Q: Who is Skeith?A: "Riding the Wave is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands." ~Epitaph of Twilight~
To be put quite simply, Skeith is the First Phase of the Cursed Wave, the destructive force hellbent on destroying the world while simultaneously attempting to delay the progression of Aura's awakening. Known as "The Terror of Death," Kite becomes quickly acquainted with this fiend in the dungeon of Δ Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field, almost immediately after Kite's first Login. He and Yasuhiko, the player controlling Orca of the Asure Seas, first observe Skeith chasing Aura in the field's dungeon, and while the creature initially ignores the duo in favor of his prey, he opts to fight them after Aura's bequests the Book of the Twilight to Orca. Skeith mercilessly Data Drains Orca, placing Yakuhiko into a coma in the real world, but Helba, the infamous hacker, interferes in his attempt to repeat the action on Kite by banishing him from the area.
The rest of INFECTION is spent attempting to gather information about the creature's whereabouts, until finally Aura messages him, pleading for him to quickly assist her at Θ Chosen Hopeless Nothingness. However, despite their haste, Kite and BlackRose arrive too late and watch helplessly as Aura is Data Drained by Skeith and divided into three fragments. The fight begins soon afterward.
Q: Why would I want to defeat Skeith if he is so infamously difficult?A: It's required. He's the Final Boss of INFECTION, and if you don't defeat him, you cannot place a Data Flag on your Save File, and you cannot transfer your hard work onto MUTATION. And we don't want that, now do we?
