WoW has one as well, and since the author played RO it's possible he's taking it from there. It's worth pointing out if that's all it is, it'd be a pretty lame 'mystery' as it'd be introducing a magical "new" thing to circumvent the 'locked room' aspects. |

Mabinogi and WOW for example both have such a skill, Ragnarok, as you have stated, has one too, and considering how SAO even has a separate skill for tracking who built an item it is very plausible that it also has a fake death skill, especially if you consider that there is no magic - thus no healer. The lack of a healing class is imho something you need to compensate for and a Fake Death skill is the best way to do this.

Follwoing that line of thinking he only saw the knife in her back but never how it ended up there. The idea of a one hit kill is also a bit ridiculous considering how she is basically on the same floor Kirito, who is probably the highest level player atm is. Maybe its just me having found a plothole then though: A month before (EP 4) Krirot had according to his own statement around 15'000 life points with a regeneration of 600, so we can assume that he has a lot more now. Assuming he is the highest level player in the game and how that girl was on the same stage he was their level difference can be a maximum of ~ 10 Level. I personally think it was even less. Which brings us the the possible plothole and the reason I believe she has a fake death or at least a very advanced stealth skill: Considering everything I said above she would have at least 15 000 Life points, so its nearly impossible that she died from just one hit with throwing knife. Don't forget what Kirito said: No matter what yoou think about the game its pretty fair. So I personally doubt that someone around the same level as this girl could one hit her. The other possibility is that the perpetrator had a highly advanced stealth skill so no one was able to see them, which would be imho pretty lame. Schmidt is btw a witness so what he says doesn't necessarily have to be true. That does however not mean that he is lying he might just tell his view which is still allowed. More than enough have them though, reasons to believe SAO has one too are in my other post and this one.

(The other thing about both this weapon and the other one is that they have those sort of red sparkles flying around them. Is that supposed to indicate that the weapon is enchanted somehow, or is that just supposed to be a sort of blood effect? I guess we'll see...)

One of her former Guild mates was at the strategy meeting though so you can assume that she is not that far behind him. Quote:
And yes the way she fell was pretty wierd - jsut so everyone could see her stabbed. Anothe reason I think her death is fake. Edit: another funny fact is, which might be just a drawing error though, that the rope the first guy was hung with was still taut after he died, so a stealth/fake death skill is a pretty good guess imho.

Earlier in the ep she stated that the Golden Apple guild was all mid-level players, no? |

Both deaths are strange no matter how you look at them, especially the last one. While falling damage would be a good way to explain it it actually contradicts the fact that the only way to die inside safe areas is through duels so the falling damage couldn't have killed her. A one -hit with such a small knife is imho just strange. The other one must have recieved a lot of damage within a short time span too, which could be part of the spears ability as the guy tried to pull it out. Assuming he really died he probably lost more life to the barbs than the the attack itself.

The guild fell apart 6 months ago, and since then Schmidtt has been working harder, and joined a higher level guild. It's hardly an uncommon story.

I merely brought up that she could have lied about her level, which, as Kirito has proven, is possible. The fact that a duel is the only way to die inside a safe zone was btw stated by the charaters themselves so its not made up either, which is why falling damage couldn't have killed her unless she was currently in a duel. And even if she really was in a duel - why would she turn around to fall out of the window and show everyone the dagger instead of falling backwards/forward. if you are talking about what I said about the rope: It really was still taut - you can actually rewatch the episode and look at the scene where Asuna and kirito talk about the crime next to it.

It's a pretty minor point, but apparently you can die in a safe zone from other things. |

Another thing is that she never actually told us her current level I'm stating possibilities here, not facts that is what theorizing is about. The only fact I've stated is that witnesses and culprits are allowed to lie - everything other than that was never stated as being a fact. Quote:

My understanding of the dialog was that you can take damage, but your life can't go down to zero unless you are in a duel.
