From the manual:

The year is 21XX..Endless turmoil between Humans and Reploids continues to wreak havoc on Earth,and Humankind has placed its hopes of survival on an exodus to space.

A full-fledged evacuation to the satellite moon has begun, thanks to thecompletion of "Jakob" a giant rail elevator. A large contingent of "newgeneration" Reploids has already been sent to the moon to construct a base.

However these "new generation" Reploids, capable of transforming into anyoneelse with the right DNA, pose a secret threat, as they have copied some verydangerous DNA - the DNA of Sigma, thought to have been previously destroyed.

Reploid revolts are springing up all over. X, along with Zero and Axl, heads tospace on a mission to investigate - and squelch, if possible - this extremelyhazardous situation.

WALKTHROUGHo---------------------o

**Cutscene**Things start off with the explanation of the Jakob system. A car falls off andX investigates. A reploid group looking like Sigma appear then one of themchanges to normal form and introduces himself as Lumine. He and the otherreploids changed to Sigma to protect themselves from damage using the same DNAtechnology as Axl. A warning occurs and Alia says she is picking up readingsfrom the Jakob facility and dispatches all hunters near Point Galapagos**end cutscene

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Noah's Park+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

X and Axl start things off. Alia tells X to pick up samples. Run right and killthe Bombees, Bustards, and Land Torpedoes. You'll encounter a Crabboss-Y. (Aboss already?)

---------------Mid Boss Fight: Crabboss-Y


10/26

HP: 32Attacks: Claw Crush, Body Blow, and Vulcan

Shoot the blue cores on its legs while avoiding the Vulcan shots and when theyare destroyed, the Crabboss-Y will lean to its site and give you a chance todamage it. If you have Axl still intact, you can have him jump and hold fire tohover and pelt the boss with Axl Bullets in a continous stream till it retreats---------------

Your partner teleports in and X says he has a sample of the Crabboss-Y andleaves Axl by himself to fight. There is a cliff with Crab-Ks below if you falldown. Use your hover to get across. The Batonbon Ss are no threat here. Justhover across while lined up with the Metals. There are Crab-Ks, Bombees, andBustards to take out as you pass a waterfall you'll need to return to when youre-enter as Zero. Watch out for Land Torpedoes popping out the waterfalls.There are two more Bustards followed by one that has been Mame-Qed and hashoming missiles. Enter the door and ward off a swarm of Batonbon Ss until youget your metals and can exit out. Zero comes in and badgers Axl. You may noticea strange rock above but you'll have to re-enter with X after he gets hisHead Parts I to break it. Jump down the waterfall to fight Crabboss-Y again.

---------------Mid Boss Fight: Crabboss-YHP: 32

Attacks: Claw Strike and Body Blow

It attacks from behind the waterfall this time so attack its face. Crab-K'scome in and try to interfere so watch out. As you attack the boss, watch forits claw and Alia will pop in and tell you to use the double team attack whichbeats the Crabboss-Y into submission and another retreat.---------------

Both Mavericks talk as you head right. Axl obtained another sample and Zerotells him to head back. Zero is alone now. Run right and use guard break on theMettaurs and kill them. A Queen Bombee appears from behind but is harmless fornow. You can guard break the Moledigs and take them out in few slashes. Takeout the Spikeys on your way to a closed bunker. Double jump to the one above

and kill Queen Bombee before you enter. Wipe out the Bombee swarm and get theprizes and continue. X rejoins you. Run right and take out the block for somemetals and kill the Floatgunners. You can guard break the Protectorals or waitfor rhem to turn. Drop down the line of metals and kill the Floatgunners,Spikeys, and the lone Bustard and hit the switch, and climb up the closingwalls quickly before they crush you. Run right and double jump up theabove platform, squash the enemies and hit the switch. Get the Metal and thelife up. Enter the door and your partner comes in and Alia explains tells themto use the double team attack for the best strategy

---------------Boss Fight: Crabboss-YHP: 64

Attacks: Claw Crush and Body Blow

This guy can bounce back attacks now. Guard Crush it to stun it then use thedouble team at its head when it is in position. This takes out half its HP.Get the red n blue gems to boost up your meter and repeat the process to winthe fight.---------------

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Primrose


11/26

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Kill the Batonbon Ss and Bustards and enter the teleporter. Just hit one redswitch to flip the screen 180 degrees and enter the teleporter. If you have Axlon your team. Be sure to kill one of the Rolleroids with a copy shot for itsDNA to use later on since they are impervious to spikes. Hit the red switchand kill the Rolleroids and Batonbon Ss then hit the red switch at the end orair dash to the teleporter. Hit the switch above to make the blocks crush theBustards and hit it again to get the Metals. Hit it once more to proceed. Hitanother red switch to encounter the Bustard and get the Metal then hit itagain to proceed to the teleporter. Hit the red switch to kill everyone butbe sure to hit it again because the spikes coming out the blocks are PrickleGuard proof. Hit the red switch at the end to enter the teleporter. Take outall enemies to get to the lower right. Get all Metals first and hit the greenswitch. Climb up and hit the other green switch and hit it again and get themetals. Hit it once more for a metal and the teleporter above. Wait for Spikeyto fall down then air dash to the green button and crush the Spikey and theTortshell then wall jump to the red switch and enter the teleporter in theupper right. Hit the red switch and fall all the way down. and land on a greenswitch, before you fall, hold right and get the Metals then fall and keephitting switches till you are running to the left and getting a line of Metalsand ending with a teleporter at the end. In this room, There is ablock above you which you need Zero's double jump and X's Charged Crystal Wallwhich you lack so skip it. It contains a Rare Metal when you go back for it.Go up the stairs and hug the right walls to avoid the Spikeys. You'll enter a

trap room with blocks that rise and fall. There is a spike that comes out ofthe middle of them so stay inbetween the blocks. I recommend staying in themiddle and there is one point where it looks like you're smashed but hold rightand you'll live for now. After the blocks are through moving, they explodeand you can proceed but pick up the treasure left behind. There is a quickerway to get the Head parts so instead of doing a bunch of crazy stuff, here iswat you do. Hit the green switch twice and the Protectoral should be on thelower right between the spikes. Kill it and use you Prickle Barrier to get inthe hole and get the Head Parts I. Exit out and use Axl's Rolleroid Copy tomake it to safe haven and enter the teleporter in the upper left. Hit the redswitch to flip the screen and hit the one in the lower area when it is safe.There is a block with a red switch on top of it. hit the switch and fall downand get the metals and hit the red switch at the end and enter the teleporter.

Get all the goods below including a rare Metal. Then enter the final teleporterin the stage. Make your way to the gate in the lower right and get ready tofight Gravity Antonion

---------------Boss Fight: Gravity AntonionHP: 64Attacks: Body Blow, Cube Drop, Juuhazan, and Cube Falls

Shoot him or slash him till he is invincible then wait for him to stopflashing and continue attacking. Careful when getting close to him. He willdo his Juuhazaan and say "You're weak" (you'll eat those words, buster).His Squeeze Bomb nullifies all attacks save Shadow Runner, Rasensetsu, and

Black Arrow. Which you lack. Watch out for his goo too. It traps you. Thereis a huge move in the room too which he tries to smash you with. If he lifts itup, be sure to be far away as possible then dash at him when he tosses it. Healso shifts the gravity in similar fashion as the red and green switches youused earlier. When his life hits a 1/3, he'll do his DM which is Cube Falls. Itis a series of falling cubes that does major damage. Use your Doubleteam whenhe is almost finished to take out 16 of his HP which he should have less orequal to when you hit him with it.---------------


12/26

*******************************************************************************Interlude*******************************************************************************X complains about this whole war and Alia tries to console him. Axl seems tolove the "fight for justice" and Alia scolds him but X defends him.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Metal Valley+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A Yellow Brontes is on the loose and has gone berserk. No time to sit there andlook at it. It is after you so MOVE IT! MOVE IT! MOVE IT! With Zero use yourdouble jump to get the rare metal on top of the dinosaur bones. Don't botherfighting the enemies unless necessary. For the most part, you can air dash overthem. At the end, try to use the switch to hit the Brontes 3 times. Inbetween hits, keep an eye on the laser it shoots. When you see it ready to fireat you, get down and stand next to Brontes and you're safe until it tries topunch you. Climb back up but if it readies its laser, head back next to it andtry again. After the third hit, it retreats. Now you chase it back. Pelt itwith bullets to make it drop red Metals worth 50 Metals a piece. Use Axl tomove along the girders and get the Rare Metal. Come back to this stage afteryou beat Earthrock Trilobyte and use the charged Crystal Wall in the firstempty ditch left by the Brontes. Brave through Megabayoalls and GuardGenerators as you chase the Brontes to the warehouse. Before you enter,

use the Charged Crystal Wall inside the wrecked shovel to get a purple Metalworth 500 Metals. Enter the warehouse and you're in a trap room withCrystal Walls trying to smash you. Survive it and you get treasure left behind.Go left and hit the switch on the upper right then air dash your way to theleft switch for best results and hit it. Keep going back and forth till youhit Brontes six times. Enter the left door and face Earthrock Trilobyte.

---------------Boss Fight: Earthrock TrilobyteHP: 64Attacks: Body Blow, Crystal Wall, Bound Blaster, Wave Wall

Use Zero's Juuhazan for best results. The swing may be slow but it does heavy

damage on him. Use the Doubleteam for 16HP damage free. When his life hits1/3, his DM is the Wave Wall where he sends a wave of Crystal Walls your wayin similar fashion to the ones in the trap room. Afterwards, use two of Axl'sSpiral Magnums to finish him off.---------------

*******************************************************************************Interlude*******************************************************************************Layer congradulates Zero on a well done job. Pallette reminds Zero who they areand what this? Does Layer have a crush on Zero? She even blushes too. ^_^ ^_^

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dynasty+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Gigavolt Man-O-War is on a rampage in this whole level. Ain't much to say herebut chase his ass down and keep shooting at him in your Sirius vehicle. It isnot easy as it looks because you have a certain amount of time to shoot himdown and you have its attacks to avoid throughout the chase. Press triangleto accelerate. This uses up weapon energy but don't worry, there are weaponenergy capsules throughout the stage. Watch out for signs and cross trafficthey are a pain in the ass. It's good to tag out after each time you are hit.If you take to long to defeat Gigavolt Man-O-war, there will be flashing


13/26

red lights and continue to let him live and you die regardless of energy.Successfully shoot him down, and it is time to fight him.

---------------Boss Fight: Gigavolt Man-O-warHP: 64Attacks: Body Blow, Plasma Gun, Volt Whip, Kilovolt, Megavolt, Thunder Dancer

Zero beats the crap out of him. Thanks to the Rekkyodan, your sword staysorange for the rest of the game and therefore you don't have to do anythingspecial to do the move. Just slash Gigavolt Man-O-war with any attack of Zero'sand the fight will be over quickly. The only move you can't stop is his ThunderDancer. To avoid damage, watch where you see blue sparks then move out thosespots ecause that is where lightning will strike. One double team or twostrikes later, he is gone.---------------

*******************************************************************************Interlude*******************************************************************************The ladies try to figure out the cause of new generaion reploids going Maverickdespite immunity to the Sigma virus. Axl says he is a prototype so he's immunetoo. Palette suggests analyzing him to Axl's dismay.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Central White+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++It's c-c-c-c-cold. You are on another Ride chaser. This time it is the Barius.The weapons are different here. Each Hunter has their own weapon of choice. Xcharges his weapon, Zero has wide shots and Axl has rrapid fire. Dash buttonspeeds you up and jump button brakes. Shoot everything that moves which ismainly the Kelpies, Mame-Qs and Mine Qs. If a Kelpie comes from behind, moveto the side and brake and watch him fly by and crash or get into firing range.There are crevasses that equal instant death. Keep an eye for ramps. The firstthree ramps are as follows. left, left, and a double on the right. After,a short ride on broken ice, you come across two more ramps on the right. Afterthe second ramp, pull left or you'll take a dive in the bottomless pit. Ignore

the next ramp after that on the left, it's a death trap.

---------------Mid Boss Fight: RavemantaHP: 64Attacks: Shot, Mine-Q dispatch, Kelpie dispatch

Avoid the Mine-Qs and Kelpies and when it gets down, you can get up close andstart capping on it viciously or if you have X, you can take your time and usecharge shots and avoid its shots easier. Defeat it and it will fly awaydispatching Kelpies and droping Metals before it blows up---------------

Now you got more Kelpies and Mine-Qs to shoot. Shou-Qs come in pairs with anelectrical barrier that slows you and does damage. Shoot one to break thebarrier and kill them both. There are more ramps and crevasses here. There arealso some terrain that's tough to stay on but you get lots of metals if you do.On the first ramp, pull right to avoid crashing and dying. You'll be in asecret area with good treasure and its a shortcut to the Ravemanta.

---------------Boss Fight: Ravemanta (Round 2)HP: 96


14/26

Attacks: Body Blow, Shot, Kelpie Dispatch, Mine-Q Dispatch

This is just like the last fight except its pattern is changed and it hasadded a kamikaze (does hurt itself) attack to its arsenal. it does one chargeat a time but here is the pattern of charges, left, left, right, left, right,repeat pattern. It also has 96 HP so the fight is longer.---------------

At the end of the ride, you'll leap off your Barius as it crashes into the walland clear a path to the boss but don't be in a hurry to fight yet. There aretwo items you need to get above. Climb the wall with Zero and do a mega jumpnear the top and double jump to reach the foundation above. You'll need theShinig Ray from Optic Sunflower to melt the ice so come back later, it leads tothe Head Parts H. If you got Axl, hover to the left and get the rare Metal. Nowjump back down and enter the gate. Just great, you fall into the snow.

---------------Boss Fight: Avalanche YetiHP: 64Attacks: Body Blow, Ice Gatling, Hyouryuushou, Drift Diamond, Snow Eisen

Shock him out his attacks with powers from Gigavolt Man-o-War. It's hard tonail him with Zero's Raikousen unless he is coming down from an Hyouryuushou.THe Thunder Dancer and Plasma Gun are just fine. His DM is the Snow Eisen but

it won't do nothing to you because he'll be dead when you shock him with theThunder Dancer once more before the Snow Eisen becomes a threat.---------------

*******************************************************************************Interlude*******************************************************************************Alia has completed her analysis of the Maverick data so far. The copy chipsis what makes the new generation reploids immune to the Sigma Virus because itchanges their DNA. She also compared Axl's data to those of the new generationreploids and found out some interesting info. OH NO! Sigma??! The data is thechips closely resemble that of Sigma but there is no clue on the meaning.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Inferno+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This stage starts off by scrolling upwards and your goal is to make it to thebottom but you can't just drop off or you'll die. You'll take damage if caughtat the top. The Floatgunners are the only enemies here. Some blocks explodewhile others contain metals. At the end of the line, jump off the platform withmetals below in the nick of time. Go right and leap over the Guardroid and kllhim from behind and enter the door. You're now in a trap room where sixteenMine-Qs pop out of the furnace and your prize depends on how many you kill.Proceed right afterwards and jump over the pipes. Use a Charge Crystal Wall inthe upper right for a purple metal worth 500 metals. Drop down and head left.Notice that hole covered by spikes? You'll need to come back to that point

later on. That leads to a rare metal which becomes Zero's T-Breaker. You'llneed to do some careful wall jumping on your way down because there arespikes everywhere including on the floor at the beginning of the spike riddenarea. Once you make it to where there are two Guardroid HIGs blowing ice at youuse Axl's rapid fire from a safe spot or kill them quick. Slide down the leftto avoid the Megabyoall and slide down the left wall and aim for the spinnerof the Megabyoall and hop over the spikes and drop down the right and kill theBindholder. At this point, you don't have Zero's T-Breaker yet so you can'tbreak the ground below yet. For now, watch for the spikes below and aim for thewall on the left and carefully hop up the wall. There is a Foots parts H

waiting for you here. Jump down the shaft and grab the left wall once you outof that spikey area and slide down. USe your Buster parts X to blast theGuardroid HIG through the wall. Stun the Megabyoall and make your way to thespikes and double jump over them or hop the wall on the left and air dash overthem carefully. Guide through the Megabyoalls and use a copy shot on theFlyroid and take its DNA. From here you can either climb all the way up to thathole from earlier on, die then return from the start, or revisit the stage.Whatever the case, head back to where the flyroid was and enter the door onthe left. This time you have 20 Mine-Qs coming out the furnace. After youcollect your prizes, go left and climb up the falling platforms. On the lastplatform, air dash along the line of metals and kill the Guardroids and get therare Metal behind them. Now leap all the way to the lower left and the screenscrolls up again. There are more exploding blocks along with more Floatgunnersand Guardroid LIGs in the way. The platforms are longer too. Watch for lasersand use blocks for cover. At the end, the floor falls and you fight the boss.

---------------Boss Fight: Burn RoosterHP: 64Attacks: Body Blow, Crest Shot, Enkoujin, Melt Creeper, Flame Burner. FlameTornado.

Ice attacks are your friend. They do massive damage to him. After one hit, hedoes the Melt Creeper which you can avoid by wall hoping then air dashing.

After another shot, he'll retreat to the background and perform the VolcanoRise that make the floor rise and fall. Keep hitting him with ice attacks asthey prevent most of his moves. His DM is the Flame Tornado which prevent youfrom wall hopping but no worries. He falls in one double team or oneHyouryuushou.---------------

Burn Rooster might be dead but you're not finished. You have to escape thevolcano by jumping up the platforms and getting metals while avoiding therising lava. Grab the 3000-Metal piece to complete the stage.

There is aGolem ride armor that you can safely attack from a distance. Kill theFloatgunner and board the Cyclops. Go back and get the Metals and double backand go on a rampage. Only a few enemies can damage the armor. Not even spikesare a threat to you when you are in the Cyclops. There is a point where youget out your ride and leave it on the elevator then lift it and get back in

the armor and there are Guardoid HIGs that blow fire. Get out and use a copyshot on the Spheroid because you'll need its DNA later on. The golem ride armorgo down with a one-two punch. Continue on the rampage till you reach a spikyconveyor belt that is deadly to step on minus armor. Stand on the conveyor beltand drop the ride off and use the above path to catch up with it and get in.Jump right quick and enter the door. Do the old one-two punch to all robots.Once you exit the room, jump out and kill the mine-Qs and get back in and dropit off at another elevator and lift it. Jump to the left and float left andjump out in midflight and air dash over the spikes and get the Foot Parts I andhave the completed Icarus armor. Now do that whole elevator process bit but

kill the Mine-Qs first and step on the floors that sink underneath the armorand air dash to the top right and punch the blocks for a 500-Metal piece.Drop down on a high platform and leave the armor and turn into a Rolleroidand roll left. (Megaman's slide coulda did this). Get the Rare Metal and otherMetals and turn back to Axl and reboard the armor and take the above path. Getout the armor and catch up to it but before you do, use the charge armor punchcombo to kill the Bind holder when it is close. Leave the armor at a safe spot.Now get the metals in the upper right the go beneath it and hit the switchbelow to lower the elevator. Now go back to the armor and board the elevator,get out and hit the switch and reboard the armor and hit the left blocks anduse the Charged Crystal Wall in the corner for a Rare metal. Reboard and hoverto the right and enter the door. Defeat all Golems to proceed. Take out theMine-Q and stay on the left block till the right one is even then from theright block, jump off to the conveyor belt and then while on it, leave thearmor behind and wait for it to get on the elevator and then make it up thevertical shaft, and kill the enemies in the way and wait for your armor toreach you then jump on and hop left. And fall down the shaft and the floorbreaks and you get a free ride through many metals including a rare one. Nowgo right and get out and destroy the bomb block on top and the top left blockfrom after that and get in the armor and make a break for the boss room.

Attacks: Body Blow, Green Spinner, Bamboo Spear, Blast Launcher, Yourentotsu,Bear Hug, Youdantotsu

Although he can knock you out the armor, he still messed if you get to himwith your armor intact because he takes massive damage with it. But if youlost your armor, no problem. Fire powers hurt him bad. The boss, the boss, theboss is on fire. There's no need for water make that mothersucker burn. BURN,MOTHERSUCKER, BURN! His DM is the Youdantotsu which does major damage as itis a punch flurry. Hang in there and burn him to the ground.---------------

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Troia Base+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This is a guide to get all S-ranks in Troia Base

Posted by Knight9910 on the MMX8 GameFAQs message board with some editing by us

Have the full Icarus armor (all "I" pieces, the suit should glow red) so youhave the Giga Crush. The Giga Crush can end most challenge instantly and will

charge on its own if you wait in the halls.

Also, don't die. This drops your rank instantly. It's easy to die in the hallsbecause of all the spikes and pits so be careful.

1. In this mission you're on a big block in the middle of the ocean. Falling inthe water = instant death here so be careful. Anyway, enemies will fly in fromaround you to attack and you have to destroy as many as possible in the timelimit. You need 90 points for an S


17/26

2. In this one you're falling through the air and a Flight-Q will fly up anddown in a UFO. You have to kill it. You can slash it or just use my method ofthe Giga Crush to end this instantly.

3. You're on a bunch of moving platforms. An Ghost-Q will randomly teleportaround, leaving small energy balls that hurt you if you touch them. Don't fallor you're dead. My advice is, once again, Giga Crush.

4. You're standing on the rotating gears. Jumping-Qs jump up and down betweenthe gears. This can be challenging if you try to fight them normally as thegears rotate up and down and going off either side is instant death. You knowwhat I'm going to say here, don't you? Giga Crush when they're both on thescreen.

4.5 (by us). Before the door to test 5. Use an air dash to reach the upperleft corner and use a Squeeze Bomb in that area to break the wall andget the Buster Parts H.

5. You're on a big elevator with a giant Scale-Q who floats around and shootsenergy bullets. As you hit him he shrinks. My advice is to switch to Zero. Ifhe has the Rekkyoudan move you can just stand there and slash the enemy untilhe shrinks and dies without taking a single hit from his energy bullets.

5.5. In here is where the halls get tricky. For the next hall you have to cling

to the walls to your right. You'll need impeccable timing with the dash buttonto make it across.

6. You're on a giant conveyor belt. A spiked wall is behind you, moving in andbefore you is a Scorpy-Q in a weird contraption, shooting at you. You can dothis any number of ways. The spikes won't go all the way but you do have atime limit here and that conveyor belt is pushing you into a pit. My advice iseither shoot the enemy with X's Icarus Buster or use the Giga Crush.

6.5. Another tough hallway. You have to scale a wall over a pit. Be carefulmaking the jumps. Also, there's a rare metal here. Slide down the platform anddash in under the door. The metal is on a hidden platform down there.

7. In here you're on another elevator and now a Guardrpid VR with a sword (andon S-Rank another with a rifle) jump around trying to kill you. Kill themhowever you feel like. They're really easy.

Note: You may end up fighting Vile here. It only happened to me once and I'mnot sure if there's a time limit on it or not since it's been a while since ithappened to me.

7. 5. There's a LOT of spikes here. If you have Axl you'll get a lot of useout of him here. If not jump, then dash over the first spike bunch. Cling tothe big wall there then jump and dash over the next spike bunch. CAREFULLYjump and dash through the two sets of spikes and cling to the wall. Fall downand dash over and cling to the next wall down. It is important you cling to

the bottom wall. DO NOT try to dash to the door; you won't make it! Insteadcling to the bottom wall then jump and dash to the door, picking up the redmetal on the way.

8. This is another hard one. Especially since the Giga Crush doesn't work here.You're on a moving train with a Dragon-Q flying above you. First it usescannons that shoot down at you. Destroy those and the head begins shootingfire. Destroy all the body segments, followed by the head.

On S-Rank the small enemy inside will now begin shooting giant blasts of energy


18/26

at you. Destroy the cannons on him and he'll shoot small energy bullets thatblossom into those giant blasts. Strike him a few more times to kill him.

This part is hard and you're biggest fear will be staying alive. But if you canstay standing you'll have no problem. You have 30 seconds for an S ranking.

You need to play this level twice to get both Rare Metal prizes in the. Firstone requires an S in 5-7 tests and the other requires all 8 S rankings. Moveforward to the boss

---------------Boss Fight: Optic SunflowerHP: 64Attacks: Body Blow, Ray Sphere, Raygun, Shining Ray, Earth Crush

This dude is a fag. He reminds us of Hyena from King of Fighters: MaximumImpact. Keep an eye on where he pops up. That determines where to dodge hisattacks. The blocks provide cover from his Raygun. Green Spinners knock him outof his attacks. His DM is the earth crush, keep moving to avoid being hit.Hit him with 2 more attacks given by Bambo Pandamonium or use a double teamto win.---------------

*******************************************************************************

Interlude*******************************************************************************Only one to go. Is it the last one or just the beginning? It's been a whilesince Lumine's capture. Elevator seems normal but Layer is worried. Axl liftseveryone's spirits up.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Pitch Black+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++It is dark as death up in here. Leap and dash over the beams and kill theMettaur GMs and Siren-Qs as you go. At the end, jump up and kill the BatonbonSs and slide between fan blades. As you travel down the elevator use the blocksfor cover against the lasers. The metals guide you here. Go left into the

opening and fend off the Fla-Qs and get the prizes left behind. Time for someMetal Gear Solid stuff to go down. Avoid the searchlights and fend off theFloatgunner. Be sure to copy the Guardroid LIG at the end for it's DNA. Shootthe Siren-Q and hop over the pit and enter the hidden area behind the wall onthe left. Turn into a Guardroid and press Triangle to salute the guard who isnapping and he'll salute back and run in the room and fall back asleep. Turnback to Axl and use the Plasma Gun on the generator. Use X's Charged CrystalWall in front of the generator for a rare metal. Then exit out, leap over thepit and get all the Metals above including the rare Metal at the end. Doubleback and fall down and head right and kill all in your path till you reach aplatform that can be reached by Zero's double jump over X's Foot Parts I andhop all the way to the top right for a Rare Metal out of sight. Drop backdown and enter a trap room full of Guardroids who will die at the hands of

Axl's Raygun easily. You could win a 500-Metal piece. Get out and stop theMegabyoall and drop down the elevator shaft with blocks for cover and go rightat the bottom. Watch the spikes below and the enemies here, Use Zero's doubleJump or X's Foot Parts I to get the 500-Metal piece safely, Get the goods onthe ride and sacrifice some life climbing up to get the Body Parts H. Now it'sbetter to fall down and sacrifice some life and pull right at the opening. Stunthe Gabyoalls and kill the Guardroids and get ready to rumble.

19/26

HP: 64Attacks: Body Blow, Shadow Runner, Black Arrow, Blood Scythe, Death Energy

Axl's Raygun does a good job and so does the Shining Ray when charged. His DMis the death energy which compose of two big swipes on each side. Double teamhim when he falls down.---------------

*******************************************************************************Interlude*******************************************************************************X is now postive that Sigma is the culprit. Alia says things are bound to bedifferent this time. All Mavericks seem to be Sigma copies. Sigma appears inthe monitor and taunts the Hunters. Off to the elevator.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Jakob+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Ain't much to say here but kill kill kill everything in sight since you are onthe elevator the whole stage and the enemies are Shou-Qs, Bombees, a Binholderand various Guardroids. At the top awaits Vile himself.

---------------Boss Fight: Vile

HP: 64Attacks: Body Blow, Flight Shot (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, or Lambda), Fire Stream,Hexa-Involute

You have fought Vile three times before and as usual, ice attacks just take himto school but this time you can't wall jump as he has 64 HP this time. His DMis the Hexa-Involute. It is a Hexagon shaped pattern of voltage that circlesthe room. The volts are safe to pass through when they thin out temporarily.A couple more ice attacks and Vile retreats again for now.---------------

*******************************************************************************

Interlude*******************************************************************************Zero and Layer have their little chat and Zero asks Layer for her hand inmarriage. OK I'm just kidding. He really asks her to be his navigator to helptake down Sigma.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Gateway+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Honestly now. Do I even have to tell you about this level? Seriously. Well ifyou never played a Mega Man game before then I'll spill the beans. This is thepart where you fight all the original bosses again. Each boss is represent bythe color on the capsule and a recap of weaknesses. Beat one and get the items

in the room before facing the next boss.

Amber: Earthrock Trilobyte (Gravity Antonion)Black: Dark Mantis (Optic Sunflower)Gold: Optic Sunflower (Bamboo Pandamonium)Green: Bamboo Pandamonium (Burn Rooster)Lavender: Gravity Antonion (Dark Mantis)Light Blue: Gigavolt Man-o-War (Earthrock Trilobyte)Orange: Burn Rooster (Avalance Yeti)White: Avalanche Yeti (Gigavolt Man-o-war)


20/26

Beat them all then you get a message to evacuate. Go back the way you enteredthe room as the floor fall behind you and enter the gate to face Sigma.

---------------Boss Fight: SigmaHP: 96Attacks: Body Blow, Straight Divide, Arc Divide, Reflect Magnum, Doom Buster,Blazing Line.

Dark Mantis powers take care of him. He has a charge move called the DoomBuster that is unavoidable if he uses it so you got to knock him out of hischarge with a guard breaking move or take massive damage regardless of whereyou are. His straight Divide is avoided by wall jumping. Near the end, Sigmawill use his Blazing Line to set the floor ablaze for the rest of the fight.No prob. Dash to the other side and sacrifice some life if needed and doubleteam him and ABC ya Sigma. WHAT! It was a fake!---------------

*******************************************************************************Interlude*******************************************************************************Multiple Maverick signals on the moon surface. Ther heroes sense Sigma and the

other was a copy. Let's go team. Let's get Sigma.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Sigma's Palace+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++To the moon we go. The signal is jammed, so no contact with headquarters. Doesnot bother us at all. There are various Guardroids, Turncannons which blow outfire and plenty of spikes. I know what you're thinking, if you're on the moonthen why aren't the jumps high as the screen and why don't you float down. Ican't answer that. Anyways, enter the gate at the end for the final fight withVile.

---------------

Boss Fight: Vile + Devil Bear ArmorHP: 48Attacks: Body Blow, Flight Shot (Alpha, Beta, or Gamma), Fire Stream, DevilRush, Devil Stomp

Him again? **yawn** This time he is in the Devil Bear ride armor. Use a guardbreaker move to knock him out of it. Then proceed to put him on ice. As long ashe is out the armor in which he is invincible. When he gets back in, knock himback out and finish him off. Watch as he blows up and dies.---------------

Head right and use the Raygun to blast the Guardroid Alphas and Tortshells to

bits from a distance. If one of the Guardroid Alphas throws homing balls, ceasefire and commence attack. When one of the Guardroids has a shield, Axl'sBlast Launcher can take care of that. Always be sure to slide down the wallsbecause there may be spikes below especially when you get to the secondshielded Guardroid Alpha. Destroy it and the other Guardroid Alpha (with homingballs) with the Blast Launcher while hoping back up the wall to avoid aprickly death. Hold right as you slide down the wall to the right because anair dash will land you in the pit beyond this point. Make it to the right anddo a low air dash to get in the opening safely. The vertical shaft full ofspikes is not hard to negotiate. Just be careful of where you leap. It's only


21/26

four jumps. On the left, hover to the piece in the center then hop over thespikes and hover to the ledge and wall hop onto it. Now hover over the pitand use the Blast Launcher then Raygun to finish the two Guardroid Alphas andenter the gate. Keep moving and you'll face Sigma possibly for the last timein the X series ever as rumored.

---------------Boss Fight: SigmaHP: 96Attacks: Body Blow, Eclipse Ray (Alpha, Beta, or Gamma), Phantom Divide,Rage Divide (Hard Mode only), Arch Divide, Doom Buster, Blazing Line,Mirage Claw

Damn, Sigma looks real jacked up. He has a barrage of attacks. The EclipseRays can all be avoided by wall jumping. The Raygun is the best weapon to useon him. After a series a rings, he'll vanish and do his Phantom Divide whichcan be avoiding by dashing away. Blast him as he misses. He'll do that moreoften as his health goes down. He'll do his DM (Mirage Claw) earlier in thefight and its unavoidable. Use a Tag Assist to break it the moment Sigmaappears. Now he fights dirty, he'll use Blazing Line on one wall and don'tget on the wall behind Sigma till he does his Eclipse Rings or he'll do hisArch Divide. Once he is throwing rings, aim your Raygun down at him. If heis charging up his Doom Buster (while he is doing other moves), use Blast

Launcher to knock him out of the charge. Soon he will fall for the last time.---------------

+Cutscene+Lumine arrives and reveaks that he was behind the whole thing.

---------------Boss Fight: LumineHP: 96Attacks: Body Blow, DMs of the original eight bosses depending on the colorhe is glowing.

If you remembered the color of the beams each boss has then you know what DMsare coming up. Here's a recap:

Amber: Earthrock Trilobyte [Wave Wall] (Gravity Antonion)Black: Dark Mantis [Death Energy] (Optic Sunflower)Gold: Optic Sunflower [Earth Crush] (Bamboo Pandamonium)Green: Bamboo Pandamonium [Youdantotsu] (Burn Rooster)Lavender: Gravity Antonion [Cube Falls] (Dark Mantis)Light Blue: Gigavolt Man-o-War [Thunder Dancer] (Earthrock Trilobyte)Orange: Burn Rooster [Flame Tornado] (Avalance Yeti)White: Avalanche Yeti [Snow Eisen] (Gigavolt Man-o-war)

If you remebered how to avoid these attacks then you're okay.

---------------

+Cutsecene+

Lumine a Maverick? Lumine says the copy chip consists of DNA from hundredsof Reploids even Sigma. That might mean Axl will go bad but Lumine says he isnot capable. Lumine questions X's heart but Zero and Axl keeps his head on hisshoulders. Time for the final battle come on

---------------


22/26

Final Boss Fight: LumineHP: 96Attacks: Body Blow, Refrain, Legato, Bel Canto, Grave, Unison, Oratorio,Paradise Lost.

He has no weakness so that means, take any weapon and kick ass. The first partof the fight is easy. He'll dive at you first. To avoid his Bel Canto, startclose to him and move away carefully and jump when out of room because you canfall to your death. After a bit of damage, he'll add the Legato to his arsenalwhich is 8 sets of twin lasers. Stay in the middle and jump to avoid a set oflasers and try to junmp at least not to high or too low so you can fall andavoid the next set and repeat 3 more times. When he uses Grave, move to thesafe spots and memorize where they fell because they'll rise in the order ofthe spots they fell. Unison is hard to dodge but hang in there and keeppummeling him. His DM is the Paradise Lost and it darkens the screen. Youhave 30 seconds to beat him or it's game over regardless of retires left.You need to guard break him three times and then doubleteam him to finish himoff. Beat him with Axl for the special ending. You win!---------------
