Version 1.2 1/1/2003
Happy New Year everyone. My FAQ got posted right before New Year's

realized I made a mistake in the Weapons section about the Flame Chip.
Sorry about that.

+ 4. Introduction +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Welcome to W. Dixon's FAQ for MegaMan Zero for the GameBoy Advance. In
this FAQ, I hope to walk you through the game, helping you complete all
the missions and also helping you get to the end to see what happens.
But first, a little background information on our game.
The setting for the story: the future (way into the future, like 100
years). A girl and her friends are running for their lives to escape
from an army. This army, which somewhat resembles MegaMan X, is taking
her friends out, one by one, and is chasing them. The girl continues
to run until she hits a dead end. Just then, her little fairy friend
tells her that she feels some sort of energy coming from the wall. Her
remaining friend tells her to stand out of the way. The girl, named
Ciel, runs into this area where she sees this Reploid sleeping. As her
remaining friends attempts take out the army pursuing them, one of the
guards state that the Reploid must be someone of legendary status.
Ciel then says that this must be Zero. The guard attempts to touch
Zero, but there is some sort of force field around him. Ciel's fairy
says that he's protected. The guard then asks what he should do to
release Zero from the force field. Just then, the army takes out one
of the guards and the last guard attempts to take down the army, just
to protect Ciel. The guard says that they are cornered and that they
have to evacuate. However, Ciel does not want to go. Just as the
guard attempts to tell Ciel that they have no time to argue, 3 energy
balls hit him. Ciel screams out the guard's name, Milan. As Ciel
mourns her fallen friend, her fairy says that she should use her power.
Ciel is then worried about using Passy, her fairy. However, Passy
states that everyone is waiting for her. As all of this is going on,
the army is getting closer to them. Finally coming to her senses, Ciel
thanks Passy. However, Passy thanks her, and Ciel sends her into the
force field protecting Zero. Zero is then resurrected. Ciel then asks
Zero to help her. Without speaking, Zero enters into his battle
stance. And thus, the battle for the future begins...

+ 7. Storyline/Walkthrough +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike MegaMan games of the past, you only get one life
in this game. You get retries, however, if you die on the usual things
(pits, spikes, etc.), you have to start all over from the very
beginning. Dying on a boss will take you in front of the boss chamber.
MISSION START: PROTECTING CIEL
Start out by taking out the enemy with your Buster gun. Continue going
right until you approach some hill-like thing with enemies coming out.
Shoot everything in your path until you can start shooting the hill
thing. Destroy the hill thing. There will be a spider coming at you
as well. Jump and shoot this thing to take it out. Continue to the
right and repeat the process. If an enemy is attacking Ciel, make sure
you take the damage to protect her. Keep going right until you see the
enemies that look like X. Take them out from a distance since they
stab if you get too close. As you continue going right, take out all
the enemies that get in your way. You will then receive a Cyber Elf
when you destroy a robot. Keep going right, taking out any enemies you
may face. Ciel will then get in front of you and say that you have
reached a dead end. Suddenly, the floor will collapse under her.
You'll then dash and catch her as you two fall deep into the pit. Upon
safe landing, she says that the place you are in appears to be an old
laboratory. And that chances are, there is a Trans Server that will
take you back to the Resistance Base. She then runs off. Follow her.
When you finally catch up with her, she says that the passageway is
collapsed in. She then suggests going back, but just as she finishes,
Zero tells her to stay back. Suddenly, some huge arm grabs Ciel. You
chase after her and you see this robot with Ciel in his grasp. Ciel
then says that you can't destroy the robot with just a Buster Gun.
Thus, begins your first fight with a boss as a WARNING sign appears.
WARNING: GOLEM
Your best strategy is to ride the wall and attack the head of the
robot. If you attack the arm, you'll hurt Ciel, and if you attack
anywhere else on the robot's body, your shots will be reflected. Watch
out for the robot when he uses a laser on the roof and the wall.
Pieces of the roof will come down, hitting you in the process. Also,
the robot will ram into the roof pieces if you stand on them or aren't
using them. With enough damage to the robot, Zero will say, "Rats!"
Then, this screen in the background will come on. Some colorful thing
will shoot out the Z Saber out tell you to use it. Zero then asks who
the thing is, and the thing replies that he must save Ciel. The fight
will continue and you must get close enough tot he robot where you can
jump and attack his head. With one hit, the robot will be destroyed,
and Ciel will be free. MISSION COMPLETED.
Ciel will then say that she was surprised that you were able to destroy
a Golem. She will then say that you are Zero, the Legendary Reploid.
However, Zero replies, "Zero? Is that my name?" It appears as though
Zero has a case of amnesia. Ciel then says that Zero has hibernation
sickness, and that he should relax. She then starts apologizing for
waking Zero up and thanks Zero for saving her. She then tells him her
name. That she is Ciel and that she is a scientist. She then urges
Zero to come with her before more enemies arrive. But Zero then asks
her what if he isn't the real Zero. She says that he proved himself by
destroying the Golem. She will then enter this door. Follow her by
pressing up on the D-Pad. She says that the Trans Server still works
and that to get to the Resistance Base, you should press Up. Follow
her instruction and go to the base of the Resistance. You will then
see several options. RETURN TO BASE, DOWNLOAD ELF, FEED ELF, and EXIT.
For now, select RETURN TO BASE. You will then see your results from
the mission.
Your results are as follows:
MISISON: Determines whether you completed the mission or not.
CLEAR TIME: How fast you completed the mission.
ENEMY: How many enemies you encountered on your mission.
DAMAGE: How much damage you had taken during the mission.
RETRY: How many times you retried the same mission.
ELF: How many elves you got in the mission.
TOTAL: You receive points for each of the above categories. Your total
points are then added at in this category.
LEVEL: What rank you are as a Maverick Hunter.
CODE NAME: A name given to you after completing a mission.
You will then arrive at the Resistance Base. Ciel will tell you that
the base is a place where Reploids could come to for being suspected as
Mavericks. Ciel says that she knows that the end is near and that is
the reason why they have been looking for Zero. She explains that many
believed that Zero was a myth, but that the few that did believe were
looking for Zero. She then confirms that the Reploid in front of her
is Zero, that Legendary Reploid that fought alongside with X over 100
years ago. Zero replies that the name "X" sounds familiar to him.
Ciel then explains that X is also Legendary and that he is still alive.
She also states that X is trying to retire them all. Zero is confused
about how X wants to retire the Reploids in the Resistance. She then
answers that X has already started carrying out his plans of retiring
Reploids. She then says that that is why they needed Zero. She asks
Zero to help them. Agree to the terms by selecting OK. She then
thanks Zero and says that it is a dream come true. She says that now
that she has Zero's help, she needs a favor to ask of him. She said
that whenever you are ready, talk to her. Now is the time to explore
the base. Go left. Continue all the way left and then you will reach
a wall with some kind of transporter. Either scale the wall or use the
transported (by pressing UP), and then continue left until you see a
little girl. Press UP to talk to her. She says that her name is
Alouette. Talking to her twice will help you gain information on the
Cyber Elves. She says that the Cyber Elves give power. But that once
they use their powers, the Cyber Elves die. Continue to go left until
you reach a ladder that goes up. When you arrive at the surface, keep
going left until you reach a guard. Talk to him. He said that Ciel
wants to talk to you. But you cannot go beyond him to get to the
ladder he is guarding. Go back right. Going all the way to the right
will get you to another guard that is guarding another area. He then
asks you to go talk to Ciel. Go back to the left to the ladder you
came up on. Go down the ladder until you see a sign that shows where
the energy room is. Go down the ladder and go left. You will see a
door. Enter the room to collect the energy container. Go back out of
the room and up to the ladder. Upon climbing back up to the ladder,
enter the door next to Alouette. You will see an injured Reploid. He
will recognize you as Zero and then tell you that his name is Dande.
Going right will allow you to exit the room by the other door close to
Alouette. Go right until you see a transporter. Pressing Up will take
you up, while pressing Down will take you down. Take the transporter
down until you arrive at a level called Trance. You will see a
Reploid. Talk to him and he will tell you about the Trans Server. He
will explain that the Trans Server will take you anyplace you have
been. He also explains that the Trans Server is the place where you
download the Cyber Elves you have collected. Feeding the Cyber Elves
blue, Energy Crystals that you collect from enemies, will allow the
Cyber Elf to grow. Then you can use the Cyber Elf, but that it will
perish once used. He then says that you must treat Cyber Elves well,
or else they will turn on you. Continue right until you arrive at the
door with the label Trance over it. Enter the room. This is the room
with the Trans Server. Exit the room and go back to the transporter.
Go down 1 level and head left. You will see an old man. Talk to him.
He says that you look unfamiliar to him and that you should "kick butt"
so that you can become like the other Reploids. Entering the door by
the old man will take you into an abandoned room. Leave the room and
continue left until you see another door. Enter it. It's another
abandoned room. Go back to the transporter and take it down another
level. Then go right. You will see some little building there. Enter
the building and talk to the guy that's in there. The guy then tells
you that he is amazed that he finally got to meet Zero. He also tells
you about how the Z Saber has a lot of potential for power-ups and how
the Buster Gun may have the ability to shoot a charge shot. Also, he
says that the Z Saber may have an effect on other weapons as well.
Take him up on his offer to learn about weapons. He says that since
you have the Z Saber, your memory has been returning. And that the
skills you acquired on the past can be re-acquired. He says that if
you check the Menu (the pause screen), the stars close to your weapon
determine your skills. Leave the room and continue right. You will
see a guy who is too lazy to get up and find something to eat. He says
that 250 Energy Crystals will do fine. But you should have about 90
now, so, it would do you no good to deal with him now. However, he
blocks the way to the right, so go back to the transporter. Now that
you have explored every accessible area of the base, it is time to go
talk to Ciel. Go to level 2 on the transporter. This floor is marked
as Data. Enter the door labeled Data, and you will see Ciel. She'll
then ask if you are ready to listen. She says that she wants you to
destroy the Disposal Center where they retire the Reploids. No one has
ever been able to do this. She says that that is the place where
Reploids are being retired for being suspected as a Maverick. Accept
the mission. She will then ask you to save your data. Choose a slot
to save your data.
Once your data is saved, you will arrive at the surface. Ciel will say
that the Disposal Center is right ahead of you. The mission: to rescue
her comrade.
MISSION START: RESCUE THE COMRADE
Start out by going to the right. Destroy any enemies that may get in
your way. There are enemies that roll. 3 shots will destroy them.
Avoid the ladder and continue to go right. Continue to destroy
anything that gets in your way. Cyber Elves may appear from your
enemies, so collect those when you defeat the enemy. Continue to go
right until you reach a wall. Scale the wall and destroy the robot at
the top. Continue to go right. Until you see a big wide area. Scale
the wall down. Watch out for rolling robots and spikes. To climb up
on the platforms above the spikes, hold Up while jumping. Continue
going right, taking down any robots that may get in your way. You will
then see a ladder with robots all around it. Take out the robots and
make your way up to the top. Go down, taking out the robots. You may
have seen that there were 2 items on the other side of the wall as you
go down. More on that a little later. Watch out for falling spiked
robots. Also, there are spikes on the ground. By now, you should be
getting ready to have your Buster Gun level up. Once you do, you will
be able to shoot 4 shots at once. Go past the robots that come out of
the earth. You will see a Cyber Elf. Try to grab it (just by
sacrificing a few points on your life bar). Now scale the wall. Ciel
will tell you that the Disposal Center is right by the shutter. You
will soon have the Z Saber level up, enabling you to use a double
slash. Go through the shutter. Then go through the second shutter.
You will then meet the Aztec Falcon. You then learn that Harpuia the
Guardian had sent him to stop you. You'll then see that the floor
you're on has spikes and that there are Reploids underneath of it.
Aztec Falcon then says that you must be some of the garbage and that he
will dispose of you and the Reploids. So, prepare yourself for the
battle with Aztec Falcon.
WARNING: AZTEC FALCON
In the battle with Aztec Falcon, you will be using your Buster Gun a
lot, so there is a strong possibility that you will receive another
level up on your Buster. This level up will give you the ability to
shoot charged up shots. Aztec Falcon is a fast Maverick. He has some
kind of weapon that shoots out some type of electric arrow at you. He
also charges at you and he can scale the wall. Also, you are being
timed, because the spiked part of the floor is constantly approaching
the trapped Mavericks down below. Your best bet is to scale the wall
and wait for Aztec Falcon to approach you by dashing at you. When he
gets close drop down and attack him with your Z Saber. Yes, this
strategy is a little tough, because you may get hit. And getting hit
by the boss is far worse then getting hit by his attacks. Continue to
scale the wall and wait for Aztec Falcon to come to you. Then hit him
with the Z Saber. Continue this strategy to defeat him. You will then
save the Reploid down below around the time of 20 seconds left before
he is crushed. He'll say that you can go back to the base and he would
be there shortly. MISSION COMPLETED.
Ciel will then thank you for your cooperation and there will be a
floating thunder chip above you. Ciel will tell you that that is the
Thunder Chip and that you can't come back to the base without it. Jump
and grab it and you will then have the Thunder Chip in your possession.
Go to the right and walk past the other two Reploids and through the
shutter. Continue right until you see a door. Go through the door and
you will see the Trans Server. By now, you should have some Cyber
Elves, so you can either feed them or download them. Whatever you
decide to do, RETURN TO BASE to view your results and get back to Ciel
at the base.
When you get back to the base, Ciel will thank you for destroying the
Disposal Center, saying that Reploids will be safe for a while. She
then acknowledges you to be the real Zero and says that she would ask
for your help again whenever you had the time. She then says that
Cerveau, the engineer downstairs has something he wanted to give you.
The Escape Unit will allow you to abort a mission. However, the
mission will be considered a failure if you use the Escape Unit. Now,
go down to the engine room (last floor) and talk to Cerveau.
Cerveau will tell you that he and Ciel have been working on the Cyber
Elves. He also says that he had turned the engine room into a
laboratory. Cerveau, when you talk to him again, says that if he had
enough time and data, he would make you weapons. He also says that you
should talk to Andrew, the old man that you met earlier when exploring
the base.
Go back to the old man Andrew. He will ask you if you are a new guy.
And he also will ask you if you are kicking butt so that you can become
a Reploid. He then asks you if you are interested in what he has to
say. Say yes and listen to the old man. He then gets happy because
someone wants to listen to his stories. Andrew says that he once was a
handsome Reploid and that he was very popular with the ladies. He then
tells of a night where he was carrying containers and he heard a song
over the night air. He said that he saw a beautiful woman singing in
front of a crowd. He said that the song, despite the fact that his
body and mind are nothing but machines, touched him. He said that he
fell in love with the young woman and that they started to live
together. He then stops and asks if you are tired of listening to his
story. Say you aren't and he will continue. He says that the woman
grew old while he remained the same and that she resented the fact that
she looked old and wanted to avoid him. He said that he asked Ciel to
modify him so that he could be what he is now, just so that Andrew and
the woman could be together. He goes on to tell you that the woman has
long died and that her memory still lives with him. He then thanks you
for listening to his story and gives you a Cyber Elf.
With the Disposal Center taken care of, you can go back and defeat the
enemies there just to get some Energy Crystals so that you can help
some of your Cyber Elves grow. Also, you can go back there to get at
least a level 2 upgrade on both your Z Saber and Buster Gun if you
haven't done so already. Once you are finished, go back to Ciel. By
talking to Ciel at this point, you can either, BEGIN MISSION, PROCESS
DATA, or TALK. PROCESS DATA, and choose the SAVE DATA command. Save
it to your slot and then press the B Button to go back to the original
3 options. Then choose the BEGIN MISSION command.
There will be a list of 3 missions you can choose from. You can choose
DESTROY TRAIN, FIND SHUTTLE, or RETRIEVE DATA. I am assuming that you
will follow my guide to the letter, so choose the DESTROY TRAIN
Mission. If you decide to go with something else, please use Ctrl-F to
find the mission labeled in all caps.
MISSION START: DESTROY TRAIN
Ciel will tell you that the Resistance wants to destroy the enemies
supply train. She says that based on a report, the train is at an old
platform loading cargo. Declaring that the time to attack the train is
now, she asks for your help once again. Accept the mission.
You will be on the surface again. Ciel will tell you that the train is
deep underground. She then closes with the suggestion, "Keep your
guard up."
Go right and head down the ladder. Go right once again and continue
down. You will then see that there are pits below you. Jump over
them, taking down any enemies that you see. Continue going right until
you see a wire hanging above a pit. Slide down the wall and quickly
jump to the other wall and scale the wall up to avoid the wire. Or cut
the wire (duh). As you continue right, you will see that there is an
electrical wire that is swaying back and forth. Repeat the same
process you did earlier, being careful of the flying robots that are
around. Continue right. You will eventually get to the shutter that
leads to a new section. However, before doing that, go back left.
Jump up and scale the wall. You will arrive at the top and go left.
You will see a container that holds a Cyber Elf. Destroy it with your
Z Saber. Now, go back down to the shutter. Go through the two
shutters and you will see a robot. This robot has the ability to block
your shots and Z Saber. Wait for the shield to move and attack it.
But watch out for it's shots and it's ball-and-chain. After it's
destruction, you will receive a Cyber Elf. Continue to the right where
you will see yet another shutter. Go through it and through the second
shutter. You will then see a part of the train. Ciel will tell you
that within the train is a Cyber Elf that was stolen from the
Resistance Base. Ciel then says that if the Cyber Elf is taken to the
enemy, that the enemy will abuse its power. She wants you to rescue
it. Once she finished talking, the train will begin moving. She said
that the train has left and that she wants you get the Cyber Elf. You
are no being timed. Quickly scale the train wall and climb to the top.
Take down any robots that are in your way. By about this time, you
should be preparing to level up the Z Saber and Buster Gun to level 3,
where you will have the ability to do the triple slash and charge the
Buster Gun up two levels. When you have reached the last car, go down
and move to the right. Go through the shutters. Ciel will tell you
that you have reached the engine chamber. However, something is
withdrawing into some kind of protective casing as you stare at it.
She then warns you to be careful. Prepare yourself for a fight.
WARNING: X-CLONE
This is no normal X robot. This robot is in some kind of protective
casing that reflects Buster attacks. Also, there is a flame-thrower
underneath of it. And what makes matters worse, the floor can move so
that it can crush you with the spikes that can appear from the roof.
Your strategy, aim for the robot. You can't miss him, he's in the
center and he's blue. However, you are still being timed and this X
clone has 3 energy bars: 1 bar is white, another is green, the last one
is yellow. Just keep attacking and be careful of the floor as it can
set you big time. But, be careful, because when enough damage is done
to the robot, it will move closer to you, so you will have less space
to move. Also, the flame-thrower will come out much faster and the
floor will rise to the spikes faster as well. Charged shots seem to
work when he is close and the Z Saber will always be helpful. Just
watch yourself and you will defeat him. When the train stops, you will
be outside in front of the train with the Cyber Elf floating above you.
Ciel will then thank you, saying that the mission was a success. Grab
the Cyber Elf. MISSION COMPLETED.
You will return to the Resistance Base and Ciel will say that the Cyber
Elf was saved. She will also say that the enemies supply route has
been cut off. She then thanks you again. Ciel will say that the Cyber
Elf you saved was only a child, but the Elf has an amazing ability that
will make it rather powerful when it gets older. If you want to, you
can begin your care for the Cyber Elf by going to the Trans Server.
Well, whatever you decide to do, talk to Andrew, the old man. He'll
say that you must have a lot of time on your hands. Agree to listen to
his story. This time, Andrew will talk about his travels as a sailor.
He rode on a beautiful yellow vessel. Well, it just so happens that he
would constantly be thrown off overboard every time a storm would come.
He then says he had considered quitting the job. He then asks if you
are getting tired of listening to his story. Say no and he'll
continue. He says that he then became a full-fledged sailor. He said
that he ended up traveling all over the world, meeting people and
having emotional farewells. He then says that his bosses were very
demanding, but that he has fond memories of them. He says that he
wishes to go back to the ocean once peace returns. And, for listening
to his story, he will give you Energy Crystals (500 of them!). With
500 Energy Crystals, you can feed the lazy bum downstairs and feed it
to some of your Cyber Elves. Once you get the Crystals, go talk to
Cerveau. He will tell you that the more you use a weapon, the more
your skills will go up. Talk to him again and he will say that
developing weapons isn't easy. Talk to him again and he will say that
science is a cut-throat business, where he has had ideas stolen from
him. Now that you have 500 Energy Crystals, feed the bum (if you don't
want to, that's okay too!). The bum will say he hasn't got anything
good to give you. But now, you can go past him and scale the wall. Go
to the right and enter the door. Inside the room, you will see a Cyber
Elf container. Break it open to get the Cyber Elf. Now, your best bet
is to try and feed some of the remaining Cyber Elves. Go to the Trans
Server and handle your business by feeding them. Then, head up to Ciel
to save your game and begin a new mission.
Talking to Ciel, you will be able to choose a mission. I'll be
choosing the FIND SHUTTLE mission.
MISSION START: FIND SHUTTLE
Ciel will say that some of the abducted Reploids had hijacked an enemy
transport plane and escaped. However, the plane seemed to disappear
over the desert. She says that they may have crash-landed and so she
sent her scouts to look into it. But the scouts are having a hard time
finding the shuttle because of the enemies. Your mission is to help
the scouts. Accept the mission.
Talking to the girl to your right, you will learn that the soldier is
missing. Go left, and watch out for enemies in sand. Ciel will then
come on and say that the aircraft has landed somewhere in the desert.
Go out and find. But watch out for buzzards that fly and attack you.
Continue going left and destroy any robots that get on your way. One
of the hidden robots in the sand should have a Cyber Elf in the very
beginning of the level. Collect the Elf and continue going left. Keep
going left and you will see a slope that goes downward. Go down, being
careful of the traps. Destroy the traps (so that you can get some more
experience with your weapons) or jump over them. Continue going left
until you see another downward slope. This time, the slope is moving,
pulling you in to the traps. Destroy the traps with your Z Saber and
watch out for the machine that is causing the sand to move. Destroy
that and the sand will stop moving. Continue left until you see some
ruins. Climb up top, watching out for the pieces that fall. Destroy
the buzzard flying up top to get a Cyber Elf. Down below, you will see
the same machine and traps you saw earlier. Destroy the traps and a
Cyber Elf will appear from one of them. Climb up and continue going
left. You will see a robot come out of the sand a buzzard flying
overhead. Destroy them and continue going left, destroying anything
that may get in your way. Continuing left will take you to the remains
of a helicopter. Continue going left until you see a tornado (yes, a
tornado) in front of you. Destroying the robot in the middle will
allow you to pass. Touching any part of the tornado will cause you to
get hurt. Once the tornado is over, continue left. You will
eventually see another tornado along with a few traps around it.
Destroy the machine in the middle of the tornado, then destroy the
traps. Continue left and you will see a guy floating in the air. He
will say that he is Anubis Necromancess the Third. He says that he
works for Fefnir, one of the Four Guardians. He claims that he is the
King of Destruction and ruler of the desert. He says that the Reploids
you seek are deep in the desert and that in order for you to get to
them, you must defeat him first. "En-garde, old-timer!"
WARNING: ANUBIS NECROMANCESS THE THIRD
Anubis is a rather tough boss. He floats around the entire battle. He
has a staff that reflects any shots you throw at him. YES, even
charged shots. He has 2 energy bars. One green, another yellow. His
staff also spins and hits you when he sends it out. Also, Anubis can
sink into the earth, and cause 2 walls with spikes at the top to close
in on you. Plus, he can resurrect Reploids out of the earth. Your
best bet is to use your Z Saber. Also, use your Buster Gun on the
ancient Reploids and on Anubis when he is flying closing to you. A
charged shot really won't help you, even if you do connect. Your best
bet is to just use the Z Saber. By about this time, the Buster Gun
should be leveling up to the Maximum. With enough patience, you will
defeat Anubis. After Anubis dies, you will see a Cyber Elf. Jump up
to get it and continue left. You will see a Reploid on the ground,
close to some kind of ship. Zero will ask if the Reploid is all right.
The Reploid replies that he is all right and thanks Zero for rescuing
him. Zero asks if he can walk. Stating that he can walk, Zero offers
to walk him back to the base. Ciel will then start talking, happy that
there is a survivor. She thanks Zero and says that she will have a
medic standing by. She also asks if you can escort the Reploid back to
the entry point. Right before you do however, go left. Climb up on
the aircraft and grab the energy capsule, then continue left to grab
the Continue Symbol at the very top let corner. Now, go back to the
soldier and escort him back to the entry point. Keep going right,
making sure that he soldier can keep up with you. Destroy anything
that may get in your way (traps, buzzards, etc.), and continue to the
entry point. If the soldier is attacked, he will scream. Make sure he
doesn't take a lot of damage. Escort him back to the entry point and
he will be happy that he was saved. The girl at the entry point will
say that Zero brought back a survivor and calls for a medic. Two
medics arrive and take the soldier into the base. MISSION COMPLETED.
Ciel then says that she is happy that they could save him and thanks
you.
You will return to the base, listening to Ciel thank you for saving
another Reploid. She then says that according to his report, the enemy
is conducting an attack on the Resistance Base. She says that if that
happens, that she will need Zero's help once again and thanks him for
his support.
Save your game and head down to the Trans Server and feed the Cyber
Elves. Then, go back to Ciel to resave your game and select a new
mission.
The next mission you will cover will be the RETRIEVE DATA Mission.
MISSION START: RETRIEVE DATA
Ciel will tell ask you about the place where you two first met. She
said then that they had to escape, however, that her research tells her
that there is some important information for Zero there. She says that
the enemies must be trying to get the data before you do. She wants
you to retrieve it before it's too late. Accept the mission.
Ciel will then tell you, once you arrive, that she is picking up
several energy readings from enemies. She declares that they must be
after your information. She warns you to be careful.
Go left and scale the wall until you reach the landing. Be careful of
the robots with the laser on the way up. Once you get past the first
one, jump to the other wall to get past the next one. Continue your
climb until you see a floating ball. Destroy that and get on the
landing. Continue going left, all the while avoiding the rotating
lasers, floating balls, spiders, roof cannons, and robots with those
spiked arms. After fighting your way through the level, you will
arrive at a shutter. Ciel will tell you that there is a huge energy
reading coming from that area. She warns you to stay alert. Continue
through the shutter doors. You will meet up with Maha Ganeshariff, who
is in charge of data processing and handling information. He says that
all the information you had has been stored in the server in his body.
He said that in order to get it, you must destroy him and download the
data from his memory. "Can you do it?"
WARNING: MAHA GANESHARIFF
This guy isn't the slimmest person in the world. He has some fancy
hand movement and he rolls around. He can also swing from the ceiling
and drop some type of bomb when he rolls around. His weak spot is his
head area. Using the Z Saber has an effect, however, it's risky to get
close to this behemoth. This boss has 2 health meters: green and
yellow. Your best bet is to have the Thunder Chip equipped and use the
charged shot of your Buster Gun to take him out. When he rolls up into
a ball, just dash jump over him, but watch out for the bombs that he
drop. Just wait for him to walk towards you and attack with a charged
shot. Once you defeat Maha, you will see a Cyber Elf. Grab it. Ciel
will then tell you that the self-destruct sequence for the lab has
started. Walls will then begin to fall down. You will see a Cyber
Elf, right where a wall fell, so leave it. Not only are the walls
falling, but there are also walls rising to block you in. Use your Z
Saber to destroy the walls. Keep going right until you can fall deep
down into that pit that leads to the Trans Server. Ciel will tell you
that she is sorry for dragging you into all of this and that she awaits
your arrival at the Resistance Base. MISSION COMPLETED. Use the Trans
Server to go to the Resistance Base and view your results.
Return to the Resistance Base and listen to Ciel. Ciel will say that
the data you retrieve is damaged and useless. But, she can get the
information restored about your weapons. She then says to go talk to
Cerveau.
Go to the Engine Room and talk to Cerveau. Cerveau will show you a
weapon. The weapon, called the Triple Rod, will allow you to attack in
any of the eight directions (North, East, South, West, Northeast,
Southeast, Southeast, and Northwest). Stating that it requires some
technique, Cerveau is pretty confident you can master it. And he gives
you the Triple Rod. Leave Cerveau and head up to the Trans Server.
Feed your Cyber Elves. Once you are finished feeding the Cyber Elves,
return to Ciel to save your game and start a new mission.
Once you save your game, talk to Ciel about the OCCUPY FACTORY Mission.
MISSION START: OCCUPY FACTORY
Ciel will tell you that the Base's energy supply is running out. She
says that if they could use the abandoned factory, then they could
generate energy. But, she says that the boss that is guarding the
factory is too strong for them to get control of the factory. Your
mission is to destroy the boss. Accept the mission.
Go right. Destroy any flying enemies that get in your way. You will
soon reach an area where there are some pipes hanging above you with
some sort of spinning top on one of them. Destroy the flying robot to
receive a Cyber Elf. For those who enjoy being adventurous, proceed
right. Ciel will tell you about the security system. If the sensors
see you, a shutter will close preventing you from getting deeper into
the factory. For the less adventurous (like myself), climb up the
pipes and continue to go left, then up. Continue to go up and watch
out for the floating balls. Continue to go right. You will soon reach
a wall that is white. Destroy it and then, destroy the fans. Continue
to go right to grab some Energy Crystal and a Retry. Continue to go
right and then destroy the fan and release the Cyber Elf. Grab the Elf
and continue to right. You will see a platform. Shoot the purple
sensor once to get the platform to go down. Grab the Energy Crystals
and ride the platform down. Destroy the spiders that you will
encounter and continue to go down. When you reach the bottom, go right
and climb up the ladder. You will then see a robot carrying something.
Jump on it and ride it all the way through. When you see other robots
carry something, jump on them. Watch out for the machines that have
some kind of laser at the tip. Don't get greedy, going for those
Energy Crystals at the top. Destroy the spiders you see to grab a
Cyber Elf. By about this time, your Z Saber should be getting ready to
level up to level 4, where you can now charge up your Z Saber to
perform a Triple Slash. Continue to go right until you see a ladder.
Go climb up the ladder. Go left and avoid the laser machines.
Continue to go left and jumping over the pits. Keep going left until
you reach another ladder. Climb the ladder and approach the shudder.
Enter the shudders and Ciel will tell you that there is a massive
energy signal coming from within. Stating that it must be the boss, a
rotating machine drops down to the floor. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: ELEMENTAL BOSS
This boss is rather difficult. He has several heads that appear that
can perform certain actions. The heads are color coordinated. Red
shoots fire, green shoots electricity, blue shoots ice, purple and
yellow just ram you. The boss floats all across the arena, so, your Z
Saber will be your most used weapon. During the battle, you may be
able to level up your Z Saber to level 5, where you can perform a
rotating slash attack. Anyway, you must attack the center of the boss
when the center is blue. Attacking the center at any other time will
result in you not causing any damage. Also, if you happen to destroy
one of the heads (it can be done), you have a little time on your hands
before the boss repairs itself. The boss has 3 health meters: white,
green, and yellow. After a very hard fought battle, you will defeat
the boss and you will see the Flame Chip. A soldier will report to you
that all the floors are secured. And Ciel will tell you that you must
collect the Flame Chip before returning to the base. Grab the chip.
MISSION COMPLETE.
When you return to the base, Ciel will tell you that they have gained
control of the factory. She says that they can now live without
worrying about retirement. She then thanks you and says that all of
this is a dream come true, stating that they feared they were doomed.
All of a sudden, the alarm sounds within the base. You then hear that
a giant Mechaniloid is approaching the base. They say that if someone
doesn't do something, it will destroy the base. Ciel then tells
everyone to guard the front door at all costs. She then tells you to
go around at attack it from behind. She says that doing this will buy
some time. She will give you the option of saving your game. Save the
game and begin the new mission.
MISISON START: RESISTANCE DEFENSE
Ciel will tell you that the giant Mechaniloid is ahead of you. She
tells you to stay sharp. Go left and scale the wall and continue to go
left. You realize that the place you are is where you faced Aztec
Falcon. Continue to go left. Zero will then stop, and a giant spiked
robot drops from the sky ahead of you. Ciel then says to you that
there must be a weak point, since it appears as though this Mechaniloid
is completely armored. Prepare yourself for battle.
WARNING: MECHANILOID
The Mechaniloid is no joke. This thing is packing some serious heat.
It is capable of launching missiles, tops that explode, and bat robots.
Your only hope of stopping this thing is to find a weak point. "Where
is that?" you might ask. Well, you must force one. The Mechaniloid
has no health meter, so you just have to pound on it until it is
destroyed. Destroy that spiked area right in front of you with the Z
Saber. After that, the Mechaniloid will send out missiles. Jump and
shoot the area where the Mechaniloid fires the missiles. While you are
doing this, Ciel will tell you that they are setting up a defense for
the Mechaniloid. As the Mechaniloid continues to get closer to the
base, Ciel will tell you that they can see the Mechaniloid. But, by
this time, you should be close to destroying it. Continue the strategy
to destroy the Mechaniloid. You will see a Cyber Elf floating around
upon the defeat of the Mechaniloid. Ciel will tell you that you did a
great job and that the base is safe. Grab the Cyber Elf and return to
the Base. MISSION COMPLETED.
Ciel will tell you that if you hadn't destroyed the Mechaniloid, it
would not have survived. She then thanks you and says that with your
help, peace may be restored. Save your game and go feed the Cyber
Elves. Once you feed the Cyber Elves, go down to Cerveau. He will
tell you that he created a new weapon for you. The Shield Boomerang
(Cerveau had just made that up) will block enemies shots and you can
attack with it if you charge it. However, you can't dash with it
equipped. Now, at this time, you should have the following: 1) a fully
leveled up Buster Gun, 2) a Z Saber up to at least level 4, 3) the
Triple Rod at level 1, 4) the Shield Boomerang at level 1, 5) a Thunder
and Flame Chip. Since the Buster Gun is fully leveled up, you can put
that weapon aside and have the Z Saber as your main weapon. Then you
can either equip the Triple Rod or the Shield Boomerang. Now, go back
to Ciel and save your game and select a new mission.
The next mission that will be covered will be the FIND HIDDEN BASE
mission.
MISSION START: FIND HIDDEN BASE
Ciel will tell you that they have received information that there is a
hidden base somewhere in the desert and that there are Reploids are
being held hostage there. However, they can't find the base. She
wants to find the base and save the Reploids. So, she asks you to go
out and look for the hidden base. Accept the mission.
Ciel then says that she is counting on you. Now, go left. Take out
all the enemies that stand in your way. Watch out for the camel robot.
It can shoot out fire. Have the Shield Boomerang equipped with the
Thunder Chip equipped and charge it up so that you can throw it at the
camel. With it stunned, you will be able to attack it directly.
Continue to go left. You will see a robot that is causing the sand to
move. Destroy it and slide down the left wall. When you slide down,
you will fall into a secret passage, where you must jump around to get
to the contained Cyber Elf down in the corner. Once you get the Cyber
Elf, go back up and head right. When you get to the other side, Ciel
will tell you that there is a trap (the 2 lasers). She then tells yo
to wait. She then says that she will disarm it. She then tells you
that you can proceed. Go right. There are spiked floors and roofs in
this next area, so dash and jump over the spikes that you first see.
Then, slide down the walls until you can safely jump past the spiked
floors, but be careful that you don't jump too high and hit the spiked
roofs either. Once you reach the bottom go left and destroy the
enemies that you may see. Now, soon, you will approach an area where
there is a spiked rock formation. Attack it with your Z Saber. This
will enable you to jump on top of the flat area and avoid the spinning
spike tops down at the bottom. Continue to go left and follow the same
strategy to safely make it to the other side. Continue to go left and
destroy any enemies that may appear. You will then see a spiked floor.
Attack the spiked rock formations to safely make it across to the other
side. While crossing, attack any enemies that you may see. Continue
to go left and you will see that the floor is ice. Destroy the turtle
enemies and continue to go left. You will see a ladder. Climb up the
ladder and watch out for the floating balls. Continue to go up to the
top. Then, go right and go up that ladder. Go to the right and Ciel
will tell you that she can unlock the door. Then, go right through the
door and continue to head up the ladder. Go to the right and go down
the ladder to see a Reploid, trapped in a cell. Attack the cell door
and she will tell you that there are still 6 other Reploids being
detained. She then says that they are going to hijack a shuttle and
escape. Climb back up the ladder and go left. Keep going left until
you see a ladder going down. Take this ladder to get to the next
Reploid. Release him. Now, go right and go up the ladder. Then, go
left. Continue to go left until you see a ladder going up. Take this
ladder and go right until you see a door. Ciel will tell you that the
door is being very well protected and she can't open it. Go back to
the left. Continue left until you see X clones with sensors coming out
of their eyes. These sensors alert the entire base where you are, so
take them out quickly. This will also bring out guards that have
armor. Destroy the first X robot that you see and go left, then climb
up the ladder. Destroy the door holding the Reploid. 3 down, 4 to go.
When you go down, chances are, you will be surrounded. Ciel will then
ask you if you were caught and if you are alright. Go down the ladder
and you will see the 4th Reploid being detained. If you were found,
wait until the alarm quiets down and release the Reploid. Go up the
ladder, then, go left and up the ladder. You will see the 5th Reploid.
Go down the ladder and avoid the ladder going down. Instead, continue
to go left until you see another ladder going down. Take this ladder
down and go left. You will then see the 6th Reploid. Go back the way
you came and go up the ladder. Go left and climb up the ladder. The
final Reploid is here. Release her and go back down. Go left and you
will see all 7 Reploids together. Then, the Reploids will tell you
that the battle isn't over yet, since a boss is protecting the shuttle.
Go left into the shudder and continue through the second shutter. You
will then see this guy with icicles sticking out of his head.
Acknowledging that you are Zero, he compliments you on your coming so
far. Declaring that your journey ends with him, he tells you who he
is; Blizzack Staggroff, the best warrior of Leviathan the Guardian. He
says you won't beat him. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: BLIZZACK STAGGROFF
This guy is somewhat of a pushover, IF you are properly equipped. With
the Flame Chip in your possession, equip it and this will power up any
weapons you may have. Blizzack likes to jump and release cold drafts
at you, causing you to get frozen. This then allows him to jump again
and cause you to get hit with another draft, which injures you. He
also has an attack where he releases a very strong gust of wind that
shoots out snowflakes that can cling to your body slowing you down.
This then gives him an opportunity to attack you. To shake off the
snowflakes, move around a lot (using the Z Saber also helps to shake
off the snowflakes). He also can shoot out the icicles out of his
head. Charging up your weapon is ideal because then, you'll get the
effect of the Flame Chip, causing all of your weapons to project fire
(his weakness). Your Z Saber is quite handy, since he leaves himself
open all the time. If your weapon connects with him when it is
charged, he will lose the icicles sticking out of his head, leaving him
vulnerable to attack. Blizzack has 2 energy bars: green and yellow.
Continue the strategy and you will defeat Blizzack. Zero will then
tell the base that he is returning with the prisoners. Ciel will then
tell you that you must grab the Ice Chip and that she looks forward to
your return. MISSION COMPLETED.
Ciel will tell you once you return that seven Reploids were saved
because of you. Stating that she cannot thank you enough, she also
tells you about her "experiment" is going fine so far. She says that
once they have developed a substitute energy, they will find a place to
live a happy life. She then tells you about Neo Arcadia, a type of
heaven for Reploids. She then asks if you will join them if that
happens. Save your game and then feed the Cyber Elves. Once you feed
the Cyber Elves, go, save again, and begin a new mission.
The next mission that will be covered will be the SAVE COLBOR mission.
MISSION START: SAVE COLBOR
Ciel will tell you that a comrade named Colbor has found a way inside
the enemy base through the subway. However, they have lost all contact
with him. Your mission is to look for him. Accept the mission.
When you arrive in the subway, Ciel will tell you that there has been
increased enemy activity. She says that Colbor and his team may have
been taken hostage. Start the mission by going left and jumping on the
platform. Go through the door to collect a few Energy Crystals and a
Cyber Elf. Then, go back through the door and head right. Continue to
head right. Equip the Shield Boomerang and keep going right. Watch
out for flying robots, robots with missiles, and turtle robots that
shoot missiles. Also, watch out for X clones. Watch out for floors
that fall. Go down the ladders that you will eventually come across to
gain access to a Retry and a few Health Crystals. Destroying one of
the flying robots gives you a Cyber Elf. Continue to go right until
you see floating platforms that go up and down. Enemies will be on
them, so have your Shield Boomerang and you Z Saber (which should be at
level 5) handy. Once you make it to level ground again, keep right.
You will notice several Reploids on the ground. It appears as though
all of them are dead. Continue right and you will notice one Reploid
standing next to a strange looking character. The Reploid is trembling
in fear as Zero screams "Run! Now!" The Reploid then recognizes you
and runs towards you. With the Reploid out of the way, the funny
looking guy starts talking to you. The guy is Harpuia, one of the 4
Guardians that protect Master X. He declares that your actions are
foolish, since you decide to side with "Mavericks". He also declares
that you shall repent and atone for your sins. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: HARPUIA THE GUARDIAN
Harpuia is NO JOKE! If you thought the Mechaniloid was tough, then
you'll think this guy is damn near impossible. Because he is a
Guardian, he is not going to take damage any natural way. You have to
wait for an opening. Harpuia has 3 Health Meters: white, green, and
yellow. Harpuia's attacks are as follows: slashing at you, grabbing
you and slamming you into the ground, and sending out little robots
that can slash at you. Your openings are when Harpuia flies in the air
to do a midair slash, and when he sends out the little robots. Attack
using the Z Saber. Harpuia is also weak to the Ice Element, so equip
the Ice Chip, then charge your weapons every chance you get and attack.
Dodge his attacks and you will be able to defeat him. Harpuia then
acknowledges your greatness, stating that he underestimated you. He
then says that he looks forward to a rematch and that he will retire
you next time. He then disappears and a Cyber Elf is all that remains.
Grab the Cyber Elf and return to the base. MISSION COMPLETE.
Upon your return to the Base, Ciel will say to you that she is thankful
that you saved Colbor. Now, save your game and go feed the Cyber
Elves. Then, go back to Ciel. Save your game and select a new
mission.
The next mission that will be covered will be the DUEL IN DESERT
mission.
MISSION START: DUEL IN DESERT
Ciel will tell you that enemies are assembling in the desert. She says
that they have not yet begun to attack, but a large-scale attack is to
be expected. She is worried that all of her comrades' efforts of
building barricades and preparing are not enough. Your mission is to
help the other Reploids in the desert. Accept the mission.
You are standing out in the desert with a small militia when Ciel tells
you that there is a problem. She tells you that the enemy is coming at
you in large numbers. A guard then says that they will hold their own
at the last line at all costs. He then says that you should go and
attack the main part of the attack. Ciel then tells you that the main
attack force is coming and she wants you to take care of them. Go left
and begin to attack all the enemies that you see. Watch out for the
camel robots. Continue to go left past the sand area where the secret
base was. Destroying the camel robot will allow you to collect a Cyber
Elf. Continue to go left, and continue to take out the enemies that
get in your way. Watch out for the traps and continue to go left. As
you continue your fight left, you will encounter some tank like robots.
Destroying one of them releases a Cyber Elf. Keep going left, taking
out all of the enemies in front of you. Ciel will then tell you that
their reinforcements are coming in. Destroy all the troops that come
out of the transport vehicle and proceed left. Ciel will then tell you
that the transport chopper is approaching very quickly. You then see
the chopper arrive. And when it gets there, someone jumps out of it.
He says that he heard a rumor that there is a highly skilled Reploid in
the Resistance. He says that he never expected you to be this good
though. He says that he is excited because you are very skilled. He
then tells you that he is Fefnir, one of the four Guardians of X. He
says not to let him down. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: FEFNIR THE GAUARDIAN
Fefnir isn't like Harpuia at all. While he is a Guardian, he takes
damage just like any other boss. Fefnir's attacks are charging up his
hand and ramming it into the ground, causing shockwaves to occur. He
also has the ability to charge up and fire flames from his gun-arm. He
also has a slamming ability, just like Harpuia. He can also shoot fire
out of his arm without charging up. When Fefnir charges up, the
intensity of his attacks goes up. Fefnir has 3 Health Meters: white,
green, and yellow. His weakness is the element of Electricity, so
equip the Thunder Chip. Avoid his attacks and attack when you see an
opening. When he is defeated, he will say that he has never been so
excited. He says that he will allow you to live a little while longer.
And right before he disappears, he doesn't want you to lose so that you
two can have a rematch. He then disappears and a Cyber Elf remains.
Grab the Cyber Elf and you will return to the base. MISSION COMPLETED.
Upon your arrival back to the base, Ciel will tell you that if the
defense line had been broken, the Base wouldn't have survived. She
can't believe that you destroyed so many enemies and acknowledges that
you are a legendary hero. Save your game and feed the Cyber Elves.
Once you feed the Cyber Elves, go back to Ciel, save your game, and
begin another mission.
The next mission that will be covered will be the PROTECT FACTORY
mission.
MISSION START: PROTECT FACTORY
Ciel will say that thanks to you, they have gained control of the
factory. However, she believes that they can't hold on to it forever.
Your mission is to check on the factory. Accept the mission.
When you arrive, Ciel will tell you that it is awkward that the watches
are missing. Go right and Zero will jump out of the way of some flying
objects. Suddenly, a mysterious person drops out of the sky. He then
says that you have been doing well and that he is Phantom, one of the
four Guardians of X. He says that every generation has a legend, but
that a lost legend should stay lost. He then says that he will show
you why.
WARNING: PHANTOM THE GUARDIAN
Whoa. Phantom is fast. He has a Saber, just like you. He has the
ability to project several images of himself. Attacking an image
leaves you open to an attack from above. Phantom also has a weapon
that is like your Boomerang, and he can ride on top of it. While
riding on his Boomerang, he can drop little objects that can harm you.
And when he jumps off of it, he uses his Saber to stab you in the head.
He has 3 Health Meters: white, green, and yellow. The Elemental Chips
do not affect him, so it doesn't matter if you equip them. Your Z
Saber will be effective in this battle. Look for an opening and
attack. This battle is just like fighting yourself, so you know what
to look out for. When you have damaged him enough, he will say that
him losing cannot be true. He says that he some "surprises" for you.
He states that the bombs he placed all throughout the factory will
explode at any minute. And he says that the factory will be smashed to
nothing. He ends by saying that your legacy will come to an end with a
bang, not a whimper. He then disappears and a Cyber Elf is all that is
left. You are then being timed. Quickly go to the right. Ciel will
tell you that there is not enough time before the bombs go off. She
then tells you to evacuate the factory. Continue to go right. Watch
out for the watchdogs and take them out. When you get to the area to
the right, Ciel will ask you if you will deactivate the bombs.
Obviously! She then says that she will help you find them all. She is
picking up 8 readings of the bombs. She then says that you don't have
to do this. Go right and take out the tank robots and climb up the
ladder to the right. Go up and then go left. Go up the ladder and go
right. Ciel will tell you that to deactivate the bomb (1), you need to
slash it with the Z Saber, then touch it and collect it. You will then
see the first bomb. Do what she told you and grab it. Ciel will then
tell you that 7 bombs remain. Go right and you will see the
transporter. Touch the purple sensor and it will go down. To your
right, you will see the bomb (2). Take it out and continue to go down
to the left. Take out that bomb (3) and go right, then climb the
ladder. Ride on of the robots carrying wood those items and you will
eventually see another bomb (4). Take out the enemy guarding it and
then get the bomb. Be careful about going back down. Close by, there
is another laser with a Cyber Elf between several enemies and lasers.
Scale the wall and get the bomb (5). Get the Cyber Elf by attacking
the container and grabbing it. Be careful going down. Once you go
down, go right. The next bomb is very high up. To get it, go past the
area of bomb 5 and go right. You will see a laser between 2 pillars.
Get past the laser and scale the last pillar. Go left to get the bomb
(6). By now, your Z Saber should be preparing to level up to level 6,
where you can charge up your Z Saber in less time. Continue through
the level like you did the first time. Go all the way to the right and
climb up the ladder. Watch out for the lasers and go left. After the
2nd laser, you must scale a wall. A bomb (7) is up there. Now, go back
down and go left. Continue to go left like you would when you came
here the first time. When you get to the ladder, scale down the wall
to grab a Cyber Elf. Then, scale back up the wall and climb the ladder
and get the bomb (8). Once you collect the last bomb, Ciel will tell
you that all the bombs have been deactivated and is glad that you're
fine. She says that she looks forward to your safe return. MISSION
COMPLETED.
When you return to the base, she will apologize for constantly risking
your life. No problems, huh? She is feeling somewhat depressed, but
she says she will create a substitute energy. She says if she found a
substitute energy, they could live in peace in a quiet place. She says
that until that day comes, she hopes she has your support. Now, save
your game and feed the Cyber Elves. Once you feed the Cyber Elves, go
back to Ciel, save your game, and begin a new mission.
The next mission you will cover is the STOP THE HACKING Mission.
MISSION START: STOP THE HACKING
Ciel will brief you that several hackers have attacked the server for
the Resistance Base. She says that the hackers are in a secret area
under the desert. She says that if something isn't done, there may be
some problems generating the new energy. Your mission is to sneak into
the base and destroy the main computer. Accept the mission.
Ciel will ask you if you remember where the entrance is and wish you
luck. Go left towards the area of the entrance to the secret base in
the earlier mission. Take out the enemies in front of you as you
continue going left. You'll eventually see the entrance to the secret
base. Ciel will stop the trap for you and continue like you did in the
earlier mission. You'll see that all that you did in the earlier
mission is still in place. Watch out for the floating balls and
proceed left. However, the floor that was ice has now melted into
water. Slide down the walls, since spikes await you down at the bottom
in some areas. Destroy the enemies that may get in your way. Jumping
in the water allows you to float much longer. Eventually, one of the
spiked robots will yield a Cyber Elf. Continue to go left. Watch out
for the boat that is floating in the water. It rises and sinks (just
like a REAL boat) so watch yourself, or you'll get crushed. Look for
particular areas where you know the boat can't get you. Make your way
left, taking out any enemies in front of you and drop down below to
collect some Energy Crystals and some energy for your Health Meter.
You will see after scaling the wall that the boat comes to an end, so,
scale the other side of the wall. At the bottom (be careful, there is
a pit, just scale down), you will see a contained Cyber Elf. Release
it and grab it. Now, climb back up and get on the boat. Go to the
highest point of the boat (it has antennas and it THE highest point of
the point of the boat) and wait for the boat to rise. Watch out for
missiles that the boat fires and explodes. Anyway, wait at the high
point of the boat until you see a pillar coming down towards you. Jump
up and scale the inside of the pillar. You must then jump to the other
side. Hold the dash button and jump button to do a dash jump and make
it to the other side. There you will see Energy Crystals and a
contained Cyber Elf. Release the Cyber Elf and grab it. Next dash and
jump across. You will land on another boat. Go to this boat's highest
point and scale the wall up to get a Retry. Go back down and go right.
You will see the ladder. Climb up the ladder (at last!) and go right.
Climb up the next ladder and go right. Ciel will open the door for
you. She then tells you to find the computer room and destroy
everything that's there. Go right, then up the ladder, and then go
left. Destroy anything that's in your way and climb up the first
ladder you see. Go right, taking out anything you see. You will see a
door and Ciel will tell you that she can't do anything from her
computer except unlock the door. Go through the door and attack the
computer area under the ladder. Ciel will tell you that the hacker's
attempts at hacking into the Resistance's server have been weakened.
Continue up the ladder and keep destroying the parts of the computer.
What shows up out of the destroyed computers are Energy Crystals at the
bottom level, Retries at the middle level, and Cyber Elves at the
highest level. Ciel will tell you that the hacking has stopped
entirely. She then says that she awaits your arrival back to the base.
Now, remember where all those captured Reploids were in that earlier
mission? Well, going back to some of their cells will have a nice
surprise for you. Either enemies, or Cyber Elves. Search each cell
and then go back to the area with the boat. Ciel will warn you to be
careful once you enter the water. She says that she has a massive
energy reading coming towards you. Jump over the spikes and Zero will
see someone approaching him. The person will then come to you and tell
you that she is Leviathan, one of the four Guardians of X. She says
that after hearing so much about you from the "pretty kid" and "combat
nerd", she's been dying to meet you. She then says that she can't wait
to see their faces when she tells them that she is the one that retired
you. She then closes by saying not to hold back, just because she's a
woman. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: LEVIATHAN THE GUARDIAN
Leviathan's battle is somewhat unfair. First off, there is a spiked
floor in the battlefield. You know what happens if you land there.
Leviathan's attacks consist of her throwing spears at you from her
staff, making ice particles attack you, and setting up ice crystals to
surround you to attack you. You can attack the ice crystals when the
come at you with your weapons. Leviathan has 3 energy Meters: white,
green, and yellow. Because Leviathan is an Ice Elemental boss, you
want to equip the Flame Chip and charge up your weapon. Your Z Saber
is essential here. Using it will truly help you. Hopefully, it's at
level 6, because it allows you to charge up your Z Saber much faster.
Just charge up and watch out for her attacks, and she'll be done in no
time. At the end of the battle, she will ask you why didn't you
terminate her and if you are showing her mercy. She then says that
that was rude of you to hold back, after asking you to give her your
all, and that the next time you two meet, you better give her your
best. She then leaves. Ciel then tells you that you did good work. A
Cyber Elf will then drop down towards you. Grab it, and return to the
base. MISSION COMPLETE.
When you return to the Resistance Base, Ciel will tell you that the
hacking has stopped thanks to you and that she will continue to find a
substitute energy. She then says that all Reploids are counting on you
guys. Once your conversation ends, you hear the signal in the
Resistance Base. You then learn from a soldier that the enemy is
attacking the base and that the base's defenses can't hold out much
longer. You will then see an image of what is going on in the battle.
The soldier then says that the main gate will be overrun at any minute.
Ciel then says that everyone must evacuate, with the elderly and
children being top priority. She then says that you too should
evacuate, and she thanks you for all that you have done for the
Resistance. Zero then says to Ciel that she should go to her
evacuation transport. Ciel then says that it's her fault. Zero then
asks about it being her fault. She then tells you that the world has
gotten out of control, and that it's all because of Neo Arcadia. She
then describes what "Extreme Justice" is; peace obtained through force.
She then says that Reploids were being sacrificed to keep humans happy.
She then tells you that she is the one who created Neo Arcadia and that
it was her who brought back X. Zero thens asks what she meant when she
said "regenerated". He then asks if she resurrected X the same way she
resurrected him. She tells you that there is a difference. She then
says that you are an original, brought back from what you once were.
However, she can't fully describe what X was until the building shakes
and she tells you that you should leave. She then sys that you should
help everyone leave the Base. She then asks you if you want to save
your mission before you start to evacuate. Select yes. And then begin
the mission.
MISSION START: EVACUATE RESISTANCE BASE
Once you leave the data room, someone will tell you that the Engine
room has been taken over by the enemy. They then say that since the
elevator doesn't work, the people on the upper floors can't escape.
They then tell you that you must get rid of the enemies in the engine
room. Take out any enemies that you see and go check on Cerveau.
There are three enemies in the room. Destroy them and Cerveau will
tell you that he will turn on the elevator. He then turns it on and a
soldier tells you that the Enemy Commander is attempting to get to the
Energy Crystal storage. Get over there. Go up to the first floor and
then go left. Take out the enemies that you may see and go down the
ladder. Go left enter the door. You will then see this guy standing
in the corner. He says that he has heard a lot about you and that you
must be Zero, the legendary Reploid. He then tries to get on you by
saying the old and out of date Reploid. He then says that he is
Hanumachine, the top apprentice of Phantom the Guardian. He then says
that he will retire you for the glory of the Stealth Unit. "En-garde!"
WARNING: HANUMACHINE
Hanumachine is rather odd. Possessing the abilities of a monkey, he
has the following attacks: surrounding himself in fire and bouncing
around the room, making several clones of himself appear, and spinning
around in the air so that his tail throws fire at you. Hanumachine is
weak to the Thunder Element, so equip the Thunder Chip. Charge up your
weapons and attack. Hanumachine has 2 Health Meters: green and yellow.
Destroying some of the clones will allow you to get a Cyber Elf. Avoid
and attack this annoying monkey and the battle will be over. Grab the
Cyber Elf that remains. MISSION COMPLETE.
You then appear in front of Ciel with a soldier behind you. Ciel then
says that you saved them once again. She then says that as long as X
exist, someday, and then she fades out. Zero then asks her if she
would be happy if X no longer existed. He then says that he will take
care of that problem. HE just needs to know where X is. Ciel then
tells you that you can go straight to the core of the enemy base
through the Trans Server. But, she says that they haven't cracked the
security of their Trans Server. The soldier behind you says that
without the Trans Server, it would be hard for you to get to the enemy
base. And he is worried that if Zero is away from the base too long,
something might happen to them. Just then, something falls in the
center of the room. It's some sort of fairy. It tells you that it has
cracked the security of the enemy's Trans Server. It then apologizes
that it took so long. It then says that you can enter Neo Arcadia any
time you want to now. Zero then recognizes who the fairy is. It's the
same one that gave him the Z Saber. The fairy then says that you must
go and terminate that copy of it. And that you should terminate it
with "extreme prejudice". Ciel then asks who the fairy is. And then
she says that something isn't possible. Zero then asks if the fairy
said that he could use the Trans Server. The soldier then said that
that's what the fairy said. Zero then says that he is leaving and he
wishes them to take care. Ciel then asks you if you want to save your
data before starting. Save your data and prepare for the next mission.
MISSION START: NEO ARCADIA (SHRINE)
Go to the Trans Server. Feed the Cyber Elves and change the area to
the Neo Arcadia Shrine. When you reach Neo Arcadia, go left and then
go right. A wall will open up for you. Continue to go right, taking
out any enemies that you see. You will soon reach another wall. Go
through it, and you will see the rotating lasers. Carefully make your
way across the room of rotating lasers and head for the wall. The wall
will rise to let you go to the next area. Go all the way to the right
until you see a transporter. It isn't moving. However, if you attack
it, it will move up and down, allowing you to jump on the other
transporters. Make your way to the left to get on another transporter
that isn't moving. Attack it and move it left. Then, jump to the
building to the left. Two Cyber Elves are in containers. Release them
and go back down. Repeat the process of the transporters until you see
the transporter that goes up and down. Go on the transporter going up
and go left at the landing. Continue left and a wall will rise for
you. When you enter the new area, you will see a spiked floor. There
are two landings hanging in midair. Also there are 2 black statues in
the area. Get on the second landing and the two statues will begin to
move. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: STATUE WARRIORS
When the statues fully come out, you will see that they are the same
kind of flying enemies that you fought in previous missions. However,
these cats don't die with one hit. Watch out for multiple energy shots
coming at you. Equip the Shield Boomerang to reflect them back at
them. Attack them when you see an opening. However, they are much
faster than your normal flying robots, so be careful when attacking, or
else you will fall on the spiked floor. Destroy them to get a Cyber
Elf.
Continue to go left. You will hear shots being fired from flying
enemies. Take them out and go left. When you reach the farthest left,
climb up on the rock formations. Take out any enemies that may
approach you and continue going up. Once you reach another landing, go
right. Enter the rising wall and you will see a guard blocking your
path. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: MULTI-ARMED GUARD
This guard has several arms, each with a sword equipped. It has two
Health Meters: green and yellow. Watch out for it when it jumps and
especially watch out for when it begins to spin its body around. This
allows it to move across the room very fast and damage you if you are
in the path. It can throw its swords at you and slash at you when it
jumps. It is weak to the Thunder Element, so equip the Thunder Chip.
Take it out quickly to gain access to the next area. And grab the
Cyber Elf that it releases.
Go right. Defeat any enemies that get in your way. You will
eventually see some rocks appear out of no where that shoots energy
blasts at you. Continue right until you see a turtle robot close to a
pit. Then, jump up on the rock that appears and continue to jump on
the rocks that appear. You will eventually reach a landing. Get on
the landing and continue to jump on the rocks. Going right will allow
you to get some Energy Crystals, some Health Crystals, and a Retry.
Now go back left. Follow the same process going left like you did
going right. Now, you will reach a landing where there is a landing
above you. Go up by jumping on the rocks and scale the landing's wall
to get up to the landing. Go through the shudders. You will see a
strange character standing before you. He then tells you that you are
trespassing on the sanctuary of X. He then says that his name is
Herculious Anchortus and that he will eliminate you in the name of
Harpuia the Guardian. He then says that you should view your
retirement by his sword an honor. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: HERCULIOUS ANCHORTUS
Herculious is a tough boss. He can shoot energy balls at you from his
antennae, charge at you, and shoot even more energy at you from his
antennae. If he attacks at you with some energy grappler that stays to
the ground and has an energy trail, he is going to charge at you if you
are in that vicinity. But this attack only works when you are close to
the corner. Your Z Saber will come in very handy here. He is weak to
the Ice Element, so equip the Ice Chip and charge your weapon. He has
two Health Meters: green and yellow. Avoid his attacks and look for
your opening to win the battle. Grab the Cyber Elf that is left behind
and go right through the shudders. You will see a door. When you get
close top the door, Ciel will tell you that you should come back to the
base to get a rest. Go to through the door and use the Trans Server to
return to the base. MISSION COMPLETED.
Ciel then asks you not to push yourself too hard. She can't bare the
thought of what may happen if you do. Save your game and begin a new
mission.
MISSION START: NEO ARCADIA (TOWER)
Ciel will ask you to please return to her alive. Accept the mission.
When you reach the Neo Arcadia Tower, go left until you go through a
door. Then, you will see another door. Go in the door and get on the
Trans Server. Select the DOWNLOAD ELF option. Hopefully, you have
Totten leveled up, because if you don't, you'll have a hard time going
up the tower on your hands. Once you have Totten, go back out the door
and head right. Then, continue to go right until you see a large
elevator. Get on it to begin your trek up the tower. Defeat the
enemies that you encounter as you go up. The elevator will stop on a
level with an X clone and a flying robot. Get off the elevator and
take out the enemies. Watch out for the spiked roof above you though.
Scale the right hand wall and defeat the X clone. Now, here is where
the Cyber Elf Totten comes in. Use Totten. Remember earlier how Ciel
told you that Totten had an ability that would truly help you later on?
This would be that time. Totten transforms all the spikes that are in
a level into floors you can step on. However, just like the other
Cyber Elves, Totten will die. Also, you will drop in rank for using
this Cyber Elf, but better you drop in rank and get through the level
than keep your pride and DIE CONSTANTLY! Now, jump on the conveyor
transport. Take out the enemies you will encounter. One of them is
guarding a Cyber Elf container. Destroy the X clone and release the
Elf and grab it. Now, continue upward. Since Totten has taken out all
of the spikes, you can pretty much scale the walls going upward. For
those of you who did not use Totten, POWER TO YOU! But seriously, if
you didn't want to use Totten, just be careful going up. Take your
time and be patient with it. Many of the spikes are placed in places
where you won't get hit if you jump carefully. Timing is also
everything, as you will find yourself riding the conveyor transports
looking for a good time to jump on the next one. Now, if you did or
did not use Totten, continue going up until you reach a point where
there are robots riding up and down the walls. Take them out and wait
for the conveyor transports to connect to get to the next level up. On
this level, you will see some boxes that can shock you (somewhat
resembling a taser). You can scale these boxes. But be careful for
the spikes (all you non-Totten players). Continue to make your way up,
avoiding the spikes, taking out enemies, and the taser part of the
boxes and you will soon reach the shudders that leads to the boss. Go
through the shudders. You will then see some slime like creature.
Zero says that whatever it is, it is too big to be a slug. He then
tells it to get lost. The creature then shapes itself into shape.
Prepare for battle.
WARNING: LIQUIFIED X CLONE
This thing changes colors. Some of its attacks consist of: sending
little globs at you, jumping around the room, and wrapping you up like
a snake if you get too close to it. Just avoiding the globs by scaling
the wall will help and moving out of the way when it jumps around will
help you greatly. Attacking the creature when it is jumping around the
room causes it to split into other pieces. These pieces will then
reform on the ground while its head continues to move around. They
also attack you, so watch out. This guy has 3 Health Meters: white,
green, and yellow. It is not weak to any of the Elements, so don't
bother with them. However, charging your weapon does have an effect.
With enough patience, you will beat this thing in no time. It will
then evaporate and a Cyber Elf will be all that's left. Grab the Cyber
Elf and continue through the shudder. You will see Ciel on the other
side. MISSION COMPLETE.
Zero then asks what made Ciel come to Neo Arcadia. She then says that
it is she that recreated a duplication of X and that's why she's there.
Zero then tells her it's not her fault. He tells her that she thought
recreating X would bring good, but that she should leave everything to
him. She then thanks you. Save your game and prepare for the next
mission.
MISSION START: NEO ARCADIA (CORE)
Ciel will tell you that even if you cannot destroy Neo Arcadia, she
just wants you to return safely to her. Accept the mission. Go right.
Take out any enemies that you see. Keep going right and you will see a
purple shudder. Go through it and go through the second one. You will
now be in a room with 4 doors: 2 at the top, 2 at the bottom. Go to
the top left door and enter it. You will see Anubis Necromancess the
Third. He then says that everything returns to the soil in the end and
that it is time for you to do so. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: REMATCH WITH ANUBIS NECROMANCESS THE THIRD
You know the drill. Take this cat out with the Z Saber. If you charge
up your Z Saber with the Flame Chip equipped, you will take out his
Health Meter very quickly. Repeat what you did in the first battle to
permanently send Anubis back to the soil.
You will find yourself outside. Grab the Health Crystals and go to the
upper right door and enter it. You will meet up with Blizzack
Staggroff. Calling you outdated Reploid garbage, he'll say that you
should have stayed at your place of rest. He closes by saying that his
blizzard will make you wish you did and he says that it's time for you
to go back to sleep. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: REMATCH WITH BLIZZACK STAGGROFF
You know how to do this one. Equip the Flame Chip, charge up the
weapon of your choice, and attack. Blizzack gives you so many
openings, it's ridiculous. Take him out quickly to send Blizzack to an
eternal slumber.
Once you're outside, grab the Health Crystals and enter the bottom left
door. You will see Herculious Anchortus. He will say that he still
can't believe that you defeated him. He thinks it's a disgrace and
that he must redeem himself by terminating you. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: REMATCH WITH HERCULIOUS ANCHORTUS
Did you NOT just get finish beating this guy? Equip the Ice Chip and
do what you did in the first battle. Take him out quickly to
permanently terminate Herculious.
Once your outside, grab the Health Crystals and go to the very last
door. Maha Ganeshariff will be there. He tells you that he has fully
analyzed all of your strategies, and he wants to show you what he has
learned. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: REMATCH WITH MAHA GANESHARIFF
Come on! This guy? Of all the people you fought, this guy? Equip the
Thunder Chip and watch out for his attacks. Take him out quickly to
teach him his final lesson.
You'll be outside once again. Grab the Health Crystals and go through
the shudder at your right. Continue through the next shudder and go
right, taking out all the enemies that you may see. Go down and
continue going right. You will soon reach a wall to your right. Scale
the wall and take out the enemies waiting for you and go up. Going
left through the shudder gets you a Retry and a Health Crystal,
however, you must go all the way back around and fight those same
enemies over again. Going through the right shudder will take you to
the next shudder that leads you to another room with 4 doors, just like
in the room earlier. Go to the top left door and enter it. Harpuia
the Guardian awaits you. He declares that Neo Arcadia is not a place
for someone like you. He closes by saying that you will regret coming
to Neo Arcadia. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: REMATCH WITH HARPUIA THE GUARDIAN
Man, you know how hard this battle was. Equip the Ice Chip and look
for the usual openings. When you defeat him, Harpuia will then say he
will never forget this and disappear.
Once you get outside, grab the Health Crystals and go to the top right
door and enter it. You will see Fefnir the Guardian. He says that he
has been expecting you and that you have kept him waiting for so long,
that he doesn't want you to give up too easily. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: REMATCH WITH FEFNIR THE GUARDIAN
You know what to do. Equip the Thunder Chip and look for the openings.
When you defeat him, Fefnir will say that he will let you live longer
and disappears.
Once you get outside, grab the Health Crystals and go to the bottom
left door and enter it. You'll meet up with Phantom the Guardian. He
says that no one shall disgrace X and that your termination will
commence now. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: REMATCH WITH PHANTOM THE GUARDIAN
Man. This Guardian was tough. Since he isn't weak to the Elemental
Chips, all you can do is charge up your weapon. Take your time in this
battle. Just wait for him to single himself out with his clones and
attack him. Watch out for the usual stuff and this battle will soon be
over. When you beat him, he will say that it is impossible that you
beat him. He then says that he will not allow you to reach X. He
declares that he will take you with him. He then screams and prepares
to blow up. Move out of the way and watch him die.
Now, grab the Crystals and go through the last door. Leviathan the
Guardian is waiting for you. She says that she has been looking
forward to "playing" with you again. She says that you have no chance
to win this time. Prepare for battle.
WARNING: REMATCH WITH LEVIATHAN THE GUARDIAN
Not too difficult. Just equip the Flame Chip and look for her
openings. It you used Totten, the spiked floors will no longer be
there. If you didn't, they will. The battle will soon be over if
you're careful. Leviathan will then say that she accepts her defeat.
She says that she is happy that she met someone who could defeat her
and that she is happy that she met a Reploid like you. She also says
that she will terminate you personally, someday. She then disappears.
Once again, you are outside. Grab the Crystals and go through the
right shudder. Continue on past the next shudder. Go right, taking
out all the enemies you encounter. Scale the wall when you can no
longer go right and continue to destroy the enemies. Go right once you
scaled the wall and drop down to get to the shudder. Go through the
next shudder to enter a large room. Zero will sense something and you
will see Harpuia. Harpuia tells you to stop. Then, Fefnir appears.
He says he won't allow you to go any farther. Leviathan then enters
and tells you to give up. But then, X appears and tells all three of
them to stop. X then says that the three of them are no match for Zero
and tells them all to leave. The three Guardians, despite how they
feel, does what X say. X then says that he finally gets to meet Zero
and has been looking forward to this moment. Zero then says that you
must be the pirate copy of X. X then says that he is the perfect copy
of the original X, the new human who saved the humans from the world.
He then says that the humans have found happiness. He says that the
utopia that all the humans had been looking for was right there in Neo
Arcadia. He then says that Neo Arcadia is something that Zero and the
original X could never create and that only he could do it. Zero then
says that this "peace" is obtained only through the sacrifice of
Reploids. Zero then says that no one wanted Neo Arcadia and that it is
all a joke. X then sarcastically laughs at Zero, tells him he is
funny, and says that it's time to get down to business. Prepare for
battle.
WARNING: X
Man! This cat is tough! Imagine this: fighting all the powers of all
the people X has defeated, in his best armor! This cat is tough! He
can fly! He can use the powers from bosses of the past! And, he can
tackle you! He isn't weak to any of the Elemental Chips, so all you
can do is attack with the charged up Z Saber. X has only two Health
Meters: green and yellow. After frantically avoiding his attacks, and
looking for openings, you will defeat X. Zero then says that this guys
is too weak to be a copy of X. He then asks himself if the original X
was this weak. Stunned at what has just been said, all X can stammer
is "What?" Zero then says that although his memory isn't good, his
body remembers that the original X was mightier than what is in front
of him. X then tells Zero to be quiet and to witness his true power.
X then jumps up and transform into an angelic state. He then drops tow
cylinder objects down to smash the floor and shorten the battlefield.
Prepare for battle.
WARNING: ANGELIC X
Angelic X is no joke. Since Angelic X can float, his only weak spot is
his head. And the only way to attack that is to scale the cylinder
objects. They now have spikes on them, so be careful. X has several
attacks. He sends out this rings that grab you, lasers from his hands,
and fire that covers the entire floor of the battlefield. Be careful,
as when X covers his head down, you can't do any damage to him. The
Elemental Chips still don't have any effect, so, just use a good weapon
(your Buster Gun would come in handy right about now) and take him
down. Watch out for his claws as if you get to close, you'll run into
them and take damage. After a VERY hard fight, you will defeat Angelic
X. MISSION COMPLETE. Congratulations.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 8. Ending +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Angelic X will drop to the ground, with only his head, chest, and few
remaining wings left. X then wonders why he lost, since he was the
perfect copy. He wonders how it was possible and says he was supposed
to be the hero. Zero then says that X was not as naive as this guy
was. And it was that that made him a hero. X then says that he will
not forgive you and that he will take you with him. A warning appears
saying that the final defense line had been destroyed. You then learn
that the self-destruct sequence has been initiated and that all
dangerous elements will be eliminated. Zero then says that it is time
to go. Just then, a large explosion occurs and Zero runs out of the
room. You then see that fairy again, the same one that allowed you to
get to Neo Arcadia. He says that since you disappeared, it's been
fighting the war all by itself against numerous amounts of Mavericks
for nearly 100 years. He then describes that there have been numerous
battles that were painful and sad. He then says that the hardest part
was that he stopped caring about fighting enemies. You then see Zero
laying face down in the desert. The fairy then, slightly, takes form.
It is the real X, and he says that he will leave this world to Zero.
He then asks that Zero allow him to rest in peace for a while. He then
apologizes and disappears. Zero comes around and says, "So be it." He
then says that that is the reason why they are the best of partners.
Zero then turns around and sees hundreds of X clones standing behind
him. He then says that he will do what X asks of him and that he will
handle it. He then says that he won't stop and will terminate an enemy
whenever he sees one. And he then rushes towards the X clones, and
takes them out one by one.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ 9. Weapons/Upgrades/Items +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As you may know, in this game, Zero starts out with very little weapons
and skills for each. However, the more you use a particular weapon,
the more skills you acquire. Once your weapon has been leveled to the
max, you can release the full potential of the weapon. Mind you,
leveling up weapons takes time and patience. You usually level up when
you are constantly going through a particular level on the game. I
know I didn't level up all my weapons in this walkthrough. But don't
worry if you didn't level up all your weapons this time around.

+ 10. Cyber Elves +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Cyber Elves are beings that are created by Ciel and Cerveau. There
are three classes of Cyber Elves. Class 1 is the Nurse class. The
Nurse class takes care of you by giving you health during a mission and
increasing vitality. Class 2 is the Animal class. This class has
animals that help you in a mission that range from providing back up to
bailing you out of situations (like pits). Class 3 is the Hacker
class. This class allows you to manipulate data within a mission, like
changing spiked floors into floors you can walk on and reducing the
energy of bosses. In this FAQ, I was not able to grab all of the Cyber
Elves. However, I was able to grab the ones of most importance. Elves
are indicated by size. The bigger the icon of an Elf (on the Elf
Screen), the more powerful and important it is. Cyber Elves also have
an effect on Zero. Some of the Elves effects are permanent. Others
are just for the moment. Please remember that if you are going to use
a Cyber Elf, it means death for the Cyber Elf. And there is only one
of a particular Cyber Elf in the entire game. For example, if you used
Totten in an earlier mission, Totten will die, and Totten cannot be
retrieved in any other mission or the same mission you got it in. Also
note: the Cyber Elves have an affect on your ranking as a Maverick
Hunter. If you use a Cyber Elf, chances are, you will drop in ranking.
However, the less you use the Cyber Elves, the more chances you have of
accomplishing the higher ranks.

B. Elves in the mission
This is what you've all been waiting for ^_^
The elves that are hidden can be gotten again after you finish the
mission, but the ones that are from enemies, I'm not sure whether you
can get them again after the mission ends. I'm not sure the number
of robots you have to destroy to get each elf, but it shouldn't be
more than l0. Note that the mission order isn't a suggested order,
just the order based upon which is the top choice after selecting the
"begin mission" option. Believe me, doing the order I give is hard!!!!
Imagine how I felt doing it!
Mission 1: opening stage TOTAL: 4
-HACKER: Clocpah, right behind you when you start
-HACKER: Stoccue, from destroying spider nets
-HACKER: Stocchu, from destroying X-droids
-NURSE: Nuppie, hidden in ceiling nook.
In the Resistance Base TOTAL: 4
-ANIMAL: Beevoize, door behind Ceil with A or S ranking
-NURSE: Fureff, feed droid 250 crystals near engine room, door behind
him.
-HACKER: Clocka, listen to old guy's story all the way through after
second mission.
-NURSE: Lippie, go to the gate that leads to the desert, and this
elf is on top of it, hidden behind the corner of it. (thanks to
Lourde
Incarnadine for this one)
Mission 2: stop the reploid processing plant! TOTAL: 5
-ANIMAL: Birsky, from destroying spiked rolling balls
-NURSE: Gireff, from destroying X-droids
-NURSE: Mippie, hanging on a hook off of the cliff right after the
flying X-droid appears.
-ANIMAL: Gibber, from destroying those regen. towers
-HACKER: Clocpooh, you have to get the triple rod, and go back to
the area. Pogo on top of the regen. tower below the wall, and then
jump up that wall. Slash at the container and then wait for it to
float down, and you can claim it! Hope this helps!
**NOTE** According to people, you can break this container with the
shield boomerang by standing on the other side of the wall next to
it, or that the third slash in the three hit combo of the saber will
cut it. Oh well, so much for it being hard!
Mission 3: Destroy Train TOTAL: 7
-HACKER: Itemon, from destroying mini-bikes
-NURSE: Bireff, climb up shaft before fighting mini-boss
-ANIMAL: Beesus, defeat mini-boss
-ANIMAL: Buffer, from destroying the X-arm droids (the X-droids with
a big arm)

balls
-ANIMAL: Birdian, from destroying those flying guys who shoot
missiles

-ANIMAL: Bomga, from destroying the red bombs (thanks to the many
people who emailed me about that)
-ANIMAL: Sticker, from destroying those tanks on the ceiling
-HACKER: Itecle, defeat boss
-NURSE: Somack, after the place gets destroyed, a new area opens up
at the top of that shaft. There, you have to make an INCREDIBLY hard
jump up to get it. May I emphasize how hard the jump is? You will
get frustrated at it, believe me. Just don't break your GBA, it was
expensive ^_^
**NOTE** According to SimpsonsFanatic222, if you get the tri rod and
come back, you can just break the container with it and wait for the
elf to float down instead of making the jump. Thanks!
Mission 6: Occupy Factory TOTAL: 7
-ANIMAL: Beenet, from destroying those flying things with shields at
the beginning
-ANIMAL: Ribbid, go into the main enterence of the factory (not the
air vent shortcut). There should be some enemies there that shoot
bullets in an arc and then jump to the ceiling or floor, depending
on where they were. Kill a few of them to get the elf, then you may
(and should) go back out and in through the shortcut.
-NURSE: Greff, in the air vent shortcut
-ANIMAL: Stickle, from destroying the spiders
-NURSE: Winkie, above the second point where you have to change which
worker bot you are riding.
-NURSE: Motolar, right above the ladder you climb up after the part
with the worker bots. Just slash at the container and it will float
down to you.
-NURSE: Nutan, secret passage in the wall next to the ladder that
takes you to the boss.
Mission 7: Defend Resistance base!!!! TOTAL: 3
-ANIMAL: Birtack, from destroying the flying enemies the tank spits
out (hard!)
-HACKER: Stoctto, after destroying boss
-NURSE: Hapitan, according to Lourde Incarnadine: "In the battle
against the big tank thing in Falcon's old area (the one that you have
to kill three parts on), LET IT EAT PARTWAY THROUGH THE ORANGE/YELLOW
BUILDING!!! You know, the one you had to jump off of to get Mippie.
There's a shaft under the building, but it's closed off at the moment
(there's a Continue on it, too). Once that's uncovered kill the boss
ASAP. When you go back, the shaft will now be open- jump down it and
look for a room on the right with the last SubTank Elf. The shaft goes
all the way down to the Subway area from the Train mission." Thanks
dude!
Mission 8: Rescue Colbor! TOTAL: 5
-NURSE: Dereff, to the left of where you start is a door, behind the
door is this elf (thanks to XxAznKenshinxX for this one)
-ANIMAL: Birtross, from destroying those flying X-droids
-NURSE: Sireff, underneath the platform that follows two falling
platforms
-NURSE: Morick, underneath the platform under the stairs right after
you get Sireff. (Thanks to XxAznKenshinxX for this one)
-ANIMAL: Beedle, defeat the boss
Mission 9: Find the hidden base! TOTAL: 3
-NURSE: Nebitan, when you fall down the long shaft, instead of going
straight into the base, there is a hidden passage through the sand
to the left that leads to this elf.
-ANIMAL: Shelter, from destroying those turtle tank enemies
-HACKER: M-orelli, there are some pipes that are in front of a passage
leading to a door (to the computer room later), if you jump up those
pipes there's a hidden passage that leads up to this elf.
Mission 10: Duel in the desert TOTAL: 3

to dash jump onto the right side of it and then jump to the top, and
dash jump onto a platform to the right. (Thanks to Mark Hunter for
this one)
-NURSE: Reppie, computer room
-NURSE: Keick, computer room
-HACKER: M-orekka, cell 1-02
-NURSE: Tielar, cell 2-01

are
-NURSE: Ireff, next to Iteron

the top of the pagoda that had the purple robots in it. (thanks to
lyrai for the name)
-NURSE: Ereff, next to Stocpoh (thanks to lyrai for the name)
-NURSE: Coswick, have to slide off of the edge to the left of the
purple robot pagoda, and then dash jump left and hold right so you
go under the bottom edge of the wall, then hope to land on a platform
with the elf on it. (Thanks to lyrai for this one)
an alternate method is:
"Before you go to get the Elf, equip the Z Buster on the R Trigger
and charge it to Level 2. Then slide down the side and get ready.
Drop off, and swing for the area where you're trying to hit, but don't
try to get it. As you fall by, fire. If you're lucky, you'll blast
open the box. Then, stop. Kill all the enemies near you, and wait
for the Elf to float down to you.
It works, I did it. Just go with it, and you'll be fine."
(Thanks to Hayate Kusanagi for that info)
-HACKER: Cloctch, defeat clown mini-boss
-NURSE: Meular, you have to dash jump from the left most disappearing
block onto a platform that is inactive, then activate it, hop on it,
and wait until it is the farthest left and dash jump off, you'll end
up on top of the place where you fought the clown mini-boss. (thanks
to Mark Hunter for this one)
-ANIMAL: Beehoney, defeat boss
Mission 15: Neo Arcadia tower TOTAL: 3
-ANIMAL: Birrair, from destroying those flying round bots
-NURSE: Hareff, guarded by an X-Droid

Mission 16: Neo Arcadia CORE TOTAL: 0
THERE ARE NONE IN THIS MISSION!!!!
How to get Jackson: To get Jackson, you must play through hard mode
while getting all the elves and not using any, also you have to feed
them till they are all fully grown. Not only that, you have to get
A or S rank on all missions! When you beat the game, save, then
continue from that save, you'll have jackson.
**Alternatively, on normal mode if you do get all the elves and feed
them all fully you can get jackson by winning, saving, then starting
from that save. The choice is yours!
