1 - Version History

Version 0.2 (8:06 PM EDT 7/2/2004) - I\'ve gone through the Den Battle 
Tournament and listed the three scenarios I went through. More to come 
later. This FAQ is undoubtedly going to take forever to become 100% 
complete because of the random scenarios and the increasing 
difficulties and all that. But I will persevere! Unlike those other 
times.

Version 0.3 (1:32 AM EDT 7/3/2004) - Walkthrough complete up through 
getting the points for the Eagle Tournament. It\'s kind of refreshing 
having started writing FAQs again, I\'ve got something to do after work. 
Fun, too. Also, I\'ve noticed that CJayC at GameFAQs has this listed 
under both Blue Moon and Red Sun. Although I wasn\'t intending to do 
both, why not? I\'ve got both. So I\'ll put in some Blue Moon events in a 
little while.

Version 0.4 (3:27 AM EDT 7/6/2004) - I\'ve played through the Den Battle 
Tournament on Blue Moon, and made it past one event of the Eagle 
Tournament in Red Sun. More later.

Version 0.45 (2:28 AM EDT 7/7/2004) - Completed the Eagle Tournament on 
Red Sun.

Version 0.5 (2:35 AM EDT 7/9/2004) - Finished the Red Sun tournament. 
Still pretty behind on Blue Moon, though.

Version 0.75 (5:09 PM EDT 7/10/2004) - Completed Game 1 on Red Sun. 
Still haven\'t advanced Blue Moon. Don\'t rush me!

Version 0.85 (9:59 PM EDT 7/10/2004) - Gone through the Hawk Tournament 
on Blue Moon.

Version 1.0 (4:46 PM EDT 7/11/2004) - Finished the game on Blue Moon. 
For the record, the super-complete walkthrough shall be version 2.0.

Version 1.2 (3:02 AM EDT 7/16/2004) - Added more scenarios for all 
three tournaments.

Version 1.5 (5:18 PM EDT 7/19/2004) - Den/City Battle Tournament has 
all scenarios listed for both versions; other two tournaments will take 
two more playthroughs to finish, though. Added some scenarios to them 
anyway.

Version 1.6 (11:40 PM EDT 7/22/2004) - Eagle/Hawk Tournament is 
finished. One tournament scenario left, then I go to Black Earth and 
all that.

Version 1.95 (1:13 AM EDT 7/28/2004) - Finished the Black Earth stuff. 
Give me a bit to make my way to the last scenario, then I\'ll start 
working on chips and all that.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - Basic Info

You should probably look at this before you plunge headlong into 
battles and stuff.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1 - Characters

Lan - Mr. Hero Guy. This is one of two people you control as you run 
around trying to save the world.

Megaman - The other character you control. The one that does all the 
actual work, as a Navi running around the Net battling and such. He\'s 
actually Lan\'s brother; play MMBN1 for more information.

Mayl - Lan\'s sort-of-not-really-he\'s-completely-clueless girlfriend. 
Her Navi is Roll.

Dex - The neighborhood bully who sometime (don\'t ask me) moved back to 
town. His Navi is Gutsman.

Yai - The whiny, rich, smart, short, spoiled brat. Her Navi is Glyde.

Chaud - A very skilled NetBattler working for the Official Center. His 
Navi is the sword-wielding Protoman.

Dr. Hikari - Lan\'s dad works for SciLab, and is Megaman\'s creator.

Dr. Regal - A new NAXA scientist. If your instincts were to not trust 
this guy, you were right.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2 - Gameplay

Gameplay in this game takes place in two areas: the real world and the 
Cyberworld. In the real world, you control Lan, who runs around talking 
to people and interacting with objects. The majority of play takes 
place in the Cyberworld, in which you control Lan\'s Navi, Megaman. When 
Lan jacks into an object connected to the net, control switches to 
Megaman. 

Play as Megaman is similar to Lan\'s, but occasionally, Megaman will run 
into viruses, or other Navis, that want to battle. After almost every 
battle, your time, as well as your Busting Level (which measures your 
busting level on a scale from 1 to S) is displayed, and you get a 
reward of money, battlechips, or a health refill.

The main difference between this and other MMBN games is the event 
system. During the game, three tournaments will take place, and during 
each tournament, you\'ll encounter three story events, out of a possible 
seven, selected at random (almost). Don\'t try changing it, they\'re 
decided when you start the game. To get all of the events, you\'ll have 
to play through the game multiple times. Once you beat it the first 
time, you\'ll have the option to continue, or start a new game on Hard 
mode. You\'ll eventually graduate to Super Hard Mode, and from there, 
weirder things happen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3 - Battle System

Occasionally, Megaman will have to battle viruses or another Navi. When 
this occurs, the Cyberworld will disappear and a battle field will 
appear. Half of the battlefield is for Megaman to move around in, and 
the other half is for the enemy/enemies.

In the top-left corner is your health, and the health of your 
opponent(s) is above or below them. Your main weapon is your buster, 
which you use by pressing B. This slowly drains your opponents\' health, 
but the most useful weapons are your battlechips.

As soon as the battle starts, your chip screen will show up. Here, five 
chips from your folder will appear for you to select. You can only 
select chips with the same chips code (* is a wild card), unless they 
are the same chip. Once you\'ve selected your chips, select \'Run\' and 
you can use the chips against your enemies with A. When the custom 
meter at the top of the screen fills up, press L or R to bring up the 
chip screen again.

During the course of the game, you will acquire certain Souls, which 
you can use in battle. To use a Soul, select a chip of the 
corresponding type (fire, water, etc.), then hit the Unite button. When 
you\'re done selecting chips, you\'ll undergo a Soul Change, and Megaman 
will acquire some attributes of the Navi whose Soul he has. You can use 
the Soul for three turns; you could use it indefinitely as long as you 
don\'t bring up the Chip window three times.

An interesting new bit is the emotion marker. Usually, it\'s at normal, 
but if Megaman is damaged enough, you\'ll get desperate. At this time, 
after a certain bit in the story, you\'ll be able to use Dark Chips. 
They\'re very powerful, but when you use them, you\'ll permanently lose 1 
HP. Also, if you\'ve used a Dark Chip in a battle and your HP gets to 0 
in the same battle, you won\'t die, but you\'ll go berserk and lose all 
control of Megaman who will move around and use chips independently. 
The last one happens when you get bashed around a bunch; the marker 
goes red, and your next chip attack does double damage.

If you damage an enemy with a chip attack right before it attacks, the 
enemy will be stunned momentarily and you will go Full Synchro. While 
in this state, the next chip you use that does damage will do double 
damage. If you hit the enemy when it flashes red, you\'ll score multiple 
Counters and will be able to use x2 Attack chips. If you have Full 
Synchro at the end of a battle, it carries over to your next battle, 
unless you jack out.

When you win a battle, the result screen will appear. This displays 
your busting time, and also your busting level, which is how well you 
busted the enemy on a scale from 1 to S. Last, you get a small reward, 
which is either money, a battlechip that is specific to the virus or 
Navi you just fought, or a health refill. Occasionally, you\'ll see a 
GMD in battle. If it survives the battle (it has 1 HP), you\'ll get 
whatever\'s inside. Remember both sides can damage it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - Walkthrough

This walkthrough is NOT spoiler-free. It is, in fact, the very 
opposite.

If you\'re beginning on Game 2 (Hard mode), you\'ll notice that your 
folder, NaviCust, Megaman stats, money and BugFrags are all the same. 
You\'ll also have e-mails describing DublSoul, NaviCust, and the three 
souls you have. Game 3 will be the same, except you\'ll have five soul 
e-mail.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 - The Attack Of Shademan

-- Battle Intro --

You\'ll start with a scene from NAXA (no comment) where they see an 
asteroid heading to Earth. You\'ll then wake up as Lan in his room. Walk 
over to the PET and press A to pick it up. Megaman will tell you to 
check your mail, so do so to see a news alert. Go downstairs and talk 
to your dad, then your mom, then jack into the microwave. Some viruses 
will be attacking Mr. Prog, and you get to delete them.

Normal: 
[Virus Battle: Mettaur, Mettaur]
You\'ll get an impromptu tutorial here on chips. Select the two Cannons 
and get rid of the Mettaurs.

[Virus Battle: Mettaur, Mettaur, Mettaur]
More tutorial, this time on support chips. Grab an AreaGrab and a 
WideSwrd and destroy two Mettaurs, then finish the last one off 
however.

[Virus Battle: Mettaur, Mettaur, Mettaur]
In this last battle, you\'ll learn about the emotion marker and Full 
Synchro. Dispose of the Mettaurs to finish this tutorial.

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mettaur2, Mettaur2]
[Virus Battle: Mettaur2, Mettaur2, Mettaur2]
[Virus Battle: Mettaur2, Mettaur2, Mettaur2]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mettaur3, Mettaur3]
[Virus Battle: Mettaur3, Mettaur3, Mettaur3]
[Virus Battle: Mettaur3, Mettaur3, Mettaur3]

-- Net Intro --

Mr. Prog\'s still broken, so you need to get a RcvPatch from the Net. 
Talk to your Dad to get some money, then head up to your computer and 
jack in. Go through Lan\'s PC into the transporter, then follow the blue 
road all the way to the end of ACDC Area 3, but instead of exiting, 
turn left and follow the blue path to the Navi. Talk to him to buy 
RcvPatch, then jack out, go downstairs and talk to your dad. He\'ll fix 
the microwave, you\'ll eat breakfast, then you\'ll leave for town.

-- Welcome To ACDC Town --

Dad will have to leave to send an e-mail, so go around town and talk to 
everyone. Two kids are in the park, two people are in front of Yai\'s 
mansion, and Dex is in front of his house. Head back to the station, 
and you and Dad will head to Elec Town.

-- Welcome To Elec Town --

Talk to Dad to see some Engrish, then head down the street to the next 
area. You\'ll see a pointless scene, then you\'ll be in control again. 
Head left and talk to Mayl and Yai, then jack in to the stereo. Talk to 
Roll and Glide, then get the BMD in the corner for a RegUP1. Jack out 
and talk to Mayl and Yai again, then your Dad will say he has to go 
abroad, and Mayl and Yai will leave. Continue left to see a crowd 
looking at a speaker with his speaker. There\'s going to be a Netbattle 
tournament! Yay! Then everyone leaves.

-- The Attack Begins --

Go to the previous area and talk to three people in distress near the 
stereo. Jack in and head forward to meet a vampire Navi, who will 
decide to feast on a female Navi (no comment). Jack out and head home, 
then jack in to your computer. Follow the blue path to ACDC Area 3 to 
see a scene between Roll and the vampire. When it\'s done, check your 
mail to get YaiCode, then continue to Town Area 1. Follow the path (the 
waffle area only goes one place) until you see the entrance to Town 
Area 2; go in and follow the path to the weird area. Find the upper 
teleporter (should be in the upper-left area; hug the right edge) and 
go in. Get the BMD, then use the exit to Town Area 1. Go down and 
through another teleporter.

-- Loud --

Go forward to see the Navi. He\'ll leave, and you\'ll discover you\'re in 
the sound system. Jack out and head to Elec Town. Try to get to the 
speaker, and a scientist will stop you. Talk to him, then go back an 
area. Approach the fence and inspect the door to open it. Go up the 
stairs and through the next two areas to the speaker. It will then get 
very LOUD. Naturally, you\'ll run away. Go back to that stereo system 
and jack in, then talk to the green Navi to fight.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: NormlNavi]
HP: 230
Strategy: Your first generic Navi battle. He\'s simple. Stomp him.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: NormlNavi]
HP: 230
Strategy: Same as last time.

Super Hard:
[Navi Battle: NormlNavi]
HP: 230
Strategy: And again.

After winning, jack out and return to the upper level of the speaker 
area. Go around to the other side and jack in.

-- Speaker System --

Go forward past the machine and talk to the Mr. Prog to get BootDatA, 
then go back to the machine and turn it on. Run around and get all 
three bats (try the corners), then go talk to Mr. Prog to remove the 
door. Go on to ElTwrComp2. Do the same in this room (grab the LongSwrd 
S for the LifeSrd P.A.), then go on to see Roll and Shademan. You\'ll 
wax manly, then Shademan will use sound to stop you. You\'ll revert to 
Lan. Go to the lower level of the sound system and inspect the volume 
knob. Back in Cyberworld, the sound will stop, and you\'ll do battle 
with Shademan.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: ShadM]
HP: 500
Strategy: Don\'t even bother with chips. Hit him five times with your 
buster and the battle will stop.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: ShadM Alpha]
HP: 800
Strategy: Shoot him five times to make him go away.

Super Hard:
[Navi Battle: ShadM Beta]
HP: 1200
Strategy: Five hits and it\'s over.

Chaud will show up, late as usual, and Protoman will attack Shademan. 
They\'ll both leave, Roll will thank you, and you\'ll inspect the item 
Shademan left behind. You\'ll get ???Data, then appear back in ACDC 
Town.

-- Daruku Chippu --

I\'m watching too much Axess...anyway, head left to Higsby\'s shop and go 
in. Talk to Higsby to find that the ???Data is the DarkChip. The more 
you use it, the more evil you will get. Also, your HP will drop. He\'ll 
tell you never to use it, which isn\'t bad advice. After that, you\'ll 
get mail from Dex, along with DexCode. Head home and go to bed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 - The Den/City Battle Tournament

-- Registration Closes At 9:00 --

A scene will occur at NAXA, and Dr. Regal will be introduced. Keep an 
eye on this guy. Anyway, you\'ll wake up in a rush. Get to Elec Town and 
find Jomon in the square. He\'ll give you JomonCd and tell you to 
register. Head back to the stereo in the previous area and jack in to 
the computer screens on the opposite side of the corner. Go through 
this area to get to Town Area 2, then use JomonCd to get through the 
security cube. Head to where the transporter was, and find the stairs 
down near another transporter (hug the left edge). Go down to Town Area 
3 and follow the path to an orange Navi. Register your initials, and 
don\'t mess up, since these will stick for the entire game.

-- Boldly Going Nowhere --

Jack out and head back to the square. Talk to Jomon, and he\'ll tell you 
to follow him, and go exactly nowhere (see section title) as some 
scientists show up. He\'ll tell you to talk to the scientists for some 
tasks.

-- Your First Task: Run Around Aimlessly --

The blond scientist will want to help find Mettaur Village. Jack in 
somewhere and head to ACDC Area 2, near the exit to Area 3. Follow the 
winding path to find a purple Navi. He\'ll tell you to look in the Town 
Areas. Head to Town Area 2 and find the teleporter near the stairs to 
Town Area 3. Go in, then find the green Navi partially under a walkway. 
Talk to it, then jack out and head to Elec Town. Go up on the upper 
walkway (to the speaker system) but stop in the area before. Jack in to 
the Board that says AC and talk to the evil Navi. He\'ll give you 
LabData, then fight.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: Spikey, Spikey, HealNavi]
The HealNavi\'s got a chip up his sleeve. Watch out for it. Not like 
it\'ll do much.

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Spikey2, Spikey2, HealNav Alpha]
The HealNav\'s packing AreaGrab.

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Spikey3, Spikey3, HealNav Beta]

Head back to the blond scientist and talk to him to complete the task.

-- Your Second Task: Go Find Some Bugs --

Some idiot\'s writing his dissertation on a bug he\'s never seen; you 
need to find some. Head to ACDC Town and inspect the first tree in the 
park (from in the park) to get GoldBgF. Go into Yai\'s house and inspect 
her teddy bear to find GoldBgM. Go back to the scientist to complete 
this task.

-- Your Third Task: Stuff --

The question is simple; the letters are the first letters in numbers. 
OTTFFSS = One Two Three Four Five Sex Seven. The next three are ENT 
(Eight Nine Ten). You\'ll then battle.

Normal: 
[Virus Battle: Mettaur, Mettaur, MettEX]
[Virus Battle: Spikey, Spikey]
[Virus Battle: MettEX, Billy, Boomer]

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mettaur2, Mettaur2, Mett2EX]
[Virus Battle: Spikey2, Spikey2]
[Virus Battle: Mett2EX, Silly, Gloomer]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mettaur3, Mettaur3, Mett3EX]
[Virus Battle: Spikey3, Spikey3]
[Virus Battle: Mett3EX, Killy, Doomer]

When you\'re done, talk to Jomon. He\'ll give you train access to 
DenDome. Go there.

-- The Final Fleeting Moments Of Normality --

Go up the stairs here and head left to the back door. Go up more stairs 
and through the door, then talk to the official, who\'ll show you the 
pairings. They\'ll be more or less random, except for some requirements. 
Example: you WILL fight Gutsman your first time around. Remember that 
you\'ll only experience three of these every time you play through; it\'s 
the same with all the tournaments.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3.21 - The Sixth Sense (vs. Yuko)

You\'ll muse over the name Ponta for a second. Leave, then you\'ll be 
freaked out by a girl who can apparently disappear. Her name\'s Yuko, 
and she wants to play. Go outside and talk to her, and you\'ll run 
around a lot. After this scene, read the mail from Mom (or not) and 
head back home. Talk to the guy there to find that Yuko can summon Navi 
ghosts, like some weird pixilated Shaman King. You need to take care of 
some.

Jack into the Net and head to ACDC Area 1. Take note of the crystal in 
the corner, which will turn yellow, then red, near a ghost. Take the 
last left before the entrance to Area 2 and head to the square area, 
then press A in the top corner to send a normal Navi. Now go to ACDC 
Area 2 and press A behind the merchant (take the first right) to find 
an evil Navi.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: MettEX, MettEX]

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mett2EX, Mett2EX]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mett3EX, Mett3EX]

Head to ACDC Area 3 and head toward the end of the blue road, then go 
right near the skull door. At the bend in the right dead-end path is an 
evil Navi.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: MettEX, MettEX, Boomer]

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mett2EX, Mett2EX, Gloomer]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mett3EX, Mett3EX, Doomer]

Head now to Town Area 1 and go toward the top of the waffled area to 
find a normal Navi, who will give you a BugFrag. Continue along the 
path and past the Area 2 entrance. Go along past the blue door and take 
the next left. You\'ll find an evil Navi here.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: Melody, Melody]

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Hellody, Hellody]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Felony, Felony]

Go to Area 2 and head for the first dead end left of the upper 
transporter to find an evil Navi.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: MettEX, MettEX, VacuumFan]
Delete the VacuumFan first. Or, if you have CrakOut\'s, use them.

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mett2EX, Mett2EX, VacuFan2]
Same as above.

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mett3EX, Mett3EX, VacuFan3]
And again.

If you want, you can go to Town Area 3 and head to the top corner of 
the platform you registered on for another normal Navi. Anyway, jack 
out and talk to Yuko\'s father, then head to the DenDome and go through 
the doors the official blocked earlier. After a short scene, you\'ll 
battle Yuko and Ponta.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: NormlNav Alpha]
HP: 300
Strategy: He\'s got a slow-moving cannon, a small bomb and a Recov50, 
and can summon certain viruses. Still should be a piece of cake, 
though.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: NormlNav Beta]
HP: 800
Strategy: More difficult than before. He\'s got cross bombs, a HiCannon, 
and is packing Blinder. He can also summon Trumpy, use Wind, and can 
summon Tuby to confuse you.

Super Hard:
[Navi Battle: NormlNav Omega]
HP: 1200
Strategy: This is not an easy battle by any means. He\'s got a super-
annoying army of viruses to summon, and his attacks are pretty hard to 
avoid by this stage. He\'s really fast, so any form of GunSol is a bad 
idea. You\'ll need to give this a couple of shots, probably.

After winning, you\'ll see that Yuko\'s actually dead, and she\'ll depart 
for the next world.

3.22 - The Case Of The Kidnapped Kid (vs. Gutsman)

Dex\'ll come in, with Chisao, and you\'ll talk for a bit, then they\'ll 
run off. Leave the room and Dex will return with some great, erm, bad 
news - Chisao\'s gone! Mail will come in from the alleged kidnapper, 
saying to find the seven clues if Chisao is to live. And only Lan can 
do it. Your first clue:

OMIQR
LANUE
DNSA!

Read that top to bottom starting at the left to read \'OLD MAN IN 
SQUARE!\' Head to Elec Town and talk to the old man in the square (near 
the speaker, at the end). Read your Memo:

si ivan neerg eht

entrance on the right. Inspect the flowers with a bow on them and 
you\'ll get mail from Chisao. He\'ll start to say he\'s in the park 
squirrel; go to ACDC Town and look at the squirrel in the park. You\'ll 
see some writing:

Fill in the blanks to get \'ElTwrComp2, Mr.Prog, 3rd from right\'. Go to

1. Head to ACDC Area 1 and follow the blue road; take the last left 
before Area 2 to find the first Navi, who\'ll just give it to you.

2. Head to ACDC Area 2 and buy a Bubbler R from the merchant for later. 
Then, go to ACDC Area 3 and run past the entrance to Town Area 1 and 
you\'ll run into the next Navi, who\'ll give it to you for 1000 Zennys.

3. Go to Town Area 1 and head a little past the Area 2 exit. You\'ll 
have to take a quiz. The answers are \'Personal Terminal\', \'Giraffe\', 
\'Jomon Electric\', \'Nanako\' and \'Hotdog Stand\'. You\'ll get Data3.

4. Head to Town Area 2 and enter the lower teleporter. Give the Navi 
the Bubbler R you bought earlier in exchange for Data4.

Attacks: Pounds the ground, breaking a panel and dropping three rocks.

Strategy: His attacks mainly involve dropping rocks, shooting you and 
breaking panels. All of his attacks are fairly easy to avoid. Keep 
damaging him and he\'ll go down soon enough.

After winning, Chisao will confess to staging the kidnapping to help 
Dex win. After some words, you\'ll receive GutsSoul, which will work 
with any panel-breaking chips. Open up your mail to see an 
instructional program on using Souls.

3.23 - An Excellent Example Of Typical Maintenance (vs. Sparkman)

After checking the board, you\'ll get e-mail from Jomon Electric, who\'s 
giving out free PET checkups. Go outside and talk to the guy who\'s 
dressed funny. He\'ll \'fix\' your PET, then run off, leaving a Paper 
behind. But wait! He\'s stolen your folder! Head to Elec Town and talk 
to the woman window shopping in the second area nearest the square, 
then talk to the old man who\'s window shopping to see a scene. 

Check out the paper. This piece of paper will have seven clues on it. 
From my understanding, there are three possible sets of clues, so 
you\'ll probably have to go check out the clues. Also, if you don\'t want 
to run around, you can do a guessing game with the numbers. The old man 
will tell you how many were right each time you guess, so you can use 
that to change your guess until it\'s right. The two codes I found were 
1563546 and 9651345, and a cool guy who goes by the name Vecktor found 
7374262. When you\'re done, re-equip your folder and head to DenDome for 
your battle.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: SprkM]

         Sends a spark that touches every square in a pattern.
         Summons a shadow of you to use a random chip.
Strategy: If he sends a mine at you, don\'t be at a square diagonal to 
it when it stops. The spark pattern is easy to avoid. I would suggest 
using charge shots in between chips.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: SprkM Alpha]

it when it stops. The spark pattern is easy to see, but hard to avoid. 
And by gum, he\'s fast. This will take work.

When you\'re done, Terry will have words with his grandfather (the guy 
at Jomon Electric) and they\'ll both run off.

3.24 - ...And Not A Drop To Drink (vs. Aquaman) [Blue Moon]

Your opponent\'s Aquaman. You\'ll get an e-mail from some e-tabloid 
saying water\'s in your future. Leave the room and go downstairs to find 
your opponent, Shuko, a real nutter of a girl. After she leaves, go 
outside to see her talking to Atsu and Ty. Aquaman\'ll end up on the 
receiving end of a misunderstanding, and is crying on the Net, which 
turns out ot be pretty bad. Talk to the guy outside to find the Net has 
been flooded. Say \'OK\' and you\'ll get a CybCanst. 

Jack into the Net somewhere to see the water; you\'ve got an air supply, 
as well, so be wary. Go to Town Area 2 and head to the empty circular 
platform. You\'ll talk, and when he leaves, head to ACDC Area 2. If you 
get near the Area 3 entrance, you\'ll see him reappear behind a gate you 
can\'t open. Jack out and return to DenDome. Talk to the other twin to 
find where Shuko is. Head to Elec Town and talk to Shuko to get 
ShukoKey. Return to ACDC Area 2 and open the door, then go through the 
warp point. Follow the path to Aquaman; you\'ll talk, and he\'ll bring 
the water down again. Jack out and head to the DenDome for your match.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: AquaM]
HP: 500
Attacks: Shoots a Bubbler at you.
         Creates two pipes that shoot water.
Strategy: When he creates the pipes, they\'ll only shoot water to the 
second-to-last row. Avoiding attacks is generally not a problem. Your 
best time to attack is when the pipes disappear. Try to use the LifeSrd 
P.A. when you get the chance; you should have it now.

Super Hard:
[Navi Battle: AquaM Beta]
HP: 1500
Attacks: Shoots a Bubbler at you.
         Creates two pipes that shoot water.
         Hurls a water minibomb at you.
         Creates a single waterpipe.
Strategy: When he creates the pipes, they\'ll only shoot water to the 
second-to-last row. Avoiding attacks is generally not a problem. Your 
best time to attack is when the pipes disappear. In all honesty, he\'s 
not too much different from before, except his minibomb is pretty big. 
Also, the single waterpipe can cut off passage from the top row to the 
bottom one.


When you\'re done, you\'ll get AquaSoul. With AquaSoul, your buster will 
charge almost instantly. Very useful.

3.25 - You Spin Me Right Round (vs. Topman)

Like a record, baby...your opponent\'s Topman. Leave the building and

interesting top. The grandson will run off, and the top will break.

Jack out and the grandpa will yell at you. After some discussion, he\'ll 
shuffle off, leaving his top behind. You\'ll pick it up and look to give 
it back to him. Go to Elec Town and talk to him; he\'ll take it back and 
walk off. Head to ACDC Town and talk to the people in the park; they\'ll 
agree to help the old guy, named Tensuke, if you can answer four 
questions by their hidden Navis. If you answer wrong, you need to 
uncrick their backs by alternating hitting L and R a bunch. I guess 
questions/answers are random. They\'re not too hard or vital.

1. Go to Town Area 1 and go past the Area 2 entrance, then talk to the 
Navi.
2. Go to Town Area 2 and find the brown Navi between the warp points.
3. Go into the lower warp point in Town Area 2 and talk to the brown 
Navi.
4. Go to Town Area 3 and go up the stairs, then talk to the Navi near 
the merchant.

Once you have all four pieces of data, you\'ll get Mmbrship. Jack out, 
go to Lan\'s room and jack in from there, then go to ACDC Area 1, open 
the nearest gate and talk to the brown Navi behind it to fight.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: TopM]
HP: 600
Attacks: Shoots two tops at you.
         Drops on you as a top.
         Spins toward you.
Strategy: The tops move diagonally forward, bouncing off edges. The 
falling top is easy to spot. He moves unusually fast for an old Navi, 
so be wary.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: TopM Alpha]
HP: 900
Attacks: Shoots two/three tops at you.
         Drops on you as a top.
         Spins toward you in a straight line or diagonally.
Strategy: The tops move diagonally forward, bouncing off edges. The 
falling top is easy to spot. He moves unusually fast for an old Navi, 
so be wary. Sometimes he\'ll fire tops and spin diagonally at you at the 
same time; this is hard to avoid, so keep on your toes.

After the battle, Tensuke will get an unusual amount of support from 
former enemies. Standard revelatory post-battle stuff.

Super Hard:
[Navi Battle: TopM Beta]
HP: 1200
Attacks: Shoots two/three tops at you.
         Drops on you as a top.
         Spins toward you in a straight line or diagonally.
Strategy: The tops move diagonally forward, bouncing off edges. The 
falling top is easy to spot. He moves unusually fast for an old Navi, 
so be wary. Sometimes he\'ll fire tops and spin diagonally at you at the 
same time; this is hard to avoid, so keep on your toes. If you\'re three 
panels in front of a top or Topman, or any square diagonal to it, you 
won\'t get hit by its diagonal attack. Sometimes it doesn\'t help a lot, 
though.

3.26 - We All Danced In Fire... (vs. Fireman) [Red Sun]

Well, well, haven\'t seen this Navi in a while. Mr. Match will pop up to 
say hi, and Lan immediately goes on the defensive. Match will leave, 
and Lan will realize he\'s hungry. Leave and talk to the girl outside 
the hot dog stand. She\'ll cook a hot dog, and Match will show up again. 
Apparently he\'s friends with the girl ever since he saved her business. 
Some thugs will show up and demand money, but Match will shoo them 
away. He\'ll then leave, saying you can eat his hot dog. Interesting.

In a completely unrelated incident, her fryer will break. Jack into it 
and inspect the VolGear to fight.

Hard:

Super Hard:

The fryer still doesn\'t work. You\'ll decide to go find Match. Head into 
the Waiting Room in the dome and talk to the guy in there to get 
FireID. Jack in somewhere and head to ACDC Area 3, then go left past 
the Town Area 1 entrance. Open the gate and take the warp, then follow 
the path to Fireman. He\'s talking to a couple of thug Navis, setting up 
some plan - but sparing the hot dog stand. You\'ll tell him about the 
fryer and he\'ll leave.

Jack out and head to the hot dog stand. Talk to Match to find that he 
fixed it; he\'ll tell you off for deleting the virus that powered the 
fryer. Then he\'ll leave; head to the dome for your match. You were 
right, he\'s planning something with a group he formed once the WWW went 
kaput. One of his goons will call him up and revolt after some talk. 
The other goon will announce the plan to the populous. Match will ask 
Lan to help, for the girl\'s sake.

Attacks: Fires a stream of fire at you.

panels.
         Fires a slower stream that sets individual panels on fire.
         Sets all but the center square on fire.
Strategy: Don\'t know why he\'s Alpha, there\'s no normal Fireman. You\'ll 
need to pay close attention to see what attack he\'s using. The first 
stream moves rather fast, but the fire bombs are easy to dodge. The 
last two attacks are rather troublesome. Constant vigilance.

You\'ll get FireSoul from the battle. Match will end up dumping the 
girl, but she\'s alright. Weird.

Your opponent, a guy with too much hair, will come up and talk about 
honorable battle, then leave. Go outside, and two thugs will confront 
you and try to get 100,000z from you. Tetsu will jump on them from the

Something\'s going down in Town Area 3.

Jack in to the Jomon PC and head to Town Area 3. Go up near the

3.28 - Save The Higsforest (vs. Numbrman) [Blue Moon]

You\'re fighting Higsby and his Navi. Or so you think...an official-
looking guy will give you a message saying that Higsby withdrew. You\'ve 
got to get to the bottom of this. Head to Higsby\'s shop in ACDC Town 
and talk to the Higster. Looks like he\'s going out of business! A guy 
from NAM will come up and explain that Higsby\'s wasn\'t doing too well, 
so they\'re shutting it down to replace it with a shop specializing in 
scrub brushes. Higsby\'s going to have to turn some big profits to save 
his shop.

Anyway, your job is to hand out the flyers to Navis/Mr. Progs. Jack 
into your PC and follow the path to Mr. Prog and give him one. Take the 
path down and give the Navi there a flyer. Head to ACDC Area 2 and take 
a left toward the merchant, then go down and give a flyer to the Navi 
there. Head to the square and give one to Mr. Prog, then give one to 
the Navi in the square. Go to ACDC Area 3 and follow the main road to a 
Navi and give him a HigsbyAd.

Go to Town Area 1 and give a HigsbyAd to the Navi near the Town Area 2 
entrance. Head into Area 2 and give a flyer to the orange Navi there, 
then give one to the orange Navi near the Area 3 entrance. Head into 
Area 3 and give one to the second Mr. Prog you see, then go to where 
you registered and give a flyer to the person there.

By now you\'ve given out 11 flyers, but you can still hand out 9 more. 
They\'re located in your stove, in the hot dog cart, in the stereo 
downtown, in the billboard where Mettaur Village was, and in the sound 
system. For now, head back to Higsby\'s shop and talk to Nanako. She\'ll 
give you a chip based on how many you gave out. The NAM guy will come 
in and gloat, then leave. Jack in somewhere and head to Town Area 1. Go 
past the exit and follow the path to the door. Numbrman\'s been locked 
up!

Go back to Higsby\'s and talk to Nanako to get HigsbyKy. Return and 
unlock the door, then go on to a second one. I guess these are random, 
so here were my questions. E-mail me if you come across others, or if 
you don\'t. (Thanks to Vecktor, [email protected] and for some of these.)

HP: 900
Attacks: Creates three number balls and sends them your way.
         Creates a triangular angle thing that flys into your area.
         Throws a die bomb into your area.
Strategy: The ball attack isn\'t too hard to avoid; shoot the one with 
the smallest number on it. The triangle thing will either fly straight 
or circle around your area, so stay clear. Shoot at the dice like mad. 
He\'s really hard to hit because there are always things obstructing 
him. The only good time to hit him is after he throws a triangle.

After the battle, you\'ll get NumSoul, which works with Atk+ chips.

You\'ll be congratulated, interviewed, and presented with a really small

muse over the DarkChip, then Mayl will come up and ask you over to her 
place. Read the mail, then go to Mayl\'s house (pink one next to yours). 
Talk to Mayl to get MaylCode, then jack into her computer and head out

Super Hard:
[Navi Battle: NormlNav Omega]
HP: 1200
Strategy: This is not an easy battle by any means. He\'s got a super-
annoying army of viruses to summon, and his attacks are pretty hard to 
avoid by this stage. He\'s really fast, so any form of GunSol is a bad 
idea. You\'ll need to give this a couple of shots, probably.

Inspect the guard for his code, then rearrange the letters in numbered 
order to get RAEJDUK. Enter that code, then enter Park Area 1.

So pink...anyway, follow the yellow/orange road until it ends, then

Later, you\'ll talk with Mom, and Mayl will work up the courage to ask 
you out. Soon, the weekend comes, and you\'ll have no choice but to 
answer your mail and learn about the deviling NaviCust. When you\'re 
done, head to the train station and go to Castillo. Talk to Mayl at the

the Django model and inspect it to get GunSol1 G (you can only get it 
once). Come out to see a robot about to cleave Mayl\'s head. Go up and 
jack in.

-- Halberd Princess --

Welcome to the worst part of the game. Talk to the Navi and tell him 
yes to start. You\'ll go for a bit, then stop at a story area with bits 
missing. Go and find the section with story bits and take \'Mirror\', the 
bottom one, back to the story area. Continue to the next part, then go 
find the story bits and bring back \'Big Tree\', the top one, to 
continue. At the next stop, you\'ll have to go and get \'MightyBl\', the 
middle. You\'ll soon get to the end; inspect the switch to fight.

At the first stop on your tour, go to the tablets and get WzMonkey

You\'ll stop briefly after starting. Anyway, at the first stop, you\'ll 
need to find the tablets and get the top and bottom ones on the right - 
War and Emotion, in that order. At the second stop, get the farthest 
right, then the second-farthest; put Bird in first, then Dance. At this 
point, you\'ll be attacked.

has entered the haunted house. You\'ll jack out. Head into the haunted 
house and try to find your way through the dark to the vampire robot. 
Jack in.

-- Dracky --

Something\'s different, but they can\'t tell what...whatever. Get on and 
wait until the first stop. Find the tablets and get the lower-left one, 
GunSol, and the upper-right one, CrmScarf. Go back and put them in in 
that order. At the second stop, get the leftmost tablet, Otenko, and at 
the third stop, get the second-rightmost one, Sunlight. You\'ll stop 
briefly again before being stuck in a circle. Choose Apple to go on. At 
the last stop, get the top one on the right, SkyLight, and the bottom 
one on the left, Taiyohh! Grab the Recov80/Vulcan3 (Normal/Hard) in the 
BMD on your way out. Return to the ferry and you\'ll have another battle

Go onto the platform to find...no button. Suddenly, the operator Navi 
will transform into...guess who. Shademan will demand the DarkChip, but 
you\'ll destroy it. That\'ll make him pretty mad.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: ShadM]
HP: 500
Attacks: He\'ll unleash a sound wave that will attack a couple of panels 
in front. Get directly above or below the base of the sound wave.
         He\'ll send a couple of bats at you.
Strategy: You\'ll have no choice but to go without chips for a couple of 
turns. After a bit, you\'ll get the option to use a couple of DrkSwords. 
Take them both; they\'re the only things that will damage him, and act 
life LifeSwrds. You won\'t be penalized this time.

[Navi Battle: ShadM Alpha]

Strategy: Grab both DrkSwords and slash, then wait for another turn and 
finish him off.

Having been defeated, Shademan will turn to stone and disappear. You\'ll 
contemplate the DarkChip, then jack out. You\'ll be thanked by the 
administration, and Chaud will show up, late as usual, and boy is he 
short. After some explanations, you\'ll leave.

3.4 - Eagle/Hawk Tournament

-- Two Points! --

After a dark scene, you\'ll be at home, and a man from the Eagle/Hawk 
Tournament will be at the door. He\'ll give you 1 point. You\'ve got to 
go around and find 50 points to enter the Eagle/Hawk Tournament. 
They\'re everywhere. Here\'s a list of the points - 66 in all. (Thanks to

Once you\'ve got 50 points, go to the castle in Castillo that was closed 
on your last visit and talk to the employee there. You\'ll get a Fldr2, 
and then you\'ll get mail from Jomon Electric, saying they\'ve put a 
banner on your HP, which is basically a link to their HP. Anyway go 
inside the castle. You\'ve found the tournament site! The routine is 
same as last tournament, semi-random events. You\'ll automatically look 
at the tourney board.

3.41 - Bam! (vs. Flave)

Your opponent\'s a rather confident curry chef. You\'ll talk, then he\'ll 
leave. Exit the castle and head for the lower square to see him make 
some curry. Judging by that old man, it\'s pretty good curry, too. After 
some more banter, he\'ll challenge you to a cookoff. You need to be 
getting ready. 

Go to the main square and you\'ll get e-mail from the \'Cooking Master\', 
who\'ll give you ChefKey. Jack in to the cart and head to Park Area 2. 
Go through Park Area 2 normally until you see a blue gate; unlock it 
with ChefKey and take the path to the left. Talk to the orange Navi and 
he\'ll talk about how the cooking machine works. Go up to the pan and 
inspect it to start cooking.

It\'s a sort of mini-game, really. Cut up the ingredients with B when 
they appear in front of you (takes some practice to get the timing 
right). Press A to push away Mettaurs. If any meat falls (it\'ll look 
sort of like radishes), let them fall in whole. With practice, he\'ll 
say you\'re good enough. You won\'t stop until you are.

Now you\'ll need ingredients. Head to the end of Park Area 3, where you 
restarted the park in the second Shademan scenario. Talk to the black 
Navi to fight.

When you\'re done, go back to the Cooking Master\'s Navi and talk; turns 
out the Cooking Master is upset with Flave because he doesn\'t 
understand the purpose of cooking - to make people happy. Jack out and 
go to the lower square and the cookoff will begin. Do the same thing 
you did in the cooking dojo. Flave\'s curry will make the old man 
explode (more or less), but with your curry, he\'ll get to see his dead 
wife. You win! Once everyone leaves, go to the castle to do battle.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: NormlNav Beta]
HP: 800
Strategy: He\'s got cross bombs, and can summon some pretty irritating 
viruses. Keep your guard up and keep moving. You should have a couple 
of P.A.\'s by now; use them to your advantage.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: NormlNav Omega]
HP: 1200
Strategy: This is not an easy battle by any means. He\'s got a super-
annoying army of viruses to summon, and his attacks are pretty hard to 
avoid by this stage. He\'s really fast, so any form of GunSol is a bad 
idea. You\'ll need to give this a couple of shots, probably.

3.42 - Ygolohcysp Esrever (vs. Videoman)

After finding that your opponent is Videoman, his operator will come up 
and request you throw the fight, because Videoman is dying. You\'ll 
correctly sense that he\'s full of it, and he\'ll leave. Head to the end 
of Park Area 1 to find Videoman. Looks like it was a trap. He\'ll trap 
you in rewind, then send three tapes off to various areas. After he 
leaves, you\'ll still be trapped in rewind. Your controls are backward 
(not in battle, though).

Head to Park Area 3. Watch out for the little squares; they\'ll send you 
back to the beginning of the area. Head toward the area with the switch 
to activate the rides and you\'ll find the first tape. Touch a rewind 
square to go back, then head to Town Area 2. Go to the lower area and 
grab Video2, then head to ACDC Area 2 and grab the last tape around the 
link to Dex\'s computer. After a scene, you\'ll turn back to normal. Head 
to the castle for your match.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: VideM]
HP: 800
Attacks: Creates a reel of tape on four squares in your area.
         Plays back an image of Megaman, which attacks with an 
EnrgBom1, a twister, or a WideSwrd.
         Uses Rewind and regenerates health.
         Uses FastFwd and starts moving faster.
Strategy: I HATE THIS GUY. I fought him a jillion times before I won. 
There are constantly two strings of tape appearing to block attacks; 
these strings go with one buster shot. When the reel appears, move off 
the lit squares. The playback is somewhat easy to avoid, if you move 
quickly. If he uses FastFwd, stay in the front of the middle row to 
avoid the reel attack more easily. A stunning attack will undo FastFwd 
or Rewind.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: VideM Alpha]
HP: 1100
Attacks: Creates a reel of tape on four squares in your area.
         Plays back an image of Megaman, which attacks with an EnrgBom, 
a Tornado, or a WideSwrd.
         Uses Rewind and regenerates health.
         Uses FastFwd and starts moving faster.
Strategy: Strange though it may be, Videoman was easier for me to 
defeat this time around. There are constantly two strings of tape 
appearing to block attacks; these strings go with one buster shot. When 
the reel appears, move off the lit squares. The playback is somewhat 
easy to avoid, if you move quickly. If he uses FastFwd, stay in the 
front of the middle row to avoid the reel attack more easily. A 
stunning attack will undo FastFwd or Rewind.

After (if?) you beat him, Viddy and Videoman will argue a lot, then 
leave.

3.43 - Blowin\' In The Wind (vs. Windman) [Red Sun]

After reading the board, your opponent will come up and introduce 
herself as Lilly, priestess of such and such. After some friendly 
conversation (for once), you\'ll leave, and Lilly will...yeah. Anyway. 
Follow a scream to the lower square to see Lilly against Dracky. Jack 
into Dracky and follow the ferry to the end, then inspect the virus to 
fight.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: MettEX, Weather, VacuumFan]

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mett2EX, Winger, VacuFan2]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Mett3EX, Wither, VacuFan3]

Jack out, and you\'ll talk with Lilly. Head home and you\'ll be 
interrupted by Lilly, who\'ll knock your PET into the water. Head home 
and talk to your mom, who\'ll make some lunch. After lunch, Lilly will 
show up, saying Windman\'s gone nuts, and asking for your help. You\'ll 
get the GrasFlut. Plug in and head to Park Area 3. When you get to Park 
Area, you\'ll notice various tornadoes moving about; avoid them. Also, 
in battle, wind will toss everyone around. Make your way to the now-
infamous park switch. You\'ll play the GrasFlut and Windman (and the 
Net) will return to normal. After some talk, you\'ll jack out. Head to 
the castle and talk to Lilly, then you\'ll go in for your match. You\'ll 
discover that Lilly\'s been drunk (score for Capcom!) during these 
escapades.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: WindM]
HP: 800
Attacks: Sends a trio of birds at you.
         Sends two seeking mines at you.
         Sends three tornadoes at you.
Strategy: This battle would be really easy if the wind wasn\'t always 
blowing/changing. The birds are simple to avoid, and the mines will 
only turn once.

Upon victory, you\'ll get WindSoul, which works with Wind chips (like 
AirShot). More friendly chatter with Lilly.

3.44 - When The Hills Of ACDC Are Burning... (vs. Burnman)

Note: if you\'re wondering where the title comes from, listen to Bad 
Religion\'s \"Los Angeles Is Burning\". In fact, listen to it anyway.

Your opponent\'s a new Navi, Burnman. Mr. Match will show up, looking 
for Burnman and his operator. A guy named Atsuki will show up, and he 
and Match will square off. Hot spirit, blah blah blah. They\'ll then 
agree to NetBattle, and leave. Leave the park and you\'ll get mail from 
your mom. Head home and she\'ll give you a WaterGun (to put out 
electrical fires?). Go up and jack in; it\'s hot. Head to ACDC Area 1 
and you\'ll see some flames. Your WaterGun doesn\'t work too well, 
either.

Head to Higsby\'s shop and you\'ll get a FireBstr. Go back home and 
inspect your PC and Megaman will get the FireBstr. To work this thing, 
you need to press B when the meter\'s at the top. If you have only a few 
fires, a little below will be okay, but with larger fires, if it\'s too 
low, you\'ll get burned and lose HP. Put out all the fires on the main 
ACDC road, then jack out.

Head to Castillo and try to enter the castle to find the cart starts 
smoking. Jack into it and put out all of the fires here. Make your way 
to Park Area 3; you\'ll find Fireman and Burnman there. Put out the huge 
fire and there\'ll be more dialogue/fire. Once everyone leaves, head to 
the castle for your match.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: BurnM]
HP: 700
Attacks: Shoots a stream of fire at you.
         Rushes at you shooting fire.
Strategy: He\'s got two flaming jet things that will slide into your 
area and attack. It might be tricky to avoid both of those and 
Burnman\'s attacks. If you stay on the back row behind a jet as it 
rushes to you, it will stop in front of you and fire harmlessly.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: BurnM Alpha]
HP: 1100

area and attack. It might be tricky to avoid both of those and 
Burnman\'s attacks. If you stay on the back row behind a jet as it 
rushes to you, it will stop in front of you and fire harmlessly.

Super Hard:
[Navi Battle: BurnM Beta]
HP: 1500
Attacks: Shoots a stream of fire at you.
         Rushes at you shooting fire - twice.

area and attack. It might be tricky to avoid both of those and 
Burnman\'s attacks. If you stay on the back row behind a jet as it 
rushes to you, it will stop in front of you and fire harmlessly. In all 
honesty, he\'s no harder this time around.

Match will talk some trash from the audience, and Atsuki will try 
blowing up the NetBattle machine. He\'ll just set himself on fire.

3.45 - Mega Gear Solid (vs. Riki)

Your opponent\'s Navi is named Crusher. His operator, named Riki, will 
come in and say some arrogant, but still sort of good-spirited talk. Go 
outside and you\'ll see Riki talking to his boss. The boss wants him to 
head the Mafia, but he just wants to open a bakery. The boss will then 
take Crusher. You\'ll talk to Riki, but you\'ll be scared to take on the 
Mafia.

Head to the lower level and you\'ll see a scene with the boss and a 
Mafia-looking guy. Go back up and jack into the cart. This is where you 
go all Solid Snake. There will be guards everywhere, and if they\'re 
ever looking directly at you, you\'ll be thrown to the beginning of the 
area. You\'ll probably be doing a lot of saving here. Sneak your way to 
the end of Park Area 3, with the restart button. You\'ll break Crusher 
out, but attract some guards.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: Weather, HealNavi, HealNavi]

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Winger, HealNav Alpha, HealNav Alpha]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Wither, HealNav Beta, HealNav Beta]

Go talk to Riki and he\'ll thank you. Some Mafia henchmen will try to 
kill you, but the boss will come up and knock them out cold (?). Head 
into the castle for your match.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: HealNav Alpha]
HP: 800
Strategy: The chip he\'s carrying is an AreaGrab. Otherwise, standard 
HealNavi fare. This guy summons a lot of viruses, though.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: HealNav Beta]
HP: 1100
Strategy: He\'s got a HeroSwrd and some Balls, and likes summoning 
viruses.

You\'ll part on good terms. Riki\'s gonna talk with the boss about the 
bakery.

3.46 - Enviro-Extremism (vs. Woodman) [Blue Moon]

Note: if you\'re running an emulator, your game may lock up a bunch 
here. If you use VisualBoyAdvance 0.8, it won\'t crash, interestingly. 
Thanks to the GameFAQs Red Sun board for that information.

Your opponents are Sal and Woodman. Go outside to get mail from her; 
she\'s selling sandwiches in ACDC park. Go there and talk to her; she\'ll 
give you a boxed lunch. Some guys will come up and discuss destroying 
the park to put up large buildings. Sal will leave for Elec Town. Head 
to the square in Elec Town and you\'ll see her talking with some 
friends, I guess. Some people are warping the minds of the 
environmentalists, and they\'re planting Cyberbombs on the Net. She\'ll 
ask you to go to DenDome to talk to the mayor.

Head to DenDome and enter the battle arena to see an old guy make a 
speech against the environment. You\'ll push him out of the way and jack 
into the machine. Go talk to the green Navi to fight.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: MagTect, Walla, Walla]

Hard:
[Virus Battle: MagTec+, Walland, Walland]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: MagTecX, Waldon, Waldon]

After the battle, check your mail, then head to Castillo and talk to 
Sal. She\'s upset because she can\'t contact Woodman. Cut to Park Area 3. 
An orange Navi is convincing Woodman to destroy the Net. Cut to Lan. 
Jack into the cart and head to Park Area 1. This is where the emulator 
may crash.

Anyway. As you head through, a tree will come and cut you off. These 
things are everywhere, and if you\'re hit by one, you\'ll lose a bit of 
HP. Head to Park Area 3, where Woodman is. You\'ll talk for a bit, then 
the orange Navi will come back. Woodman will tell him off, then kick 
his butt with a wood tower. You\'ll jack out. Talk to Sal, then enter 
the castle for your match.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: WoodM]
HP: 1000
Attacks: Shoots out slow-moving seeds.
         Jumps and hits the ground, causing wood towers to pop up in 
your area, up to three times consecutively.
Strategy: Logs will be rolling at you this entire time. Fire chips are 
effective, no doubt. Overall, this battle isn\'t very difficult. It may 
take a while to whittle his health down, but avoiding attacks is easy. 
AquaSoul is useful, IMHO. If you\'ve got a Magnum, you can take out the 
back row and stop all of the logs.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: WoodM Alpha]
HP: 1500
Attacks: Shoots out  seeds.
         Jumps and hits the ground, causing wood towers to pop up in 
your area, up to three times consecutively.
Strategy: Logs will be rolling at you this entire time. Fire chips are 
effective, no doubt. This battle\'s gotten a bit more annoying this time 
around. The attacks may overwhelm you with their all-at-the-same-time-
ness. I guess something about this battle gives Megaman a craving for 
Dark chips. If you\'ve got a Magnum, you can take out the back row and 
stop all of the logs.

When you\'re done, you\'ll get yourself a WoodSoul, which works with wood 
chips, such as Boomer1.

3.47 - Rock And Roll (vs. Roll) [Red Sun]

I\'ll have you know I went through a medley of horrible puns, and this 
one seemed most fitting; Chibi Soma took the only good one. Anyway, 
Mayl and Roll somehow made it this far without us knowing. You\'ll muse, 
then Mayl will be talking with Yai in the lower square; looks like 
someone\'s stalking Roll.

Exit the castle and Yai will run up, saying that someone\'s kidnapped 
Roll! Jack into the cart there and head to Park Area 1, then talk to 
Glide when you see him (you will). Head to Park Area 3 to see a scene 
with Roll, a mysterious Navi, and a bunch of Mettaurs. You can\'t get to 
where Roll is, so head to ACDC Area 2. The stalker Navi will be 
shopping there; talk to him to fight.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: Weather, LarkEX, LarkEX]

Hard:
[Virus Battle: Winger, BarkEX, BarkEX]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Wither, TarkEX, TarkEX]

After the battle, you\'ll get RoomKey. Return to Park Area 3 and get to 
the lower level, then take the large conveyor belt right when you see 
it. Go up from there, and open the blue gate with RoomKey. Follow the 
path to find Roll, who has obtained the Mettaur\'s loyalty. Some 
conversation will take place, you\'ll imply that she\'s too weak to 
fight, and the rest is history.

Jack out and head into the castle at Castillo , and Roll will e-mail 
you. Head to Mayl\'s house and jack into her teddy bear, then talk to 
Roll; she wants to play tag to prove her speed. This bit\'s a bit weird; 
you need to go up to Roll and press A to tag her, but she\'s moving 
really fast. At some point, she\'ll stop for a second; run for her then. 
Do it three times to win. (She appeared right in front of me three 
times.) She\'ll jack out; follow suit and head for the castle for your 
match.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: Roll Alpha]
HP: 1000
Attacks: She\'ll summon a MettEX or a BillyEX to help fight. 
         Fires an arrow at you, taking a battle chip.
         Appears in front of you and hits you with those things on her 
head.
Strategy: For all that speed talk, she\'s not any faster than any other 
Navi, although she may teleport to another space pretty quickly. Get 
out of the way of the arrow if you want to keep your chips. Otherwise, 
this isn\'t too difficult.

You\'ll praise Mayl and Roll for their mad skillz, and you\'ll get 
RollSoul, which activates with recovery chips (and has recovery powers 
- rock!). Yai will come down and tell Mayl how great she was. Mayl will 
leave, and Yai will tell you why Mayl joined the tournament (not 
telling - ha ha). They\'ll leave, and Lan will prove that he is still 
completely clueless.

3.48 - Boulder Dash (vs. Metalman) [Blue Moon]

Another familiar pair o\' opponents, Tamako and Metalman. Tamako will 
come up and introduce herself (though you should know her already from 
MMBN3), then have you follow her. Go to the lower square to find Tamako 
with a boulder. She\'ll try to break it, then justify her lack of rock-
breaking with some metaphor. You need to work on your fighting spirit. 
She\'ll give you GateData and tell you to go to Town Area 4.

Jack in somewhere and head to Town Area 2, then go to the lower level 
and open the gate in the left corner. Follow the path to Drunken 
Master, who wants some booze (score for Capcom!) Head to Park Area 1 
and head for the upper level, near the Town Area 3 exit. Talk to the 
green Navi to buy some CybrJrky for 500z. Head for Park Area 2 and talk 
to the purple Navi you see about halfway along. He\'ll trade you 
VirusCln for a Spreader L, which you can buy from Higsby.

Return to Drunken Master and he\'ll teach you about breaking boulders. 
Go up to a boulder and press A, then hit B when the line hits the 
center of the meter. Do this to three boulders in 20 seconds, then talk 
to DM to complete your training. Return to Castillo and jack into the 
cart in the lower square. Talk to Metalman to have a smash-off. Break 
more boulders than Metalman three times to win. The harder ones don\'t 
give you more points. Once you\'re done, head to the castle for your 
match.

Super Hard:
[Navi Battle: MetlM Beta]
HP: 1600
Attacks: Throws a metal blade around the stage like a boomerang.
         Throws a metal blade straight at you.
         GearChng. The gears appear on your panels, or return to one 
each.
         Fires missiles at your panels.
         Appears in front of you and punches your panel, breaking it.
Strategy: The gears are the worst things ever. They\'re always getting 
in the way, and the attacks, consequently, are difficult to avoid. 
Metalman\'s not too easy to hit, either. Try to use large chips that do 
lots of damage.

When you win, you\'ll get MetlSoul, which works with breaking chips 
(with the ball as the elemental picture). Tamako will go in front of 
the camera and advertise the Ura Inn (and get in trouble for it).

3.5 - Electopia\'s Finest

-- The Presence Of The Dark Soul --

You\'ve won! You\'ll get a slighty bigger trophy and the knowledge that 
you\'re the stompingest NetBattler in Electopia. Hooray! Anyway. You\'ll 
start to leave, but then Nebula will strike again. Go jack into the 
NetBattle machine and you\'ll meet Laserman for the first time. You\'ll 
talk about Dark Souls, then Gutsman/Aquaman will show up. Laserman will 
put your Dark Soul in Gutsman/Aquaman. You\'ll then do battle.

[Red Sun]
Normal:
[Navi Battle: GtsMDS]
HP: 600
Attacks: Pounds the floor, cracking a panel and making three rocks 
drop.
         Whatever you\'ve got in your folder.
Strategy: He\'s got all your attacks. If you\'ve packed a killer folder, 
you\'ll be kicking yourself about now, probably. This guy moves fast, 
and the cracking panels can get irritating. Constant vigilance. If 
you\'ve got WindSoul, however, this is simple.

longer. He\'s got all your attacks. If you\'ve packed a killer folder, 
you\'ll be kicking yourself about now, probably. This guy moves fast,

Normal:

HP: 500? I forgot to get that.
Attacks: Fires bubbles that hit two squares.
         Creates two pipes to fire water.
         Whatever you\'ve got in your folder.
Strategy: What\'s yours is his. Still a relatively easy battle. 
Aquaman\'s a pretty slow mover. Try not to stand in front of him too 
much, he may break out a Vulcan chip.

-- Humanity\'s Second-To-Last, And Last, Hopes, In That Order --

After the battle, Laserman will put your Dark Soul back. After some 
Dark Soul talk, everyone will jack out. A week later, the fine folks at 
NAXA will try their laser plan. One shot, not allowed to miss...and it 
gets screwed up. Dang. We\'re screwed, unless Dr. Regal can get a great 
operator and Navi. At the same time, you\'ll be talking with your Navi 
buddies in ACDC Area. An orange Navi will come up and inform you that 
you\'re going to be in the world championship NetBattle tournament - the 
Red Sun/Blue Moon Tournament. You\'ll get a Ticket to go to Netopia. 
Lucky you!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.6 - The Red Sun/Blue Moon Tournament

-- Sightseeing --

One week later, you\'re ready to go. Head to the station and go to the 
airport, then to Netopia. Upon arrival, check your e-mail, then go down 
and left and talk to the guy there. He\'s your guide all right - name\'s 
Bonds, and he\'ll give you a NetPassp, letting you access foreign Nets. 
Go up the stairs near the station and talk to the woman there to get 
some chocolate (hold out for 250z). Then talk to the old guy to fight 
some viruses from his Wowzer Box.

Normal:
[Virus Battle: Walla, Walla, GaiaEX]

[Virus Battle: Walland, Walland, Gaia+EX]

Super Hard:
[Virus Battle: Waldon, Waldon, GaiaMegEX]

After that, go and talk to the boy on the right side of this area, then 
go into the alley. Talk to everyone here. You can jack into the chariot 
statue and get the BMD to add to your NaviCust map.

-- This Happens To Me All The Time --

When you\'re done, go back and talk to the guide. He\'ll start leading 
you to your hotel, but a guy in a car will pull up and knock you out. 
You\'ll wake up in a hotel room, and overhear the kidnapper saying he 
broke the key into four and hid it in Netopia Area. You\'ve got to look 
for it. Inspect the bust on the dresser to jack into it.

-- Key Search --

When in the first area, find the program and talk to it to get 
HotelPCd. Find the warp point and go through to enter Netopia Area. Go 
along the upper-right path and inspect the box at the end. You\'ll get 
KeyDataB, but it\'s booby trapped!

Jack out and you\'ll head to the door and unlock it, but the kidnapper 
will come in, with your guide. Turns out you just cleared the prelims. 
They\'ll leave, and you\'ll go to sleep. The next day, you\'ll be ready to 
compete. Leave, then go into the alley and enter the Colosseum. Inspect 
the mouth thing* next to the pairing chart and you\'ll prove your 
contestanthood. The pairings will appear on the chart.

*Note: this is an actual object. It is the Mouth of Truth, located in 
the Baths of Caracalla, in the ancient Roman city of Caracalla. By 
legend, if you put your hand in and told a lie, your hand would be 
bitten off. Looks like CoA got something right, at least.

3.61 - What Happened To The Water, The Water So Wet? (vs. Paulie)

Your opponent\'s from NetFrica, and he\'ll show up. His name\'s Paulie, 
and he\'ll invite you to see the Water Festival in his village. You\'ll 
end up in NetFrica. Go up the slope and jack into the statue everyone\'s 
standing around. Go to the other end and talk to the Navi to battle if 
you don\'t have NetFricC.

Head into the warp point and open the cube, then head into the conveyor 
belt and go around to the large area. A bunch of Navis will be grouped 
around a statue, ready to become Village Champion after winning the 
WaterGod Quest. After the idol takes off, everyone\'ll run off. Head 
back along the blue path into Netopia Area. Get to the center, then go 
to the lower-left area and up the stairs. Go through the exit to enter 
Sharo Area; follow the upper-right wall (don\'t touch the conveyors) 
until you see the idol, then go up and inspect it to get it. Jack out 
and jack in again, then head to the meeting area and talk to the orange 
Navi. You\'ll be crowned Village Champion! But the river\'s dried up!

You\'ll jack out automatically. Apparently, you\'ve got to jack in to the 
big idol across the river and fix it. You\'ll get LionKey. Jack into the 
statue you jacked into before and head to the center of NetFrica Area, 
where you won. Take the slope up and then the one down. Inspect the 
triple gate; you\'ll unlock the first with LionKey. Inspect the second 
for some questions; the answers are \'4\', \'2\', \'60\', \'Green\' and \'22\'. 
Inspect the final gate to fight.

Inspect the water drop to get RecvrDrp, then jack out. Go and jack into 
the other statue to become trapped in a labyrinth. Yay. There\'s sixteen 
areas here; here\'s a handy chart. Comp numbers in the bottom left 
corner; warp number placed where they would be. When there\'s a number 
of Navis in the center, those Navis are lying in the middle of the 
area, and you\'ll have to fight the same number of battles to get to 
another warp.

To get quickly to the Water God, take the following warps: right,

you get to the Water God, inspect it to fight.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: HealNav Alpha]
HP: 800
Strategy: He\'s replaced bombs with Balls (sorry), has a sword (wide or

When you win, it\'ll be revealed that Paulie planted viruses in the 
WaterGod. He\'s tired of being looked down on just for being a kid 
(sounds like Case Closed). After some talk, everyone\'ll forgive and 
forget.

3.62 - The Curse Of Gresply Nekrom (vs. Thunderman) [Red Sun]

Your next opponent\'s Raoul, from Battle Network 2, and Thunderman. A

gets some bread! Woo. As you leave, an old guy will ask you to 
demonstrate your strength.

Head to the center, then take the lower-right path and go up. Talk to

You scored some good bread, but Megaman\'s not feeling up to par. You\'re 
losing HP by the second! You\'ll jack out. Go into the colosseum and 
talk to Raoul, who thinks he knows who did it - Gresply Nekrom. The 
Trial of Life or Death. You\'ve got to lift the curse. Go into the 
hotel, jack in, and RUN LIKE MAD WHEREVER YOU GO. If you\'re low on 
health, enter a battle and use some recovery chips. Your health won\'t 
drop below 1, but having a health of 1 isn\'t the greatest thing.

Anyway. Take the lower-right path into Yumland Area and follow the main 
road to the end, then go back and take the path opposite it to find 
KindnesM. Take another off-path at the main road\'s final bend to find 
WisdomM. Jack out and in again, then head toward Sharo and take the 
path to BraveryM. Return to the center and head on the upper-right path 
until you get StrengthM. Once you have all four, return to the center 
of Netopia Area and go onto the upper-right path and take a left. Open 
the door with the four marks, then grab the CursDoll at the end of the 
path. Return to Thunderman (near the Yumland exit) and talk to him. 
He\'ll undo the curse, and you\'ll jack out. Head to the colosseum for 
your battle.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: ThunM]
HP: 800
Attacks: Shoots a stream of lightning at you.
         Generates lightning that falls from the sky.
Strategy: He\'s got a cloud that periodically shoots little bolts at 
you. Easy enough to dodge, I would think. My advice - use WindSoul, if 
you have it. Works like a charm.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: ThunM Alpha]
HP: 1200

Strategy: He\'s got a cloud that periodically shoots little bolts at 
you. Easy enough to dodge, I would think. My advice - use WindSoul, if 
you have it. Works like a charm.

When you win, Rauol will reveal that his tribe elder cursed Megaman in 
hopes that Raoul would win; Raoul, however, wouldn\'t stand for it. 
After some talk, the Elder will pronounce Raoul the new Elder. You\'ll 
get ThunSoul, which activates with electric chips, like MagBolt.

3.63 - Cool Runnings (vs. Coldman)

Your opponent\'s Coldman, from Sharo. A guy in a coat will be 
complaining that it\'s too hot, and he\'s gonna do something about it. 
The temperature, in a completely unrelated development, starts 
dropping. An official will come up and ask for help, as Coldman is 
wreaking havoc. Return to your hotel and jack in, then head to Netopia 
Area. Go up the stairs and keep going until you see Coldman with some 
snowmen. Confront him, and he\'ll return the room to normal, then leave. 
Jack out and head outside to find it snowing.

You\'ll check your mail to find a cold air mass from Sharo has hit 
Netopia. Go to the airport and head to Sharo, then follow the path to 
the Space Center. Ivan Chillski sent a signal to a satellite to cause 
this panic, and knocked out the officials. Now they need your help.

Before you start, make sure you have a HeatShot C, a FlmLine1 F, a 
BlkBomb Z, and a HeatBrth K. You\'ll need them to restart the torches. 
You can get a HeatShot C from Higsby\'s shop, a FlmLine1 F from your 
Fldr2 (or you can order it from Higsby), a BlkBomb Z from a PMD (Purple 
Mystery Data) in Sharo Area, and a HeatBrth K from the merchant in 
Netopia Area. You won\'t lose the chip by installing it.

Once you\'ve got all of those, return to Sharo and inspect the first 
snowdrift, then inspect the door of the first house to get a shovel. 
Return to the snowdrift and inspect it, then press B as fast as you can 
to clear the snow. Jack into the antenna and inspect the left snowman 
to fight.

3.64 - Darkness Falls (vs. Protoman) [Blue Moon]

How fitting that you and Chaud would meet at Blue Moon. Some officials 
will come out and talk about Protoman\'s DarkSoul. Chaud will then call, 
wishing to talk. Head to the hotel; Chaud will be on the bed. Turns out 
Protoman is possessed by a DarkSoul after all; Chaud used a DarkChip 
while being attacked by 500 Syndicate Navis. Suddenly, Protoman will 
jack himself into the Net. Chaud will leave, and you\'ll jack in.

You\'ll see a scene with Protoman in the Undernet. Head to NetFrica Area 
and find the warp to the idol, then go past it and take the path up to 
Sharo Area. You\'ll get mail from Chaud. Go to the end of the path and 
talk to the Navi - looks like you\'ll need the C-Slider. Buy the 
BordPart in the lower part of Town Area 2 for 2000 Zennys, hidden under 
a walkway; to get there, you\'ll have to go through YumLand Area, since 
you\'re trapped in your hotel room. Buy the JetParts from a Navi in 
lower Town Area 3 for 3000 Zennys (go through Park Area 1). Get the 
WingPart in Yumland (Navi under a slope) for 4000 Zennys. Head to Sharo 
Area and find the door to unlock for 500 Zennys. Talk to the girl 
behind it to get the C-Slider.

Right. Return to the orange Navi in Sharo and go along the small path, 
then enter the Undernet. This is the single most maze-like part of the 
game. Chaud will contact you with a line to connect to Megaman, so he 
can command him; press L to talk to Chaud when you need to. At the 
first split here, go forward, then head to the left corner. Continue 
until you come to a \'Y\' sort of split. Take the right path and enter 
the transporter. A big door will be in the way. Chaud will tel you to 
find Redkey somewhere in Undernet 1, in the middle of four bones, he 
says. 

Take the warp and get on the conveyor belt to return to the beginning. 
Follow the path you were on before until you come across four fangs in 
the path (no, it\'s not right in the beginning). Return to the wall and 
go through. In this area, go up the ramp at the first junction, then go 
back left and go down the ramp. Go right and past the ramp, then follow 
this path to the end to find that you need BlueKey and GreenKey. 

The BlueKey\'s in the right corner of the only square you can see when 
you\'re right next to the door. On this same square is the other 
addition to your NaviCust map. Go there, then head back along the path. 
When you see two conveyor belts at a corner, take both of them, then 
search on the panel on which you now stand. Return to the door to go 
through.

To get through this area, take a left at the first junction, then go 
forward, then two rights. Go through the warp points until you\'re on 
the red path, then head forward to the door. You need YelowKey, 
WhiteKey and BlackKey. For YelowKey, go back through all of the warps, 
then go as far up-right as you can. You\'ll find nine fangs in a row - 
search the panel in front of the middle one. Go to the other end of 
this area to find the corner with six bones. Search the corner for 
WhiteKey. For BlackKey, take the warp you took to get to the door, then 
when you\'re on the platform with two warps, search the bottom corner. 
Return to the door and open it, then continue to Undernet 6.

In here, take the closer stairs and follow the path to the conveyors. 
Take the left conveyor when you get the chance to walk on the wide 
ramp. Talk to the Navi at the end to fight.

for these battles. Oh, why not.

Afterwards, the black Navi will unlock Protoman, who will delete the 
black Navi. He\'ll then lunge at Megaman. Chaud will try to convey his 
emotions to Megaman to give them to Protoman. He\'ll be knocked down, 
then wake up remembering nothing. (In Japanese, Chaud told Lan to go 
Full Synchro, which they did, knocking Protoman out. When he woke up, 
he remembered nothing.) Chaud will head for the colosseum. Follow him 
for your match.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: ProtM]
HP: 1000
Attacks: Moves in front of you and uses WideSwrd.
         Moves to the front row and uses HeroSwrd.
Strategy: The only time you can hurt Protoman is right after he\'s 
attacked. Stay in the center of your area. If he uses WideSwrd, move 
back one and strike. If he uses HeroSwrd, move up or down. Other times, 
he puts up a shield when you attack. Really annoying battle, mostly 
because there\'s basically no time between when he moves to strike and 
when he strikes.

         Moves behind you and uses WideSwrd.
         Moves to the front row and uses HeroSwrd.
         Uses the Delta Ray Edge.
Strategy: This isn\'t going to be fun. The only time you can hurt 
Protoman is right after he\'s attacked. Stay in the center of your area. 
If he uses WideSwrd, move back one and strike. If he uses HeroSwrd, 
move up or down. Other times, he puts up a shield when you attack. 
Really annoying battle, mostly because there\'s basically no time 
between when he moves to strike and when he strikes. Useful: he\'ll move 
four times after an attack, then move to attack again, unless he uses 
Delta Ray Edge. I think the only way to avoid Delta Ray Edge is to move 
down, then back. He won\'t adjust to hit you, he needs to complete the 
triangle. If you get to the back row before he hits from behind, he\'ll 
stop. He\'ll glint before he does it, but you\'ll have basically no time 
to move.

After the battle, Lan doesn\'t care about Chaud much more than he did 
before, but Megaman got himself a ProtSoul. Works with any sword chip.

3.65 - The Way Of The Kendodo (vs. Kendoman)

Kendoman\'s from NetFrica, along with, apparently, his operator, Mr. 
Famous. He brought with him the Navi that can coach young people well, 
Kendoman. He\'ll tell you to go to NetFrica and say hi. From a distance, 
some weirdo is watching.

Leave and head to the station, then go to NetFrica. Talk to the guy 
there to find that Kendoman is in NetFrica Area. Go up the slope and 
jack into the statue, then head to the end and talk to the Navi to 
fight (if you don\'t have NetFricC).

Head into NetFrica Area and head into the large conveyor, then go down 
and around to the other side. Follow this path until you find Kendoman. 
Talk to him, and he\'ll make you call him Master Kendoman. He\'ll mistake 
you for a student and give you a CybrSwrd. You\'ve got to practice 
Kendo. He\'s got three practice machines, one in Yumland, one in Sharo 
and one in Netopia. Head to Netopia and jack into the hotel room, then 
head to Yumland Area (the lower-right exit). Follow the main road until 
you find the training machine.

This is an interesting sort of game. You need to press the proper arrow 
with A according to how he moves. Press the arrow that appears with the 
A button. If he says Block!, you need to press Left+A; it\'s hard to 
time that right, though. You\'ve got 50 seconds. He\'ll give you License1 
when you\'re done.

Head to Netopia Area and go up the ramp to Sharo, then spar with the 
Kendo machine here to get License2. Continue on to Sharo Area and head 
right to find the last training machine and get License3. When you\'re 
done, head back to NetFrica and talk to Kendoman. He\'ll apologize for 
grilling you, then you\'ll both jack out. Head to the colosseum for your 
match. Mr. Famous won\'t show up, and he doesn\'t have much time to do 
so.

Head to NetFrica (real world) and approach the ramp to see a scene. 
Some lions have some villagers trapped! Guess the blonde guy\'s getting 
revenge for something; he\'s controlling the lions with radio waves from 
a statue. Head up the ramp and jack into the lion statue, then go to

You\'ll talk about boring stuff.

3.66 - The Super Bomb (vs. Jack)

You\'re fighting a normal Navi this time. A weirdo will come up and, 
after some talk, mention Footbomb. It\'s a cybergame, like CyberSoccer, 
except they use bombs instead. You need to get some BmbShoes in order 
to play FootBomb.

Go to the hotel and jack in, then head to the NetFrica Area exit and 
talk to the Navi there. Give him a Guard1 A and he\'ll give you 
BmbShoes. Read the mail from the weirdo, then jack out and head to 
where you met the tour guide. Jack in to the statue and talk to the 
Navi, then select What is this? to learn how to play Footbomb. The 
kicker needs to press A and a direction to try and get the bomb past 
the goalie. The goalie needs to pick the proper direction to block the 
ball. It\'s kind of like Rock Paper Scissors.

Once you win, he\'ll look for a large area to run around in. Head to 
NetFrica Area and go to the platform to the left of the statue warp. 
Talk to him; he\'ll want to play again with a PowerBomb, inside 
HeroComp. Head back to Netopia and jack into the chariot statue outside 
the colosseum. Talk to the Navi to play. Once you win, the Navi will go 
insane. Head to the colosseum for your match.

3.67 - Trash Of The Titans (vs. Junkman) [Blue Moon]

Looks like Junkman got an extreme makeover since Mega Man 7. Anyway, 
Megaman feels like he\'s being watched. An official will show up and say 
there\'s a lot of trash in Yumland area. Yea, we can check it out. Head 
to the station and go to Yumland. Go to the second area and jack into 
the four goddess statues. Talk to the purple Navi and pay him 6000z to 
get YumLandC.

Go into Yumland Area and get to the main road, then follow it right and 
talk to the Navi near the trash. He\'ll give you TrashKey; use it to 
open the door. Go forward and you\'ll narrowly miss some falling trash. 
You\'ll keep running forward from trash until you reach a dead end and 
Megaman gets kayoed. When he coems to, he\'s not really being himself. 
Keep pressing L to talk to Megaman a bunch. The answers to the 
forthcoming questions are 35 pts, hamburgers, and...none of the last 
answers are right. Looks like Megaman\'s been possessed by Junkman.

Jack into the statues again. In battle here, you\'ll start out confused; 
don\'t fret over it too much. Head to where the TrashKey door was, then 
inspect the first pile of trash.

after the match. Megaman will talk about Junkman\'s suffering, and will 
say to look for a big guy. You\'ll jack out.

Talk  to the nearest old man, then head to the first area of Yumland 
and talk to the girl neat the entrance to the Buddha. Go up to Buddha\'s 
face and jack in. Talk to Mr. Prog and he\'ll give you KindData to give 
to Junkman. Head to the colosseum for your match. You\'ll try to give 
Junkman the KindData, but he\'ll destroy it.

Junkman will reveal that he was going to be deleted anyway. He\'ll

JunkSoul.

3.68 - Sniped (vs. Serchman) [Red Sun]

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.7 - The Final Trial

-- King Of The Hill --

Holy cow, you\'re the best NetBattler on Earth. Awesome. Before you can 
celebrate, a helicopter comes down. You need to get on and get going. 
You\'ll end up at NAXA, and an official will inform you that you need to 
save the world. Again. Ah well.

-- So What\'s The Plan? --

Check your e-mail to find a banner for the hotel is now on your HP. 
Enter the NAXA building and get on the conveyor belt, then go up the 
stairs and enter the room on the far left. You and your dad will be 
surprised to see each other, but no time for that now. Turns out the 
asteroid\'s actually a rocket from another planet that accumulated mass, 
and as such, it has a Cyberworld. Lan needs to jack in and change the 
asteroid\'s course. The other tournament winner is doing something else. 
But, red alert! Nebula\'s destroying the Net! You need to stop them!

-- YumLand --

Talk to your dad to get your first GigaChip, either RedSun R or 
BlueMoon B. It\'s plenty powerful. Leave NAXA to find that you can 
travel all over the world. First, head to Yumland and enter the second 
area (hard to find), then jack into one of the four goddess statues. 
Talk to the purple Navi on the left to give him 6000 Zennys in exchange 
for YumLandC if you don\'t have it, then go through the warp and unlock 
the cube. It\'s possible you don\'t have the money at this time; just run

Head into Netopia Area from Sharo and go down the stairs. Talk to the

culprit is to go through the Undernet. He\'ll give you TownKyDt. Head to 
Town Area 2 and take the warp to the lower area. Unlock the blue gate 
to enter Town Area 4. Take the conveyor belts to the upper corner, then 
go up-right onto an invisible path. Talk to the Navi to get GunSol2 G, 
which will help later. Return to the beginning of the area and take the

When he\'s done, he\'ll say the plan is nearly complete, then he\'ll try a 
kamikaze attack. Elsewhere, Regal will notice the Transmtr has stopped, 
which means Megaman\'s been deleted. He\'ll opt to send his Navi instead.

-- And The Plot Thickens --

But Megaman\'s okay! Roll, Gutsman and Glide blocked the attack with 
barriers. Head back to NAXA and go inside; talk to the guy in the 
center of the first floor to get DadsNote. Go up the stairs and into 
the elevator. Regal\'s about to send his Navi, and everyone else moves 
away to safety. Except for Dr. Hikari, who finally figured Regal out - 
he\'s the leader of Nebula! You\'ll arrive and run toward Regal and 
Hikari, but the bridge will be destroyed - you\'ll make it back down in 
time. But Regal will knock out Hikari. He\'ll then transmit Laserman to 
the asteroid. You\'ll read DadsNote, which says to jack into the 
generator. You\'ll do just that, sending Earth\'s last hope to the 
asteroid to stop Laserman.

-- The Asteroid --

If ever there was a maze in the BN series, here it is. You\'ll notice 
little panels with dots on them like dice - you\'ve got to go through 
them in the right order. If you do it wrong, you\'ll be sent back to the 
beginning of the area and it\'ll be reset. Every once in a while, a 
black hole will open and try to suck Megaman in. Press A like mas to 
escape when this happens. Below is the list of directions to take at 
each junction, which is to say, a meeting of two or more paths. Not a 
corner. Follow them very closely. Remember, forward means keep going 
straight. If I say left, I mean Megaman\'s left. Same with right. This 
may be tricky, but I decided it was easiest.

Area 1:
Forward, forward (#1), left, right, left, forward, forward, left (#2), 
forward, left, left, forward, right, left, forward, forward, forward,

Left, forward, right, right, forward, forward, forward, left (#1), 
right (#2), left, right, left, forward, forward, right, forward, 
forward (#3), left, left, left, right, left, right (#4). Find the door 
and go through.

Area 3:

left, right (#2), right (like you have a choice), right, forward, 
forward, left, right, forward, right, left, forward, left (#3), left,

left, forward, forward, (#3), forward, forward, forward, right, right,

Before you get to the platform with the door, save. As you approach the 
door, you\'ll be stopped by Laserman. Prepare for a crazy battle.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: LasrM]
HP: 1000
Attacks: Shoots at the ground, attacking panels in a plus and cracking 
the middle panel.
         Fires an energy beam.
         Fires at the ceiling and makes rubble fall. 
         DarkLase. Opens a hole in the ground to regenerate his health.
Strategy: If he ever opens a hole, crack the panel it\'s on and it will 
close. Other than that, whoo. The plus attack is hard to avoid, as it 
covers a large area. The rubble attack is easier to avoid. Interesting 
bit: stay on the center of the back row, and he\'ll crack the middle 
panel with a plus. Stand on it to create a hole, and return to the 
center of the back. He\'ll keep firing pluses at the hole, and they\'ll 
do nothing. Hm. If he sticks his hand out for a blast, move 
immediately, as time stops while he fires. This isn\'t my favorite 
battle, needless to say.

Laserman will comment on your DarkSoul before blowing up. Back on 
Earth, Regal will insult you for destroying the only Navi capable of 
controlling the asteroid. Use a FullEnrg, but remember that they carry 
over to Game 2 (contrary to what I thought previously). AND SAVE. NOW. 
You can\'t start Game 2 or 3 (or 4 - but who cares) if you don\'t. 
Lastly, rid your folder of any chips that move your opponent, take 
panels, affect the ground, and don\'t attack a distant opponent. If you 
have any PnlRetrns, put them in. Lastly, use Wind chips if you have 
WindSoul. Go through the door.

-- The Long And Winding Road --

Follow the road until you get to the end. Megaman will see the control 
system, but he\'ll be stopped by the floating head of Duo, who operates 
the rocket. It was fired from his planet to destroy Earth because 
humans are so evil. He\'ll say \'Boo!\' and rip out your DarkSoul. Prepare 
for battle.

Normal:
[Navi Battle: MgaMDS]
HP: What\'s your HP?
Attacks: What are your attacks?
Strategy: He\'s got your attacks, but prefers to use his buster, which 
does very little damage. Only problem is, holy cow, he\'s fast. 
Regardless, this battle should go pretty quickly. I guarantee you have 
nowhere near the HP of any really powerful Navi. Use a couple of 
Magnums or something.

Hard:
[Navi Battle: MgaMDS]
HP: What\'s your HP?
Attacks: What are your attacks?
Strategy: Same as last time, except as your Megaman has improved, so 
has this guy. He likes using powerful chips, like BlueMoon, and P.A.\'s.

-- The End --

When you\'re done, you\'ll talk more about evil, then, in MMBN tradition, 
he\'ll grow himself a huge body. He\'s gonna destroy you himself. Lock 
and load, pal. You\'ve got a planet to save. Let\'s go.

Normal:
[Final Battle: Duo]
HP: 2000
Attacks: A pink mine will come out, waving over two rows.
         A missile will shoot at you.
         He\'ll punch his fist, which will hit a 2-by-2 area.
         He\'ll swipe at the back two rows, then the front two.
         A laser will come out of his chest, hitting the center row, 
then rings will hit the rightmost row, then the second-leftmost, then 
the second-rightmost, then the leftmost, then the rightmost again.
         He\'ll punch the ground numerous times, cracking random panels.
         He\'ll fire an image of a face, cracking the first two rows.
Strategy: This is gonna hurt. And now you know why you modified your 
folder. You\'ve got to hit the thing in the center of the body, and only 
when it\'s red. Attacks are easy enough to dodge at the beginning (go to 
the front, then the back, for the swipes), but it gets to be a bit much 
later. To avoid the multi-punch, stay where you are until your square 
flashes yellow, then move away, then back. Thankfully, he can be 
stunned by electric attacks. As his HP gets lower, he\'ll start punching 
twice in a row, and sending more projectiles at a time. You\'ll have to 
start dodging mines the hard way. Also, try to stay in front of Duo 
until he\'s fired three projectiles, then you may have room to move 
around in. My ultimate advice: save the huge attacks for last, when you 
seriously want to get the job done quickly. Also, if you have UnderSht, 
do not use ANY recovery chips unless your health is at 1. If you want, 
go get an AirShoes NC part from the BugFrag trader in Undernet 4 for 22 
BugFrags. Lastly: no DarkChips allowed.

Hard:
[Final Battle: Duo Alpha]
HP: 2500
Attacks: A pink mine will come out, waving over two rows.
         A missile will shoot at you.
         He\'ll punch his fist, which will hit a 2-by-2 area.
         He\'ll swipe at the back two rows, then the front two.
         A laser will come out of his chest, hitting the center row, 
then rings will hit the rightmost row, then the second-leftmost, then 
the second-rightmost, then the leftmost, then the rightmost again, then 
the second-leftmost again.
         He\'ll punch the ground numerous times, cracking random panels.
         He\'ll fire an image of a face, cracking the first two rows.
Strategy: Not too much different the second time around, just takes a 
little bit longer. Attacks are easy enough to dodge at the beginning 
(go to the front, then the back, for the swipes), but it gets to be a 
bit much later. To avoid the multi-punch, stay where you are until your 
square flashes yellow, then move away, then back. Thankfully, he can be

Super Hard:
[Final Battle: Duo Beta]
HP: 3000
Attacks: A pink mine will come out, waving over two rows.
         A missile will shoot at you.
         He\'ll punch his fist, which will hit a 2-by-2 area.
         He\'ll swipe at the back two rows, then the front two.
         A laser will come out of his chest, hitting the center row, 
then rings will hit the rightmost row, then the second-leftmost, then 
the second-rightmost, then the leftmost, then the rightmost again, then 
the second-leftmost again, then the second-rightmost again.
         He\'ll punch the ground numerous times, cracking random panels.
         He\'ll fire an image of a face, cracking the first two rows.
Strategy: Not too much different the third time around, either. Attacks 
are easy enough to dodge at the beginning (go to the front, then the 
back, for the swipes), but it gets to be a bit much later. To avoid the 
multi-punch, stay where you are until your square flashes yellow, then 
move away, then back. Thankfully, he can be stunned by electric 
attacks. As his HP gets lower, he\'ll start punching twice in a row, and 
sending more projectiles at a time. You\'ll have to start dodging mines

Lastly: no DarkChips allowed.

WARNING! ENDING AHEAD! LARGE AMOUNT OF SPOILERS! READ ON IF YOU DARE!

Duo\'s battle body will explode. He\'ll taunt you, saying you can\'t stop 
the missile, then his head will explode and a bridge will appear. 
Megaman will go up and try to turn the steering wheel.

Back in Elec Town, everyone\'s whining about the asteroid, but then Mr. 
Match/Sal comes up and convinces everyone to cheer for Megaman; maybe 
they can help. Following suit, the entire world begins cheering for 
Megaman.

Back at NAXA, there\'s a broken wire in the laser grid, and Lan can\'t 
get to Megaman. Regal will patch it up with himself.

In the asteroid, Megaman will finally hear the voices of the people, 
and with one last Full Synchro, will turn the wheel and save the Earth. 
Duo will let him live for now.

Back at NAXA, a helicopter will come down and Lan will go to the upper 
platform, where Regal is. He\'ll denounce the good deeds of Lan, Chaud 
and Dr. Hikari as evil, mentioning his father, Dr. Wily. He\'ll then 
jump off of the building.

Roll credits.

Three days later, Regal\'s still nowhere to be found (the wimps at CoA 
wouldn\'t let him die like in the Japanese version). You\'ll finally get 
your trophy for being world champion, and be named World NetBattle 
Goodwill Ambassador. You\'ll muse over Regal\'s last words, then you\'ll 
be asked to demonstrate your technique. You\'ll jack in, and the game 
will end. Congratulations!

When the game restarts, there\'ll be a Red Sun/Blue Moon in the corner. 
Select Continue, then you can either continue your old game or start 
another one. If you get the opportunity to start Game 2 or 3, you 
should take it. Don\'t start Game 4. There\'s other stuff you can do 
instead.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.8 - Darkness

-- What Happened To A Stake Through The Heart? --

If you\'re on Super Hard mode, you can do this. Head to Undernet 4 and 
go around this blasted maze until you come across Django and Otenko 
(they\'re on the lower level). He\'ll be wanting an S.Sensor to help 
destroy Shademan in the coffin next to him. He\'s lost it around the 
entrance to Undernet 2. Go there and talk to the Navi to find that it\'s 
in Undernet 6. Go there and find the black Navi to buy it for 10000z. 
Jack out and plug in from some outside place, like Jomon\'s PC, then 
return to Django to see a scene. He\'ll destroy Shademan, with your 
help, and you\'ll get GunSol3, which completes the P.Driver P.A. Inspect 
Shademan\'s coffin to get the NebulaCd, which opens those skull doors.

-- He\'s Back --

For this, you\'ll need six souls and all 150 Standard chips. Go to chip 
traders and such (the ElecTown one is good), and try to get the Collect 
NC part from the salesman in Park Area 2 (take the C-Slider rail to 
find him) to get more chips. Once you\'ve got them all, go to the upper 
level of Undernet 4 and open the skull door. Follow this maze to find a 
door that requires the S-ID. Open it, and inspect Bass; he\'ll awaken 
from his stone tomb. Prepare to be squashed.

[Navi Battle: Bass]
HP: 2000
Attacks: Shoots all over your panels, mainly at you.
         Slashes in front of you, then behind, then in front again.
         Creates two wheels that spin at you.
         Creates a huge ball to destroy your back two rows. The ONLY 
thing to stop getting hurt is AntiDmg.
Strategy: The ONLY good news is that he has no aura this time. Still, 
this will hurt like mad. Bass is the rootinest-tootinest Navi in the 
Undernet, and he\'s ready to obliterate you anytime. All his attacks are 
available at the beginning, and he likes to do them really fast and all 
the time. Bring any chips that will make this battle a quick one. Time-
stoppers are nice, too. Remember that while he\'s moving from square to 
square, he\'s invincible. Probably the best advice is to make sure you 
can stun Bass while he\'s using his buster attack. The last two attacks 
listed are preceded by the same shot of Bass holding purple orbs in his 
hands, and he\'ll use them alternately whenever the shot occurs, 
usually. To avoid the supreme destruction attack, head to the front of 
the top or bottom rows.

When you\'re done, you\'ll get Bass/BassAnly (RS/BM), another of the five 
GigaChips. Bass is heading off to darker places to grow more powerful.

-- EvilChips --

Once you\'ve defeated Bass, pat yourself on the back. But there\'s still 
more work to be done; we need a total of seven symbols on your title 
screen. To enter the Black Earth, you\'ll need the five EvilChips. One 
is BugCharg/BugCurse (RS/BM), yet another GigaChip, which can be 
obtained from defeating Laserman Omega or Shademan Omega without 
destroying the GMD, which is close to impossible. Some advice for 
Shademan: you can deal damage to him after he splits into bats; find 
the one that\'s him and fire away. And only make him disperse when he\'s 
on bottom so he won\'t destroy the GMD. Another is ElemDark, which can 
be obtained from S-Ranking ElmperoEX in Undernet 6.

-- More EvilChips --

Head back to the main section of Undernet 5. The black Navis you may 
have heard of previously are now free, and they\'re holding the last 
three EvilChips. It\'s going to take some work, as they\'ve got hoards of 
viruses at their disposal. The main problem with all of these battles 
is that the panels are preset in their favor, so try to preset a 
PnlRetrn. Go to a corner toward where Bass was, but past it, to find 
the first one. Talk to him to fight.

The HealNavi has an AreaGrab, which lets the WeathEXes make your life 
miserable.

When you win, you\'ll get the Muramasa M. Follow the path to the right 
as straight as you can and you\'ll find another black Navi. Talk to 
fight.

Talk to fight.

Once you win, you\'ll get the last EvilChip, Anubis A.

-- Black Earth --

With all five EvilChips in hand, head to Undernet 6. When given the 
choice of the wide slope or the skinny slope, take the skinny one. Find 
the warp point and go in, then go up to the big black hole. Enter it to 
go to Black Earth. You\'ll like the in-battle GMDs here, not to mention 
the regular ones, you can get Navi chips from them. Good thing, too, 
because to get to Black Earth 2, where actual stuff happens, you\'ll 
need all of the Navi MegaChips, normal and SP versions. Remember that 
Navi shadows appear here, so you\'ll need sword chips to take them out. 
Once you have all of the Navi MegaChips (two versions for each Navi), 
head through the blue gate (hard to find) and enter Black Earth 2.

-- Dark Souls --

Here\'s where stuff will actually happen. In-battle GMDs contain such 
chips as BugChain *. If you take the right path, you\'ll take a long 
road to a BugFrag trader and a BMD with 5 BugFrags; you can get the Z 
Saber out of this thing if you try hard enough. We want the left road. 
You\'ll run into six mirrors on your way to the center, and each time 
you inspect one, you\'ll have to fight a dark souled Navi. Let\'s go down 
the line.

[Blue Moon]
[Navi Battle: NumMDS]
HP: 1000
Attacks: Creates three number balls and sends them your way.
         Creates a triangular angle thing that flys into your area.
         Throws a die bomb into your area.
         Whatever you\'ve got in your pack.
Strategy: The ball attack isn\'t too hard to avoid; shoot the one with 
the smallest number on it. The triangle thing will either fly straight 
or circle around your area, so stay clear. Shoot at the dice like mad. 
This guy, like all the others, will have EVERY CHIP YOU\'VE GOT at his 
disposal, so just make a killer folder, it won\'t make a difference.

[Navi Battle: AquMDS]
HP: 1000
Attacks: Shoots a Bubbler at you.
         Creates two pipes that shoot water.
         Hurls a water minibomb at you.
         Creates a single waterpipe.
         Whatever you\'ve got in your pack.
Strategy: When he creates the pipes, they\'ll only shoot water to the 
second-to-last row. Avoiding attacks is generally not a problem. Your 
best time to attack is when the pipes disappear. In all honesty, he\'s 
not too much different from before, except his minibomb is pretty big. 
Also, the single waterpipe can cut off passage from the top row to the 
bottom one.

[Navi Battle: WodMDS]
HP: 1300
Attacks: Shoots out seeds.
         Jumps and hits the ground, causing wood towers to pop up in 
your area, up to three times consecutively.
         Whatever you\'ve got in your pack.
Strategy: Logs will be rolling at you this entire time. Fire chips are 
effective, no doubt. This battle\'s gotten a bit more annoying this time 
around. The attacks may overwhelm you with their all-at-the-same-time-
ness. I guess something about this battle gives Megaman a craving for 
Dark chips. If you\'ve got a Magnum, you can take out the back row and 
stop all of the logs.

[Navi Battle: MtlMDS]
HP: 1000
Attacks: Throws a metal blade around the stage like a boomerang.
         Throws a metal blade straight at you.
         GearChng. The gears appear on your panels, or return to one 
each.
         Fires missiles at your panels.
         Appears in front of you and punches your panel, breaking it.
         Whatever you\'ve got in your pack.
Strategy: The gears are the worst things ever. They\'re always getting 
in the way, and the attacks, consequently, are difficult to avoid. 
Metalman\'s not too easy to hit, either. Try to use large chips that do 
lots of damage. In this battle, interestingly, he\'s really slow.

[Navi Battle: JnkMDS]
HP: 1100
Attacks: Fires screws at you.
         Shoots his arm at you.
         Whatever you\'ve got in your pack.
Strategy: There\'s always trash flying at you, and it\'s way annoying. If 
you shoot it, it will slow down. The combined attacks are extremely 
difficult to avoid. You\'re not going to like this one.

[Navi Battle: PrtMDS]
HP: 1000
Attacks: Moves in front of you and uses WideSwrd.
         Moves behind you and uses WideSwrd.
         Moves to the front row and uses HeroSwrd.
         Uses the Delta Ray Edge. 
         Whatever you\'ve got in your pack.
Strategy: This isn\'t going to be fun. The only time you can hurt 
Protoman is right after he\'s attacked. Stay in the center of your area. 
If he uses WideSwrd, move back one and strike. If he uses HeroSwrd, 
move up or down. Other times, he puts up a shield when you attack. 
Really annoying battle, mostly because there\'s basically no time 
between when he moves to strike and when he strikes. Useful: he\'ll move 
four times after an attack, then move to attack again, unless he uses 
Delta Ray Edge. I think the only way to avoid Delta Ray Edge is to move 
down, then back. He won\'t adjust to hit you, he needs to complete the 
triangle. If you get to the back row before he hits from behind, he\'ll 
stop. He\'ll glint before he does it, but you\'ll have basically no time 
to move.

Once you\'re done with all of that, go into the warp point, then get the 
BMD with 3000 Zennys. Go up to the big mirror to have one last Dark 
Soul battle.

[Navi Battle: MgaMDS]
HP: Yours.
Attacks: Yours.
Strategy: Wow, this guy is crazy fast. This battle should also go 
fairly quickly, though. A few well-placed attacks and he\'s history.

Upon victory, the mirror will give you SoulClen, which lets you become 
light more quickly if you decided to go DS. Talk to the light Megaman 
next to the mirror and you\'ll get HubBatc, which basically gives you 
tons of NC programs at once.

-- The Final Forte --

Once you\'re done with all this, you\'ll have random encounters with the 
king of pain, BassSP. You\'ve got to fight him to truly beat the game, 
so here we go.

[Navi Battle: BassSP]
HP: 3000
Attacks: Shoots all over your panels, mainly at you.
         Slashes in front of you, then behind, then in front again.
         Creates two wheels that spin at you.
         Creates a huge ball to destroy your back two rows. The ONLY 
thing to stop getting hurt is AntiDmg.
Strategy: Good God, this guy is infinitely faster than before, as are 
his attacks. All his attacks are available at the beginning, and he 
likes to do them really fast and all the time. Bring any chips that 
will make this battle a quick one. Time-stoppers are nice, too. 
Remember that while he\'s moving from square to square, he\'s invincible. 
Probably the best advice is to make sure you can stun Bass while he\'s 
using his buster attack. The last two attacks listed are preceded by 
the same shot of Bass holding purple orbs in his hands, and he\'ll use 
them alternately whenever the shot occurs, usually. To avoid the 
supreme destruction attack, head to the front of the top or bottom 
rows. You\'ll need a good deal of skill/practice/luck to win this one.

When/if you win, you\'ll get DeltaRay/DarkAura (BM/RS), the fourth of 
the five GigaChips, and another symbol on your title screen.

-- Almost Done... --

You should have four symbols there right now: one for beating Duo, one 
for six souls, one for 150 Standard chips, and one for beating BassSP. 
You need three more: one for all the Mega Chips, one for all the 
GigaChips, and one for all the Program Advances. The final GigaChip is 
being sold by a BugFrag merchant in Undernet 4 for 100 BugFrags; it 
should be SignlRed/HlyDream. You can get the rest of the DS Navi chips 
from GMDs in Black Earth. Good luck with the other MegaChips and 
Program Advances.

-- One Final Task --

Once you\'ve got seven symbols on that title screen, you\'ve got one last 
thing to do. Head yourself to the asteroid once again and take on Duo 
for a surprise.

[Final Battle: Duo Omega]
HP: 3500
Attacks: A pink mine will come out, waving over two rows.
         A missile will shoot at you.
         He\'ll punch his fist, which will hit a 2-by-2 area.
         He\'ll swipe at the back two rows, then the front two.
         A laser will come out of his chest, hitting the center row, 
then rings will hit the rightmost row, then the second-leftmost, then 
the second-rightmost, then the leftmost, then it will repeat.
         He\'ll punch the ground numerous times, cracking random panels.
         He\'ll fire an image of a face, cracking the first two rows.
Strategy: Someone\'s looking different. Mines and missiles are moving 
faster now, as is the ring attack, so it\'s pretty difficult.

Once you win, you can watch the ending, then see an extra picture once 
you\'re done. Congratulations, you\'re done!

5 - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I get all of the banners?
A: You\'ll get the Jomon and Hotel banners automatically during the 
game. For the others, talk to the Mr. Progs in the Castillo PC and 
Mayl, Dex and Yai\'s PCs.

Q: How do I open those Purple Mystery Data?
A: Go buy an Unlocker subchip from someone (like the guy in Castillo), 
then go stand next to the PMD and use the Unlocker.

Q: Where are the expansions for the NaviCust map?
A: One can be found in a BMD when you jack into the chariot statue 
outside of the Colosseum. The other is on one of the larger square 
areas in Undernet 2.

Q: I didn\'t play through all the scenarios in your walkthrough! What 
did I do wrong?
A: You didn\'t do anything wrong. You\'ll only play through three 
scenarios in every tournament. When you play Game 2 or 3, you\'ll 
encounter different ones, most likely.

Q: I\'m playing through the Coldman scenario, and I can\'t find Lava 
Stage K!
A: It doesn\'t exist. You want HeatBrth K. Go to the Netopia Area 
merchant and buy one.

Q: How do I get across those tiny paths? Will I need the Press program 
again?
A: Luckily, you will not. There\'s a handy thing called a C-Slider that 
you can get that will let you cross them. Buy the BordPart in the lower 
part of Town Area 2 for 2000 Zennys. Buy the JetParts from a Navi in 
lower Town Area 3 for 3000 Zennys (go through Park Area 1). Get the 
WingPart in Yumland (Navi under a slope) for 4000 Zennys. Go to 
NetFrica Area and take the northern exit to Sharo. Talk to the orange 
Navi. Head to Sharo Area and find the door to unlock for 500 Zennys. 
Talk to the girl behind it to get the C-Slider.

Q: I\'m done with the game! How come I only got three souls?
A: On your first playthrough, you\'ll only get three souls. When you 
play through on Hard mode, you\'ll get two more, and on Super Hard mode, 
you\'ll get the last one.

Q: What are the odds of getting a specific soul?
A: Game 1 - 100% chance of Gutsman/Aquaman
            50% chance of other souls
   Game 2 - Den/City Battle - 66% chance of the other soul
            Eagle/Hawk - 50% if Den/City Battle soul obtained, 100% if
                         not
            RS/BM - 0% if two souls obtained, 100% if not
   Game 3 - 100% chance of last soul

Q: What\'s the difference between Game 1, Game 2 and Game 3?
A: On Game 2, you\'ll start with your stats the same as they were, with 
the NC, money, BugFrags, all intact. Also, all the viruses will be 
replaced with their level 2 versions (Mettaur --> Mettaur2), and Navis 
will be more powerful. Game 3 will be the same, with level 3 viruses 
and even more powerful Navis.

Q: I just beat the game on Super Hard mode (Game 3), and I get an 
option for Game 4. Should I play through a fourth time?
A: No. Instead, you should continue with Game 3, getting the P.Driver 
P.A. and entering Black Earth and all that.

Q: When are you going to finish the walkthrough?
A: I don\'t know. Please don\'t ask.

Q: Can I host your walkthrough on my website?
A: E-mail me that question and I\'ll give you my answer.

Q: You forgot to mention this./I have a tip for doing this./How do I do 
this, because it\'s not in your FAQ, but should be?
A: E-mail me concerning any of the above situations. Remember to put 
\'MMBN4\' somewhere in the subject line so I know what you\'re talking 
about. Always double-check to make sure my FAQ doesn\'t answer your 
question, because 90% of the time, based on what I\'ve seen, it does. If 
you e-mail me asking a question that\'s not in my FAQ because that 
particular section is incomplete...just don\'t, because the odds are my 
answer is \'I don\'t know.\' Soon I will know all, and you can e-mail me 
then.

Anyone else I forgot when Word was broken, I\'ll look into it in a bit.
