Introduction [INT] ---------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ was made for the purpose of helping people collect missing disks and find items. Use the Ctrl+F to find what you need easier. Note: This IS NOT A SPOILER-FREE FAQ! Although it�s hard to find spoilers in an Item FAQ, reading certain things such as the boss data disk names may spoil the plot. ---------------------------------------------------------- 3a. Foreword [FOR] ---------------------------------------------------------- I would like to address a couple of things: 1. Although there are better methods to getting certain items, I use the earliest available method. For example, you will often see �use Buckfire�s Rockit,� instead of �use Model H�s Air Dash (Up).� 2. If you�re playing a new game and have received Model a, you can substitute any Hedgeshock prerequisite with Model a (unless it involves how far you are into the game). 3. Several items require you to complete the construction at Hunter�s Camp Area 4 as well as buy a shelf. In order to do that, pay the construction worker until you reach your third room (1500EC). He�ll ask you to find a pickaxe. Go to Quarry Area 1 and find the pickaxe next to the fake max life energy to the left of a ladder. Give the construction worker the pickaxe and leave the building. Return and the fourth room will be available. Talk to the guy and he�ll ask you to buy a shelf. Go to Transport Train Area 3 and go to the stores. Talk to the guy with glasses to buy a shelf. Return to the man at Hunter�s Camp Area 4 to finish the quest. ---------------------------------------------------------- 3b. Name Changes [NAM] ---------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Capcom of America, names from the original Japanese version have been changed when translated into the English version. Here's the list: Japanese English Rockman = Mega Man Live Metal = Biometal R.O.C.K.* = M.E.G.A.** Rock On = Megamerge Falseroid = Pseudoroid Deerburn = Buckfire Condorock = Vulturon Kaisemine = Queenbee Tesrat = Hedgeshock Tethys = Thetis Helios = Aeolus * R.O.C.K. = Rebirth Of Crystallised Knowledge System **M.E.G.A. = Meta-Encapsulated Granule Awareness System Rockman to Mega Man - Rockman was a reference to Rock and Roll (in the Classic series, Rockman had a sister named Roll). However, when brought over to America, the name was thought to be a dangerous reference to drugs and was changed to Mega Man. Rock On to Megamerge - Rock On, another reference to Rock and Roll, was the phrase used to transform but was changed to Megamerge since the name Rockman was changed to Mega Man and therefore it wouldn't work well. Tethys to Thetis - The pronounciation is similar, but since the names of the four Mega Men in the Japanese version were references to Saturn's Moon (not sure about Helios, though), the Japanese is more likely to be Tethys. Thetis, although not one of Saturn's moons, is a sea nymph in Greek mythology, so his name still fits with his water attribute. Helios to Aeolus - Since Helios was the personification of the sun in Greek mythology, they decided to change it to Aeolus, the ruler of winds (also in Greek mythology), so that the wind element from Model H would fit in with his name. ---------------------------------------------------------- 3c. Location List [LOC] ---------------------------------------------------------- Since many players can familiarize the stages by their bosses, this list will help players identify which stage is which. Location................Stage Boss ---------------------------------- Hunter's Camp...........None Train...................Buckfire Arctic Ice Floe.........Chronoforce Tower of Verdure........Rospark Oil Field...............Model F Atlas Legion HQ...............Model P Siarnaq Scrapyard...............Vulturon Control Center..........Queenbee Highway.................Model L Thetis Floating Ruins..........Model H Aeolus Quarry..................Model ZX Vent/Aile Bio Lab.................Bifrost Mysterious Lab..........Hedgeshock Waterfall Ruins.........Argoyle and Ugoyle Ouroboros...............Albert Stages generally have 3 or 4 areas. Use the Rough Map on the touch screen to locate which area you�re in. Use the Detailed Map to see how far you are into the area. ---------------------------------------------------------- 4. Power Ups [POW] ---------------------------------------------------------- Power ups are items found in stages that permanently change your stats. They are: Life Up: Extends life bar by 4 units. Biometal Upgrade: Extends Biometal bar by 4 units. Sub Tank: Extra life energy will be stored in Sub Tanks. Life bar may be restored using the stored life units in the Sub Tank. Holds up to 30 life units per Sub Tank. Note: In Expert Mode, Life Ups and Sub Tanks are replaced by max life energy, while Biometal Upgrades are replaced by large Biometal energy. Only one Sub Tank is available through Expert Mode, which is obtained from the Floating Ruins quest. Note 2: There's a medal that requires you to only hit Vulturon with Model A's Giga Crush. Since it takes more than one Giga Crush to defeat Vulturon, it is recommended you do not get any Biometal Upgrades until getting Vulturon's Gold Medal. This is because the more Biometal Upgrades you have, the longer it takes for the Biometal bar to refill. ---------------------------------------------------------- 4a. Life Ups [LIF] ---------------------------------------------------------- Location: Forest Tower Area 3 Prerequisite: None How to get: There�s a pillar of blocks that fall when you try wall climbing it. Go underneath and wall jump with Model A to the right of the pillar. Climb up to the top to get the Life Up. Location: Control Center Area 1 Prerequisite: None How to get: Before the elevator, there�s a rope leading up. Use Rospark, go up the rope, and enter the door. Climb up the wire while avoiding the fire shooting blocks. At the top left is a Life Up. Location: Scrapyard Area 2 Prerequisite: Vulturon (optional) or Queenbee (optional) How to get: At the second set of three doors, take the right door. Use either Vulturon�s Hover or Queenbee�s Fly to maneuver through the spikes. Alternate Method: Before the three of doors is a spiked gate and a bar that opens the gate. Pull down the bar with Model P and climb over. Change to Chronoforce and use his Time Bomb. Switch back to Model P and hurry over to the third door. Slide down the wall before the spiked gate closes. Location: Waterfall Ruins Area 2 Prerequisite: None How to get: In the second part of area 2, go left and swim up a waterfall using Model L. Enter the hidden door at the top. ---------------------------------------------------------- 4b. Biometal Upgrades [BIO] ---------------------------------------------------------- Location: Oil Field Area 2 Prerequisite: Model F How to get: At the beginning of area 2, use Model F�s Ground Breaker to break the pipes. Follow the path right until you reach it. Location: Highway Area 1 Prerequisite: None How to get: Later in the area there are blocks underneath the road. Use Model F�s Megaton Crush to break these until you reach a switch. Use Chronoforce�s Time Bomb and switch to another form. Hit the switch, then hurry to the other side. Alternate Method: Attack the switch with either Queenbee�s Needle Shot, Model H�s Plasma Cyclone, or Model A�s Giga Crush, then enter. Location: Quarry Area 3 Prerequisite: None How to get: While being chased by the mini boss Crushpactor DD, use both Model F�s Megaton Crush to break the blocks quickly and hurry to the right. The Biometal Upgrade is surrounded by blocks and is over a hole. Only destroy the side blocks so it doesn�t fall. Alternate Method: Use Vulturon and do Guitar Hammer while using Hover underneath so that it drops on Vulturon. This method is too troublesome and isn�t recommended. Lockedg3's Method: If you outrun the crusher, exit the room, and back track, you can still get the Biometal Upgrade without having to worry about the crusher chasing you. Location: Biolab Area 2 Prerequisite: None How to get: There�s a block you can lift that blocks the water drainage. After pulling it, push it back in with another form.

Old Balancer: Climb up the left wall in area 3 with Model H, break the blocks with Bifrost�s Ice Bite and follow the path. userzagger has found two alternate methods to get the Old Balancer early without Bifrost: Queenbee Method: Climb directly above the cave where you talk to the girl. Change to Queenbee and fly to the left while staying near or at the top of the screen. The two Pulse Cannons will stun you, but you'll be able fall on the Pulse Cannon and reach the cave. Vulturon Method: Climb directly above the cave where you talk to the girl to find a blue platform. Board it and recharge your Biometal bar until you have about 16 units (full bar in Expert).

You should reach a spot with two Pulse Cannons and the cave with the Old Balancer. 4. Light Bulb: In area 4, fall down the right hole while hovering with Model H.
