- INTRODUCTION -
 ==============


This guide is best viewed in 800x600 screen resolution, in size 10 font, in 
Wordpad. This guide is designed to fit in Wordpad default settings.

This guide follows the names that are used in the Japanese version of Rockman 
Zero series, not the American or Europe version.

The main focus of this guide is on the mechanics of the game. It is recommended
that you get at least one other walkthrough if you need strategies or tips.

A lot of the information here came from Rods Website. If you can read Japanese,
you can try going there.

Currently, there is no walkthrough. Only the Recipe is out.

================================================================================


- Weapons -
***********


- Buster Shot -
---------------

Details:
- The Buster Shot is a long range weapon that fires bullets directly forward 
  in a narrow coverage. Charge up to fire larger and more powerful shots.
- All shots cannot pass through solid walls/floors.
- Half-Charged Shots and Full-Charged Shots may pass through enemies if the
  Shot manages to destroy the enemy. Normal Shots may not pass through enemies
  at all. All Shots cannot pass through enemies that they did not managed to
  destroy.
- Zero can fire up to 3 shots on screen at one time. Zero cannot fire more 
  Shots if 3 Shots are already on the screen. Zero may fire again after the 
  Shots disappear from the screen. 
  (May be enhanced to 4 Shots with Cyber Elf Shootas.)
- Zero may charge up to Half-Charge to use the Half-Charged shot.
  A Half-Charge (green) is approximately 1/3 time of a Full-Charge (yellow).
- The effects of deflected shots are visible. (Does not apply for EX Skills.)
- Using the Buster Shot will not affect Zero's movements. Zero can continue
  actions normally while using Buster Shot.
  Recovery is almost immediate.
- A Ground Dashing Normal Shot will deal damage of Attack 1.5 instead of the 
  usual Attack 1.


- Normal Shot:  (Applies to all Normal Shots except for Ground Dash.)
     Attack 1           Combo Value 0

- Ground Dash Normal Shot:  (Applies to only Ground Dash Normal Shots.)
     Attack 1.5         Combo Value 0

- Half-Charged Shot:  (Applies to all Half-Charged Shots.)
     Attack 3           Combo Value 1

- Full-Charged Shot:  (Applies to all Full-Charged Shots.)
     Attack 6           Combo Value 1


- Z-Saber -
-----------

Details:
- The Z-Saber is a close range weapon that has wide coverage. Each Slash has 
  varying slash pattern, and speed. A Full-Charged attack activates a 
  high Geyser.
- There are different slashes for different situations, such as Standing, 
  Dashing, Walking, etc. Range patterns and recovery differ for each Slash.
- Standing and Dashing slashes have longer recovery time.
  Walking slash have quick recovery. 3rd stand slash have very slow recovery. 
  All the other slashes are pretty average in recovery.
  Each Slash has their own speed and recovery time.
- Using the Full-Charged Slash while Standing, Jumping, Bar Hanging, 
  Wall Clinging, will all have the same effects. 
- Using the Full-Charged Slash while Walking or Dashing will end up with 
  Zero Standing.
- When using an Air Slash (Jump Slash, Jump Spin Slash, or Full-Charged Slash), 
  hold the "Down" direction to keep the Saber extended in another attack. 
  This is the Extended Air Slash. This will last until Zero lands, or until 
  you let go of the "Down" direction. It has a different Attack from 
  a Normal Jump Slash.
- When using an Air Slash (Normal, Spin, or Charged), hold the "Down" direction 
  to keep the Saber extended in another attack. This is the Extended Air Slash.
  This will last until Zero lands, or until you let go of the "Down" direction. 
  An extended Air Slash is non-elemental, even if used after a 
  Full-Charged Attack. It has a different Attack as a Normal Jump Slash.
- Zero will continue to move forward a little while using Dashing slash.
- When using Walking Slash, Zero may continue actions normally without 
  affecting his actions. Recovery is almost immediate.
- With the exception of the Full-Charged attack, all Saber Slashes count as 
  Cutting attacks. (Including EX Skills and Cyber Elf effects.)


- Walking Slash: 
     Attack 3           Combo Value 1

- Dashing Slash: 
     Attack 5           Combo Value 1

- Wall/Ladder Slash: 
     Attack 4           Combo Value 1

- 1st Standing Slash: 
     Attack 4           Combo Value 1

- 2nd Standing Slash:  
     Attack 4           Combo Value 2

- 3rd Standing Slash: 
     Attack 4           Combo Value 3

- Full-Charged Slash:  (Applies to all Full-Charged Slashes.)
     Attack 8           Combo Value 1


- Zero Knuckle -
----------------

Details:
- The Zero Knuckle is a low range Weapon that attacks in seperate directions. 
  Charge up for extra Power. This Weapon is used to Assimilate other Weapons
  from Enemies or Objects. This Weapon has special effects on certain Enemies
  or Objects. Use the Directional Button to control the attack direction.
- Normal and Full-Charged Attacks can attack in 4 Directions:
  Up; Upforward; Forward; Downforward.
  Use the Directional Button to attack in these corresponding directions.
- Zero cannot aim the direction of a Normal or Full-Charged Knuckle while 
  clinging a wall.
  The Knuckle Attacks will always be Forward, away from the Wall.
- Zero cannot use any Zero Knuckle Attacks, or an Assimilated Weapon, while
  hanging from a Bar.
- When Zero use the Zero Knuckle on a Bar, Zero will automatically hang on
  to the Bar.
- The Zero Knuckle has certain special effects on certain Enemies or Objects.
  (E.g. The Popplan and Ribops.)
- When the Zero Knuckle destroys a normal Enemy or Object, a temporary Weapon
  will be Assimilated, if it is possible to Assimilate a Weapon from that
  Enemy or Object.
- Normal Enemies may have different parts for Assimilation. 
  Certain background objects may also be possible to be Assimilated.
- When a temporary Weapon is Assimilated, it will replace the Zero Knuckle
  temporarily. 
  The Zero Knuckle will revert back when the Assimilated Weapon is lost.
- There are 5 Classes of Assimilated Weapons. Each class has their own special
  effects. They are:
  Buster; Shield; Bomb; Rod; Saber
- On the Start Menu, you may change the Weapons to remove the 
  Assimilated Weapon and revert to the Zero Knuckle.
- Press the "Select" button with an Assimilated Weapon, to have Zero

  same effects. Using the Throw while Walking or Dashing will end up with

     Attack 3           Combo Value 1

- Full-Charged Knuckle: (Applies for 4 directions,

     Attack 4           Combo Value 1



================================================================================

- Invincibility -
*****************

Only Midbosses and Bosses have Invinicbility. Normal enemies do not have 
Invincibility.

Whenever you Attack and hit a Boss, the Boss will start flashing white, for 
a short period of time. During this period of time, most of your Attacks 
will not Hit or damage him. This is the Boss Invincibility Time.

However, note that it is possible for certain Attacks to continue to Hit
the Boss during the Invincibility Time. This is where Combo Value comes in.

All Attacks have a Combo Value. The Combo Value denotes the Attack's priority
of how they ignore Invincibility.

When an Attack hits and damages a Boss, it will trigger Boss Invincibility. 
For another attack to continue to hit and damage the Boss, this attack has 
to have a higher Combo Value than the previous attack. And for the next 
attack to ignore Invincibility, it must have an even higher Combo Value.

When an Attack Hits and Damages a Boss, the next Attack must have a higher
Combo Value in order to continue to Hit and Damage the Boss, during the
Boss Invincibility Time.

If an Attack has an equal or lower Combo Value to that of the last Attack that
managed to Hit and Damage the Boss, than the attack will not Hit at all.

Attacks like Spin Jump Saber Slash and Burning Shot has hits with varying
Combo Values. Each hit has a higher Combo Value than the previous.

Certain attacks also cycle back and forth through Combo Value. This applies
to the Spin Dash Slash. In the case of the repeated Spind Dash Slash, 
while the attacks are similar in hits and damage, they actually cycle from 
Combo Value 1, 2, 3, and 4, and then cycle back to 1 again. That's how 
it works. It goes from 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2, and so on, as long as you keep 
the attack repeated.



Here are some examples:

E.g. 1
You use a Zero Knuckle attack (Combo Value 1) and hit the Boss. 
The Boss now has Invincibility. You then jump in with the Saber Slash to 
attack it (Combo Value 1). The Jump Slash will not hit and damage the Boss,
since it does not have a higher Combo Value than the previous Attack.

E.g. 2
You can fire a Normal Buster Shot at a Boss (Combo Value 0).
You then immediately use a Full-Charged Boomerang Shield (Combo Value 1). 
The Boomerang will still hit and damage the Boss, even after Invincibility,
since it has a higher Combo Value.

E.g. 3
You start off an attack against a Boss with a Stand 1st Slash (Combo Value 1).
Then a Stand 2nd Slash (Combo Value 2), and next a 3rd Slash (Combo Value 3),
and finally, a Jump Slash (Combo Value 1). The first attack will not be 
stopped, since there is no Invincibility. The second attack has a higher Combo
Value than the first attack, so it will hit too. The third attack has an even
higher Combo Value than the second attack, so it will hit too. The forth 
attack, will not hit at all, since it does not have a higher Combo Value than
the previous Attack.


Note:
-When a Boss is in his Invincible time, and hit by an attack that ignores 
Invincibility, his Invincibility time increases. However, it is hard for me to
determine whether his Invincibility time starts counting at the last hit dealt 
to him, or adds in some time for each hit dealt. It's really hard for me to 
estimate the Invincibility time.

 ===========
- CYBER ELF -
 ===========


- Cyber Elf -

You have one Cyber Elf for use. This Cyber Elf has various abilities, and may
be altered.

In your Cyber Elf Menu, the LV is displayed. This is the Maximum Level of each
Ability Class you can assign. At the Upper right corner, the upper number is 
your Capacity Level. This is the number of Points you can assign without
suffering a Penalty for your Results Ranking Score. The lower number is the
Total Level. This is your Total Assigned Points, currently.

There are 3 Classes of Cyber Elf Ability. The first one with the red Icon 
is Nurse Elf Ability, the second one with the green Icon is Animal Elf Ability, 
and the third one with the blue Icon is Hacker Elf Ability.

Each of these Abilities have a Level. Each Levels of each Class will have
it's own effect.

While you can have the effects of different Classes at the same time, you can
only have one effect from each Class. The effects from one Level of a Class,
will not accumulate with another effect of another Level. Only the effect of
that particular Level will be taken into consideration.
(Exception for Ultimate Mode.)

At the Start, the Level Limit of your Cyber Elf is 0. You can increase this
Level Limit when you speak to Alluet, and spend E Crystals.

Points must be Assigned in order for the effects of the Ability Class
to be active. You Assign 1 Point for each Level of each Ability Class.

You have a Capacity Level. At the Start, your Capacity Level is 0.
As you complete more Missions, your Capacity Point Limit will increase.

During a Mission, if your total Assigned Points exceeds the Capacity
Level, at the end of the Mission at the Results, your Results Ranking Score
will receive a penalty based on the excess of Capacity Level.
Unfortunately, you will not receive a Bonus if your Total Assigned Points is
lower than your Capacity Level.

If no Cyber Elf Abilities are active, the Cyber Elf will not appear at all.
Your Cyber Elf is inactive.


E.g.
(If you have your Cyber Elf Max Level at Lv 3, you cannot assign 4 Points to
a single Ability Class to get a Lv 4 Ability.)
(If you assign 2 Points to Animal Elf Ability, you will have the Lv 2 Animal
Elf Ability. You will not have the Lv 1 Animal Elf Ability. You can activate
a Nurse or Hacker Elf Ability without affecting this.)
(If you have 3 Capacity Level Points, and you assigned 4 Points among the
Cyber Elf Abilities, you will receive a Penalty of 1 Point at the Results
Ranking Score.)


- Alluet -

When you Speak to Alluet and choose Cyber Elf, you have 3 Options.
The first Option allows you to increase the Level Limit, by spending 
E Crystals. The Maximum is Level 7. Note that this is applicable only for
Normal Mode, as the other 3 Modes have fixed Max Levels.

The second Option allows you to changed the Assigned Points. This is already
in your Start Menu.

The third is to speak with the Cyber Elf. This does nothing, except for some
flavor text. As the Level gets higher, there will be more talk. Your Cyber
Elf may give you some clues for Gameplay or Recipe.

These are the Costs in E Crystals required to increase the Max Level for
Normal Mode.

Level 0  -->  Level 1     50 E Crystals
Level 1  -->  Level 2    100 E Crystals
Level 2  -->  Level 3    300 E Crystals
Level 3  -->  Level 4    600 E Crystals
Level 4  -->  Level 5   1000 E Crystals
Level 5  -->  Level 6   1500 E Crystals
Level 6  -->  Level 7   3500 E Crystals


- Game Mode -

In Easy Mode, the default is Fixed at Level 5, and 15 Capacity Points.

In Hard Mode, the default is Fixed at Level 0, and 0 Capacity Points.

In Ultimate Mode, the default is Fixed at Level 7, and 21 Capacity Points.

In Normal Mode, you start at 0 Capacity Points, and your Maximum is 
8 Capacity Points.

(Not counting the Elf Body Chip.)


- Cyber Elf Name -

When you are to receive your Cyber Elf from Alluet, after the Area Zero 
Mission, you are given a chance to Name your Cyber Elf.

Alluet will ask you if you choose to Name your Cyber Elf as Crowarl. If you
say no, you can move around, and ask the other 5 people around. They will each
give you a Name suggestion. There are 6 Names in total. Pick the Name you want
and say yes. The Name you have will last for this Playthrough.

- Ultimate Mode Effect -

In Ultimate Mode, the Effects of Cyber Elf Abilites will stack up.

For the chosen Ability Class Level, the effects of the lower Levels will be
in place.
(LV 7 will take LV 6, LV 5, LV 4, LV 3, LV 2, LV 1 effects.)

However, for Effects that are the same, only the highest will be taken into
consideration.

(This means that only the highest effect can take place. For Nurse Elf LV 7,
you will get 64 Life Points for your Life Gauge, and the effects are not 
accumulative like Life Gauge +4 +8 +12 +16, and then multiplied by 4.)

- PARTS RECIPE -
 ==============


- Parts Basics -

As you defeat normal Enemies, some of the normal Enemies may drop their 
respective Parts. These items have an appearence of a grey square icon with
a wrench. These Parts are randomly dropped, just like other Items.

You can store up to a Maximum of 9 of each Part.

These Parts are used in Recipes, in the creation of Chips or other Parts.


- Recipe Basics -

Speak to Celvo, and choose to create items. 2 Lists will appear in the Menu. 
The first List is Recipe, the second list is Parts. 

The Recipe List shows the Recipes that you have, as well as the Parts 
required to make them. If you have not fulfilled the requirements for the 
Recipe, you will see a Cross Icon. If you have fulfilled the requirements 
for the Recipe, you will see a Circle Icon. If you have fulfilled the 
requirements for the Recipe, and already have the Chip, you will see an 
OK Icon. You cannot build the same Recipe again. For Parts which you did 
not fulfill the requirement, they will be highlighted in red.

The Parts List shows the Parts that you have. You can choose to combine the 
Parts manually. It is possible to create a Recipe manually, even if it does 
not appear on the Recipe List initially. You choose at least 2 Parts, up to 
4 Parts. You can then combine these Parts to create a new Chip or Part. 
A correct Recipe combination will result in the corresponding Chip or Part, 
and the Recipe will appear on the Recipe List. You cannot build the same 
Recipe, if you already have the corresponding Chip. 

Note that a non-Recipe mix, will always result in a Galacta Part.

The order of the Parts Combined will not matter. 
(Note the number you use must also be exact. Suppose you have 2 Items in a
correct Recipe, then you add in a random Part. This will only result in a
wrong Combination, and you get only a Galacta.)

Parts that are used in the combination will be used up.

                                 - SUBTANKS -
     **********************************************************************


Subtanks are initially empty. Whenever Zero recovers an amount of Life when his 
Life Gauge is Full, he will instead add that amount of Life to a Subtank. Each 
Subtank can hold up to 32 Life Points.

Surplus Life Points will not be carried over. If Zero's Life Gauge is not Full, 
and he is recovered Life, extra Life cannot be carried over to a Subtank. 
Likewise, if a Subtank is not full, and it is then given enough Life Points to 
make it full, the surplus Life Points will not carry over to the next Subtank.

If a Subtank has Life Points, you may use it to restore Zero's Life. If you use
the Subtank, one Life Point will be added to Zero's Life, and one Life Point 
will be deducted from the Subtank, and this will keep repeating until Zero's 
Life Gauge is full, or until that Subtank depletes and becomes empty. You will 
not use up the Life Points from the Subtank that are not used to restore Zero's 
Life. All unused Life Points from the Subtank remain as they are.

You may use any Subtank that has Life Points, but when filling up, the leftmost
Subtank has to be completely filled up before it will add Life Points to 
another Subtank.

- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
 ============================


-----

Q: Can I contact you?

A: As of now, I am currently not accepting any emails regarding this Game.
   Kindly wait until I am ready.

-----

Q: Can you tell me where to get the rom?

A: Get out of my face before I kick your *BEEP* !!

-----

Q: Help! I am missing some entries in the Database.

A: For the 4 Sets, Boss, Enemy A, and Character, will be filled, as long as you
   play the game normally, and remember to Speak to the characters. You do not
   have to worry about these 3 Sets, as they are filled automatically.

   For the Enemy B set, which applies to all Enemies, note that some Enemies
   appear from other Enemies. For example, the Bomaiders appear from the Mecha
   Mezon. You need to find all of such enemies.

-----

Q: How do I obtain EX Skills?

A: Unlike before, obtaining EX Skills is no longer dependant on Rank Level.

   Getting EX Skills is now dependant on the Weather of the Stage. You will
   have to Complete the Mission with the Weather favourable to the Stage.
   This is the Normal Weather. This will be highlighted in Red.

   You cannot obtain EX Skills in Easy or Hard Mode.

-----

Q: Where can I find the Maul Roid enemy?

A: This is the Hammer Enemy, that appears only in the Base Camp Rescue Mission
   which appears after you have completed 4 of the Boss Missions.

   This is the only time where it appears, and you cannot revisit this Stage
   again in the same Playthrough.

-----

Q: How can I destroy the Poor Elf?

A: You need to Assimilate one of the Lighting Units with the Zero Knuckle.
   Use these Lighting Units to force the Poor Elf away from you. You need to
   force a Poor Elf into the Sunlight to destroy it. You can only do this in
   the Sunny Weather.

   Apparently, this is not possible in Hard Mode.

-----

Q: Where is the Ceramical Chitan?

A: This is a Part that does not have an Enemy. You find it in various Stages.

-----

Q: Which method is the easiest to get E Crystals?

A: Go to Random Bandom's Stage. Just go to any of the rooms where the
   Crossbines appear. The Crossbines appear infinitely. Make sure you have
   Hacker Elf LV 5, than attack them.

-----

Q: Which is the best way to get Ceramical Chitan Parts?

A: Go to Craft's Ragnarok Control Centre Stage. From the start, do a Dash 
   Double Jump to the right, and grab on to the bars. It is within reach.

-----

Q: How do I get into the electrical door in Fenriy Luna-Edge's Stage?

A: At the start of the stage, notice that there are 2 paths you can choose to
   take to continue? You have to take the lower Path. If the Weather is
   Snowing, the lower path will be blocked by Ice. You will need to use either
   Heat Genblem's Shouenga EX Skill, or Assimilate a Weapon from the 
   Variant Fire, to melt the Ice. Continue down the Conveyor Belts. You will 
   see a Hikyal Nicos C. This one, is carrying a Key Card. Assimilate this 
   Enemy with the Zero Knuckle.

   Make sure you keep this all the way to the Electrical Door. When you get
   there, attack door side with the Card Key, and you can open the Door. 
   Inside is a Subtank.

-----

Q: Do I need to make all Chips to get Ultimate Mode?

A: No. You just need all Parts, and your Cyber Elf at LV 7.

-----

Q: Are there any ladders in this game?

A: No. All ladders are removed. Instead, you have handhold bars.

-----

Q: Help me! I can't read Japanese! I can't tell Part from Part, and the Recipe
   keeps failing!

A: Get a Japanese Dictionary, and try to identify the Katakana. Try and match,
   and see which reading matches the one closest to what I have listed.

   If you still have difficulties, check the Parts List and Database List that 
   I have as well, and make the comparisons yourself.

   That is all the help I can give you. You can't honestly expect me to tell
   you how to identify each and every part and read for you every single name!

   If you don't know Japanese, it's your own problem, sorry.

   I can't help every guy out there who doesn't know Japanese, and I can't help
   him identify each and everything!

-----

Q: The names that you use are wrong.

A: That is for me to decide, not for you to judge.

   For the US and Europe Version gamers, let me make it perfectly clear to you
   that I am writing based on the Jap version, so whatever names that they used
   for the US and Europe Version WILL NOT MATTER TO ME! Would you like to 
   argue about Elpis / Elpizo and Megaman / Rockman too? Whatever your 
   theories are, I don't want to hear them.

   For those Japanese Literate people, keep in mind that there is no such thing
   as a 100% Accurate translation for the names of People and Places, when you
   translate Katakana to English. You of all people should know that. These 
   translations are subjective. There is no absolute right or wrong. You 
   are not any more right than I am, so don't declare me as wrong! 
   I simply use translations I feel to be correct. What makes you think 
   your translations are right?

-----

Q: I am writing my own guide. Can I use some information in your guide?

A: You must specifically ask me for permission. If you do not have my 
   permission, then you may not use it. Ask for permission first.

   If you take my information without giving proper credit, you are also liable
   to be sued by me. I can take legal actions on you if you do not have proper
   credits. This is not a joke.

   THIS FAQ IS PROTECTED BY LAW. IF YOU USE INFORMATION FROM HERE, YOU MUST 
   SEEK PROPER PERMISSION AND GIVE PROPER CREDIT. LEGAL ACTION WILL BE TAKEN 
   AGAINST YOU IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO.
