Megaman Legends 2
Note: This game is also titled Rockman Dash 2.
Hard and easy modes:
After completing the game in normal mode, both hardand easy modes will be unlocked. In easy mode, you do not needto bother updating your digging license; your first license willallow you to go into all ruins. Additionally, the lady at theDigger's Guild will not let you take the test. Also, Zenny foundwhen destroying Reaverbots are worth more, while shop prices areless and Bosses are easier.
Hint: Easy money:
Simply find an empty can and kick it into the nearesttrash can.
Get the Flame Barrier and an S Class Licensee then go to the PlanetElysium. Go into the defense area and proceed until you find aReverbot that is flying above you. Do not kill it -- it will makethree flaming Reverbots. Kill them and the flying Reverbot willmake more. Repeat to get as much Zenny as needed.
In Saul Kada Ruins, keep on going forward to the end of the room,then enter. From a distance you can see two Missile Reverbots,left and right. Destroy them both, then go down where you destroythem. Hold R2 and then walk around until you spot a flyingRevabot. Stand in front of it. Keep R2 held. It will openits mouth and usually drop 4000 Zenny. Run up and down the screenand search for it. If you are quick enough, in 15 to 20 minuteyou can get 500,000 Zenny.
When you kill a Reaverbot or anything else, go directly in themiddle of the explosion while it is blowing up. You will not gethurt, and you will automatically get all the Zenny without itspreading all over.
Go to the ruins where the fourth key was held. Have the VacuumArm on and get to the fifth floor. Take out the missile bot inthe center, then just run around destroy all the bots that appear.Use the Vacuum Buster to get the money so you do not get damaged.You can get over 100,000 Zenny in 10 to 30 minutes. This willhelp get more energy packs and upgrades faster.
Go to the Manda Island ruins after you get the class S licenseat the gallery or digout. Then, equip the Vacuum Arm and go backto the ruins, as long as you have already destroyed the firstbreakable wall with the Drill Arm. There will be a large birdstatue (only if there is a chest at the beginning of the ruins).Kill it to get 6,500 Zenny with no guild license, 8,000 Zennywith the first level license, or 10,000 Zenny if you have a classS license. After you destroy the statue and get the Zenny, gothrough the door, then turn around and go back out through thedoor. The bird statue will appear again. Defeat it from the door,and once it starts exploding get very close to the door. Immediatelyafter you get the Zenny with the Vacuum Arm, go back troughthe door. Repeat this to get as much money as needed.
Go to Calbania and go out the door of Shu's place to see two redReaverbots. Destroy them both to get 5000 Zenny. Go out and comeback in and they will be there again.
The Reaverbot Eye that you buy from the man in Saul Kada can besold to the owner of the junk shop in Yosyonke. Go through theback door. He will offer you 100,000 Zenny, but hold out for 300,000Zenny. Do not ask for 500,000 Zenny or he will turn you down andwhen you ask him again, he will only offer you 10,000 Zenny.
After opening the ruins on Nino Island, go to floor B2. Therewill be some plate-shaped Reaverbots. Destroy and collect Zenny.Escape and repeat. Note: The Drill Arm would be useful.
There are two trash cans in Yosyonke, each with an empty sodacan nearby. The trash can next to the general store gives you200 Zenny when you kick the soda can into it (with Squareor Triangle). The trash can behind the doctors office givesyou 1,000 Zenny when you kick the soda can into it.
Go into Professor Barrel's room on the Flutter. The bed and oneof the desks or dressers will have Zenny in them.
Hint: Getting concealed Zenny:
Zenny may get stuck in the wall or on a mountain fromtime to time. To get the Zenny (Refractor Crystals) off the wallor side surface, simply stand next to it and jump. The Zenny willfall off the wall and you will land on top of it.
Hint: Side roll:
Press R1 + Jump to roll to the rightor L2 + Jump to roll to the left. This is the mostuseful way to evade an enemy's attack.
Hint: Rapid fire:
Hold Square and rapidly press Forward.This is very helpful in acquiring the Class S License, againstthe time consuming purple things. One disadvantage is that youwill have difficulty dodging against the fast ones. However, overallthis is very good against slow and immobile ones. You will notneed to upgrade your energy and rapid after learning this.
Hint: Invincible to electricity:
If you wear the Hover Shoes, you will be invulnerableto electricity.
Hint: Very Hard mode:
Acquire the Class S License and successfully completethe game.
Hint: Jet Skates/Hydrojets:
While skating, hold Up to increase or Downto decrease the speed. Press L1 to for a medium left turnor R1 for a medium right turn. Hold Down + Left+ L1 for extreme left cornering and Down + Right+ R1 for extreme right cornering.
Hint: Getting the Jet Skates:
Use the following trick to get the Jet Skates quickly.In the first ruin where you have to save Joe, get the old hoverjets. When you first go down, take the path on the right, thengo straight into the room. The jets should be in that room. Afteryou save Joe and go to the surface, go to the Junk Shop and buythe Roller Board. Take this to Roll and she will make you theJet Skates.
Hint: Getting the Drill Arm:
Get the Heavy Gear from the box to the right of theSulfur-Bottom when you head to Bluecher. It is directly in frontof the door to the right. You also need the Blunted Drill fromthe pottery barrels to the right of the building next to the ruinwith the first key.
Hint: Drill Arm in combat:
Use your Drill Arm on Bosses, such as the three jellyfishor Bola and Claymore. A fully powered up drill can destroy themin seconds, and works against any enemy that you can reach atpoint blank range. It also destroys tough normal enemies withone hit, and uses little to no power. It is also incredibly cheapto upgrade.
Hint: Getting the Cleated Shoes:
Complete the Train level then go back through the train'sentrance. You should run to an area with one box and will getthe Spike Chip.
Hint: Getting the Zen-Blade (Zero's Blade):
After answering the mayor of Manda Island's set ofquestions, talk to her again. She will offer The Zen Blade foran amount of Zenny or answering 100 questions. After doing eithertask, you will receive a tool that Roll can change into the blade.This weapon is only good for close attacks but is not very powerful.Press Triangle(3) to perform the Z blade three hit combo.Note: This requires a lot of energy.
Hint: Cheaper Final Buster upgrades:
Megaman can buy his Final Buster upgrades cheaper inPokte Island if you do not allow the buildings to be destroyedor if you paid to have them be rebuilt.
Hint: Saving Data:
At the start of the game, when you have to save Datain the fire, allow the fire to hit you until your life gauge turnsred. Roll will turn on the sprinklers and you will not have todo any work.
Hint: Defeating Bosses:
For any Boss, a good strategy is to equip a specialweapon that you can run with while shooting, such as the MachineBuster. If possible, take a Hyper Cartridge. Run around them usingthe sideways run, turning to adjust your path every once in awhile. Along with jumping, you should be able to avoid most ofthe attacks. Shoot the special weapon to wear them down, and useyour Buster to finish them off. Note: If you have the Laser, itis much more useful than any other weapon. Note: If you are fightingSera, wait until it is in the second form to use the special weapon.
Hint: Defeating Reaverbots:
Successfully complete the game under the very harddifficulty setting. Start a new game and look at your Buster parts.You now will have the Accessory Pack Omega, which maxes out allof your abilities.
Hint: Defeating Shielders:
If you shoot a Shielder with any high impact weapon,its shield will be blown away allowing it to be hit more easily.
Hint: Shark tactic:
Lock onto an enemy by holding R2 (or whateveris configured) and hold Square (fire) or Triangle(special weapon) while holding either Left or Right,This works best on Bosses -- most of their attacks will soar past.If you see a homing projectile soaring your way, roll and/or jumpand then continue to perform the "Shark tactic". Itis recommended that the special weapon "Homing Missile"or "Shining Laser" be ysed when fighting a Boss. Everynow and then a Boss may bypass this trick and fire directly infront of you -- for example, during Tron Bonne's first attempt(Crab Bot). Note: This tactic does not work on Crab Bot when sheis performing her "Machine Gun Spray" attack (when shespins and keeps firing). Also, it will not work on Sara in eitherform.
Hint: Black Megaman:
Find a pig near the home of Shu and her brothers onCarbania Island. Keep on kicking the pig and Megaman will getdarker, then the pig with a couple of kicks/throws later. Note:If you do this you will not be able to take the Mayor's Quiz onManda Island.
Nguyen and Toi Truong.
Megaman can turn black by killing the two running yellow animalsin Yoshyokne Town, at the location with the broken train stationand the house (at the beginning of the game) outside the city.Megaman cannot aim at themm but his shots can hit them. They canbe killed with a couple dozen of shots.
On Nino Island in Danger Room 2, shoot the cannons until theyexplode. People will be lying on the ground. Pick them up by pressingTriangle and throw them off the edge. Do the same to theperson who does not have a cannon that says "Hot".
Hint: Pig:
After destroying Glyde's base, Shu will give you apig. Sell it for 5000 Zenny. Do not give it to the girl on NinoIsland, as she will eat it, which is what Shu told you not todo.
Hint: Picnic Lunch:
Talk to Roll on the Flutter and pay the 4,000 Zennyto fix the kitchen and other areas Data burned in the fire atthe beginning as soon as possible. Not only can you get the BrokenMotor after it is fixed, but you also can talk to Roll and shewill say "There's something I want..." She will askfor a new refrigerator. Buy it for her, then exit the Flutterand re-enter. Go to the second floor and to the kitchen area.Check the refrigerator and you will get a Picnic Lunch, whichrefreshes all of your life gauge. After you use it, you can returnand get another. This way you can always have a secondary Canteenavailable. Use the Picnic Lunch first, so you do not have to usethe expensive Canteen. Remember to use it only after down to nothing.
Hint: Cut down trees:
After the train event in Yokeshstone, go to where theexplosion is located. Look for trees. Equip the Drill Arm andhit the tree. It will either blow up or fall down.
Hint: Energy level:
Do not panic when you have about three hits left onyour life bar. No matter how low you are, until your energy baris flashing red, you are good to go. As long as you have evenless than half an energy "click" left in your life gaugeyou still have two hits, and not one. This should prove helpfulduring long levels and Bosses
Hint: Avoid burning or freezing to death:
You can never burn or freeze to death if you are inthe red with shield and on fire. Wait for the fire (or ice) togo out, then use your Canteen. Note: If you go out of fire andget hit by the "tongue" of fire or ice via a Shielder(or anything else that may set you ablaze, such as lava or icepits) again, you will be terminated.
Hint: Refractor values:
Refractors are found after destroying Reaverbots thatare not on the test or "Refractor Bosses".
Small silver Refractors: 5 Zenny
Green Refractors: 25 Zenny
Yellow Refractors: 50 Zenny
Pink Refractors: 150 Zenny
Light purple Refractors: 250 Zenny
Purple Refractors: 500 Zenny
Hint: Special Refractor values:
These are found after defeating a previous Boss orBosses in certain ruins in the room after the defeated Boss.
Refractor B: 30,000 Zenny
Refractor A: 50,000 Zenny
Refractor S: 100,000 Zenny
Hint: High ledge:
Go to the underground water dungeon under the littleIsland that was attacked by Glyde and the Birdbots gang. Get towhere Roll says that there is a place very high up. Use the followingtrick to get up to the high platform. Have the Hydrojet equipped,which enables Jet-Skate underwater. Then aim forward and holdUp while Jet-Skating in order to get to the other sideof the platform. Although it looks far, it will work because youhave a greater chance to get height when underwater.
Hint: Elysium Residential Area: Path throughthe light:
On the beginning Island, you will see some portalsopen and some closed. Look at your mini-display-map at the top-leftside of the screen and go to the portal until you on the map (theblue arrow) is pointing as close to directly up as possible. Enterthat portal. Point the blue arrow on the map again and go up.There should be a flaming Reaverbot or two walking around. Defeatthe bot(s) and point the arrow on the map right. More Reaverbotswill be on this island. Take another right. Now go downward. Thereshould be three Reaverbots marching around. Now, turn left andthat should be the end of your trek. Go inside the building tosave.
Hint: Elysium: Easy Zenny:
After you find the giant refractor in the defense areaand use it to power the elevator on the Central Area, you canreceive easy Zenny by killing the three yellow Reaverbots. Youcan destroy them easily without taking damage by jumping on topof the gates. Usually the Reaverbots will just run around thegate, trying to hit you. Just destroy them and collect the over6,000 Zenny each one rewards. Return to the Shuttle Bay Area viathe elevator, return, and repeat.
Hint: Nino Island: Killing enemies:
On Nino Island, where you get the second key, you cankill the three jellyfish-like Reaverbots and the gigantic redfish-like Reaverbots very easily. After you flood the floor, walktowards the small passage where you must place a metal block ona button to pass. Very near to it, you can find another door leadingto another elevator. Go up using the elevator, activate the computersystems to drain the water from the floor below, and return. Now,the red fish-like reaverbots harmlessly flop about, allowing youto destroy them to receive lots of Zenny. Along with this, thethree jellyfish cannot move at all. Just shoot yellow energy spheresaround, which are very slow. Kill them for more Zenny, along withthe key.
Hint: Pokte Village: Flying Mega Man:
When in Pokte Village, if you do not allow the buildingsto be destroyed or you paid to have them be rebuilt, enter theshop and purchase a model of the Sulpher Bottom. Give this toRoll and she will put it in her room. Go in there and jump onthe model from underneath. Mega Man will hold on and start flyingaround the room.
Hint: Yoshyokne Town: Duck:
Go to Yoshyokne Town (the snowy place) and look aroundthe city. You will eventually find a duck. If you can jump ontop of it (overhead view helps) you can use it as a skateboard.While you are on top of the duck, press Square to kickand the duck will start moving with you on it. To change direction,press L1 or R1 and kick.
Hint: Zero poster:
Enter Yosolonke's Item Shop and go near the back ofthe store to see a poster of Zero with his Black Armor.
Hint: Megaman television show:

At the beginning of the game when you are with Roll,try to grab her with the lifter arm. She will slap you and causedamage.
Hint: Megaman Legendsmusic:
Go to the Manda Island ruins (not caverns) to hearmusic from the original Megaman Legends Ruins. For musicfrom the Sub-Cities go to the Digout in Nino Island and enterthe elevator.
