Zero's Sabre Slash on Bosses:
Usually you can do up to 3 or 4 hit combo on any Boss.However, the Final Slash will paralyze the Boss for awhile, whichprevents you from slashing it during this time. To avoid this,hit the Boss with a 2 or 3 hit combo and do not use the FinalSlash. It would be better if you used Zero's Supreme Slash.

Hint: Alternate second half:
If you let the colony collide with the Earth (let allthe time run out), an intermission where Zero is infected withthe Sigma virus and becomes a powerful Maverick will appear. Forthe rest of the game you cannot choose Zero and the dialogue changesfor a few of the intermissions. Also, Zero fights more aggressivelyand uses different attacks when you fight him in the third Mavericklevel.

To get this faster, launch the shuttle before you have collectedall the parts for it. This will also display an intermission whereZero goes Maverick and gives you the ending where X's memory ofZero is wiped clean. What you do with the Enigma does not matter.

Hint: Shortcut to Sigma's final stage,area 1:

Note: Make sure to select themiddle box and press Start.

Hint: Easy Zero stages:
The following is an easy way to get through the firstof the three Zero Stages. At the first stage where all the greenlasers that can kill you instantly are, use Dark Hold. It stopsthe lasers and gives you time to get through everything.

Hint: Zero and Bosses:
Do not use Zero in a stage with a Boss. Zero alwaysretires (dies) in the stage.

Hint: Defeating Dark Dizzy:
Shoot the F-Laser with X standing at the center ofthe screen. Guide it under him, then have it turn around and gothe other way. If timed correctly, Dark Dizzy will move into thetail of the laser, but your laser will not be used up. You cando this either under him or beside him. Yolu will have to guesswhether he will move up/down or to the side.

Hint: Defeating second Zero Virus stageBoss:
The Boss of the second of the Zero Virus Stages (thebig face from Megaman X) has three weaknesses. The redand green eyes are weak to C-Shot, the blue eye is weak to GroundFire, and the nose is weak to Goo Shaver.

Hint: Ultimate armor for X or Zero:
Go past all of the spike traps in the third Sigma level.You will reach what appears to be a pit. Slide down the rightside of it until you fall into a room that contains a capsule.Step into the capsule to obtain the armor. When playing as X,you will have to intentionally die and restart the level to useit. Zero will automatically equip it.

Get to the third Sigma level as normal X or Zero. When you getto a hole after some spikes, slide down the right side of thewall until you go through it. Dr. Light will have a capsule withZero's black armor or the ultimate armor. After you get it, fallthrough the hole until the game ends. Go to stage selection anduse the opposite character.

Hint: Get all the armors for X and Zero:
Start the game with X and make sure you have the FourthArmor. After destroying the colony (make sure Zero does not becomeMaverick), go to the third Maverick stage with either X or Zero.After getting the armor, die constantly and go to stage selectionscreen when the game ends. Then, go to the stage again, but withthe other hunter. For example, if you went with Zero first, thengo with X next or vice versa. Look at the left side of the stageselection screen to find the Fourth Armor, Black Zero, UltimateArmor, Gaea Armor (if you have it), and Falcon Armor (if you haveit).

Hint: Falcon armor:

Legs: In Grizzly Slash's area, after the train section in thecaves there is a opening -- use C-Sword.

Head: In Squid Adlers's area, collect all the E. Spheres on thebike ride.

Arms: In Izzy Glow's area, after the spiral stairs, destroy thePlazma Cannon and get the arms once past.

Alternately, use the following directions:

X-buster: Izzy Glow;s area. During the part with the strange thingsin the walls that shoot at you, there is a hole in the ceiling.Climb up and shoot at the wall thing at the top with the C-Shot.The armor is on the other side.

Hint: Gaea armor:

Head: Before Dark Dizzy's chamber is a pit. Go in and use theF-Laser to blow it up from inside.

Body: Just Before the third lift, use the Falcon armor to findthe well hidden Capsule.

Arms: Instead of going up the end vines, keep moving right anduse double jump.

Legs: During the second rope climbing section there is a opening.Fly up with the Falcon armor and get the legs.

Hint: Ultimate armor:
In Maverick Area 3, immediately before the end, isa platform over a pit. Fall, stay to the right, and go throughthe fake wall.

Hint: Armor comparisons:

Force armor (Fourth armor): Obtained at the start of the game.Note: If you chose Zero, you will not get it. Advantages: Chargedshots are more powerful. You can charge special weapons. You canhover in the air for a short time by jumping twice. Disadvantages:Not identical to Megaman X4's version.

Falcon armor: Obtained by collecting the four capsules. Advantages:You can fly for a short time by jumping twice. While flying, youare invincible. Giga attack covers whole screen. Weapon energyis increased. Disadvantages: Cannot charge special weapons. Megashot is very small. Defense is cut in half.

Gaea armor: Obtained by collecting the four capsules. Note: Youcannot get this armor without getting the Falcon armor first,since you need it to reach the capsules. Advantages: Increaseddefense. Charged shot is very instant and powerful. Giga attackdestroys all enemies in front of you. Spikes do not hurt you.You can stick to walls. You can walk on spikes. Disadvantages:Shots do not travel across the screen. No middle charge shot.Very slow. Cannot use special weapons. Fall faster. Regular shotsare weak.

Ultimate armor: Obtained by getting the capsule in the third Zerostage. Identical to Force armor, except you can use the Nova Strikeby pressing R2.

Hint: Enhance Zero's power:
To make Zero stronger, get the capsule in the thirdZero stage (where X's Ultimate Armor is located.) Zero will becomeblack. He can destroy viruses, take less damage, and inflict moredamage. Note: This is not an armor. Zero will remain like this.

Hint: Best weapon:
Use the Gala attack with the Ultimate Armor to havethe best weapon that defeats most Bosses, including Sigma (bothrounds). Keep using that attack, which is unlimited. Be carefulwith Sigma, as he keeps moving around.

Hint: Rank PA:
As Zero, first fight Dynamo after defeating Izzy Glowand some other Boss. Fight Dynamo with Zero using Izzy's weaponuntil he dies. After that, you will move up to GA. The secondtime, fight Dynamo with four or more heart upgrades, and bothE-Tanks and the W-tank full. If you fought in excellent time withabout 19 or less damage, you should get the PA rank. The rulesfor keeping a PA rank are very difficult. If you die twice, orexceed six minutes of game play in the level you will lose it.As X, this can be very difficult at first. You must have all thatZero had and the Ultimate armor. X's rank must be at GA beforethe event. This time, you will use Nova Strike (Giga Attack L2).

Hint: Save a life:
After Zero becomes a Maverick you get a new stage.Enter the stage and climb the wall to your left. Collect the helmet(extra life) located there. When you lose a life, you can getit again and you will have the same lives that you started with.

Hint: Endings:

Start with Megaman and complete the game with him. You will getan ending where Megaman has no memory of Zero.

Start with Zero and complete the game with him. You will get theending where both Megaman and Zero die.

Hint: Megaman X2 battle:
Keep Zero from going maverick and go to the thirdSigma stage as Megaman X. Complete the stage and you will fightZero. Zero has almost the same exact pattern as he did when youfight him in Megaman X2.

Hint: Destroying the colony:
To destroy the colony, get the it as close as possiblewith at least 3 parts -- i.e. the lower the hours, the betterthe chance of destroying the colony with the Enigma.

As Black Zero, destroy the mavericks in this order: Izzy Glow,Squid Alder, Duff McWallen, and Grisly Slash.

Hint: Dash Jump:
Use the following trick to reach a high ledge or jumpto the next wall. Hold Dash and perform a jump to automaticallydo a Dash Jump. This is very helpful, as it also works on walls.

Hint: Raise your speed:
Note: To do this trick you have to be at the thirdMaverick stage. Drop down and go to the part where you face thegreen robot. Stay there and a group of white dots will appear.Face each of them. Keep doing this and your speed pushing buttonswill increase. The best character to use is Zero.

Hint: Virus advantages:
When playing as X, if you get hit by the Sigma Viruses,you will lose health. However, when playing Zero, he will gainfull health if this happens.
