Megaman X6 Cheats

Megaman X6

Note: This game is also titled Rockman X6.

X's Ultimate Armor:
Press Start at the title screen, then pressLeft(3), Right at the main menu before startinga new game. A sound will confirm correct code entry. You willbegin the game with X's Ultimate Armor, which is very much identicalto the same armor from Megaman X5.

Nightmare Zero:
Press Start at the title screen, then pressL1(3), R2 at the main menu. A sound will confirmcorrect code entry. Start a new game. When you rescue Zero afterdefeating him in battle, you will play as the Nightmare versionof Zero. Nightmare Zero has all of Zero's normal moves, but heis much more powerful.

Hint: Zero:
Find Zero with the teleporters and fight him. He willjoin you after he is defeated.

Hint: Easy attack with Zero:
Press Attack and Dash continuously withZero.

Hint: Zero's best attacks:
First, you have his normal three slash combo. Thisis best used with the first two slashes repeatedly and is doneby tapping X(2), wait until he begins to put his weaponaway about a second later, then tap X(2) again. Keep doingthis as many times as needed. Instead of using his spinning jumpslash which engulfs his whole body, use his normal jump slashwithout the double jump. Ensuizan, however, is one of his bestattacks. It is basically the jumping spin slash wherever you wantit.

After gaining the Fire attack for Zero, just attack as you normallywould except tap his slash attack two times and on the third timeuse his Fire attack.

Hint: Slash combo with X:
This trick can be done with any of X's armors exceptthe Shadow Armor. Go to the controller configuration screen andturn on the "Auto-Fire" feature. Play the game normally.Whenever you want to make slashing combos, make sure you are notdirectly next to a wall and have a comfortable position for Dash(R1 recommended). Hold Slash as soon as the sabertouches the ground, but before it starts to get small, press Dash.This will cancel the slash and start a new one. You can use thistechnique to perform slash combos similar to Zero's from MegamanX4 and Megaman X5.

Hint: Stronger Z-Saber slash:
When using the Blade armor for X, instead of pressingTriangle, use Up + Square.

Hint: Nightmare effects:
Each effect is neutralized in almost in all cases bythe same weapon it comes from. In the case of the raining magma,blow it up with ShouenZan or Magma Blade. For iced floors, useHyoroga/Ice Burst. For gnats, use Yammark Option. For iron blocks,use Metal Anchor/Rakukojin. For soul spirits, use Laser Shield.Finally, red crates can be blown up with SentsuiZan/Ground Dash;black and blue ones can be moved with the same weapon. The rainand the spotlights cannot be neutralized.

Hint: Blade Armor parts and locations:

Boots: Amazon area. After falling into the first cave you willnotice a path behind a Praying Mantis Maverick at the bottom ofthe drop.

Helmet: Central Museum. In one of the random totem pole areas.

X-buster: Weapons Center. After defeating the gigantic Maverick,a portal will appear. Once inside the portal, go left insteadof right.

Armor: Laser Institute. At one point in the level, you will seea laser activated door in the floor. Direct the laser to it andopen it. Inside will be a large system of lasers to correct. Oncefinished. you will open another door in the floor. Drop down andgo left (you can go through the wall). Jump across the ledge beyondthe wall to find the capsule.

Hint: Blade Armor special abilities:
The Blade Armor can perform a powered Mach Dash bypressing X(2). The longer you hold X and/or theD-pad, the farther he will dash in that direction. Itspecial attack is firing two waves of two Z-Sabers in the directionhe is facing.

Hint: Falcon Armor special abilities:
Its special attack is a fully charged X-Buster blastthat falls all over the screen.

Hint: Shadow Armor parts and locations:

Body: In Rainy Turtloid's stage, when you get to the inside ofthe tree trunk, there are five narrow passages with spikes onthe ceiling and floor. Three are on the left side and two areon the right side. The upper right passage leads to the ShadowArmor body program. You will need the Blade Armor and use theMach Dash to get through the narrow passageway. Make sure to releaseRight or you will walk into the second set of spikes. Repeatthis to go through the second set of spikes.

Leg: You find this in Blizzard Wolfang's stage. Shortly, afterpassing the area with vertical avalanches and pillars of ice youhave to stand on, you will reach a downward slope to a ladder.Above the ladder is a ledge. Zero can double jump to that ledge.X with the Blade Armor can Mach Dash straight up and land on theledge.

Arms: You find this in Blaze Heatnix's stage. After the secondmini-Boss Donut Mechaniloid, you will get to a vertical area withan upper and lower door. You will notice the ceiling is quitehigh above the upper door.

Head: If you have not come from Metal Shark Player's stage, youwill need the Blade Armor's Mach Dash ability to get to the armorcapsule. You must climb either the left or right side of the verticalchamber. Once you see the left or right ledges, dash jump offthe wallm then Mach Dash upwards and land on the ledge. Continueto climb up, and you will see the capsule.

Hint: Shadow Armor special abilities:
The Shadow Armor has Hydroga as its special jump. Italso allows you to touch, walk on, and climb on spikes withoutgetting hurt. Its giga attack is Z-Saber becoming released andcircling around him. Shadow Armor can perform Hydroga, by pressingUp + X.

Hint: X's armor special abilities:
Zero can perform a double jump by pressing Xat the top of the first jump. The special attack is a RaynokaBlast fall from the top left to the top right of the screen.

Hint: X's Ultimate Armor special abilites:
Its special is the Invincible Dash. Press X,then X again. You will be invincible while performing anypart of it, and it does not use GigaAttack energy.

Hint: Easy Nightmare Soul gain:
After defeating all eight Mavericks, go to a stagethat you can get to the teleporter fairly quickly and easily (suchas Infinity Mijinion). Get to the Boss (not the main one, theone where you fight Zero or High Max). You should find Dynamothere. Get next to him and use the Meteor Rain attack (Ensuizanfor Zero) twice. Dynamo should drop a Nightmare Orb worth 200Souls. You can make him do this three times before he goes awayfor a total of 600 Souls. You can do this as many times as youneeded.

Hint: Defeating Blaze Heatnix:
Immediately as the battle starts, magma flows up fromthe bottom of the screen. Find a ledge. After you hit Blaze Heatnixa few times, the lava recedes and comes down from the top of thescreen. You now have the little space below the ledges; so useMeteor Rain to kill Blaze Heatnix quickly.

Hint: Defeating Gate:
Use the Magma Sword on Gate when he throws his spheres.Hit the spheres so that they explode and turn into smaller spheres.They will hit him back.

Note: To reach Gate, defeat all eight bosses, or enable the "X'sUltimate Armor" code and defeat him the first time you fighthim after the Crazy Maverick. Whenever you defeat High Max, Gatesstage will automatically be open. The best way to pass the spikesat the start of Gate's level is to use the Zero or the ShadowArmor. When in the second area in which magma apperas from thebottom of the screen, run under the opening in the ceiling anduse Hydroga with Zero or the Shadow Armor. When you are by thewall, grab it and climb. The Gate Sub Boss #1 is weak againstMetal Anchor and Giga Attacks. If you can get X up to him, usethe "Storm Eagle" trick for heavy damage.

Hint: Defeating the Giant Maverick:
For the first battery. equip AutoCharge, then dodgeuntil you are fully charged. When fully charged, shoot the littlered gem. On the way to the second battery, a tracking system targetsyou. If it locks on, wait until it shoots, then jump. For thesecond battery, use the same tactics as done against the first,except there are lasers that shoot at you from the side walls,and the targeting system is still activated.

Hint: Defeating High Max:
After getting Zero, go through the teleporters andfind High Max with Zero. Make sure to have both Sub-tanks fullbefore facing him. Use the Sharks weapon with Zero. Take yourtime facing him -- it takes awhile to figure out his attacks andhow to get close to him.

The following trick requires the Ultimate Armor and Zero in yourparty. Charge up Ultimate Armor X's Buster and fire it at HighMax while he is blinking. Then, immediately use the Giga Crushon him. Three or four hits are required to kill him. When youwin, you can skip all the Bosses and go directly to Gate's level.

After acquiring Zero, choose the Falcon Armor at the characterselection screen. Go to the teleporters to High Max. Before hefires the three waves of energy balls, hit him with a fully chargedBuster Shot. This will make him vulnerable. Afterwards, hit himwith any special weapon (they take off the same amount of damageon him). After you hit him, he will either chase you with a shieldon or fire a huge ball. To dodge the shield chase, just duck.To dodge the ball, jump on the wall and over it or him. Repeatthese steps until High Max is defeated. You do not need to findall of Dr. Light's armor parts to defeat him. After you win, anintermission sequence will begin and you will have access to anew level, the Secret Laboratory.

Use the following trick to defeat High Max with Zero and no subtanks. This strategy requires that you obtain more than half theheart tanks for Zero. It also helps if you have a sub-tank. Whenthe fight begins, dash to the other side of High Max, making surehe fires four fireballs by the time you are at the corner, andfour more while you climb up the wall. Then, dash to your leftand use Magma Blade to paralyze him. Next, jump and attack him.He will get injured and fly up. When he descends, he will do oneof two things. If he appears to be charging a ball with his fist,double jump over him and then use Magma Blade while he is in thebottom corner of the field. Use the Z-Buster, as it takes moredamage. If he surrounds himself with something, he will be invincible.This takes a lot of damage, so stay away from corners as you willreceive no damage if you duck. Repeat the process until his lifeis low. He will surround himself with some fireballs and bombardyou non-stop with them. Just jump and keep performing Ensuizan(Down + Triangle) This will result in some damageand eventually he will die, as he only does this attack when lowon health. Note: Do not try to fight High Max in Blizzard Wolfgang'sstage as it will be more difficult and you cannot to jump on thewalls because of the ice.

To defeat High Max with the Shadow Armor, get close to him andhit him with a charged attack. This makes defeating High Max inthe final level fairly easy, and any other time you face him.

To defeat High Max with Zero (whether Nightmare or not), you mustfirst obtain the weapon from Blaze Heatnix. Get close to HighMax then use Shoezan (Up + Attack). This will stunhim. Then, just attack, either with his Jumping Spinning Slash,his Jumping Slash, or his combo. It should not take too long todefeat him, and if you dodge High Max's attacks well, you shouldnot need anymore than just Zero with the Shoezan.

Hint: Defeating Infinity Mijinion:
Note: Zero is required. First, destroy the doors thatpower Illumina. Then when the crystal appears, keep running tothe right. You will reach Infinity Mijinion's Boss doors. Then,just use Zero's Z Blaster until Mijinion has been defeated.

Infinite Mijion's weakness is the X-Buster that Zero has. Do nottry to use specials. Instead, turn on Rapid Fire. When the battlestarts, just start blasting (pressing Square recommended).When you blast him against the wall, jump over the opponent infront of you, as he is a fake, and blast the one by the wall.

Hint: Defeating Rainy Turtloid:
Equip the Blade Armor and Ultimate Buster part. Firethe Ice Weapon and Mach-Dash up. You will fire icicles and onewill hit Turtloid in the head, freezing him and causing heavydamage. The fully-charged ice weapon is Turtloid's only weakness;the Ultimate Buster, which fires all fully-charged shots, makesthis a lot easier. if you do not have it, use Quick-Charge instead.

Hint: Defeating Zero:
The Z Saber that you are given as a secondary weaponis his weakness. Zero's special attacks will be neutralized andhe fades out and reappears on the other side of the screen.

Hint: Defeating Bosses:

Commander Yammark: Ray Arrow
Ground Scaravich: Yammark
Blaze Hentnix: Ground Dash
Blizzard Wolfang: Magma Blade
Rainy Turtoid: Ice Burst
Metal Shark Player: Meteor Raiin
Shield Shelden: Metal Anchor
Infinity Mijinion: Guard Shell
Dynamo: Meteor Rain
High Max: Magma Blade
Gate Boss 1: Metal Anchor
High Max: Magma Blade
Gate: Invinsible Dash or Shadow Armor Giga Attack
Sigma 1: Metal Anchor
Sigma 2: Ground Dash

To easily defeat any Boss or mini-Boss, enable the "X's UltimateArmor" code. Get to the Boss and use Giga Attack two or threetimes. Also, use this strategy to defeat High Max. Hit him witha charge shot while he is flashing, then immediately use GigaAttack on him. Do this three or four times to kill him.

Hint: Storm Eagle appearance:
Play as X, and charge up the Metal Anchor all the way.When released, a metallic version of Storm Eagle from MegamanX1 will rain down on your enemies.

Hint: Sting Chameleon appearance:
When fighting Metal Shark Player as Zero, he will usea move and Sting Chameleon from Megaman X1 will appearand attack.

Hint: Magna Centipede appearance:
When fighting Metal Shark Player, he will sometimescall Magna Centipide from Megaman X2.

Hint: Blast Hornett:
When fighting Metal Shark Player, he resurrects Reploidsfrom previous MegaMan X games to help him. He will rarelycall up Blast Hornett from Megaman X3. Blast Hornett firesa large wave of mechanoid hornets at your character when he issummoned. After a few waves he will disappear.

Hint: Keep the charge in the Magma Blade:
Equip the Falcon Armor then enter any stage. Selectthe weapon and charge it. Then, release Square. Hold Squarejust before the birds appear and you will keep the charge. Note:This only works when X is in the Falcon Armor.

Hint: Getting the Shadow Armor's Body:
When trying to get into the part with all the spikes,jump then wait until you are in between the top and bottom rowsof spikes to use the Mach Dash. You should use X to do the MachDash after jumping and release all buttons at the time so youdo not hit the second row of spikes. After making past the firstrow, rescue the Reploid and repeat the procedure for the nextrow of spikes. Do the same thing to get out.

Hint: Transporter to High Max/Dynamo inthe Inami Temple:
In the tree, there are passages with spikes. Thereare three on the right, and two on the left. Go to bottom oneon the left and do the Mach Dash (Invisible Dash for X's UltimateArmor) and you will fly into it.

Hint: Virus advantages:
When playing as X, if you get hit by the Sigma Virusesyou obviously will lose health. However, when playing Zero, hewill gain full health if this happens. This is very useful whenrunning very low on health when playing Zero.

Hint: Super high jump:
While you are using the Shadow Armor or have the IceAttack with Zero, hold Up and press Jump while youare dashing. You will do the normal high jump, but you will bedashing as in a Dash Jump.

Hint: Stop roof from lowering in MetalShark's stage:
You can stop the lowering roof by getting the big robotand walking through the level. At one point you will see a largegarbage pile. It is the tallest one. Jump up there and get outof the robot. The roof will only go down until it hits the robot,and you can easily make it to the lower area.
