0. Introduction\______________________________________________________________
Greetings, and welcome to my Rock Man Zero 4 FAQ! My name is Aeon17x, and I'll
be your tour guide for this game. With this article, I'll try to do my best
into helping you beat the latest addition to the MMZ series. Why would I do
that? Simple -- I love this game, and I believe the best way of showing it is
by assisting fellow Mega Man gamers through the path to victory. =)
As of the time of this writing, there is still much to be learned from this
game... so any comments, suggestions, and corrections would be highly
appreciated. Drop me a line through my inbox or visit the GFAQs RMZ4 forum.
http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gentopic.php?board=925724
I'll just hang around there, together with the veterans who would gladly
help you on your way. That said, let's get started!

3. Controls and Player Interface\_____________________________________________
Take note: I know nearly nothing about the Japanese language, so please don't
shoot me if I interpreted something the wrong way. ^_^'
On the first time you start the game (assuming you bought it brand new), you'll
be presented with the following options on the title screen:
> New Game
(Continue)
Enemy Database
(Minigames)
You wouldn't see the Continue and Minigames options if it's your first time
playing. Of course, the Enemy Database won't contain anything as well, so let's
see the first option for now.
Easy Mode
> Normal Mode
(Hard Mode)
(Ultimate Mode)
The difference between the two is that enemies need a lot less effort to kill
in Easy mode, and you also get nine lives and two full sub tanks right from the
start. Your Cyber Elves are pre-grown to level 5 as well.
The default controls are nearly the same as the ones you used in the last game.
Left, right button - move Zero horizontally; quickly tap twice to dash
Up button
- climb ladders, enter doors, talk to other characters
Down button
- descend ladders, slip through platforms with A button
A button
- jump; stick to a wall to perform wall jumps
B button
- fire primary weapon; hold R while firing to use 2nd weapon
L button
- dash; combine with A button to perform dash jumps
R button
- activate secondary weapon; see B button
Select button
Start button
- discard current enemy weapon (Z-Knuckle function)

- pause the game
Now this is an ASCII art preview of the screen you see when you pause the game:

I'll explain the slightly different Elf system on Section 5. Cyber Elves, and
in the appendices.
__________
4. Weapons\___________________________________________________________________
Z-Buster - same as the previous game. By default you can only have three
shots on screen, and can be charged up to two levels. Buster EX
skills allow you to shoot different projectiles.
Z-Saber
- same as the previous game. By default you can perform a three-hit

combo and a charge attack. Saber EX skills allow you to execute
different saber moves.
RMZ4's weapon system is different from its predecessors in that you don't
have a built-in rod and shield anymore. Instead, Cerveau enhanced your very
own hands, and turned it into what we call the Z-Knuckle.
Z-Knuckle - a new weapon for this sequel. By default you can hit enemies with
it for relatively low damage (compared to the Z-Saber). However,
whenever you do kill an enemy with it, it's possible that you will
get a part from them to use in combat! For example, you can take
a Met shield from a Metall, a spread shot buster from a Cannon
Hopper, etc. You can also use it to dislodge objects in the
environment, which can be useful to open up new paths and uncover
hidden items.
For a list of Z-Knuckle weapons, go to Section 10.1.
______________
5. Cyber Elves\_______________________________________________________________
RMZ's cyber elf system is unlike the one we knew from MMZ1-3. You don't have to
go out of your way to search for all those elves; instead, you can now talk to
Alouette who will feed this one super cyber elf (who can copy the abilities of
the other cyber elves) as you collect E-Crystals. By doing that, your elf will
gain levels:
Lv0
Lv1
Lv2
Lv3
Lv4
Lv5
Lv6
->
->
->
->
->
->
->
Lv1:
Lv2:
Lv3:
Lv4:
Lv5:
Lv6:
Lv7:
50
100
300
600
1000
1500
3500
(150 total)
(450 total)
(1050 total)
(2050 total)
(3550 total)
(7050 total)
Every time you level-up, you also earn three more cyber-elf powers. However,
you can only use one cyber elf power from each category at a time (i.e. only
one Nurse, one Animal, and one Hacker can be active altogether).
Furthermore, your Elf Total (sum of the levels of your equipped elf) must not
exceed your Elf Capacity; otherwise, you will receive penalties on your Elf
score on your current mission. You are free to use higher-than-allowed elf
levels as you want outside of a mission though.
For a list of Cyber Elf effects, go to Section 10.2.
_________________
6. Weather System\____________________________________________________________
Now for something that is totally new for this game: the weather system. I'm
not sure why this works (because in Soviet Neo Arcadia, weather changes YOU!),
but I could tell you how to use it.
After you have entered the boss selection screen, but before you proceed into
the stages, you have the option to 'change the weather'.
Proceed with Mission
> Change the Weather
Choose Another Mission
You'll know that you got the right weather for that specific stage if the
border is flashing; if you didn't, then the border will be gray.
Why is this useful? Well, it changes the very environment of the stage you're
going to, which leads to some interesting possibilities. For example, if you
visit the Air Conditioned Park while the weather is bad, clouds will block
your view and the wind will be strong enough to push you back. But if the
weather is sunny, then the clouds and strong wind will not be present.
It doesn't stop there. The weather also affects the boss' behavior: it would
only use its EX skill on you if the weather is suited to its element. And if
you defeat it in that condition, you will win its EX skill. In some way this
comes as a relief, as you no longer have to struggle to A/S rank just to get
the EX skill.
For a list of EX skills, go to Section 10.3.

7. Chip Creation\_____________________________________________________________
In MMZ3, we used to acquire our chips by finding Secret Disks, or defeating
the bosses. Not anymore. This time, we create them from the spare parts of
normal enemies you've killed. Preview:

You'll know that you got the right parts when you see its name on the second

Just combine the parts within Cerveau's lab and voila, the chip is yours.

8. Intro Story\_______________________________________________________________
[from the Rock Man Zero 4 intro, as translated into English. Credit to gngfn
of the Planet Mega Man forums (thanks dude!). You can find more of his work
here - http://poke.dyndns.org/rmz4/rmz4.htm]
Repliroids...
Those are the robots
created long ago
to be as much like humans as possible...
Those Repliroids
given personalities
with their advanced technology
worked on humans' behalf
and walked together with humans.
They should have become
the best partners...
But...
On the opposite side of a time that had flowed peacefully,
the gears between humans and Repliroids
quietly
began to grate...
As a result of their being
exceedingly similar to humans,
Repliroids at times
opposed humans.
Humans feared the
dangerous Repliroids
of that kind,
calling them "Irregulars."
The Repliroids who had become Irregulars
were retired
at the hands of similar Repliroids...
That was the solution
that humans came up with...
For the Repliroids who
tried to protect the humans who were their masters,
there was no margin for choice.

Thus, with no idea when it would end,
a violent war began with
their Repliroid comrades.
They racked up many battles...
Time passed...
Even though the Utopia of the humans
who had been protected by Repliroids,
Neo Arcadia,
was completed,
the fighting didn't stop...
Thanks to the Irregulars pursuing their cause,
Neo Arcadia's
leader was defeated.
And now...
The place once known as Neo Arcadia
is controlled
by the criminal
Doctor Vile.
There is no longer any trace
of the humans' Utopia.
The place they could call "safe" is gone.
There are not many humans left
who left that place...
Yes...
Again, we too...
When a caravan
made its escape from Vile's control...

9. Walkthrough\_______________________________________________________________
So here it is, what you've downloaded this file for (right?): the walkthrough!
Whether you're reading this from the start, or you're just checking some part
in the middle for a stage/boss you're stuck in, I hope that you'll be back
on track after reading this. Yeah.
This walkthrough is written on Normal mode. Whatever I write here may or may
not work on Easy or Hard mode. I also say that this is not the best way to
beat the game; this is just the way I found that works. Your mileage may vary.
Load your game now...
______________________________________________________________________________
> Intro Stage 1: Trailer Defense
(9.1)
MISSION: Secure the caravan by eliminating the enemy threat.

ENEMIES: Valiant*Fire, Lamproid X, Ark Cannon, Gyro Cannon H, Beamwalker
The moment you gain control of Zero, don't rush into the action just yet:
change your weapon and controls as you see fit. I recommend that you swap the
buster for the saber, but keep the Z-Knuckle: it's a fun weapon to have.
Now move forward until you meet your first enemy: Valiant*Fire. These guys
fire bullets that leave a flame upon contact with a surface: dispose them
quickly with a dashing slash.
Carefully jump into the next truck. Wait for the Lamproid to turn around and
quickly kill it with the Z-Knuckle to get a Lamp Burner. After that, board
the truck after it and go into the hole in the trailer to gain an extra life.
Drop into the gap after that to earn a large E-crystal.
Discard your Lamp Burner (press Select) once you see some cargo boxes and
use your knuckle on one to get three Burst Bombs. Spend these sparingly on
enemies you don't want to get near to (Lamproids, Ark Cannons). Try to
preserve a full set until the end of the level.
Once you have changed vehicles, just dash forward while dodging the missiles.
If you're running low on health, destroy the main body of the lone Gyro
Cannon H, but leave the propellers intact. Jump into it and press Up on the
handle to take a ride upwards and snatch the two health capsules to the left.
If you want to finish the next boss fight quickly, do not charge your saber
beforehand. I have a faster way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - SubDesert Core! (2 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
burst bombs
attacks:
- Big Blue Lasers
- Wave Beam
- The core glows before sending out three consecutive

BBL's. Dash under those and wait until its over.
If you have nothing on your Z-Knuckle, then you
could try yanking out the blue wires below the core
to disable this attack.
- The core releases two streams of energy balls that
follow a wavy pattern. Stay in between the streams.
strategy:
- The boss sends out some Beamwalkers across the ceiling and the floor
when it's doing nothing.
- Remember when I told you to keep those Burst Bombs? That's because this
boss takes 1/2 life bar damage for every bomb! If all those bombs
connect, you'll need no more than two three-hit combos to wrap this up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the mission, you'll automatically proceed to the Resistance Camp. Save
your game when it asks you, or you can talk to Ciel later and choose the
'Save' option.
Operator
> Ciel
> Manage Data
Talk
> Save Data
Load Data
Erase Data
Afterwards, go out and turn left to Cerveau's laboratory. He'll talk for a
bit, then you're free to go. Return to Ciel's command room for another
intro mission.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Intro Stage 2: Area Zero
(9.2)
MISSION: Investigate what's going on in Area Zero.

ENEMIES: Molgul, Medyu Hopper, Popplan, Yadokaroid, Ark Cannon, Beamwalker,
Teribomb, Cannon Hopper, Gyro Cannon H
Yes, this stage counts as an intro as well. Weird, isn't it?
Other than the gorgeous scenery and amazing music (which you'll find an even
better version of in the official Rock Man Zero 4 website), the first stretch
of the level doesn't offer much. Just zoom past everything and kill those who
block your way; you have better opportunities to collect parts later in the
game. Be careful of the Popplans as they can snap at you even if you dash
jump over them; use the Z-Knuckle to kill it.
You'll meet some Yadokaroids upon leaving the forest: to score a kill, you
must get rid of the shell *and* the robot inside, which you should use the
Z-Knuckle on to get an Aim Shot. Although weak, it's a useful subweapon
since it automatically aims towards the nearest enemy and is infinite.
Anyway, fall down the waterfall at the end and turn left to claim the two
large E-crystals.
Once you get inside the ruins, maneuver through the enemy fire and hit the
Teribomb to send it away, hopefully to the Ark Cannons on the wall. Grab
the lift and send yourself up. Board the sliding platform and let it propel
you over the spikes, or you may dash towards the ceiling to obtain an
extra life and a large health capsule.
After that, just jump over the spikes and hold the rails until you reach
the wall with a Gyro Cannon H and some Ark Cannons. Your Aim Shot should
blast them off without putting yourself in trouble. Enter the boss door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Carnage Force 0! (3 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Giant Punch
- Not a threatening move, as you need to position yourself right into his fist to be hit.
- Multi Missile - CF0 launches multiple missiles to the top of the

screen, which then lands in waves moments later.
- Green Circles - CF0 positions itself on top of the screen and fires
five green circles at a time.
strategy:
- The object you're going to hit in this boss is its head, so stay close
to it and do three-hit combos if it's not firing anything. Charged
slashes take too long to execute and do less damage overall.
- When CF0 is doing its Multi Missile attack, hide underneath the
platforms while the missiles are overhead, and go back to slash it again
after it passes. About the Green Circles attack, stay at the wall
opposite the robot. It repeats its pattern after that. Shouldn't be too
hard to take down, despite its long life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After you have been introduced to Kraft (the green dude who has a slight
resemblance to Axel of X7) and his gang, you're back to the Resistance Camp.
This time you should pay a visit to Alouette in room 001. She will give you
the super cyber elf I was talking about in Section 5 (its name is Kurowaaru,
which translates to 'Clowall' or something). Hirondelle in room 002 also has
a purpose in this game, but that'll come much later.
This time you could pass through the guard to the right and enter the human
village of Area Zero, which shelters Neige (the orange haired chick you
rescued earlier) and her friends. A cutscene will ensue. After that you'll
be back in the Command Room to choose any of the eight bosses to kick the
crap out of.

Before proceeding, you might want to do any of these chores:

1.) Feed the elves up to at least Lv2 (or Lv3, if you're patient with
e-crystal collection). See the Cyber Elf appendix for more info.
2.) Talk to everyone in the human village *twice*. Some of them have
something to give to you, like chip recipes. And don't destroy their
water tank.
3.) Return to Area Zero and collect some robot parts (and e-crystals, too),
particularly two Beamwalkers, one Cannon Hopper, and one Gyro Cannon H.
You'll know you're getting robot parts when you pick up a wrench icon
after you have defeated them.
For information about the parts, consult the Parts List in the appendices.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Underground Forest
(9.3)
MISSION: <no specific mission objective>

ENEMIES: Valiant*Fire, Molgul, Ark Cannon, Bombsect, Beeneran, Gyro Cannon H,
Ee*Laser
WEATHER: Sunny
This is the stage to show off the potential of the Z-Knuckle.
The stage starts in what seems to be a fine morning in the middle of a forest
-- too bad this is a game. Greet the incoming Valiants with your saber, and
enter the door in the middle of the tree. Drop straight down and stay close
to the wall. Now there are some vines that block your path; yank them off
with your Z-Knuckle. See those plants on the ground? Pull them out as well.
You'll reach a path split not too far after that. The lower one has some
vines and one large E-crystal; the upper one has some spikes on the walls,
but it also has a large energy capsule and three E-crystals. I say you seize
them both.
Either path you take, you'll eventually start going up a wall. But look at
a certain patch that looks more fragile than the other parts of that wall.
Wall jump and slide on it until it gives way, and you'll get an extra life
inside. From there, just climb up, making use of the rails. Charge your
Z-Saber before going in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MINIBOSS FIGHT - Fire Rainant!
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Flamethrower - The miniboss walks around the whole room (including the
walls and ceiling) while shooting off flames from its
mouth. Cannot be deflected.
- Egg Bomb
- Once the miniboss is in low health, it will start to lay

eggs that have a short time delay to explode. You can
pick these up with your Z-Knuckle if you're curious.
strategy:
- This guy is very easy to deal with. Two hits from a charged saber will
cause it to change direction, so all you have to do is to stay in front
(not directly, but on a 90-degree corner) and whack it before it turns
its body. You could also chase after its back, but it releases Egg Bombs
from there at low HP, so you better be at the front.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now be very careful in the upcoming section, as there are a LOT of spikes on
the way down; don't hold on the rails for too long as they crumble after a
few seconds. Fortunately, that's the only hard part of the level. Don't go
through the door yet when you reach the bottom; slide through the wall to
the left again to get a Ceramic Titanium.
Destroy the first Gyro Cannon H, but don't completely annihilate the second
one; keep the propellers intact so you can ride on them (press up). On the
top of the narrow spike-filled shaft are two large E-crystals and a Sub Tank.
We got a Sub Tank this early! Woo-hoo! =D
From there, it's easy. Discard any Z-Knuckle weapon you have and dig through
the vines if you want to instantly fill up your newly procured Sub Tank with
a full energy capsule. Don't do anything stupid across the rails, and jump
your way into the boss door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Nobel Mandrago! (2 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Dig
- Mandrago will just drill into the ground/ceiling. No

one gets hurt but her as you slash her apart while
she's drilling.
- Mandrago Spin - Mandrago stretches her arms and spins around the floor.
Stay up the wall to dodge this.
- Mandrago Heal - Mandrago sparkles for a bit. During this time, she
heals a bit of her HP. Don't try to attack her when she
does this as she's invulnerable for that short period.
- Nectar Splash - Mandrago throws around three nectar balls. If one of
these stick to you, your jumping abilities are bogged
down, and some bees will come in and bite you.
- Seed Planting - Mandrago throws some seeds (which look like Venus fly
traps) into the wall and ceiling. If these succeed in
planting themselves, they'll turn into plant versions
of traps or cannons. The seeds and the plants can be
pulled out of the ground, or slashed if fully grown.
- Tsuibangeki
(EX SKILL)
- The same as Mandrago Spin, but this time she does it in

mid-air, and there are rock projectiles when she lands
on the floor. Once again, stay on the wall.
strategy:
- As you see, Mandrago is a plant. So we'll do what we did to the other
plants we (used to) know earlier in the level: when she shows herself
from the ground or ceiling, pluck her out with the Z-Knuckle. This will
stop whatever attack she's doing and do moderate damage. Keep on doing
that while dishing out three-hit saber combos if she's on the ground,
or charged hits if she's on the ceiling, and she'll whither soon as long
as you hurt her more than she recovers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I'll explain something I overlooked - the stats screen at the end of a
mission. Example:

with the right weather. If you do,

you get 10 full points.
Back to the mission. You get Mandrago's EX skill, Tsuibangeki, if the

weather is sunny. It replaces your non-elemental downward slash with a
non-elemental downward STAB that throws out rocks when it hits the ground.
Great for you Sephiroth wannabes out there. =)
______________________________________________________________________________
> Populated City
(9.4)

ENEMIES: Cerberus, Bombsect, Medyu Hopper, Triaformer, Cannon Hopper,
Megamezone, Eledeserter, Bomaider, Hecrysta, Metall, Cross Vine
WEATHER: Sunny
Yeah, the weather is supposed to be sunny... but it's nighttime. -_-'
One more thing about elves: you elf capacity increases by 1 for every main
boss you defeat (not counting minibosses and the bosses in the intermission
and final stages). So for now, equip Nurse Lv1 or Animal Lv1.
Proceed to the right and kill everything you meet while dash jumping over
the spikes -- nothing special, other than the Cerberus (robots on wheels),
which you might want collect some parts from later on. Charge your buster
before entering the next room, and release it on the Medyu Hoppers in the
hallway.
You'll be in a room filled with spikes on the floor and some rails above.
As usual, grab the handles to transport yourself over the spikes, but try
to destroy the Bombsect first (it'll explode eventually, and the projectiles
might hurt you) before proceeding.
The room after has blocks that can move around by themselves, and it simply
sucks if you got squished by one. Take your time here, because the last
retry point is way back in the beginning.
Soon you'll be back outside to face the miniboss. Reequip your Z-Knuckle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MINIBOSS FIGHT - Ribops! (8 plugs)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- <none>
strategy:
- Actually, you don't have to pull the plugs; any method that could destroy
other enemies will work. It's just that it's much faster if you would
just your knuckle. What makes this difficult is the enemies around,
particularly the Triaformers, which aims three sparks to your direction.
Very annoying if it hits you while you're climbing the walls. Otherwise,
this is a very simple miniboss, and you don't have a time limit so no
rushing is needed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whole structure crashes down once you defeat it. From there, it's a long
winding path with Cannon Hoppers, Megamezones, and Metalls (o_O). Then
you'll be in a vertical shaft with spikes on the floor and walls, and moving
blocks. One slightly difficult puzzle here looks like this:
|
|[]
|
|[]
|
|[]
|
|
|
[]|
|
[]|
|
|
Looks familiar? Those blocks move to the opposite wall

regularly. There are many methods to go through that without
going splat, but here's an easy one: position yourself above
the first block on the left, and when the blocks switch,
hold the right button and jump. You'll be on the second block
then. Repeat until you're on the fourth or fifth block, and
it should be easy to dash jump your way out of there.
No, it's not over yet. The next room is filled with rails and spikes again,
and an enemy called Cross Vine. There is an extra life on the top left
corner, and a Ceramic Titanium on the platform. The boss room is in the
upper right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Purpura Cockapetri! (2 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Jump
- What? Chickens can't fly. >_>
- Feather Shed - Cockapetri jumps up and sends out feathers that float
down. Can actually damage Zero.
- Tackle
- Cockapetri runs a short distance toward you, even if he

bumps into a solid wall.
- Green Blobs
- Cockapetri throws out three green blobs to your

direction. Only the middle one is aimed directly at you.
- Egg Lay
- Cockapetri releases an egg which will hatch into a

small chick that could also damage you.
- Time Stopper - There are two versions of this attack: (1) Cockapetri
(EX SKILL)
shoots a green projectile that freezes you on contact;
jam your buttons to break free, or let yourself get hit.
(2) Cockapetri jumps up high and flashes a light on
whole screen -- you will be frozen, and you can't escape
this. Afterwards, he will spin around and distribute
green blobs which will fall down as you unfreeze. Dash
to the few free spots that won't have a green blob
falling on.
strategy:
- This boss doesn't move around much, and even if it does, it's through
jumping and mindless ramming. You can do three-hit combos on this guy
without worrying about a serious counterattack. The floor also rises
every now and then, and it hinders him much more than you. Just dodge
his projectiles carefully (especially Time Stopper v1) and you'll be
just fine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After completing the mission, return to this stage for a minute and collect
three Cerberus parts. Submit them to Cerveau to get the Quick foot chip,
which increases your running speed by 25%. This has the same effect as
Animal Lv1 and the effects don't stack, so remove the elf point on that.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Scorching Particle Cannon
(9.5)

ENEMIES: Refbeamer, Valiant*Missile, Ark Cannon, Gan*Ga*Gahn, Beamwalker,
Valiant*Fire, Lamproid X, Faitar, Cannon Hopper
WEATHER: Sunny
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Hacker Lv2) OR (Nurse Lv1, Hacker Lv1)
The Time Stopper you got last stage comes in handy here, as there are some
enemies you might want to skip since they take too long to kill (Gan*Ga*Gahn,
for example). Your Hacker Lv2 elf also modifies your three-hit combo such
that the third hit will be upward (and slightly stronger) if you hold the
Up button. It is a pretty straightforward level with nothing worth noting,
except for the miniboss which is actually larger than most main bosses.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MINIBOSS FIGHT - Spy Rarrier F!
resist: ice
weak:
lightning
attacks:
- Tail Laser
- Body Slam
- SRF points its tail in front of you and fires three

lasers. Do nothing on the higher one, jump/dash on
the middle one, and jump over the lower one.
- SRF moves forward with its claws in front and grabs
Zero before smashing him to the ground, doing some
major damage.
- Flame Pillar - SRF spits out a fireball that produces a fire tornado
somewhere in the screen. Dash away (not run, you'll be
sucked in) repeatedly until it dissipates.
strategy:
- Although it is slightly quicker to move in and attack the dragon,
doing so will likely get you killed. Just keep your distance, charge
your buster and fire big ones to its face, while dodging the lasers
and stuff. When he moves in to latch on you, immediately let go of any
buster charge you have, and execute a three-hit combo. This will cause
it to retreat (although barely). It also moves faster as its HP goes
down, so you might get slammed a couple of times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once you finish the fight and drop down to the lower floor, you'll see why
this stage is called 'Scorching Particle Cannon'.
Because there is this REALLY BIG beam of fire that travels over your head.
Exposing yourself into it will kill you in two hits at your current HP.
The only good thing about it is that it also kills all enemies that was
stupid enough to stay on its path.
Hide within the gaps on the ground and the ceiling to dodge it as you slowly
move forward. You can use the top of the Faitars as platforms in case you
can't reach the ceiling by normal jumping. However, do not be on top of one
if it's lying on the ground; it'll shove you into the particle cannon's line
of fire when it goes up. There's a Ceramic Titanium somewhere on the ceiling,
but you have to dash jump from the top of a Faitar and kill the Valiant*Fire
guarding it. Near to it is an extra life, but you can't get it (yet).
You'll eventually get past the particle cannon. From there, it's an easy
stroll until you reach a set of walls that spout fire from both sides.
Time your wall jumps so that you won't be crossing the walls with the fire
active, and enter the boss door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Heat Genblem! (2 life bars)
resist: ice
weak:
lightning
attacks:
- Flamethrower
- Genblem Spin
- Genblem raises his paws and withdraws his head into

his shell. During this time, he lets out a stream of
continuous fire that follow a wavy pattern. There is
a blind spot right in front of him where you can stay
and slash him until the attack is over.
- Genblem withdraws all of his appendages into his
shell, then he spins very fast and with flames
around him. He will then bounce along the walls.
- Solar Death Ray - This attack is always done after a Gemblem Spin. With
this, he spins in place while letting out a beam of
concentrated heat in a counter/clockwise direction.
The only way to dodge this is to climb up the wall
and dash jump over him, which is made harder by the
fact that his main body is surrounded by flames.
- Shouenga
(EX SKILL)
- There are once again two versions of this attack, and

they are both counters. (1) Genblem charges up a fire
punch that will throw one flame, or (2) Genblem does
an uppercut that will toss you to the opposite wall
and also sends out two flames to your direction.
strategy:
- Genblem moves surprisingly fast for a turtle. Stay on your toes.
- You may wonder why the heck didn't I bring you first into some stage
that will allow you to get his weakness. The reason for this is that
even if you do use a weapon he's weak at, it's very hard to wield it
against him, due to the behavior of his AI.
- This fight is not hard if you know what you're supposed to do to beat
him. At the start, he may either use Flamethrower, Genblem Spin, or
nothing at all. See my second to the last comment if he did nothing.
- Flamethrower - Immediately dash in right in front of his face. If you
did it right, the flamethrower will go right over your
head, and you can do three-hit combos until the attack
is done.
- Genblem Spin - Either dash or wall jump over it. When he comes down,
he will either be back on the ground, or most likely,
stay floating in midair. If the latter happens...
he will definitely use the Solar Death Ray.
- When Genblem uses his Solar Death Ray, start charging your saber, and
climb the wall beside Genblem, fast. Once you're over his level and ready
to jump, also press the dash button; this will let you do a dash jump
from the wall itself, and clear both Genblem and his flames. Release your
charged saber on the tail part of his shell (the end without the Solar
Death Ray streaming from it) and you will do some damage to Genblem.
Repeat for the next three rotations. After that he'll fall down, and you
can do a quick three-hit combo before he defends himself.
- Once he's back on the ground and walking, slash or shoot him repeatedly.
This will cause him to turn around and charge an attack. Stay away from
him during this. If he does the uppercut, dash under the flames and slash
as he falls. If he sends out a single flame, then just jump over it.
- You'll beat him eventually. This boss is one of the harder ones, so don't
be afraid to use a Sub Tank.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After defeating Genblem in the right weather conditions, you will earn his
EX Skill, Shouenga, AKA the classic upward flame saber. What's more, I could
lead you to concocting some very cool items. Collect these parts, the first
two of which can be found at the Scorching Particle Cannon stage:
Faitar
Gan*Ga*Gahn
Gyro Cannon H
Cannon Hopper
Submit them again (not necessarily in order) to Cerveau. You get the Double
Jump chip for combining those. Now go out and find two of each:
Ceramic Titanium
Faitar
Megamezone
Valiant*Fire
Head to Cerveau's lab once more and exchange these for two S Crystals. Now
visit Hirondelle in room 002 and give him the S Crystals. In return for your
efforts, you will get... two Sub Tanks.
This game seemed a lot more friendly now, didn't it? =D
______________________________________________________________________________
> Cold Sleep Facility
(9.6)

ENEMIES: Valiant*Fire, Valiant*Claw, Hikyarunikosu B, Hikyarunikosu C,
Grachal, Beamwalker, Serpent Gear, Metall, Phanteon*Corpse, Pure Elf
WEATHER: Snowy
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Animal Lv3) OR (Nurse Lv1, Hacker Lv2)
Before going through this level, you might want to upgrade your cyber elf
to Lv5 by collecting E-crystals from either Area Zero or Underground Forest.
Due to some storyline factors, you cannot immediately return to those stages
after finishing this mission. Just a suggestion.
After climbing to the top of the building at the start, you can see that this
stage has two paths you can take: an upper one and a lower one. You can
readily access the upper one anytime, but if you want to pass through the
lower one, you have to melt the snow down there . Your Shouenga EX skill can
do that. I want you to take the lower path, but I'll also detail what happens
in the upper path.
Here's what you'll see on the two paths:
- Upper path - You have to go down an elevator with Valiant*Fire's on both
sides. After that you have to slay more Valiant*Fire's until
you reach the miniboss door.
- Lower path - You have to go down some production lines that have Hikyarunikosu B's on it (B - bomb?). However, when you reach the
bottom look out for one Hikrayunikosu C which carries a key
card -- kill it with the Z-Knuckle to obtain that and don't
use it until I tell you.
Both paths end up in the room with the miniboss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MINIBOSS FIGHT - Giabank! (4 outlets)
resist: lightning
weak:
fire
attacks:
- Serpent Gear - Giabank releases a bunch of these robots that will
circle the whole room. The Serpent Gears move faster as
the miniboss' HP is depleted.
strategy:
- You have four targets to destroy on Giabank. You can hit the lower three
by mere slashing, while you have to jump to damage the top one. Don't
forget to use your saber (and your Shouenga EX skill) on the Serpent
Gears before they come too close.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From here, dash carefully over the spikes, and you have to go up an elevator
flanked with Valiant*Fires and even more spikes. Once you reach the top, get
the large energy capsule at the right if you need it, and swipe your Card Key
on the electrically-shielded door. Inside is a Sub Tank.
We've got all Sub Tanks, and we're not even halfway through the game. =D
The Card Key is worthless now, so discard it. Climb up the production lines
and kill the Metalls. You'll be in a long hallway filled with Pure Elf
capsules and Pantheon*Corpse's -- we can't do anything significant here yet,
so please proceed to the boss door as soon as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Fenrir Lunaedge! (2 life bars)
resist: lightning
weak:
fire
attacks:
- Slash
- Lunaedge moves in forward and uses the ice blade on

his wrist to cut you.
- Lunaedge Wheel - Lunaedge jumps into the air and spins into a wheel
that bounces along the floor before uncurling. He's
invincible while doing it, so just dodge.
- Wolf Mirage
- Lunaedge stands on a corner and creates two ice copies

of himself. After a few seconds, these copies also
move and attack on their own.
- Intercept
- A difficult move to dodge, since it's so quick and

unexpected. He will do these moves in this order,
assuming you're on the wall opposite him:
- jump upwards to the upper part of your wall and
release an ice blade downwards;
- jump horizontally to the wall he came from and
release two ice blades diagonally up and down;
- jump downwards to the lower part of your wall and
release an ice blade upwards.
- Shougetsujin
(EX SKILL)
- Lunaedge leaps into the air and slashes through

the air, discharging two large ice blades that travels
through the lower and upper half of the screen,
respectively.
strategy:
- The floor is covered with ice which makes it slippery. This may cause
your dashing to mess up a bit. Lunaedge suffers no such disadvantage,
of course.
- Lunaedge is not fast overall, but he does have some quick moves to pull
like Intercept. To dodge that, dash under the first one, dash under the
second one, and climb to the middle part of the wall on the third one.
- The Shouenga EX skill literally melts his defenses, but you shouldn't
get careless. His own EX attack is also hard to dodge (in some ways
harder than Intercept) since there's so little room to maneuver around
it, and he sometimes uses it twice in a row.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After you have defeated Lunaedge, you will be brought back to the Resistance
Camp to instanly proceed to another mission. Save your game, preferably in
another save file.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Intermission Stage 1: Base Defense
(9.7)
MISSION: Defend the human village from invading forces.

ENEMIES: Keroshu, Valiant*Fire, Yadokaroid, Maulroid, Bombgal
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Animal Lv1, Hacker Lv3)
This is a very short stage compared to the main ones, and you can't return
to it, so take a nice long look at the background... familiar, isn't it?
Fortunately there are some uses for your newly acquired Shougetsujin EX skill
in this stage. It fires an ice blade that travels along the ground (like a
shark fin), freezing enemies on its way. Perfect for the sloped environment.
From the start, dash carefully to the top of the shaky floating platforms.
Do the Tsuibangeki (downwards stab) if you need to get down fast (or you just
want to instantly kill an unsuspecting Valiant*Fire ;).
There are some usual Yadokaroids later on in the level, where there's a lot
more solid ground. You have to ascend a slope with incoming Valiant*Fire
from above and spikes below, on the top of which is a tower with a full
energy capsule that you can only reach by double jumping. There are also
three large E-crystals on the way down to the human village.
We get to meet a new enemy here, the Maulroid. Its Z-Knuckle weapon is the
Mega Hammer; very powerful, but the reload time takes ages. I take special
mention of it here since this is the only known mission to get it, and you
need two Maulroid parts to make some nice chips.
We have a new mission objective as well (the village is already overrun).
Rescue as many caravan people as you can, and put out the fires. Piece of
cake. Just enter the doors and kill the Valiant*Fire's that's holding them
hostage, and use your Z-Knuckle on the fire extinguishers so that Zero can
shoot water on the fires.
After you've done that, talk to the kid on the right end of the village to
let you through. Wall jump up the tower and get the large energy capsule if
you need it, and prepare yourself...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Kraft! (3 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Homing Missile - Kraft aims his gun up and fires one homing missile
that leaves an explosion even when destroyed. Slash it
once and do a few quick hits on him.
- Laser Beam
- Kraft stands in place for a few seconds while beaming

out a thin red line. Then he shoots one blue laser.
Either position yourself behind him, or double jump
over the laser.
- Shot Bomb
- Kraft throws out a bomb that explodes on the ground

and shoots four bullets in different directions. Try
to destroy the bomb before it hits the ground.
- Bayonet Stab
- Kraft tries to poke you with the built-in knife in

his gun. If he succeeds, not only do you take damage,
but he also releases it so that it will hit you for
even MORE damage. Very evil, so jump at all costs!
HINT: He always says 'ha-tse-ge-da' before doing it.
- Grenade Triad
- Kraft releases three grenades to varying distances.

Stay away from them.
- Dodge Roll
- Kraft moves quite quickly across the screen. He is

invincible when he does this move, but he won't be
able to hurt you either.
- Beam Dive
- Kraft jumps to the other end of the screen, hovers

there for a moment, and flies forward while shooting
the same blue laser. Dash jump forward and slash him
in midair to halt this attack.
strategy:
- Formulating an efficient battle strategy for this dude is a very hard

thing to do. All I can tell you here is that, good luck and hurt him
every opportunity you get. Slash him in the back if that's the only way
to hit him. You do have four Sub Tanks, so I guess you'll outlast him
in a direct battle. =/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So yeah... Kraft isn't dead. Instead, he leaves with someone you know, and
you must retrieve the one he left with. The next mission is about rescue!
______________________________________________________________________________
> Intermission Stage 2: Prison
(9.8)
MISSION: Save Neige from the Neo Arcadia prison.

ENEMIES: Cerberus, Valiant*Fire, Ee*Laser, Cannon Hopper
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Animal Lv1, Hacker Lv3)
Another night stage. Dispose of the Cerberus as usual, and double jump *over*
the entrance to collect a large energy capsule in the other end. Go back
to the main path and use the Z-Knuckle on the Ee*Laser to obtain a Bend Shot.
Use it on folks you can't take a direct aim on. Drop down the shaft.
It turns out that this path is one big ventilation system. Use your ice saber
EX skill to quickly destroy the fans. It's up to you to take alternate
routes to find out energy capsules and E-crystals. All paths lead to the same
boss door anyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Hell the Giant! (3 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Smash - There are about three versions of this attack:
- Hell tries to smite you with one of its spiked balls.
Nothing a quick dash can't solve.
- Hell brings together both of its balls in midair. This time,
dash under it.
- Same as the second version, but Hell brings them together
to the floor, creating a shockwave on both directions. Climb
the nearest wall to avoid the shockwave. This also shakes
up the ceiling, and two slabs of rock fall a few moments
later; you should know where these will land by looking at
the small pebbles.
strategy:
- Hell is not hard either, but he is quite strong. He'll kill you in no
time if you're are not good at evasion. Taking him down takes a while
though, since he has some high defenses. Hacker Lv3 might help more than
Animal Lv4. Just use charged sabers (and maybe a Sub Tank) and he'll
fall before you do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After you have rescued Neige and met Dr. Kool Ade -- I mean, Dr. Weil -you'll be in the second part of the level. Heal up before you continue, and
turn up the music for great justice!
Your mission objective has changed again. Since Ciel can't beam you out and
Dr. Weil seems to send out the whole army after you, you have to get out of
there on your own as quickly as possible. For some reason there is no time
limit, which is always a good thing. Use your ice saber EX skill to
instantly freeze the mass Valiant*Fire's.
You can't destroy the electric poles, so grab the rails or double jump
over it. Go up the wall, and you'll be against another set of puzzles:
closing gates. Use the switches to open them, and quickly dash past the
gates before you're stuck (don't worry if you flunked; they don't cause
instant death).
After that is a long, long downwards slope. Of course it isn't empty;
we have Cerberus on the ground, and giant bowling balls from the ceiling.
Hold on the rails if you think you're about to be overrun. This is where
Animal Lv1 shines: because of that, your running speed is the same as the
bowling balls, so you can let one go ahead of you and watch it mow down
the enemies. Watch out for the spikes in the end, and enter the door to
finish the level.
Yep, no boss fight. *whew*
--Once you return to the Resistance Camp, here's a sidequest:
Return to Lunaedge's stage while the weather is set to sunny. Play normally
until you reach the room where you obtained your Sub Tank here. Just beyond
that are some Metalls strolling down the production line. Ignore them, but
look up. See those light bulbs? Grab one with your Z-Knuckle to obtain an
Electric Light.
Proceed to the part where there is this Pure Elf near some beams of sunlight.
Use your light on it, which will make the elf retreat. Keep on doing this
until you corner it into the sunlight, instantly killing the elf. Move away
a bit so that it will respawn. Repeat until you get one Pure Elf part.
These are the parts you should bring to Cerveau:
Pure Elf
Metall
Beeneran
Ceramic Titanium
A mixture of those parts will yield you the Elf body chip, which increases
your Elf Capacity by 1 (and changes the color of your costume to a shade of
green). Equip it immediately.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Artificial Sun
(9.9)
MISSION: Destroy the heat generators.

ENEMIES: Valiant*Fire, Axeroid, Popplan, Lamproid, R*B Cannon, Ark Cannon,
Glass Cannon, Gyro Cannon H, Sundozer
WEATHER: Sunny
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Animal Lv5, if you have Elf body chip)
Those who followed my advice to create the Elf body chip and used Animal Lv5
will see that their elf shoots auto-aiming lightning balls. To those who
didn't... =P
Okay, this mission will be a bit harder than the others because of the
environment you're in. See, this place is so hot, you have a counter on top
of the screen that tells you how close you are to melting point; if you stay
in the sunlight and it reaches 100.0%, your circuits will overheat and you'll
take damage.
From where you begin, dash to the shade in front of you and kill the Valiant*Fire. Move up and always pause in the shadows for your counter to go down.
Try to kill the Axeroid with your Z-Knuckle to win a Mega Axe. Use your
upwards flame saber on the Popplans to burn them. Go further up until you
reach a door in the wall. Enter it and blast the Lamproid X and the heat
generator.
For every heat generator you destroy, the rate of heat increase goes down by
0.1%, allowing you to stay longer in the sunlight. The next room you'll enter
is a much larger one in the form of a tower. There are R*B Cannons on the
edges, which might make your ascent a bit more difficult -- your Mega Axe
will do short work of them. There are two doors near the top: the lower one
contains another heat generator, and the upper one has the miniboss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MINIBOSS FIGHT - Tiareen! (8 glass cannons)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Tiareen Shot
- Cannon Barrage
- Tiareen aims eight consecutive energy balls at

you. Stay on your position and jump over every
other ball (1st, 3rd, etc).
- Tiareen's Glass Cannons revolve around it, while
firing multiple energy shots at you.
- Tiareen Chain Beam - After you have killed off all the glass cannons,
Tiareen will shoot many energy balls in rapid
fire around the room. use the same strategy
you used against Genblem's Solar Death Ray.
strategy:
- This miniboss is easy, even though you'll get hurt badly if you're
reckless. Charge your saber while dodging the Tiareen Shot. After that,
release the charged saber on the glass cannons, and mash the subweapon
button to keep on axing. It's much more powerful than your three-hit
combo. From there, you know what to do when Tiareen uses the Chain Beam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The weather outside would be significantly cooler now. However, there is
still a problem: the Sundozers. These robots have a shield up front so you
can't attack directly, and the ones on the higher levels dump dirt. Try not
to be cornered. The boss door is not far away from here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Sol Titanyan! (2 life bars)
resist: ice
weak:
lightning
attacks:
- Flame Mine
- Titanyan swoops down and lays some mines on the ground

that explode into four fireballs after a few moments.
- Flamethrower
- Titanyan flies horizontally while breathing out a

continuous stream of fire. Dash under it when the
flame is at its high point.
- Green Rotor
- Titanyan releases two green rotating flames; one

goes vertically up, while the other moves horizontally
back to her.
- Red Rotor
- Titanyan releases two red rotating flames; both of

which curve downwards and upwards, respectively.
- Burning Shot
(EX SKILL)
- Titanyan raises her hands and throws to the ground

a large fireball which splits into six smaller
butterflies.
strategy:
- Awww... isn't that one of the cutest Mega Man bosses ever? 'Tis a shame
we have to fight her. >_<
- The main purpose of lightning here is to stun. The elf doesn't lock on
bosses, so you have to jump for the lightning to hit her. Follow it up
by a charged saber, or if you still have it, the Mega Axe. With the
exception of Flamethrower and Burning Shot, all of her attacks can be
destroyed by your own, so don't hesitate on attacking her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's chip-making time once again. From now on I'll only discuss how to make
the ordinary chips -- if you want to know about the Galacta Armor sidequest,
then look at its own section in Secrets.
Anyway, the Quick Charge Lv3 chip requires the following:
Beamwalker
R*B Cannon
Hikyarunikosu B
Serpent Gear
This chip halves the amount of time you need to charge your weapon.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Deep Sea
(9.10)
MISSION: Make it to the bottom of the first part of this stage within
140 seconds.
ENEMIES: Needballoon, Krio Neon, R*B Cannon, Yadokaroid, Bombgal, Megamezone,
Eledeserter, Bomaider, Hecrysta, Teribomb
WEATHER: Rainy
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Nurse Lv1, Animal Lv5, if you have Elf body chip)
There isn't a lot of advice I can give you here, since this part of the level
is huge. If you want a map that could pinpoint to you exactly where to go,
I suggest taking a look at my friend Mykas' map for Deep Sea.
http://db.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/file/mega_man_zero_4_water.gif
That'll explain the stage much more than I can. You should look for the door
at the very bottom to exit.
Upon entering said door, change your elves to Animal Lv3 and Hacker Lv3...
we have a miniboss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MINIBOSS FIGHT - Spy Rarrier I!
resist: lightning
weak:
fire
attacks:
- Tail Laser
- SRI points its tail in front of you and fires three

- Body Slam
- SRI moves forward with its claws in front and grabs

major damage.
- Icy Wind
- SRI breathes into the ground and forms some ice shards
which it will blow forward. Stay far from this attack
to avoid being frozen, and dash or jump through the
ice shards.
strategy:
- This is your chance to use the Burning Shot EX skill. Always fire fully
charged shots at this guy, and since your charge rate is so fast, that
dragon will fall faster than you expected.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The second part of this stage looks like the exact reverse of Prison; instead
of a long gentle downwards slope, we have a long jagged uphill climb. Fun,
if you're a sadistic nerd like me. >_>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Tech Kraken! (2 life bars)
resist: lightning
weak:
fire
attacks:
- Ground Hunter
- Kraken releases four pods that travel along

the ground and climbs up the wall. Almost
exactly like X4 Jet Stingray's version, but you
can't destroy the robots this time.
- Bouncing Cannonballs - Kraken shoots out two streams of green balls

that bounce along the walls.
- Ice Wall
- Kraken conjures a floating ice shield that will

also reflect his cannonballs. Use a fire-element
weapon to melt it.
- Dimension Split
- Kraken creates a hole in spacetime and hides

within it. Every now and then he pops out his
tentacles in an attempt to puncture you; dash

jump around to fudge up his aim.
- Ice Javelin
(EX SKILL)
- Kraken floats up and releases two ice vortexes.

These vortexes will freeze you on contact, while
at the same time shoot long icicles that hurt a
lot. Dash under the icicles and stay in the
middle until it's over.
strategy:
- Definitely one of the easiest boss fights ever. You can immediately
follow up your Burning Shot with Shouenga (upward flame saber) and the
latter one will still count! Because of that you can literally finish
this battle in about 10-15 seconds, provided that Kraken doesn't stall
by hiding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the next stage to be much easier, we need to get out of our way to get a
special chip. Note that you don't *need* to create it, but don't blame if
you keep slipping to your death in the next stage...
The ingredients are:
Valiant*Claw
Popplan
Glass Cannon
You'll get the Spike*Type W foot chip from those. This will let you walk
normally against strong wind.
I also advise that you upgrade your cyber elf to Lv6 right now. A few trips
to previous stages with Hacker Lv5 equipped should do the trick.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Airconditioned Park
(9.11)
MISSION: Destroy the power generators.

ENEMIES: Raiken, Grachal, Gyro Cannon H, Valiant*Fire, Triaformer,
Megamezone, Eledeserter, Bomaider, Hecrysta
WEATHER: Cloudy
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Nurse Lv1, Animal Lv5, Hacker Lv1, if you have Elf
body chip)
Hmm... doesn't this place look awfully similar to one of the final stages
in MMZ1? Anyway, use your buster as the main weapon here, and deactivate
your buster EX skills; your battles in this stage will be long range.
You meet another new enemy here, the Raiken. It shoots lightning balls that
trace the ground (more if the weather is really bad). Try to acquire two
parts from it. Now step on the fountain and freeze it with Shougetsujin
(ice saber); use the frozen water as a platform to obtain three large
E-crystals on the roof. Remember to go back down and destroy the generator.
In the next room (well, not really a room since it's open space), you will
see why I asked you to produce the Spike*Type W foot chip. You have to cross
some platforms over bottom pits, which usually isn't a hard thing to do. The
catch is, sometimes you wouldn't see where you're going to land due to the
thick clouds, and you might get blown away by the wind. At least your foot
chip will keep you in place long enough for you to regain visibility.
Note that Spike*Type W has no effect in mid-air; the wind will still push you
back while you're jumping. So if you feel you're more comfortable with double
jump, then stick with it. Traverse the platforms carefully, and shoot your
charged buster on the next Valiant*Fire before he lands. Dodge the sparks
created by the Triaformer.
Destroy another generator, and be wary of the Valiants hiding in the clouds;
you may not see them, but they can see you. Take your time dash jumping over
the spikes. Freeze the next fountain, get the Ceramic Titanium on the roof,
and go down again to ruin one more generator.
Now change your animal elf to ice, equip the Ice Javelin EX skill and enter
the miniboss door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MINIBOSS FIGHT - Spy Rarrier E!
resist: fire
weak:
ice
attacks:
- Tail Laser
- Body Slam
- SRE points its tail in front of you and fires three

- SRE moves forward with its claws in front and grabs
major damage.
- Lighting Bolt - SRE shoots three balls of lighting forward that splits
into separate lightning bolts once they're over you.
Stand between the bolts to dodge.
strategy:
- Since the Ice Javelin is one long stream of ice, the beam will hit the
dragon as long as you jump first before firing. It also hurts multiple
times, and together with your ice elf, your enemy won't stay flying for
so long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Revert your Animal elf to Lv5, and disable Ice Javelin (elementals work best
at stunning your enemy, not killing them). Use your saber on Megamezone, and
freeze the fountain to reach a large energy capsule and E-crystal. Dash jump
over the spikes, and there *is* a bottomless pit next to the Megamezone, so
blast it first before proceeding.
Now you have to cross some moving platforms. The wind will not blow you back
that much, but you only need one slip to die, so don't take any chances
unless you know exactly where you're going to land. You need to dash jump and
fire your buster on the second to the last platform to destroy the next
generator; otherwise, you need to reequip the double chip to reach it.
From there it's a short climb to the boss door. Your Ice Javelin will work
wonders here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Pegasolta Ekrehl! (2 life bars)
resist: fire
weak:
ice
attacks:
- Bolt Conductor - Ekrehl shoots out two small lightning bolts that plant
themselves on the ground. These bolts then connect
to each other before dissipating, so don't stay in
the middle.
- Ekrehl Charge
- Remember those movies where some knights ride on

horseback and try to drive a pointy stick through the
other knight's chest? Ekrehl does that, too. Dash jump
over it when it comes to your level.
- Ekrehl Stomp
- Ekrehl swoops down on you and gives you a nice kick

on the back, propelling you forward to the bottomless
pit if you're unlucky.
- Line Lightning - Ekrehl focuses his energy, and streams out two
lightning beams that reach the end of the screen. To
dodge it, stand on the lower platform and dash when
the beam moves over your head.
- Buraitotsu
(EX SKILL)
- Same charging animation as Line Lightning, but this

time Ekrehl dives in towards you while enveloped with
lightning energy. He's invincible in this state, so
stay away.
strategy:
- This guy would be a lot harder if we didn't prepare beforehand. The rain
in the stage doesn't make it slippery, but the wind does. There is also
no solid ground; only three platforms over a bottomless pit, which means
that there's a fair chance you'll die by gravity.
- In case Ekrehl does skewer you with Ekrehl Charge, immediately pull out
your saber and give him a three-hit combo to the face.
- Ekrehl is one of the 'smarter' bosses. If you jump up and shoot your Ice
Javelin, he'll move up a bit to dodge it. However, he's also stupid:
he's likely to come down after that, so you can fire consecutive IJ's
and he will still get hit by some. Also, I noticed it's better to shoot
when Ekrehl is off-screen; he doesn't evade as much for some reason.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's something for those who are tired of charging. Collect these parts:
Valiant*Missile
Sundozer
Raiken
Raiken
That's the Auto Charge head chip. Personally, I don't use it since Quick
Charge Lv3 is much better, but it's here in case you're too lazy to hold
a button. =/
______________________________________________________________________________
> Magnetic Zone
(9.12)
ENEMIES: Raiken, Valiant*Missile, Axeroid, Bombgal, Magnepa N, Magnepa S,

Ee*Laser, Minicraban N, Minicraban S, Gan*Ga*Gahn, Valiant*Fencer,
Gyro Attacker, Triaformer
WEATHER: Thunderstorm
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Animal Lv5, Hacker Lv3, if you have Elf body chip)
Ooh... scary. Our last mission on the eight main bosses ends with one of the
craziest levels around.
Let's start with the magnetic field. The field will either make you float or
sink; look at the sand to know the direction. The Raiken around are also
powered-up now. Try to get a Mega Axe as usual, use your double jump to reach
the large energy capsule, and go indoors.
Unfortunately, you have to dispose of the axe now, since we need a certain
weapon to advance peacefully. See that blue robot with two legs? That's a
Magnepa S, and we don't want that. Instead, go through the blue portal and
use the Z-Knuckle on the red one, Magnepa N, so that we get the Magnepunch N.
The portal you just passed through put a charge on your body. Because of
it, the Magmine that has the same color as you are will be repelled, and
the Magmine with a different color will be attracted. The floor also acts
the same way; if the same color, it'll push you up, and if it's not, it'll
pull you down. Basic magnetism.
From the portal, dash forward and ignore the blue Magmine as they will move
away from you naturally, but always wham your Magnepunch on the red ones
as they will attach themselves to you and explode. Do NOT enter the next
two portals you go through; the upcoming floor will attract you if you do.
By the way, there's an extra life in the ceiling after the first portal.
Your charge will disappear eventually. There's another red portal on the
end of the hallway. Enter that one and climb the shaft. Your lightning
Animal elf will take care of the Ee*Lasers, so all you have to do is dodge
the missiles, kill the Valiants firing them, and navigate the electrified
platforms until you reach the miniboss door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MINIBOSS FIGHT - Crabbanger NS!
resist: fire
weak:
ice
attacks:
- Raise Platforms
- Crabbanger pulls the floor closer to the ceiling

using electrical beams. The electricity can hurt
you. If you want to bring the floor back to
normal, just step on it.
- Release Minicraban - Crabbanger spawns some miniaturized versions of

itself. These crab robots have a charge; if two
of different colors touch each other, they
explode and hurt the Crabbanger itself. o_o
strategy:
- This miniboss is pathetic. It could actually hurt itself! The only worry
here is the electrified ceiling, so don't jump too high when firing some
Ice Javelins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next part has a magnetic field that's going up, so you'll float for a
long while before going down. In fact, you can double dash jump your way
through the whole level if you don't want your hands to get dirty. The
consequence is that you get a low kill score.
Quick way: go up until you reach the rails, and stand on the highest
platform. From there, just dash jump and land on the platforms
until you reach the last one. The exit is a short walk from there.
There's a Ceramic Titanium below the second to the last platform, if anyone
wants to collect one.
Time-consuming way: go through the lower path. Kill everything until you
end up in the boss door.
Now change your Animal elf to ice for the boss battle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Mino Magnax! (2 life bars)
resist: fire
weak:
ice
attacks:
- Magnax Slam
- Magnetize
- Magnax dashes forward and tries to grab you. If he

succeeds, he will put a magnetic charge on you and toss
you to the wall. The charge attracts junk and makes you
heavier over time.
- Magnax creates a glowing ball over his shoulder that
either attracts or repels you towards him.
- Junk Attract - Magnax summons a green ball that pulls out the junk
on the ground. The junk could hurt Zero as they fly
to the ball. After the green ball has accumulated enough
garbage, it drops down, and Magnax halves it with its
axe, sending to walls two chunks that splits up into
many more fragments.
- Magnax Split - Magnax jumps into the air and splits his body into five
parts: head, two arms, and two legs. The head stays in
the middle, the two arms somewhere up on the walls,
and the two legs on the corners.
- The two legs hop to the middle and up the wall. Dash
under one and stay on the corner as they will skip
that.
- The two arms join in the middle of the floor, and
then separate again to move to the corners. Wall
jump up the wall and fire an Ice Javelin to the head.
- The head connects to the arms before dropping to
the ground and hovering again to add the legs. You
can shoot him again at his legs as he falls.
This attack is really hard to dodge it on the first few
times you fight him.
- Tractor Shot - Magnax shoots out another green ball to the wall, but
(EX SKILL)
this one returns with a lot of junk instantly. Either
be first to reach the wall and climb it, or dash under
the junk and watch out for the projectiles.

strategy:
- Don't be surprised if Magnax totally whomps you silly on your first
fight. He's THAT strong.
- The key to defeating Magnax is to hit him in the head with several
Ice Javelins. But you can't do it in front of him since it's guarded by
his axe most of the time. The solution? Hit him in the back as he's
landing from a jump. Also, stay somewhere in the middle and don't
get cornered. You should be able to beat him after a few tries (or just
one, if you plan on using your Sub Tanks).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally. You have beaten all eight missions! Now Ciel asks you to save, which
means only one thing... a forced mission. -_______________________________________________________________________________
> Final Stage 1: Ragnarok Control Room
(9.13)
MISSION: Stop Kraft from firing the Ragnarok satellite cannon at Neo Arcadia.
ENEMIES: Medyu Hopper, Refbeamer, Valiant*Missile, Teribomb, Lamproid X,
body chip)
From where you're standing, do a dashing double jump to the right and
grab the rails. There's a large E-crystal and Ceramic Titanium in sight.
Go back to the rails and move further right until you see a cracked wall.
Wait for the Teribomb to fly over there, then slash it while it is within
the wall to detonate it. Walk through the hole you made and board the
platforms, while staying away from the Lamproids' flames and the Valiant*
missiles. Take the full energy capsule in the top. Use your jumping slash
on the Medyu Hoppers, and carefully dash jump to obtain the extra life.
In the next room, we have a bottomless pit under the area we have to cross,
and rotating platforms that don't provide enough space to go under the
spikes. What isn't immediately seen is that the platforms have rails
underneath it, so you can safely hang from there (remember to press up, or
else you'll fall). There's another series of platforms on the upper floor,
but I guess I'll let yourself guide you through that since I doubt you'll
be reading this when you're like a circus performer over bottomless pits
and spikes. >_>
And yes, we get to fight Kraft again. Alrighty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Kraft! (3 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- <same as last time, except for one special attack, which is...>
- Mass Missiles - Kraft jumps up and uses his gun's laser beam to keep
him in mid-air. He also releases multiple missiles
downwards in an increasing radius that will eventually
hit everything on the ground.

strategy:
- He's the same Kraft you fought in the human village, and he doesn't do
anything special other than that new attack (which is actually more
surprising than painful). This time, we have the Ice Javelin EX Skill,
and although he's not weak to it, the fact that it hits multiple times
still makes it the best way to finish this quickly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A series of events happen after you defeat Kraft. For details on what is
going on, please go to this linkhttp://www.planet-megaman.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6395
After all, I'm only supposed to help you with the gameplay. =)
Now, if you don't want to be forwarded to the next mission immediately,
choose the SECOND option when Rogue (the operator) asks you to.
There aren't many things left to do in the camp, but what's remaining is
very important.
1.) Create whatever chips you want to have. The ones I've pointed out in
the walkthrough are the chips I believe to be essential to beating
the game. Here's a list of some chips that isn't as needed, but quite
useful nonetheless:
Auto Filling
Absorb
Rolling
Strongest
Extend
2.) Fully upgrade your cyber elf to Lv7 -- believe me, it's worth it. And
it doesn't take that long; equip Hacker Lv6 and stay in the first part
of Scorching Particle Cannon for 20-30 minutes, killing everything back
and forth (especially the Refbeamers and Gan*Ga*Gahns).
When you're ready, proceed to the only orange dot on the map.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Final Stage 2: Large Transfer Base
(9.14)
MISSION: Unlock the four protection switches.

ENEMIES: Valiant*Fire, Valiant*Fencer, Keroshu, Needballoon, Hikyarunikosu B,
Teribomb, Gan*Ga*Gahn, Cross Vine
body chip)
You start in a room with four doors on each side. I'll discuss the rooms
behind each door in its own section.
Just a quick note: in the end of each hallway is a closed room with Cross
Vines appearing constantly and a switch (that looks more like a giant fuse).
Pull it with your Z-Knuckle, then proceed to the other rooms.
North door:
- Just some Valiants of different varieties. Be careful near the top, as
there are two Valiant*Fires and a Valiant*Fencer waiting.
East door:
- In this one we have Keroshus and Needballoons. When you come to a part
with an open ceiling, double jump up to obtain a large energy capsule
and a Ceramic Titanium. Take this path last.
South door:
- We have Hikyarunikosu B's and Teribombs here. To go down further, you have
to wait for the Teribombs then hit them with your saber so that they'll
explode on the blocks; you may need to turn off your lightning elf.
There's also a Gan*Ga*Gahn on the bottom left side.
West door:
- More Gan*Ga*Gahns and Cross Vines here, plus some lava. Solid rock also
falls down from the tubes, and when they land on the lava, they splash
some of it on dry ground. The most difficult path.
When you have pulled out all four switches, return to the main room: the
computer doesn't want to let you go yet. Enable the Tractor Shot EX Skill.
"Alert... alert... eliminating program... start... ha ha ha ha ha ha..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Random Bandom! (3 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Bandom Bounce - Random Bandom rebounds along the walls. Slash it once,
dash around, and start charging your buster.
- Bandom Shots
- During this time, Random Bandom disappears, and

multiple gun turrets appear on the wall. You're not
screwed; the Tractor Shot will absorb all the bullets
and grow larger. Shoot the green ball to Bandom when
it reappears.
- Bandom Eye
- Random Bandom uses its eyes to shoot projectiles that

fragment into two smaller ones in this sequence:
down (climb the wall), middle (stay away from wall),
up, middle, and down.
- Bandom Sparks - Random Bandom shoots shuriken-like projectiles from its

core in a clockwise direction, then does it again in
counterclockwise. I've only seen this in Easy mode...
- Bandom Select - Random Bandom disappears again, while several parts of
the wall flash rapidly. A turret that shoots a six-way
laser shot will show a few seconds later. Destroy it
before it could fire. It'll repeat a couple of times,
and much faster than before.
strategy:
- Easy, but annoying. That laugh could get on your nerves, but that could
be solved (turn the volume off). It shouldn't be too hard to get its
pattern down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing to see here, move on.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Final Stage 3: Inside Transfer Circuit
(9.15)
MISSION: Destroy the protect program in the transfer circuit to freely

transfer to the Ragnarok satellite.
ENEMIES: Metall, Ee*Laser, Raytri, Bombsect, Krio Neon, Needballoon
body chip)
It's the second to the last mission, and this time we're doing it in cyber
space! It's not like Z3's cyber space where everything's green, but it's
even more hallucinating. @_@
There aren't a lot of enemies in this level. What you should be watch out for
are the Raytri; invincible rotating lightning rods. Without Animal Lv7, these
objects take out 5 HP (out of your default 16), so it's better to wait until
it lets you pass. You should also carry the buster as your main since you
can't move in on your enemies immediately.
There's a full energy capsule in the ceiling after the rails; get under the
first Raytri and grab the rail just before the second one. You'll also see
another path below the first Bombsect you see. I prohibit you from taking
that though, as the only reward is a Ceramic Titanium (and you have loads of
it now). Better take the upper path with more enemies.
In the next room, nearly everything you see glows in the dark, so you might
have a hard time spotting the Krio Neons and Needballoons. Ride the platforms
and remember to hold to the rails underneath it when going over spikes.
There's an extra life in the far left corner. To the right are more platforms
that have an electric charge on one side, so quickly hop over each one until
you reach the boss door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BOSS FIGHT - Cyball! (3 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Cyball Round
- Cyball Split
- Cyball goes around and between the platforms. Double

jump over it, or hang underneath the platform while
charging your weapon and attacking it occasionally.
- Cyball transforms into four energy balls and rotate
to the other side. Stand on the upper platform and
jump over the balls.
- Electric Wall - Cyball disappears, and the four objects around the
stage conduct lightning between them. Stay in the
middle.
- Cyball Gum
- Cyball releases three translucent membranes that

slowly moves closer. They're industructible, so just
keep slashing and stay away from them until they

disappear on their own.
- Cyball Laser
- Cyball and the cannons fire pink lasers one at a time.

Dash underneath the lasers or jump over them.
strategy:
- Another easy one, although maneuvering through the platforms can be
tricky. Cyball uses its Round attack every other turn, and that's the
time you'll do most damage to it with your charged saber or buster.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There. We could now go into the final, FINAL stage. Ready?
______________________________________________________________________________
> Final Stage 4: Ragnarok Core
(9.16)
MISSION: Stop the Ragnarok satellite from crashing into Area Zero.
ENEMIES: Raiken, Grachal, Valiant*Claw, Faitar, Ark Cannon, Axeroid,
Lamproid X, Valiant*Missile
RECOMMENDED ELF SETUP: (Nurse Lv1, Animal Lv7, does not need Elf body chip)
Standard deal here. As with most Mega Man final stages, this one has some
tough to kill enemies at the start for warm-up. There are also some energy
capsules and E-crystals (like you still need them) along the way. When you
come into the room with an elevator, you have to enter the teleporters and
fight the eight bosses again in order to continue.

Proceed through the right door after you have settled your appointments.
The path you'll go through is lined with Ark Cannons and spikes; use your
Tractor Shot to absorb the bullets again, and very carefully climb the
spike-filled shaft. Jump to the left to obtain a large energy capsule, and
be sure to get a Mega Axe from the Axeroids; we'll utilize that in the final
battle. A few Lamproid X's, Valiant*Missile's, and Ark Cannons will obstruct
your way to the top.
And then... the final boss door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FINAL BOSS FIGHT - Dr. Weil! (3 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Teleport
- Weil fades away a few times. Most of your attacks will

miss him during this state, so stay put and charge.
- Phantom Split - Four images of Weil appear on the screen, and only one
of them is real. Wait for the true one to solidify
and hit it with a charged saber/axe quickly, because it
immediately follows that with this attack.
- Shock Pierce
- A while after reappearing from his phantom split, Weil

drops six daggers on the ground, and leaves an electric
ball on the top of the screen before teleporting away.
The electric ball shoots electric bullets to the
daggers, and then the daggers conduct the charge on the
ground. You have three options here:
- Keep jumping over the sparks on the floor while
dodging the electric bullets.
- Destroy the daggers with your Shougetsujin EX skill
(ice saber) while dodging the electric bullets.
- Same as first option, but only if you don't have the
mega axe. Use your Z-Knuckle on one of the daggers
to get a Death Pierce and use it later on Weil.
- Meteor Storm
- Weil raises his hands and sends out two waves of rocks:
the first one are all gray and fall on a preset pattern
and the second one have some golden ones that are
directly aimed at you.
- For the first wave, stay in the corner and use the
charged saber on the few last ones.
- For the second wave, stay in the corner and use the
axe for every gold meteor, but keep your saber ready
for the gray one.
- If you don't have the axe, then the upward flame
saber works as well.
- Arc Spray
- Weil releases eight blue balls that spreads into the

whole floor. And then he teleports to the other side
to do it again.
- There's a somewhat efficient way to dodge those.
I want you to look at the floor pattern.
*
*
__ __. .__ __ __ __.
^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ |
The asteriks show where you should stand and jump
forward when the balls come to you. I chose these
spots since that's where (I thinK) it's easiest to
dodge, and you wouldn't accidentally hit Weil when
he teleports to the other side.
- Health Regen
- Weil calls on four green balls. You can destroy these

before Weil absorbs them for more HP.
- Ice Crystal
- Weil creates a hexagonal block of ice on ground level
that splits into three smaller moving diamonds aimed

at you.
Now, the next attack is a SPOILER, so don't read further until you have
seen it.
3...
2...
1...
- Numbers Summoning - Weil brings out a multi-colored glowing ball (which

looks suspiciously like the Dark Elf...) and fades
away. That ball calls on all the late members of
Weil's Numbers for a group attack!
They always appear in this order:
- Flizard
- appears in the corner nearest to you

and uses his flamethrower.
- Inarabbita - appears in the middle and dives to
releases four ice shards.
- Schilt
and shoots electric balls at three
different heights.
- Mantisk
and throws his claw at you, which
returns sharp side open.
- Foxstar
- appears in the middle and releases
multiple upward flames that land on
the ground.
- Le Cactank - appears from above and tries to land
wherever you are.
- Biblio
- appears in the middle and plugs his
tail into the ground, electrocuting
the floor.
- Kelverian - appears from above and tries to land
wherever you are.
strategy:
- To tell you the truth, there's no easy way of taking down this pain in
the ass. It all comes down to who drains each other's energy faster.
A good way to measure whether you're on the winning side of the battle
is if you could drain two life bars of Weil's before you fully use up
a Sub Tank.
- The axe is more powerful than the charged saber, but you should only
use it on the 'slower' phases of the fight and you don't need a quick
reaction time.
- Put a higher priority on dodging than attacking. Seriously. This fight
takes more than a minute most of the time, and Weil's not even around
in some phases.
- Unless you're an expert, this fight WILL be messy, so don't whine on
the damage you take. Just don't take too much, and try not to use more
than two Sub Tanks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After you have defeated Weil, it's all over now... or is it?
With one of the most ****ed up scenes ever depicted in a Mega Man game,
Dr. Weil merges with the Ragnarok satellite in one last attempt to take you
down... what's worse, you have a time limit of 120 seconds before Ragnarok
crashes with you two on top of it.
Timer starts now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TRUE FINAL BOSS FIGHT - Dr. Weil! (3 life bars)
resist: none
weak:
none
attacks:
- Shield
- Beam Cannon
- Not really an attack, but that spike in front of

Weil's face protects him from attacks and hurts you
if you touch it. Wait until it's down to attack Weil.
- Weil sucks you in for a second, then shoots a
horizontal orange beam from the middle of the screen
downwards, where you'll have to dash under it to
dodge. He then follows it up with another beam on
ground level. Jump and press 'up' on the tip of his
horn to grab it and stay safe until the second beam
dissipates.
- Bombsect Summon - Two Bombsects appear from different green portals.

You could use your Z-Knuckle on them (if it's empty)
to obtain some Joint Bombs which can go over Weil's
shield, although it's hard to aim it properly.
- Thorn Boomerang - Weil puts his shield down and uses it as a projectile
that returns to him after a few seconds. Jump over it
and hurt him with a couple of charged sabers/axes.
- Crimson Spheres - Weil releases three red balls that splits into three
smaller ones every time you destroy it. Hit them with
a charged saber as they come out so you'll damage
Weil, too.
- Circle Spray
- Same as Arc Spray, but this time he does it on the

top of the screen and only once per turn, thankfully.
- Cross Spike
- Weil sucks you in again, and brings out a blue

rotating crystal that releases non-fatal spike-shaped
projectiles in a (+) and (X) pattern.
- Lock-on Cannon
- Several green hexagons appear all over the screen,

homing into you. If even one of them makes contact
with you, you will be sucked in into Weil's line of
fire and receive a beam cannon straight to the face.
The most evil attack in the game, surpassing Kraft's.
In case you have <40 seconds left, it's better to

just jump into a hexagon and get hurt rather than
waste ten more seconds trying to destroy them (which
you probably won't succeed at anyway).
strategy:
- In some ways this version of him can be harder or easier than his
previous form. Harder, since you fight with a time limit on and you
can't hit Weil if his shield's up. Easier, because he's always there in
front of you, and you can definitely whack him once the shield's down.
- This one is also much slower than the first form, so you don't need to
dash around as fast. Just... be careful. Most of the tips I said on
the last time also apply here, except for dodging -- you MUST attack
at all costs, or else you will run out of time. Weil is tough, but not
that tough if you keep the pressure on him.

> Parts List / Chip Recipes
(10.4)
I've told you before about how the new chip system works, but you may ask,
"How in hell am I supposed to do it now that the game is still in Japanese?"
Well, we also had the same problem on the boards. Most of us had no clue until
Terence Fergusson (one of the most respected FAQ writers out there) translated
the mechanics part of the game and posted it in a thread. Very useful.
However, you still have to get a katakana chart so that you can read what you
are supposed to combine. Which is very tiring and boring. So I came up with a
solution to complement Terence's info dump.
Download this zip file from my webspacehttp://www.geocities.com/snoocete/rmz4_chip_recipes_small.zip
In case that one goes down (as usually is the case with Geocities -_-), here's
a mirror of the same file. Thanks to RikkusRikkus of the Planet Mega Man forums
for setting it uphttp://www.rikkusrukkus.elixant.com/evil_files/rmz4_chip_recipes_small.zip
What does that file do? It's an archive of the screenshots of the parts, with
its English name attached to it. And the screenshots are placed in nifty little
folders.
Those folders have the name of the chip. Inside are the parts needed to make
that chip. With that info at hand, it's very easy to browse through Cerveau's
menu and create the chip you want.
More notes:
- Your recipe will still succeed even if you put the parts in the wrong order.
- You don't need the actual recipe to make the chip - you just have to know
the right part combination.
- For the Galacta chipset, please look at 'Galacta Armor' in the secrets.
- You can find Ceramic Titanium hidden away in most of the stages. It is not
obtained from an enemy.
Notes for the other FAQ writers:
- If you want to use the zip file for your own FAQ, write to me first and ask
for permission. Once I give you that, you have to make a mirror of the file.
(I'm just a poor student, you know. >_<)

11. Secrets\__________________________________________________________________
Shhh... they're not supposed to know what's here...
Fast way to fill Sub Tanks:
- Return to the second intermission stage (Prison) and snag all the large
energy capsules in the ventilation system. With Hacker Lv6 equipped, each
large energy capsule is worth one-half life bar. Exit the stage and repeat.
Fast way to gain E-crystals:

- Revisit the Scorching Particle Cannon stage and stay at the upper level
(before the miniboss). The tough enemies there tend to drop large E-crystals
and with Hacker Lv6 equipped, each one is worth 32 E-crystals.
Fast way to earn extra lives:
- Return to the Magnetic Zone and go indoors. There's an extra life in the
crevice of the ceiling after the second portal. Exit the stage and repeat.
Fast way to collect Ceramic Titanium: (c/o Paromin)
- After you have finished Final Stage 1 and forged the double jump chip,
return to it and double dash jump right at the start. You should be able to
reach the rails where you can plainly see a large E-crystal and Ceramic
Titanium nearby. Exit the stage and repeat.
______________________________________________________________________________
> Galacta Armor
(11.1)
The Galacta Armor is a very special set of chips which only works if you
fulfill these conditions:
1.) Wear all chips of the Galacta Armor at the same time;
2.) Disable all elf powers (i.e. all elf powers at Lv0);
Once those requirements are met, all the damage you do to your enemy, and the
damage your enemy does to you, will be twice as effective. Perfect if you don't
get hit that much, but even then this is a very tricky armor to wear as you
don't have your elf to depend on, so be very careful while using it.
Notes:
1.) Galacta parts are made by combining any 2-4 parts that fail to create a
proper chip. (example: 2 Valiant*Fire parts as is)
2.) Galacta means 'junk' in English. So you're wearing an armor made out of
junk! No wonder why it works that way. >_>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Galacta Head
| Galacta, Serpent*Gear, Glass Cannon
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Galacta Body
| Galacta, S Crystal, Gan*Ga*Gahn, Ceramic Titanium

Galacta Foot
| Galacta, Bomaider, Beamwalker, Maulroid

> Unlockables
(11.2)
Hard mode
- Beat the game once on Normal mode. It is the third option in New Game, right
below 'Normal'.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultimate mode (c/o xybazelu, mech gouki)

- Beat the game with all 51 parts in your Parts List (including Galacta,
S Crystal, and Ceramic Titanium) and your Cyber Elf fully upgraded to Lv7.
xybazelu also included some notes on how Ultimate mode works:
1) Capacity Level is set at 21, meaning no penalties whatsoever.
2) Elf is raised to lv.7 from the start, meaning you don't have to feed her any
E- Crystals.
3) When a category is set at a high level, all levels in the same category
lower than that level are activated, ie. set Animal to lv.5 (shoots thunderelemental shots)and all lower levels(run faster, slower wall slide, fire and
ice shots) will be activated as well.
4) The exception to no.3 is the Nurse Class Cyber-Elf, as you only get the two
full life bars(lv.7) and the occasional life drop(lv.1), not like 5 1/2 bars
added up, which should be the accumulated total. XD
5) Since Ultimate mode is a new game, obviously you don't get any EX-Skills,
parts, armors, Sub Tanks from the beginning; only the Uber-Elf once you
speak to Alouette.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Minigames (source: Iriasu's Rockman Perfect Memories page about Z4 secrets)
- Wood Chopping
- Beat the game with an overall S-Rank.
- Magma Border
- Beat the game with a complete Database.
- Busy Basket
- Beat the game once on Hard mode.
- Hammer Harvest
- Beat the game under one hour.
- Plant Panic
- Beat the game without feeding your elf any E-crystals.
- Elf Chase
- Beat the game without making any Chips.
- Energy Laboratory - Surpass the high score on all the other minigames.
Juan Ca Garcia told me through e-mail that he didn't unlock the Hammer Harvest
minigame when he finished the game in less than an hour on Easy mode. I tried
it myself, and yes, it's not possible. Technically, when you beat Easy mode,
you should also unlock Plant Panic... but that didn't happen either.
So I guess it's safe to conclude that you won't earn minigames from Easy mode.
You must do it on at least Normal mode (or Hard, for Busy Basket).
More to come as more is unlocked...

12. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)\_________________________________________
This is where all the other stuff that doesn't fit in the other sections go.
As of now, this section doesn't contain a lot since I detailed all that I could
think of in the appendices...
Q: Is this game out in English?
A: Not yet. There's also no set release date for the US or Europe. There's a
rumor of an underground community translating the game, but Capcom has
sent the stop signal to them, so only expect the official translation from
Capcom itself.
Q: Where are the Guardians (Harpuia, Leviathan, and Fefnir)?

A: Zero 3's ending tells us that they have gone over to Zero's side, so they're
probably hanging out in the old Resistance Base. Don't worry, Capcom will
not forget about those folks so easily.
Q: How hard is this game compared to the previous ones?
A: Depends on how you play the game. It can be really easy if all you do is
feed your elf and use max levels without caring for your rank, or awfully
difficult if you strive for perfect 100-pt missions on Hard mode.
Overall? I believe it's on the easy side, since you don't have to pull as
many stunts as before, and most stages are pretty short.
Q: Is Dr. Weil related to Dr. Wily?
A: Who knows.
Q: How would you rate this game?
A: I think Capcom handled the gameplay quite nicely here with the addition of
the Z-Knuckle. Graphics and music is still top-notch, and the replay value
would keep you entertained for quite some time. Not a must-buy yet, but
do play it if you could borrow a copy from a friend.
Q: How do you get a certain enemy in the database?
A: It seems you do so by killing them. Now this is fine for 55 out of 56
Type-B enemies in the game, except for the 56th one, Raytri, which is
invincible. I'm not really sure how that one went in my database. =/
Q: What are the bosses saying in Japanese?
A: xybazelu has been translating those as well. Link to his work in progresshttp://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=925724&topic=20790101
Q: What in the world did the ending mean?
A: Whoops. I can't discuss that in detail here due to the spoilers. GameFAQs
and Planet Mega Man forums have threads specifically for that subject.
That should be enough for now. Ask away so I'll know what questions should I
quickly address here.
