Introduction

Hello, and welcome to what used to be my first FAQ.

Some years ago, back in 2008, I wrote my first FAQ/Walkthrough. It was for this game, MegaMan Legends. If you had read that version, which was posted through mid-2011, you'd have thought that guide to be BEYOND crappy, and not a single person would blame you.

Since then, I have written about 60 other FAQs and greatly improved my skills at writing in general, FAQs especially. Looking back through my guides, I decided that I seriously needed to remake this one.

And then, over the course of another year, I continued adding on more and more, as another hundred FAQs flew by. With the help of the FAQ Contributors' Boards and the MegaMan Legends message boards, I was finally able to deem this FAQ complete almost 15 years after its release, making it likely to be the most comprehensive FAQ for it on GameFAQs.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this FAQ!!

Main Walkthrough

Mystery Ruins

From where you start, head forward. You'll be given a tutorial on how to use the Mega Buster (press Square). Continue forward and a Revearbot will pop out of the wall. Shoot at it a few times to defeat it, and do so with the other two.

You see those crystalline objects they dropped? These are refractor shards. They, when picked up, are automatically converted to Zenny, the monetary unit of this game, similar to Gil in Final Fantasy, or Rupees in the Legend of Zelda.

Continue forward and, at the fork, go right. Continue forward and, at the next fork, go left and destroy a few more Reaverbots.

Return to the fork and, assuming that you are currently facing the orange/brown square (a door), go left, and then right at the fork. Ignore the message from Roll and continue to the right and down the path. Step on the switch and you'll cause six worm-like Reaverbots to fall from the ceiling. Defeat them and return to the location of the door.

Face the door and get close to get a tutorial on opening doors (press Circle). Open the door and, in the next room, defeat the two or three Reaverbots here. Go through the door on the other side of the room.

Here, go up the incline and approach the ledge to get a tutorial on jumping. Press X, get on the ledge, and go into the small hallway. After the three Reaverbots pass by, go into the hallway and go to the right. Turn left when you can, then go into the small room on the right. You'll find some large cube-like object. Shoot at it several times to destroy it, blasting lots of refractors and energy cubes (the red cubes; they heal one cube of the HP bar on the left).

Anyhow, leave the room and continue down the unseen part of the hall. Turn left at the corner and then right when possible to find an energy barrier. We'll be removing this obstacle in a bit. Continue down the hall for now.

When you emerge in the small room, you'll find a spider-like Reaverbot above you. Press R2 to lock-on to it, then Square to shoot. Pick up the refractor shards and stuff, then go into the nearby room. There, get to the small towers and kick them (press Triangle). This removes the energy field both here and the other one from earlier. Go into the area blocked by the now-gone energy field to find two chests. One contains 560 Zenny; the other, a Power Raiser. The Power Raiser is a Buster Part that increases its power - be sure to equip it.

Return to the first energy field's location to find that it has gone. Go forward some to find that you are losing the radio connection with Roll. Continue through the door, and you'll find your first boss.

Arrival on Kattlelox

After the boss, you'll leave the ruins. Outside, you'll admire the blue sky before wondering where Roll went. As you do, the Club Reaverbot from earlier creeps up behind you. You slowly back up, until you almost fall off. An awkward silence and you suicidally jump off - onto the Flutter. The Club Reaverbot has no power over you now, and you fly off into the distance.

You then climb back into the main cabin, where Roll is piloting the ship. The Flutter encounters some engine problems and you set course for Kattlelox, an island about 100 miles southwest of your location.

You end up crash-landing on the island. Once you regain control, speak with the monkey-thing and save. Head along the path to the north. As you do, a police car will come. Return to the crash site and speak with the professor.

After THAT scene, head along the path you were going on earlier. When you reach the door with the "N" on it, press Circle to get into Apple Market.

There, examine the trash cans near the "S" and "N" doors to find 60 Zenny altogether. Check the box beside the electronics shop for a Broken Cleaner, and the one beside the junk shop for 100 Zenny. Go into the Junk Shop and speak with the woman inside. Select to go check on her husband. He is in the weird dome-shaped building you passed on the way here.

Portal 1

^l2|A map of all of the in-game dungeons. This one covers Ruins #1.

When you enter, turn left and go along this hallway. As you pass the ledge on the left, you'll find some enemies atop it. Destroy them if you wish -- you'll be lucky to get the Zenny anyhow -- and continue forward. A Reaverbot may dash out from the side hallway at you. Destroy it and go to the dark hole on the wall. Examine to find 2,600 Zenny.

Go down the side hallway and down the incline. Destroy the Reaverbot that dashes out at you. Continue into the rather large empty room, then go into the room on the right. Destroy all of the worm-like Reaverbots there. Jump onto the ledge and speak with the man to have him return to the Junk Shop.

Instead of leaving, go through the doors nearby. Go down the incline and the hallway on the left. There will be four enemies in here. Destroy the standing ones first (they can shoot fireballs) if you want extra Zenny, then destroy the sitting ones. Open the chest in the room to obtain a Rapid Fire, which speeds up your rate of fire.

Now, go back through the hallway, up the incline, and through the doors. Go right, left, and up the incline. Go left and down the hallway, then go right. Examine the blue-green thing to exit.

Pirates!?

Outside of the ruins, go back into Apple Market and into the junk shop. Speak with the woman for a cutscene, during which you'll get the Mine Parts Kit and permission to use their old Spotter Car.

Return outside and speak with Roll. She'll take you inside the car and fix up the Mine Parts Kit to get you the Splash Mine. This is a land mine that will explode eventually or upon contact. You only have a limited amount of them, though, and cannot yet upgrade it.

Once you exit the car, a policeman will come and give you your Citizen's Card, which will let you through the various city gates (the "N/E/S/W" ones). After the cutscene, go north into Apple Market. There, the north gate is blocked by some kids. Hold Circle and walk up to them to have them leave. Then head north again into Downtown for a scene, after which you'll regain control.

After you regain control, in the eastern block, between some of the buildings, you'll find some trash cans. One yields 10 Zenny; another contains a Broken Vacuum. Go through the north gate here to City Hall. There, go into the large central building, City Hall. Upstairs, you will find Professor Barrel and the mayor, Amelia.

After the short cutscene with them, exit City Hall and you'll find the girl from earlier, Tron Bonne, being chased by a dog. Leave City Hall through the south gate back into Downtown.

There, you'll find Tron clinging to a light pole, with the dog nearby. Speak with Tron, and then the dog for a cutscene. After this, go back through the south gate twice to be in the Cardon Forest. There, speak with Roll. During this cutscene, some pirate ships -- this particular variety are called Draches -- will fly overhead. Roll then flees to find Prof. Barrel.

You should head north into Apple Market. There, stop by the Junk Shop. There, buy a Power Raiser Alpha (the weird circle thing is the Greek letter alpha) and, with all your spare money, buy some Life Gauge (max health increase) and Energy Canteen/Packs. Leave the shop and speak with Data. Recharge your energy and ask him about the Junk Shop to get a Shield Repair. Save and go through the north gate.

During the cutscene, Roll will be blocked by some policemen, who say that the situation is currently too dangerous for her to go further. The pirates' robots have locked and blocked the gate, and the cops' weapons are too weak. MegaMan then runs off to fight them. After the scene, a boss begins!

After the cutscene there, you'll now have to fight some tanks that are destroying the buildings of City Hall.

Exploring Portal 2

After defeat Bon Bonne, he'll be flown off by a Drache. You and Roll proceed to into City Hall to check up on Barrel. He seems to be okay. Amelia then gives you the Class B License, which lets you into Portal 2 (Cardon Forest) and Portal 3 (Yass Plains, east portion). After this, the investigator runs in, saying that the pirates are digging up the forest in an attempt to get at the treasure. Anyhow, leave the building.

Outside, Roll will tell you that the Support Car is now fixed all up! Go inside it and speak with Data to recharge your health and ammo, then speak with Roll to learn about the Car and to get the Walkie-Talkie. This thing can call Roll to you from most -- not all -- places. Leave and go Downtown. Go into the northwestern block of Downtown and check the trash cans - one hold the Blumebear Parts. Go into the van to create the Machine Buster. For most of the rest of the game, this will be the weapon I recommend you use. Build it up some and head to the Cardon Forest. Exit the car and go south. When you emerge in the clearing, go to the left to find another dome-shaped building. This is Portal 2 - go inside.

^l3|A map of all the game's ruins. Portal 2's currently-accessible parts are Ruins #2-4.

When you enter, go through the doors and hallways to a room. There, defeat the two Reaverbots and go into the hallway on the left. There, you'll find some more Reaverbots and little else. Continue along the hallway and through the door.

When you go on through, go into the hallway/incline in front of you and across the bridge, avoiding the spinning towers as you go. In the next room, the square room, go left. Destroy the cubes and collect the Zenny/energy cubes. Continue along it to find an enemy not unlike that from the first dungeon, except it has two arms. Try defeating it in a similar manner - it uses the same attacks. Once you're done, leave through the door that was to the right of the one you entered through.

Defeat the two Reaverbots here and go past the spinning towers. Go through the hallway, defeating another Reaverbot or two as you go. In the next room, defeat the three enemies like those from the entrance, and three immobile ones. Open the chest to find 2,280 Zenny. The one on the higher ledge is unreachable. Continue into the next room.

Here, investigate a hole on the right side of the room to find an Old Shield. Then go to the northeastern corner of the room, through three doors.

Here, go to the right and open the chest -- it is trapped, so you'll need to blast and defeat it. After that, go to the opposite side of the ledge and open that chest for a Buster Unit, a good substitute for the Power Raiser or the Range Booster Alpha. Also destroy the nearby cubes for Zenny. Then exit the ruins.

The Yass Plains, Part 1

Outside Portal 2, call Roll using the Walkie-Talkie and speak to Data to recharge your health and ammo. Then go to City Hall. Exit the car and go through the northern gate to the Yass Plains.

Here, you'll encounter several tanks. The way to defeat them is simply get on them or on their side and fire your weapon. Go to the hill on the east side, where you can see the cave, and defeat the nearby tank. Then jump to the nearby ledge. Up here, you'll find some bomb launchers - defeat these immobile enemies by shooting them. Jump to the ledge with the building atop it. Here, you can go inside to buy Junk Shop items - the Flak Jacket (9,500 Zenny) is a must. Exit the building and examine the box nearby to get a Safety Helmet. Then go through the tunnel.

On this side, defeat the tank in front of you. Then go across the bridge and towards the dome-shaped building, Portal 3. As you do, defeat the two tanks along the way and grab the Flower to give to Roll later. Then go into the building.

Portal 3

When enter, go through the doors in front of you, then left. Open the chest to find 1,780 Zenny. Go through the door to the left and up the incline. Go right and open this trapped chest. Defeat it and examine the nearby hole in the wall for 1,510 Zenny. Do a 180, go forward, and through the door on left.

Here, go to the northeastern corner of the room's lower portion to find a hallway/incline. Go up it and across the bridge. On the other side, turn to the right and go against the wall. Jump to the chest to the south and open it for a Cannon Kit. Defeat any enemies and leave the ruins the way you came in.

Yass Plains, Part 2

Now, if you want, you can return to Roll to...

• Give her the Flower ("Talk" to her).
• Develop a Powered Buster (from the Cannon Kit).
• Develop a Helmet (from the Safety Helmet).

Here, you'll first fight three or four tanks, as before. Defeat them and get near the hole the Bonne's have dug and you'll fight another boss!

The Cardon Sub-Gate

Once you return to City Hall, you'll be given the Class A Digger's License. This allows you to enter the Sub-Gates on Kattlelox Island. One such Sub-Gate is in the Cardon Forest.

For now, though, go to Downtown. Leave through the west gate. Here, in Uptown, go near the hospital and open the two trash cans. One has the Broken Propeller. Now call Roll and develop the Vacuum Arm. Build it all the way and you suck the Zenny in the room of a dungeon from nearly anywhere almost instantly. Generally, it is a good weapon to keep on hand if you know you aren't going to fight a boss or strong enemy - for example, in the next Sub-Gate.

Anyhow, go to the Cardon Forest and south, near Portal 2, but keep going south to the tunnel. After the quick cutscene, go on through for another. Here, you'll simply have to destroy all of the tanks in the way of the Support Car - nothing too tough. Get inside the car if you get in trouble. The car itself can be used as a shield.

Anyhow, once the tank near the Sub-Gate and the fence is destroyed, Roll will proceed to ram and destroy the fence. After the fence is destroyed, go into the Sub-Gate.

^l5|A map of the Cardon Sub-Gate.

When you get off the elevator, go to the left and you'll see a barrier and Roll will speak with you. Go further forward for another speech, then examine the podium-like console. The Starter Keys aren't here; as such, you'll be unable to lower the shield and grab the refractor until you do so. Go through the nearby doorway.

Here, you'll find three wasp nest-like things around the area. It is best to deal with these from a distance, as enemies pop out of these when you're too close. The one directly in front of comes first. Destroy it and the resulting enemies, then grab some Zenny using the Vacuum Arm. Jump to the ledge and find the green object. Shoot it to lower it, creating a bridge to the next ledge. Destroy the nest-thing on the other ledge, and its enemies, then get on the ledge. Find the yellow object and walk over. This is one starter key.

Get back to the previous ledge, then get onto the other unused one. Destroy the nearby nest-thing and shoot down the bridge. Finally, get on the floor and destroy the Reaverbot down there, then go to the northwest corner of the room on the floor. Examine the hole to find 2,300 Zenny. Now, return to the ledge nearby, go across, then left to another ledge, and go across this drawbridge and through the door.

Here, destroy the enemies nearby. Get on the left wall and activate the switch to start the conveyor belt. Examine the hole in the wall to find an Old Doll, then go into the hallway across from where you started. Go left to find a Grenade Kit, then up the incline. Here, try to jump from solid platform to solid platform (the blue things break) to find the chest. Get onto the chest's platform and let the conveyor carry it on. While it does, continue along to the room with the compactor thing. Destroy the enemies in here and examine the hole in the wall to find 300 Zenny. Then just wait for the chest to get down here. When it hits the compactor, grab the yellow thing that drops out - it's another Starter Key!

Now, return to the room you originally entered, go into the hallway and up the incline, then jump across the platforms to the other side of the room. Go through the door.

On this HIGH ledge, open the chest to find the Spring Set. Go towards the door on the other side. Examine the nearby hole in the wall to find an Old Bone. Then go through the door. In this next room, quickly step on each switch (from the closest to the farthest from the door) to get rid of the three barriers blocking your progress. Once you do, grab the yellow thing (the last Starter Key), and go through the door.

Drop to the floor and go up the ramp in the northwestern corner, then jump across the ledge you were first off this whole and return to the refractor room.

Here, examine the console and lower the shield to have MegaMan grab the yellow refractor. Then return aboveground.

Some Jump Springs Item Searching!

Aboveground, enter the Support Car and speak with Data to recharge your health and ammo. Then speak with Roll and have her develop the Grenade Arm and the Jump Springs, the latter of which is REQUIRED for completing the game. Now, we are going to search for some items.

Portal 2

(This deals with Ruins #2-5.)

When you enter and get to the room with the two walking Reaverbots, defeat them. Get onto the shorter of the ledges (the one that you couldn't get onto last time), which you can now do if you've equipped the Jump Springs. Defeat the enemy up here, then open the chest to find 1,180 Zenny. Go into the room nearby and defeat the enemies there. Examine the two holes on the upper level to find a total of 10,060 Zenny. On the lower level, go into the room to open the chest (Rollerboard). The greenish door only takes you to the Cardon Sub-Gate.

Now, go into the room with the other three walking enemies (the same room with Chests F and G on the provided map) and get onto the higher ledge to open the chest to get 2,840 Zenny. Go through the small doorway, avoid the spinning towers, and get onto the nearby ledge. Examine the two holes nearby to find about 5,300 Zenny altogether.

Destroy the two cubes nearby and go past them and the spinning towers, defeating the green thing as you go. Then go through the doorway at the bottom of the incline. Go forward some and look up and left. Jump onto this ledge and open the visible chest to find a Rapidfire Barrel.

Now, go back to room from earlier (the F/G Chests) and go through the doorway. Then go forward to the high ledge with the chest. Open it to find 1,620 Zenny. Go along the platform and through the doorway on the left. Here, defeat the spider-thing on the left and examine the hole it seemingly was protecting to find a Shiny Object. Go past the spinning towers, and go along the path, defeating all of the spiders as you go. Then go through the doorway at the end. Here, go left and through two doors, then go to the small room on the right to find a Pen Light.

You can now exit Portal 2.

Portal 3

From here, go to the room where you found the Cannon Kit. Get onto the higher southern ledge and go through the doorway here. Get onto the ledge and open the chest for 1,960 Zenny. Then go into the room itself and destroy all of the enemies. Open the chests to find trapped ones; defeat them. Only the northwestern chest isn't trapped - it contains the Triple Access.

That's it. Now, let's go to Uptown.

The Lake Jyun Sub-Gate

Once you're finished looking around, go to Uptown and to its highest point. Go through the doorway up here to find the boat shop. Once you enter the main building, go through the door to the left of the man behind the counter. Trying only gets a speech; try to again to get outside. Speak with one of the construction workers to opt to get Roll to work on the boat.

After the cutscene, you can now get onto the boat. First, though, switch to the Machine Buster if you need to, then save with Data. Get onto the boat. After the cutscene, you'll have to fight some of the Bonnes' water tanks.

The path itself is predetermined, though the tanks seem to pop up randomly. All I can mention, really, is this: if the gauge in the upper-left (the boat's health) empties, it is a Game Over. You can prevent this by shooting the missiles/torpedos shot by the tanks. Eventually, though, you'll watch a scene between the Bonnes and another boss begins!

^l8|A map of the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate.

When you enter, go through the two doors in front of you. Examine the two holes nearby to get 1,460 Zenny altogether, then go to the left, defeating the fire-blasting Reaverbots as you go. In the relatively-large room, go to the right and down this hall to find a chest. Open it to find the Old Hoverjets. Return to the big room and go across it and up the ledge, then through the door.

Here, destroy the metallic spiders, then return to the entrance. Go to the left and down this hall, destroying some enemies as you go. In the mini-room where the spider was, examine the hole to find a Gatling Part. Open the nearby chest to find a Starter Key. Return to the main part and go down the hall on right side, examining the hole in the alcove as you go to find a Ring to give Roll later on. Defeat the nearby spider and go through the hallway and the doorway at its end.

Here, go onto the ledge in front of you and go into the room on the right. Open the chest there to find another Starter Key. Now, go onto the ledge in the southernmost point of the room as according to the map. Go down the side path, then jump to the ledge and into another room. Open the chest for the third Starter Key, then check the nearby hole for 5,130 Zenny.

Return to the open part of the room and you'll be able to see a chest. Go to and open it to find a Joint Plug. Finally, jump the ledges on the northern side of the room and go through the doorway.

Here, beware of the alligator-like enemies because THEY WILL HURT. When you reach the two side hallways, go down the left one. In this area, go to the room blocked by walls and down the left hallway to find a chest with the Rapid Striker in it. DO NOT CONSULT THE MAP FOR THIS - IT IS NOT MARKED.

After you grab the Rapid Striker, return to the Sub-Gate and go to the unused doorway opposite the original entrance. In this room, go through the doorway on the other and you'll find a red refractor and a console. Place the starters into the console and lower the shield, then you'll grab the refractor. Return to the previous room to find a boss.

The Clozer Woods Sub-Gate

After you exit the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate, speak with Data to recharge and save. Get onto the boat to return to the mainland. Go back to the main part of Uptown and call Roll. Speak with her to return to the Flutter. During the ensuing cutscene, the Flutter can now be flown.

In the Flutter, leave Roll's room and go into the leftmost of the rooms, Barrel's. Go to the back and examine the antique ornate chest to find a Bomb Schematic. Leave the room and go to the TV room. Speak with Barrel. Then go into Roll's room and speak with her. Go to the R&D Room to develop the Grand Grenade with the Bomb Schematic, the Jet Skates with the Rollerboard and Old Hoverjets, and the Adapter Plug from the Joint Plug. The first is required for the next ruins, so equip it. The last one will let you have a third Buster Gun Attachment.

Whenever you're ready, speak with Roll outside the R&D Room to go to the Clozer Woods Sub-Gate.

^l9|A map of the Clozer Woods Sub-Gate.

If you haven't yet done so, equip the Grand Grenade. This weapon is a requirement of this Sub-Gate to finish it.

Once you enter, go through the door in front of you. In the next room, you'll find a hole in the floor. Jump down into the room, which has an elevator like that of the previous two Sub-Gates, but is currently inactive. If you do a 180 so the northeastern door is on the right of your facing, you'll find a door. Go into it to find the control room and a speech from Roll.

Return to the previous room and take the other door. Here, you'll find three or so of the green enemies from the Cardon Sub-Gate. Defeat them and go through the eastern of the doors here. Examine the holes in the wall to find a Tele-Lens and 450 Zenny. Return to the previous room and go through the western door, and the door in that room.

Open the chest up here to get a Guidance Unit. Jump down and examine the holes in these western pillars to find 3,040 Zenny altogether. Defeat the shield Reaverbots here (shoot from behind or when they move the shield) and go to the eastern pillars. Examine the holes there to find 920 Zenny and an Antique Bell. Jump onto the pillars and onto the eastern ledge to find a chest; open it to get an ID Card. Then exit through the central door on the north side of the big pillar in the center of the room.

In this hall, go left and into the small room to find a Target Sensor in a chest. Return to the door and go along the other hall. Go into the door on the left to arrive in the ruins. Use the Jump Springs while in the hall to get onto the ledge to the right of the doors; an Ancient Book is in the chest. Return to the Sub-Gate and go to the other side of the area and through two doors. To your right is the generator; examine and activate it. Go into the western mini-room to find a chest with another ID Card. Now, return to the big room with the four pillars. Here, exit through the northernmost door.

In this room, defeat the spider Reaverbots and look on the ceiling. On the IN-GAME map, it'll be marked by four dots. This square in the ceiling is weak; throw a Grand Grenade at it to crumble it. Jump into the above room and use the nearby door.

Here, in this next room, you'll find an elevator, which is now usable since the generator is on. Get on it and listen to Roll as you descend. Once you hit the ground, you'll have to do some fighting.

Here, you'll be in the generator room once more. Go along the ledge and go into the mini-room with the chest. Open it to receive the third and final ID Card. Jump to the ground, then go along the hallway to the big four-pillared room. Jump onto the western ledge and go through the door. Go through this next door, then go into the north-central door.

Go into the control room (northeastern door) and examine the computer thing to insert the ID Cards. This now opens the Main Gate. Return to the previous room, go up using the elevator, then go through the door up here. Go back up the elevator into the Flutter.

The Aerial Battles

After you open up the Main Gate and then return to the Flutter, go into Roll's room. Speak with Data first and recharge your ammo and health (and probably your shield). Speak with Roll and go to the R&D Room. You should be able to make the Sniper Scope (a great alternative to the Sniper Range) and the Active Buster.

Anywho, equip your better weapon. The Machine Buster is just fine, but if you somehow had the 1,000,000+ Zenny to max build the Active Buster, that'll be the best weapon for the whole game. Literally.

Save and tell Roll you want to return to the crash site. During the flight, you get some entertainment - the Bonnes come and attack!

The Main Gate, Part 1

After you defeat the Bonnes (again) and watch the cutscene, you'll be in the same spot as the Flutter crashed in. You can now access the Main Gate. I see nothing to do on the side, except some side quests, so let's go to Downtown. Exit the area to the east.

Here, try to avoid the dogs and exit to the south, I think.

Here, you'll be at the entrance to the Main Gate. Pick up the cat outside and go on in.

^l10|A map of the Main Gate.

When you enter, all I can say is that it spirals down for a bit. As you go down, you'll fight some beefed-up versions of the shield Reaverbots from the Clozer Sub-Gate. Eventually, you will find a hole in the wall. EXAMINE IT - you will get a whopping 10,000 Zenny! Continue along the spiral and you'll find a door on the right. Go inside and open the chest to find a Buster Unit Omega. Leave and continue down the spiral just a bit more to find another door on the right. Go on in.

Go forward and around the corner. Go to the alcove on the left and mess with the computer to unlock the Sub-Cities, which we will do shortly. For now, we'll do a bit more searching. Continue further along into the room and you'll find the three dog-like Reaverbots from the Clozer Woods. Defeat them and move on. Ignore the western door and now go through the eastern door. Go forward some and into the eastern alcove. Open the chest to get a Generator Part. Return to the previous room and go south into the halls.

As you go along the first hallway, check the hole in the wall on the right to get 2,170 Zenny. Continue into the rectangular western hallway and check the southwestern corner for a hole, in which is a Shiny Red Object. Go through the halls as far east as possible. Open the chest for a Blunted Drill and the nearby hole for an Autofire Barrel.

Now, return to the three-dog room and go through the western door. Go through some doors and up the ladder. Make sure your health and ammo is full -- come back later if you need to. Go into the Building 88 and watch the scene. Then...

Drill Arm Item Search

After defeating Bruno, it is now true that the Sub-Cities are opened. However, I'm going to do an item hunt; skip to the next section for the Sub-Cities.

Anyhow, once you beat Bruno, call Roll. If you got the correct treasure from the Main Gate, you can get a Drill Arm (from the Blunted Drill) and an Auto Battery (Generator Part and Autofire Barrel).

Assuming you have the Drill Arm, equip it and head to Portal 3. We'll start here and work our way around.

^l11|A map of all the game's ruins. We'll go through Ruins #6, 3, 4, and 5.

When you enter Portal 3, go through the two doors and face right. Use the Drill Arm on this cracked wall -- it will crumble away! That is the power of the "mighty" Drill Arm. Get onto the ledge on the right. Open the chest (Blaster Unit R) and examine the hole in the wall (Weapon Plans). Drop down and break through the next two walls (plunder the treasures in their ledges if you haven't done so) and go through the door.

Go up this long incline and defeat the green Reaverbot as you do. Go past the spinning towers and destroy the cubes. Collect the loot and go into the next room, then the one after that. Defeat the enemies there and go through the door. Then go to the northernmost part of that room and go through the doorway. Go through the hallway and defeat the metallic spider enemies as you go. Go through the door at the end.

Go forward and use the Drill Arm on this wall. Go forward into the next room, and the one north of it. Open the chest to get an Old Launcher. Return to the previous room and travel east into a room, then destroy the wall to the north. Go into the room and east into the hall. Go south and, in the room, open the chests. (Two are trapped; one has 5,600 Zenny). Then go back to the place where you entered this area from.

Go through the doors to the west and then north to grab the Pen Light from the chest, if you haven't done so. Then destroy all of the nearby pillars and examine the hole hidden by them to find 920 Zenny. Continue along and do the same with the other two sets of pillars and check those holes (660 Zenny; Main Core Shard). Go grab the Rapid Striker if needed, then exit the ruins. We're going to do the Sub-Cities now.

The Sub-Cities

Old City

This place is filled with enemies, though I see no need to mention much. The only new thing is the green enemies -- larger versions of those you found in the Sub-Gates.

Anyhow, defeat all of the enemies in here and go to the largest of the buildings. It is now unlocked, because you defeated the enemies. Open the chest to get the Watcher Key and exit.

Downtown

Again, it is filled with enemies, including the larger green Reaverbot. As before, defeat them all and enter the large building. Because you defeated all of the enemies, it is now unlocked. Go inside and open the chest for the Sleeper Key, then leave.

Uptown

Main Gate, Part 2

After you have gotten the Watcher, Sleeper, and Dreamer Keys, it may be a good idea to consider doing some sidequests. Anyhow, when ready, enter the Main Gate once more.

^l12|A map of the Main Gate.

This time, when you travel, just go all of the way down the spiral. Eventually, you'll come to a door. Go into the room.

This room has three doors just to your right. Using the Watcher, Sleeper, and Dreamer Keys, you can unlock these doors and go through. After you do, go forward some more for a rather lengthy and plot-revealing scene.

After this scene, in this hallway, defeat the enemy and go left. At the end is the Power Stream. Go into the other hallway and ... well, just go along it, defeating any idiot enemy that dares get into your way.

You'll eventually walk into a room with ... OMGWTFBBQ! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT REFRACTOR!! The sad part about all of this is that you cannot take it. Ever. (At least in this game. As for MML2, I'm not sure.)

Anyhow, go through the other door and just go along the hallway and defeat some more enemies. You'll soon come to some doors. Go through them and you'll find Data. Speak with him to recharge and save. Go through the door.

After some more scenes, you'll fight the final boss!

Speed-Run Walkthrough (Easy Difficulty)

Some Notes (READ!)

The below is a list of notes concerning this I have compiled; within the walkthrough, remember that all of these are entirely implied unless stated otherwise!

• First and foremost, this Speed-Run walkthrough will apply solely to the Easy difficulty, as the Normal/Hard difficulties have different cirumstances surrounding them.
• In correlation with the above, all boss data shown is solely for Easy mode.
• All non-necessary battles are to be skipped unless your health depends on that one energy cube.
• Next, I must address how extremist this Speed-Run Walkthrough is. It is best for only veterans to do this, despite it being Easy mode. Why? Well, consider that we are getting no treasures, no shopping, and only two special weapons (the required ones). No optional inventions whatsoever, and you only get the initial five health cubes. No sidequesting for money. I think you get the idea.
• Use the Start Button to skip every single cutscene. Use the Triangle button to speed up all text conversations.
• Outside of the ruins, use Roll to transport you from place-to-place when possible.
• This walkthrough is somewhat more specific. It helps to follow this in a somewhat word-for-word manner to minimize time played.
• You'll want to master the "art" of diagonal running. What is this? Well, consider you have a square. You're at one corner, with your destination at the other, with no obstacles in-between. It is approximately 1.414 times faster to go diagonally than around to it. This benefit will change, of course, depending on the triangle formed by you, the destination, and the intersection of those lines, but it is always a benefit.
• Time Expectancy: 45 ~ 60 minutes.
• Personal Record: 40 minutes, 36 seconds.

Mystery Ruins

Upon beginning, immediately equip the Buster Max and the Jet Skates. Exit the menu and Jet Skate forward and take a right at the intersection. Go down this hall and, when you see the door, stop and go into it. In the next room, Jet Skate to the other side of the room and go through the door.

Here, Jet Skate up the ramp, jump onto the ledge, then Jet Skate towards the hallway. After the quick cutscene, Jet Skate all of the way down the hall, taking none of the side paths. You'll find that large spider-like Reaverbot. Shoot it down and approach the room nearby. From a distance, shoot down the two towers. Turn around and Jet Skate down the hall. At the first opportunity, go left. You'll watch a conversation between MegaMan and Roll, after which you should into the room nearby via the door.

You'll fight a boss.

Arrival on Kattlelox

Skip the two scenes following the boss.

Once you regain control, head along the path to the north. As you do, a police car will come; skip this cutscene. Return to the crash site and speak with the professor, then skip the scene.

Afterward, Jet Skate along the path you were going on earlier. When you reach the door with the "N" on it, press Circle to get into Apple Market.

There, go into the Junk Shop and speak with the woman inside. Select to go check on her husband. He is in the weird dome-shaped building you passed on the way here.

Portal 1

When you enter, turn around and Jet Skate down the hallway on the left, ignoring the enemies. You'll soon reach a hallway on your right. Continue skating and go down the incline, then into the nearby room. Start blasting all of the worm-like Reaverbots nearby. After doing so, get onto the ledge and speak with the man. Press Start to skip the cutscene, then leave the way you came, ignoring the enemies as you go.

Pirates!?

Outside of the ruins, go back into Apple Market and into the junk shop. Speak with the woman for a cutscene, during which you'll get the Mine Parts Kit and permission to use their old Spotter Car.

Return outside and speak with Roll. She'll take you inside the car and fix up the Mine Parts Kit to get you the Splash Mine. This is a land mine that will explode eventually or upon contact. You only have a limited amount of them, though, and cannot yet upgrade it.

Once you exit the car, a cutscene occurs; skip it. Go north into Apple Market. There, the north gate is blocked by some kids. Hold Circle and walk up to them to watch a scene. Skip it and take the nearby gate for another. Skip that one.

After you regain control, Jet Skate north to the "N" gate to reach the City Hall area. Go up to the building and speak with one of the cops. Skip the two ensuing scenes and leave via the door behind you, then through the door to the outside.

You'll watch another cutscene; skip it. Leave City Hall through the south gate back into Downtown.

There, you'll find Tron clinging to a light pole, with the dog nearby. Speak with Tron, and then the dog for a cutscene (there is a delayed skip in this one). After this, go back through the south gate twice to be in the Cardon Forest. After skipping the cutscene there, speak with Roll. Skip THIS cutscene.

You should head north into Apple Market. Go through the north gate. Skip the cutscene, then you'll fight a boss.

After the cutscene there, you'll now have to fight some tanks that are destroying the buildings of City Hall.

The Yass Plains

After defeating Bon, skip the ensuing scenes and leave the building. After the scene outside, get into the van to obtain the Walkie-Talkie. Then exit and go north to the Yass Plains.

Here, you'll be able to leave unscathed by simply Jet Skating between the tanks and ignoring them. Work your way to the eastern side of the area and head through the tunnel.

On the other side, you'll be able to see another tunnel from where you enter. Jet Skate towards it, ignoring the enemies as usual, then go through the tunnel.

On the other side, Jet Skate amongst the tanks and go towards the incline to start another boss.

The Cardon Sub-Gate

Skip the scene upon returning to City Hall. Exit and call Roll; go to the Cardon Forest. Go south from the Flutter towards the tunnel. Skip the cutscene, go through the tunnel, and skip the next cutscene. Here, you'll simply have to destroy all of the tanks in the way of the Support Car - nothing too tough. Get inside the car if you get in trouble. The car itself can be used as a shield.

Anyhow, once machines and the fence are destroyed, Roll will proceed to ram and destroy the fence. After the fence is destroyed, go into the Sub-Gate.

^l15|A map of the Cardon Sub-Gate.

When you get off the elevator, go to the left and you'll see a barrier and Roll will speak with you. Go further forward for another speech, then examine the podium-like console. The Starter Keys aren't here; as such, you'll be unable to lower the shield and grab the refractor until you do so. Go through the nearby doorway.

Here, you'll find three wasp nest-like things around the area. Immediately blast them to their death -- they'll become an utter nuisance otherwise. Go to the platform opposite the entrance and shoot down the bridge. Go to the platform on its opposite side, then proceed forward to the next one.

Get back to the previous ledge, then get onto the other unused one. Shoot down the bridge. Go across this drawbridge and through the door.

Here, destroy the enemies nearby. Get on the left wall and activate the switch to start the conveyor belt. Go into the hallway across from where you started. Go up the incline. Here, try to jump from solid platform to solid platform (the blue things break) to find the chest. Get onto the chest's platform and let the conveyor carry it on. While it does, continue along to the room with the compactor thing. Destroy the enemies in here and examine the hole in the wall to find 300 Zenny. Then just wait for the chest to get down here. When it hits the compactor, grab the yellow thing that drops out - it's another Starter Key!

Now, return to the room you originally entered, go into the hallway and up the incline, then jump across the platforms to the other side of the room. Go through the door.

On this HIGH ledge, open the chest to find the Spring Set. Go towards and through the door on the other side. In this next room, quickly step on each switch (from the closest to the farthest from the door) to get rid of the three barriers blocking your progress. Once you do, grab the yellow thing (the last Starter Key), and go through the door.

Drop to the floor and go up the ramp in the northwestern corner, then jump across the ledge you were first off this whole and return to the refractor room.

Here, examine the console and lower the shield to have MegaMan grab the yellow refractor. Then return aboveground.

The Lake Jyun Sub-Gate

Aboveground, enter the Support Car and speak with Roll and have her develop the Jump Springs, which is REQUIRED for completing the game. Now, drive to Downtown, then head west into Uptown.

Go to its highest point, atop the western ledges. Go through the doorway up here to find the boat shop. Once you enter the main building, go through the door to the left of the man behind the counter. Trying only gets a speech; try to again to get outside. Speak with one of the construction workers to opt to get Roll to work on the boat.

After the cutscene, you can now get onto the boat. Get onto the boat and skip the cutscene.

Afterwards, you'll begin to fight those water tanks the Bonnes developed. The path itself is predetermined, though the tanks seem to pop up randomly. All I can mention, really, is this: if the gauge in the upper-left (the boat's health) empties, it is a Game Over. You can prevent this by shooting the missiles/torpedos shot by the tanks. Eventually, though, you'll watch a scene between the Bonnes and another boss begins!

^l16|A map of the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate.

When you enter, you'll pretty much be somewhat free to Jet Skate along the path. Except for the enemies. In this place, it is actually better to walk around and destroy the enemies, but don't waste time to pick up any prizes. The path is very linear. Once you reach the big open room, go up the ledge on the left.

Jet Skate to the left and down this hall, and go directly for the chest. Open the nearby chest to find a Starter Key. Return to the main part and go down the hall on right side, ignore the nearby spider and go through the hallway and the doorway at its end.

Here, go onto the ledge in front of you and go into the room on the right. Open the chest there to find another Starter Key. Now, go onto the ledge in the southernmost point of the room as according to the map. Go down the side path, then jump to the ledge and into another room. Open the chest for the third Starter Key. Then jump atop the ledges on the northern side of the room and go through the doorway.

Here, beware of the alligator-like enemies because THEY WILL HURT. Jet Skating through here is sufficient, usually, for self-preservation. Simply go through the opposite doorway.

In this room, go through the doorway on the other and you'll find a red refractor and a console. Place the starters into the console and lower the shield, then you'll grab the refractor. Return to the previous room to find a boss.

The Clozer Woods Sub-Gate

After you exit the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate, get onto the boat to return to the mainland. Go back to the main part of Uptown and call Roll. Speak with her to return to the Flutter. Skip the ensuing cutscene, after which the Flutter can now be flown.

In the Flutter, leave Roll's room and go into the leftmost of the rooms, Barrel's. Go to the back and examine the antique ornate chest to find a Bomb Schematic. Leave the room and go to the TV room. Speak with Barrel. Then go into Roll's room and speak with her. Go to the R&D Room to develop the Grand Grenade with the Bomb Schematic. It is required for the next ruins, so equip it.

Speak with Roll outside the R&D Room to go to the Clozer Woods Sub-Gate.

^l17|A map of the Clozer Woods Sub-Gate.

If you haven't yet done so, equip the Grand Grenade. This weapon is a requirement of this Sub-Gate to finish it.

Once you enter, go through the door in front of you. In the next room, you'll find a hole in the floor. Jump down into the room, which has an elevator like that of the previous two Sub-Gates, but is currently inactive. If you do a 180 so the northeastern door is on the right of your facing, you'll find a door. Go into it to find the control room and a speech from Roll.

Return to the previous room and take the other door. Here, you'll find three or so of the green enemies from the Cardon Sub-Gate. Defeat the one nearest you (it usually will be the first to try to attack you, and it is quite close), then go through the door opposite the one you entered through.

Go to the eastern side of the room. You'll find two pillars and a high ledge here. Jump up the higher of the two pillars, then jump to the ledge and open the chest to find an ID Card. Then go to the northernmost portion of the room and take the door on the south side.

Go right and go along the hall. When you reach the next intersection, go right and down the incline. To your right is the generator; examine and activate it. Go into the western mini-room to find a chest with another ID Card. Now, return to the big room where you found your first ID Card. Here, exit through the northernmost door.

In this room, defeat the spider Reaverbots and look on the ceiling. On the IN-GAME map, it'll be marked by four dots. This square in the ceiling is weak; throw a Grand Grenade at it to crumble it. Jump into the above room and use the nearby door.

Here, in this next room, you'll find an elevator, which is now usable since the generator is on. Get on it and listen to Roll as you descend. Once you hit the ground, you'll have to do some fighting.

Here, you'll be in the generator room once more. Go along the ledge and go into the mini-room with the chest. Open it to receive the third and final ID Card. Jump to the ground, then go along the hallway to the big four-pillared room. Jump onto the western ledge and go through the door. Go through this next door, then go into the north-central door.

Go into the control room (northeastern door) and examine the computer thing to insert the ID Cards. This now opens the Main Gate. Return to the previous room, go up using the elevator, then go through the door up here. Go back up the elevator into the Flutter.

The Aerial Battles

After you open up the Main Gate and then return to the Flutter, go into Roll's room.

Tell Roll you want to return to the crash site. During the flight, you get some entertainment - the Bonnes come and attack!

The Main Gate, Part 1

After you defeat the Bonnes (again) and skip the cutscene, you'll be in the same spot as the Flutter crashed in. You can now access the Main Gate. Have Roll drive you to the Main Gate. Go on in.

^l18|A map of the Main Gate.

When you enter, all I can say is that it spirals down for a bit. As you go down, you'll find some beefed-up versions of the shield Reaverbots from the Clozer Sub-Gate; you'll be able to Jet Skate around these. Continue along the spiral and you'll find a door on the right. Ignore it and go into the next door you see.

Go forward and around the corner. Go to the alcove on the left and mess with the computer to unlock the Sub-Cities, which we will do shortly. Go forward into the next room and go through the door on your left. Go through some doors and up the ladder. Go into the Building 88 and skip the scene. Then...

The Sub-Cities

Old City

This place is filled with enemies, though I see no need to mention much. The only new thing is the green enemies -- larger versions of those you found in the Sub-Gates.

Anyhow, defeat all of the enemies in here and go to the largest of the buildings. It is now unlocked, because you defeated the enemies. Open the chest to get the Watcher Key and exit.

Downtown

Again, it is filled with enemies, including the larger green Reaverbot. As before, defeat them all and enter the large building. Because you defeated all of the enemies, it is now unlocked. Go inside and open the chest for the Sleeper Key, then leave.

Uptown

Main Gate, Part 2

After you have gotten the Watcher, Sleeper, and Dreamer Keys, it may be a good idea to consider doing some sidequests. Anyhow, when ready, enter the Main Gate once more.

^l19|A map of the Main Gate.

This time, when you travel, just go all of the way down the spiral. Slide between the single silver-shielded enemies; as for the duos, shoot them and jump over them. Eventually, you'll come to a door. Go into the room.

This room has three doors just to your right. Using the Watcher, Sleeper, and Dreamer Keys, you can unlock these doors and go through. After you do, go forward some more for a rather lengthy and plot-revealing scene. *cough* Skip it. *cough*

After this scene, in this hallway, Jet Skate along the hallway. Fairly linear and easy to follow.

You'll eventually walk into a room with ... OMGWTFBBQ! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT REFRACTOR!! The sad part about all of this is that you cannot take it. Ever.

Anyhow, go through the other door and just Jet Skate along the hallway You'll soon come to some doors. Go through them and you'll find Data. Speak with him to recharge (this seriously will be needed if you're damaged whatsoever). Go through the door.

After skipping a scene, you'll fight the final boss!

Speed-Run Walkthrough (Normal/Hard Difficulties)

Some Notes (READ!)

The below is a list of notes concerning this I have compiled; within the walkthrough, remember that all of these are entirely implied unless stated otherwise!

• First and foremost, this Speed-Run walkthrough will apply solely to the Normal/Hard difficulties, as the Easy difficulty has different cirumstances surrounding it.
• In correlation with the above, all boss data shown is solely for Normal/Hard modes, although it is noted in the strategies.
• All non-necessary battles are to be skipped unless your health depends on that one energy cube.
• Next, I must address how extremist this Speed-Run Walkthrough is. It is best for only veterans to do this. Why? Well, consider that we are getting few treasures, very little shopping, and only two special weapons. A couple of inventions only, and only the initial five health cubes. No sidequesting for money. Very few Buster Parts (those that won't take but a few seconds to grab). On Hard, enemies has double health and deal double damage. I think you get the idea.
• Use the Start Button to skip every single cutscene. Use the Triangle button to speed up all text conversations.
• Outside of the ruins, use Roll to transport you from place-to-place when possible.
• This walkthrough is somewhat more specific. It helps to follow this in a somewhat word-for-word manner to minimize time played.
• You'll want to master the "art" of diagonal running. What is this? Consider you have a square. You're at one corner, with your destination at the other, no obstacles in-between. It is approximately 1.414 times faster to go diagonally than around to it. This benefit will change, of course, depending on the triangular angle formed by you, the destination, and the intersection of the lines, but it is always a benefit.
• Time Expectancy: 75 ~ 90 minutes. This one is more dependent on how extremist you go. This one is less extremist than the one for Easy mode, because I think you'd be fighting bosses for longer if you went that extremist, so I helped with a few decent Buster Parts. Of course, go more extremist if you want.
• Personal Record: 49 minutes, 16 seconds on Normal; 59 minutes, 31 seconds on Hard.

Mystery Ruins

Upon beginning, go forward and take a right at the intersection. Go down this hall and, when you see the door, stop and go into it. In the next room, head to the other side of the room and go through the door.

Here, go up the ramp, jump onto the ledge, then Jet Skate towards the hallway. After the quick cutscene, run all of the way down the hall, taking none of the side paths. You'll find that large spider-like Reaverbot. Shoot it down and approach the room nearby. From a distance, shoot down the two towers. Get onto the ledge and open the right of the chests for a Power Raiser. Go back down the hall. At the first opportunity, go left. You'll watch a conversation between MegaMan and Roll, after which you should into the room nearby via the door.

You'll fight a boss.

Arrival on Kattlelox

Skip the two scenes following the boss.

Once you regain control, head along the path to the north. As you do, a police car will come; skip this cutscene. Return to the crash site and speak with the professor, then skip the scene.

Afterward, go along the path you were going on earlier. When you reach the door with the "N" on it, press Circle to get into Apple Market.

There, go into the Junk Shop and speak with the woman inside. Select to go check on her husband. He is in the weird dome-shaped building you passed on the way here.

Portal 1

When you enter, turn around and head down the hallway on the left, ignoring the enemies. You'll soon reach a hallway on your right. Continue skating and go down the incline, then into the nearby room. Start blasting all of the worm-like Reaverbots nearby. After doing so, get onto the ledge and speak with the man. Press Start to skip the cutscene, then leave the way you came, ignoring the enemies as you go.

Pirates!?

Outside of the ruins, go back into Apple Market and into the junk shop. Speak with the woman for a cutscene, during which you'll get the Mine Parts Kit and permission to use their old Spotter Car.

Return outside and speak with Roll. She'll take you inside the car and fix up the Mine Parts Kit to get you the Splash Mine. This is a land mine that will explode eventually or upon contact. You only have a limited amount of them, though, and cannot yet upgrade it.

Once you exit the car, a cutscene occurs; skip it. Go north into Apple Market. There, the north gate is blocked by some kids. Hold Circle and walk up to them to watch a scene. Skip it and take the nearby gate for another. Skip that one.

After you regain control, go north to the "N" gate to reach the City Hall area. Go up to the building and speak with one of the cops. Skip the two ensuing scenes and leave via the door behind you, then through the door to the outside.

You'll watch another cutscene; skip it. Leave City Hall through the south gate back into Downtown.

There, you'll find Tron clinging to a light pole, with the dog nearby. Speak with Tron, and then the dog for a cutscene (there is a delayed skip in this one). After this, go back through the south gate twice to be in the Cardon Forest. After skipping the cutscene there, speak with Roll. Skip THIS cutscene.

You should head north into Apple Market. Take a few seconds to go into the Junk Shop and buy a Power Raiser Alpha, if possible. Afterwards, go through the north gate. Skip the cutscene, then you'll fight a boss.

After the cutscene there, you'll now have to fight some tanks that are destroying the buildings of City Hall.

The Yass Plains

After defeating Bon, skip the ensuing scenes and leave the building. After the scene outside, get into the van to obtain the Walkie-Talkie. Then exit and go north to the Yass Plains.

Here, you'll be able to leave unscathed by simply running between the tanks and ignoring them. Work your way to the eastern side of the area and head through the tunnel.

On the other side, you'll be able to see another tunnel from where you enter. Run towards it, ignoring the enemies as usual, then go through the tunnel.

On the other side, run amongst the tanks and go towards the incline to start another boss.

The Cardon Sub-Gate

Skip the scene upon returning to City Hall. Exit and call Roll; go to the Cardon Forest. Go south from the Flutter towards the tunnel. Skip the cutscene, go through the tunnel, and skip the next cutscene. Here, you'll simply have to destroy all of the tanks in the way of the Support Car - nothing too tough. Get inside the car if you get in trouble. The car itself can be used as a shield.

Anyhow, once machines and the fence are destroyed, Roll will proceed to ram and destroy the fence. After the fence is destroyed, go into the Sub-Gate.

^l22|A map of the Cardon Sub-Gate.

When you get off the elevator, go to the left and you'll see a barrier and Roll will speak with you. Go further forward for another speech, then examine the podium-like console. The Starter Keys aren't here; as such, you'll be unable to lower the shield and grab the refractor until you do so. Go through the nearby doorway.

Here, you'll find three wasp nest-like things around the area. It is implied that you defeat them when they are near enough to you to do so -- they'll become an utter nuisance otherwise. Go to the platform opposite the entrance and shoot down the bridge. Go to the platform on its opposite side, then proceed forward to the next one.

Get back to the previous ledge, then get onto the other unused one. Shoot down the bridge. Go across this drawbridge and through the door.

Here, destroy the enemies nearby. Get on the left wall and activate the switch to start the conveyor belt. Go into the hallway across from where you started. Go up the incline. Here, try to jump from solid platform to solid platform (the blue things break) to find the chest. Get onto the chest's platform and let the conveyor carry it on. While it does, continue along to the room with the compactor thing. Destroy the enemies in here and examine the hole in the wall to find 300 Zenny. Then just wait for the chest to get down here. When it hits the compactor, grab the yellow thing that drops out - it's another Starter Key!

Now, return to the room you originally entered, go into the hallway and up the incline, then jump across the platforms to the other side of the room. Go through the door.

On this HIGH ledge, open the chest to find the Spring Set. Go towards and through the door on the other side. In this next room, quickly step on each switch (from the closest to the farthest from the door) to get rid of the three barriers blocking your progress. Once you do, grab the yellow thing (the last Starter Key), and go through the door.

Drop to the floor and go up the ramp in the northwestern corner, then jump across the ledge you were first off this whole and return to the refractor room.

Here, examine the console and lower the shield to have MegaMan grab the yellow refractor. Then return aboveground.

The Lake Jyun Sub-Gate

Aboveground, enter the Support Car and speak with Roll and have her develop the Jump Springs, which is REQUIRED for completing the game.

Now, we're going to do some SLIGHT sidequesting. Go back into the Cardon Sub-Gate and turn left. Jump onto the ledge and go along the path to the door. Go through to Portal 2, then go into the room directly across from you to receive the Rollerboard. Go upstairs and examine the two holes for over 10,000 Zenny total (remember to, later on, buy a Flak Jacket with this, and any Energy Canteen units, or a Laser and Sniper Range/Power Raiser Omega, but only do this if you're not too confident in your abilities). Go out to the main room and onto the opposite ledge. In the chest that should be farthest from you (southernmost part of the room) is a Buster Unit. Now, leave and have Roll drive you to Uptown.

Go to its highest point, atop the western ledges. Go through the doorway up here to find the boat shop. Once you enter the main building, go through the door to the left of the man behind the counter. Trying only gets a speech; try to again to get outside. Speak with one of the construction workers to opt to get Roll to work on the boat.

After the cutscene, you can now get onto the boat. Get onto the boat and skip the cutscene.

Afterwards, you'll begin to fight those water tanks the Bonnes developed. The path itself is predetermined, though the tanks seem to pop up randomly. All I can mention, really, is this: if the gauge in the upper-left (the boat's health) empties, it is a Game Over. You can prevent this by shooting the missiles/torpedos shot by the tanks. Eventually, though, you'll watch a scene between the Bonnes and another boss begins!

^l23|A map of the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate.

When you enter, you'll pretty much be somewhat free to run along the path. Except for the enemies. In this place, it is actually better to walk around and destroy the enemies, but don't pick up any prizes. The path is very linear. Once you reach the big open room, go into the small room on the right to find the Old Hoverjets. Go back to the big room and west into the next room.

Run to the left and down this hall, and go directly for the chest. Open the nearby chest to find a Starter Key. Return to the main part and go down the hall on right side, ignore the nearby spider and go through the hallway and the doorway at its end.

Here, go onto the ledge in front of you and go into the room on the right. Open the chest there to find another Starter Key. Now, go onto the ledge in the southernmost point of the room as according to the map. Go down the side path, then jump to the ledge and into another room. Open the chest for the third Starter Key. Then jump atop the ledges in the central part of the room to find the Joint Plug, then jump on the northern ledges of the room and go through the doorway.

Here, beware of the alligator-like enemies because THEY WILL HURT. Running through here is sufficient, usually, for self-preservation. Simply go through the opposite doorway.

In this room, go through the doorway on the other and you'll find a red refractor and a console. Place the starters into the console and lower the shield, then you'll grab the refractor. Return to the previous room to find a boss.

The Clozer Woods Sub-Gate

After you exit the Lake Jyun Sub-Gate, get onto the boat to return to the mainland. Go back to the main part of Uptown and call Roll. Speak with her to return to the Flutter. Skip the ensuing cutscene, after which the Flutter can now be flown.

In the Flutter, leave Roll's room and go into the leftmost of the rooms, Barrel's. Go to the back and examine the antique ornate chest to find a Bomb Schematic. Leave the room and go to the TV room. Speak with Barrel. Then go into Roll's room and speak with her. Go to the R&D Room to develop the Grand Grenade with the Bomb Schematic, as well as the Jet Skates (immediately equip) and the Adapter Plug. The first one required for the next ruins, so equip it. As for the Adapter Plug, we'll fill in the third slot later.

Speak with Roll outside the R&D Room to go to the Clozer Woods Sub-Gate.

^l24|A map of the Clozer Woods Sub-Gate.

If you haven't yet done so, equip the Grand Grenade. This weapon is a requirement of this Sub-Gate to finish it.

Once you enter, go through the door in front of you. In the next room, you'll find a hole in the floor. Jump down into the room, which has an elevator like that of the previous two Sub-Gates, but is currently inactive. If you do a 180 so the northeastern door is on the right of your facing, you'll find a door. Go into it to find the control room and a speech from Roll.

Return to the previous room and take the other door. Here, you'll find three or so of the green enemies from the Cardon Sub-Gate. Defeat the one nearest you (it usually will be the first to try to attack you, and it is quite close), then go into the room on your left and examine one of the holes for the Tele-Lens. Afterwards, go through the door opposite the one you initially entered through.

Go to the eastern side of the room. You'll find two pillars and a high ledge here. Jump up the higher of the two pillars, then jump to the ledge and open the chest to find an ID Card. Then go to the northernmost portion of the room and take the door on the south side.

Go left to find a Target Sensor in the chest. Return to the entrance, then go right and go along the hall. When you reach the next intersection, go right and down the incline. To your right is the generator; examine and activate it. Go into the western mini-room to find a chest with another ID Card. Now, return to the big room where you found your first ID Card. Here, exit through the northernmost door.

In this room, defeat the spider Reaverbots and look on the ceiling. On the IN-GAME map, it'll be marked by four dots. This square in the ceiling is weak; throw a Grand Grenade at it to crumble it. Jump into the above room and use the nearby door.

Here, in this next room, you'll find an elevator, which is now usable since the generator is on. Get on it and listen to Roll as you descend. Once you hit the ground, you'll have to do some fighting.

Here, you'll be in the generator room once more. Go along the ledge and go into the mini-room with the chest. Open it to receive the third and final ID Card. Jump to the ground, then go along the hallway to the big four-pillared room. Jump onto the western ledge and go through the door. Go through this next door, then go into the north-central door.

Go into the control room (northeastern door) and examine the computer thing to insert the ID Cards. This now opens the Main Gate. Return to the previous room, go up using the elevator, then go through the door up here. Go back up the elevator into the Flutter.

The Aerial Battles

After you open up the Main Gate and then return to the Flutter, go into Roll's room. Go into the R&D Room to make the Sniper Scope, a good thing to equip. Make a Laser/Buster Unit/Sniper Scopee combination.

Afterwards, tell Roll you want to return to the crash site. During the flight, you get some entertainment - the Bonnes come and attack!

The Main Gate, Part 1

After you defeat the Bonnes (again) and skip the cutscene, you'll be in the same spot as the Flutter crashed in. You can now access the Main Gate. Have Roll drive you to the Main Gate. Go on in.

^l25|A map of the Main Gate.

When you enter, all I can say is that it spirals down for a bit. As you go down, you'll find some beefed-up versions of the shield Reaverbots from the Clozer Sub-Gate; you'll be able to Jet Skate around these. Continue along the spiral and you'll find a door on the right. Go through it and grab the Buster Unit Omega, then leave and go into the next door you see.

Go forward and around the corner. Go to the alcove on the left and mess with the computer to unlock the Sub-Cities, which we will do shortly. Go forward into the next room and go through the door on your left. Go through some doors and up the ladder. Go into the Building 88 and skip the scene. Then...

The Sub-Cities

Old City

This place is filled with enemies, though I see no need to mention much. The only new thing is the green enemies -- larger versions of those you found in the Sub-Gates.

Anyhow, defeat all of the enemies in here and go to the largest of the buildings. It is now unlocked, because you defeated the enemies. Open the chest to get the Watcher Key and exit.

Downtown

Again, it is filled with enemies, including the larger green Reaverbot. As before, defeat them all and enter the large building. Because you defeated all of the enemies, it is now unlocked. Go inside and open the chest for the Sleeper Key, then leave.

Uptown

Main Gate, Part 2

After you have gotten the Watcher, Sleeper, and Dreamer Keys, it may be a good idea to consider doing some sidequests. Anyhow, when ready, enter the Main Gate once more.

^l26|A map of the Main Gate.

This time, when you travel, just go all of the way down the spiral. Slide between the single silver-shielded enemies; as for the duos, shoot them and jump over them. Eventually, you'll come to a door. Go into the room.

This room has three doors just to your right. Using the Watcher, Sleeper, and Dreamer Keys, you can unlock these doors and go through. After you do, go forward some more for a rather lengthy and plot-revealing scene. *cough* Skip it. *cough*

After this scene, in this hallway, Jet Skate along the hallway, ignoring the chest (it won't affect anything, honestly). Fairly linear and easy to follow, the path is.

You'll eventually walk into a room with ... OMGWTFBBQ! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT REFRACTOR!! The sad part about all of this is that you cannot take it. Ever.

Anyhow, go through the other door and just Jet Skate along the hallway You'll soon come to some doors. Go through them and you'll find Data. Speak with him to recharge (this seriously will be needed if you're damaged whatsoever). Go through the door.

After skipping a scene, you'll fight the final boss!

Sidequests

Jim's Hideout

• Availability: Upon getting the Class A License?
• Rewards: X Buster, Marlwolf Shell, Broken Circuits, Old Heater.

After getting the Class A License, go to the Yass Plains. Go to the southernmost part of the first area and go into what used to be an abandoned building. Speak with Jim and become a member of the club. Then go in front of the bank and speak with the construction worker. You should be given the Pickax. Return to Jim's hideout and give him the Pickax.

Now, go around and do some stuff. Usually, the next part is available by the time you get the Yellow Refractor, assuming you started as early as possible, though it is TIME-based.

Return and, if the inside has some changes, speak with Jim again. Now you need a Saw. Return to the construction guy. Speak with him and kick one of the northwestern trash cans in Downtown to find the Saw. Go to Jim's and give it to him.

Go and do some more stuff. By the time you get the Red Refractor, it'll be ready to continue.

Return and you should see an annex on the building. Go inside and speak with Jim. You should be told to investigate the nearby pile of stuff. I think you get the Broken Circuits.

Now, you can go and search for stuff to give Jim.

• Beetle: Found in the second part of the Yass Plains, I think.
• Stag Beetle: Another beetle is found in the southern part of the Cardon Forest, atop a hill.
• Comic: Found behind the Junk Store's place in the Yass Plains.

One of the beetles can be traded for the Old Heater, another for the Marlwolf Shell, and the Comic can definitely be traded for the X Buster.

Once you find the items, speak with Jim a few times to get the correct items.

Uptown KTOX Minigames

• Availability: Upon receiving your Class A License.
• Rewards: A lot of Zenny; Zetsabre; Mystic Orb; Music Box; Omni-Unit; Giant Horn.

Whenever you unlock Uptown (which I think is around the time you get the Class A License), you can go there. Go there and you'll find a building on the left from the entrance with KTOX on it. Go inside. Here, you can speak to the receptionist to play the Beast Hunter and Balloon Fantasy games. Later, when you make the Jet Skates, you can speak with the man on the right to play the races. Here's some stuff about these games.

Hospital Sidequest

• Availability: Upon opening Uptown (getting your Class A License).
• Rewards: Flower Pearl.

Whenever you unlock the Hospital and Uptown, go into the hospital and go into the waiting room on the right. Speak with the girl, Ira, in the wheelchair, then go speak to the receptionist. Go into the door on the right and speak with the nurse inside.

Next, you'll have to raise 15,000 Zenny. This is easily done in less than 10 minutes using the racing minigames above -- proper skills on the Left Curve Course can yield the 15,000 Zenny in about two to three minutes! Once you do, go to City Hall and ask Amelia of the Hospital's equipment. Hand her the cash and return to the hospital. (If there is a time wait, I don't know. I went straight to Lake Jyun for some reason). Speak with Ira to get the reward.

Police Quest: Bomb Diffusing

• Availability: Upon retrieving the Yellow Refractor. You'll need the Jump Springs, too.
• Rewards: Bomb, Plastique.

When you get the Yellow Refractor, go to the police station in City Hall (it must be repaired). Go into the investigator's office and speak with him to learn of a bomb threat on Downtown. Go there now.

The bombs' locations are randomized, I think. They look like orange cylinders. One will be on a rooftop; the other will be on the ground. If one fails to detonate, you'll lose one of the above rewards.

Police Quest: Stolen Cash!

• Availability: Upon retrieving the Red Refractor?
• Rewards: Arm Supporter.

After getting the Red Refractor from Lake Jyun, go to the (repaired) police station again. (You'll do the first one if you haven't done it yet.) Speaking with the inspector reveals that a man has had a bag of cash stolen. The victim is outside the office. Speak with the man to learn that it may be at the electronics shop.

Go to Apple Market and into the electronics shop. Speak with the owner, then go to the bakery. Speak with the baker and go to the library (it'll need to be repaired, too). Speak with the librarian and go to the soda machine (I believe it is the northeastern one). Speak with the kid there and go to the kid near the trash can on the northwest block. Open the nearby trash can to find the money. Go to the police station and speak with the Inspector. Eventually, you'll be given your reward.

The Pregnant Woman

• Availability: Upon unlocking the Main Gate.
• Rewards: Sun-Light.

After unlocking the Main Gate, go to Apple Market and speak with the vegetable store owner. Then leave and go to Cardon Forest. Near where Portal 2 is, assuming the direction to the Sub-Gate is south, go into the western alcove to find the woman. Speak with her and take her to the hospital. Leave the hospital, re-enter, and speak with the store owner.

Museum Artifact Hunting

• Availability: Upon opening Uptown, though the reward is unobtainable until the Main Gate opens.
• Rewards: Prism Crystal.

When you open Uptown, go onto the hill in the western part of town, near the Boat Shop. Find and speak with the artist. Tell her she needs some more red. Go to the women's clothing store and speak with the cashier to get the (used) Lipstick. Return to the artist and let her finish the picture. She'll later appear in the top floor of the now-opened Museum (in Uptown) as its curator. If you have one of the below items, you can speak to her to learn about it and give it to her (and see it, as well).

• Antique Bell: In the Clozer Woods. You know that room with the four large pillars in it? Each of those has a hole. One of these holes has the item in it. (The others have Zenny, so its worth checking them all, anyhow.)

• Giant Horn: Get the Jet Skates and go to Uptown. Speak with the blue-shirted man on the right and complete the Technical Course through Rank A.

• Old Bone: In the Cardon Sub-Gate. Get onto that very high ledge where you found the Spring Kit in the chest. As you approach the other door, be aware of the hole to the left.

• Old Doll: In the Cardon Sub-Gate. You know those rooms with the exploding orange enemies? One of those two rooms (the higher one, with the hallway connection) has a hole. Check it.

• Old Heater: One of the rewards for the Jim's Hideout sidequest above.

• Old Shield: In Portal 2. You know that room with the small squat orange pointy Reaverbots sitting all over the ledges? Check a hole in here.

• Shiny Object: In Portal 2. In the same room above, go to the northernmost ledge and go along it to the doorway. Go through and turn left. Defeat the metal spider and check the hole.

• Shiny Red Object: In the Main Gate. You know room with the computer console and three dogs? Go into the hallways to the south and into the western rectangular hallway. Investigate a hole and you'll find it.

The Robbery

• Availability: After beating Bruno, and repairing the Police Station, Bank, and Library.
• Rewards: 20,000 Zenny, or 200,000 Zenny and the Stripe Burgers burger joint (see below for details).

After defeating Bruno, head to the Flutter and examine the TV. You should get word of a robbery. Head to Downtown. Here, a police car will be chasing a red car (filled with Servbots). Shoot at the red car until it explodes, then examine the suitcase.

You now have two options. Either you can return it to the Inspector to get 20,000 and a glimpse at the Servbot restaurant ... or you can grab it and try to leave through the gates and get to keep the WHOLE WHOPPING 200,000 Zenny!!! Your choice.

• Post-Final Changes:
  • Did a major revamp of the Boss Bestiaries by adding difficulty-specific info; also put this info in the walkthrough. There was also some general, mild editing, and another site added to the Forbidden List in the Legal section. 1:12 AM 11/24/2011
  • Added a new cash-gaining tip! 3:04 PM 12/3/2011
  • Added two Speed-Run Walkthroughs for Easy and Normal/Hard. You know, it's almost impossible thinking of this FAQ as that crappy FAQ from nearly three years ago, this being almost five times as large and infinitely better. It's just ... amazing. 11:32 PM 12/4/2011
  • Readability and grammar edit in the Special Weapons section. 12:05 AM 12/9/2011
  • Recommended Buster Combination error in the Normal/Hard Speed-Run Walkthrough corrected. Also did a bit of rearranging in some of the lists. 12:55 AM 12/17/2011
  • Added some shop data and went around to correct a bunch else of things, make things look better, stuff like that. 10:39 PM 4/17/2012
  • Finalized the Junk Shop Data, fixed a few typos, rearranged a few things, and I think I'm done with this. 11:10 PM 7/26/2012
  • Major format reworking, most of it on the backend for my benefit, but plenty for you, too. 2:41 AM 3/13/2013
