Introduction

Welcome to my most recent FAQ/Walkthrough for the PlayStation console. This FAQ will cover one of my absolute favorite games, MegaMan Legends 2. This game was released more than ten years ago when I wrote this, and when I first played it, and yet, even by modern standards, this game is perhaps the best way to spend your money. Especially if you have around a hundred bucks burning a hole in your digital wallet.

This wouldn't be my first FAQ, either. My first ever FAQ was written for this game's prequel, MegaMan Legends, way back in 2008, and later re-done in late 2011. That FAQ is, by a long gap, perhaps my best ever FAQ/Walkthrough. And, given that this is my 183rd FAQ or so, that means quite a lot! ^_^

Maybe it won't take me four years like with the original to feel that this FAQ is finally complete. In fact, it probably won't take but a month at the most. (I hope.)

Well, useless rambling aside, I hope you enjoy this FAQ for perhaps the greatest PlayStation game in history!

Nah, screw that - it is the greatest PlayStation game in history!

Walkthrough

Welcome to the bulk of this FAQ/Walkthrough. Within this section, you'll find a wealth of information, guiding you from start to finish for this game. All of the info is arranged in a semi-chronological order. This section has been arranged into some smaller sub-sections so you can find what you want a bit more easily. What the sub-sections are can be found by looking in the Table of Contents section near the top of the document.

Prologue: The Flutter

Welcome to our next adventure! During the introductory scenes, Roll will ask you some questions. You can feel free to bypass them, since most of the stuff is obvious except for the question concerning your weapons. Remember how you spent twelve hours grinding up 1,760,000 Zenny for the super-powerful Active Buster in MegaMan Legends 1? Roll sold it and all of your weapons, except apparently your always-on Jump Springs. GAH! >_<

Anywho, onto business. When you find the fires in front of you caused by Data's ... whatever, you'll be asked if you know how to use the Aqua Blaster. If you do, great. If you don't, you should use the Triangle Button. Here, the Square Button also suffices, but, in most other instances, that will control the Buster Gun. Go forward and take out the fires in the area. From the intersection, go left and through the door in front of you to the living room.

Take out of the fires in here, but be careful of the door diagonally opposite of where you enter. Odd as it is (it leads to the bathroom), flames will burst and explode through the door when you put out the fire near it. Once these fires are extinguished, go through the door directly opposite the one you entered through. On the other side is the kitchen. Within, you'll find the cause of the fire - Data burning some pizza. Enjoy his semi-humorous cries for a bit, if you want, but you'll eventually have to put out the fires. Also beware of the flaming Data - he'll have a random tendency to ram you for reasons unknown, so quickly put him out too.

Afterwards, you'll watch a scene concerning the progress on the Sulphur Bottom. Apparently, Bluecher is indeed going into Forbidden Island for the second time, much like three decades ago; all he needs to do is bypass that big vortex around the island. The ship is attacked by the person looking like Roll's mother, though, and begins to nosedive towards the island.

The Flutter, however, is unable to make it through the vortex, and doesn't have much fuel left anyways, so they decide to set down on Yosyonke Island.

Prologue: Arrival on Yosyonke Island

To explain briefly on the above checklist. The basic idea for it is that it is quite helpful in making sure you've found everything, and does so in a checklist-style format in case you decide to print this FAQ out. It will list, chronologically, left-to-right then top-to-bottom, the treasures found during the course of the given sub-section.

So, anyhow, you're on Yosyonke (man, I'm going to hate typing that for a while). Once you land, go back into the Flutter. Go through the door marked with the wheel to the cabin and hand Roll 2,000 Zenny to fix up the Flutter. You can do other stuff like this later, depending on how much Zenny you have on hand, but it's pretty optional, albeit quite helpful in the end.

Exit the cabin and through the "M" door into MegaMan's room. (What, did you think it meant "Mario"?) Within, examine some of the stuff to the left of the door to find 1,000 Zenny. Return to the hallway and go into the room with the "B", Barrel's room, and examine the bed. Odd place to keep 5,000 Zenny worth of crystals, but whatever. Also examine the nearby Flutter model for 1,000 Zenny before leaving to the hall. Go down the ladder nearby, then go straight across and down another ladder.

Down here, go through the green door and examine the paneling to the right to find a conveniently-stashed 2,000 Zenny. Return outside and go into the blue door and cross the room to the R&D Room. Examine the crap on the floor to find something not quite so crappy - Rapid Fire. Put this on your Buster, for it will end up boosting the speed at which you fire.

Leave the Flutter.

Back in the snow, go ahead and speak with Data to save your game. Go to his left and along the path into the town of Calinca. There, you'll need to head into the Junk Shop and you'll find the owner speaking with some dude named Joe. The owner tries in vain to stop Joe from going to some ruins. Roll will then show the owner the Dropship and find out that Joe had the same design. By that logic alone, Roll claims Joe to be her father and leaves.

Leave, but don't follow Roll yet. First, go further along the cobblestone road and turn left to head between the buildings. You'll see a yellow can nearby - unlike the original MegaMan Legends, it's useless. Relativistically speaking, anyways - you can kick it into a trash can for 200 Zenny, and the can resets after entering and leaving a building. (The relativistic part comes in that, in MML1, you get 1,000 Zenny.) Meanwhile, examine the nearby trash can for the Mechanic Notes 1. Continue circling around the outer fringes of the area to find another treasure inside a trash can - 1,000 Zenny. Go into the entrance of the nearby house and examine some of the stuff to the right to find a Broken Vacuum, part of an extremely useful invention called the Vacuum Arm.

Remember where the Junk Shop is? Go around to the back of it and through its back door. Speak with the owner and you'll receive the Reaverbot Claw, which can traded later on for something quite useful. Go around front and speak with him if you want to buy some items from him. I recommend the Rollerboard, Power Raiser, Normal Armor, then spend everything else on the Bionic Parts (boosts maximum health) and Energy Canteen (health restorer). Equip the Power Raiser and leave the store.

Outside, go right and back to the landing area. To the left and forward, you'll see a building. Go to the door opposite the Flutter, where Roll is. Speak with her and say what you will, then enter. Inside, you'll find a Dropship. Holy crap, THAT was unexpected.

MegaMan and Roll will scope the place out before some snobbish girl comes in, telling you eventually that Joe went to the ruins, and that she doesn't know of anyone named "Caskett". Whelp, I guess Joe is not Roll's father. Maybe.

Anyhow, Roll wants to go to the ruins. Leave the building and go back to Data. Save if you want, then go through the gate nearby.

Prologue: Abandoned Yosyonke Mines

This is where you'll begin to get use out of that Buster Gun, especially given that the alternatives are just throwing enemies with your Lifter, or spraying them to death with your Aqua Blaster. (Which, in theory, given the cold environment, actually should be freezing them. Hm.) Also, for a few laughs, try picking up Roll with the Lifter.

Outside, you'll basically want to follow the given path to the left along the railroad tracks. At random points along the way, you'll fight some Reaverbots. During the fights, you're welcome to shoot around sporadically; just note that hitting Roll will affect her diary entries, but little more. If she gets hurt too much, she'll fail to follow you until spoken to. Continue along to the entrance into the mines at the end of the tracks. Go inside if you want, though, to the right, you can also find a side path. Right now, it has no true use other than more fighting and completionism crap; later on, we can find treasures.

So, as for the actual mine...

You can pretty much just follow Roll for the majority of this part of the dungeon. If you get lost, go east to the next room, then north and east. There are two rooms jutting off of this one, and Roll just went east. She definitely can fend for herself, so let's go north. Defeat the Reaverbots you'll find in here, then go east and along the linear path of rooms.

At the end, you'll find a free-to-take treasure chest. Open it to find the Broken Model Gun, then backtrack your way north, west, and south to where your path and Roll's split up. Go east and you'll meet up with her. She wants to continue belowground with you, but MegaMan eventually persuades her not to.

After all, she usually is the Spotter. Anywho, MegaMan goes down the elevator to find Joe.

Wow, so complex. Anyhow, go into the room in front of you and you'll find two chests with money totalling 400 Zenny. Leave the room, then go left, then left at the next intersection. Go along this path, defeating Reaverbots as you go. At the next intersection (west/south), go west and through the door to find the Old Hoverjets. With these and the Rollerboard, we can make the Jet Skates!

Wait, doesn't that sound familiar?

Anywho, exit that room and go back to the west/south intersection. Go south to another intersection, at which you'll continue south. Go into the room on your right to find 500 Zenny inside a chest, then exit and go along this hall with the Reaverbots. Go back west, then north, then west. Defeat some Reaverbots and continue along to the elevator that will take you into the next area.

In the next room, you'll see a big refractor nearby, as well as Joe leaning against the wall, injured. Apparently, the big Reaverbot in the next room kicked the crap out of him (what a surprise), and it needs to be defeated before it reaches full power and wreaks havoc on Calinca. Go through the door nearby and you'll meet your first boss.

Prologue: The Forbidden Island

Once you crash-land on yet another island, go north and defeat the Reaverbots. Go further on and you'll notice some trapped people. Hm... As you continue along northward, you'll notice some lumps in the ground; shoot them to make some Reaverbots rise. Blast 'em and continue onwards. Further ahead, in the relative clearing, you'll find a wolf-like Reaverbot howling as it thrusts you into combat.

The battle with the wolf is, at best, a mini-boss and, most likely, just a slightly harder battle. It'll mostly be a shoot-and-dodge type of fight - at least, that's the safest way to battle this one, despite that it may take a while with the wolf's tendency to leap around.

After the battle, go along northward some more. You'll defeat some more enemies before reaching some icy domes. As you approach some, large Reaverbots come out of them. Blast 'em and move on - they're pretty easy to deal with, despite their size. Defeat the trio of them and you'll soon find yourself on a fairly narrow path.

This narrow path will have some more tank Reaverbots speeding along it. You'll need to time your movements so that, as one enemy passes, you rush forward somehow - Jet Skates would be preferable - and get into an alcove on the side before the next one passes by. Repeat and, on the other side, you'll meet up with some weird old dancin' monkey. Oh, right, that monkey. Speak with Data to heal and save, then go towards the end of the linear path. Atop the hill is some type of crystal.

Examine it and some stuff will happen. Roll will lose contact with you and a massive Reaverbot comes from below.

As for MegaMan, we see him gazing at the purplish crystal in the sky. It will sky, then disintegrate, leaving behind a man and an apparently naked woman. Ooh la la; definitely not rated "E". The scene will shift to the woman that looks like Roll's mother, Yuna, and her assistant, Gatts. Apparently Sera has been awakened. Well, lotsa plot in one minor scene.

The man with Sera, Geetz, will speak on how Yuna refuses to let Sera have the Keys, and Sera will ponder about how strange Yuna's logic is, just like the Master's. (Don't worry, all will be made clear in about fifteen hours.) Anyhow, Sera will speak with MegaMan and the Sulphur Bottom lands. We'll then watch as the Bonnes listen on Bluecher. He is currently speaking of the Mother Lode; how it is a source of infinite power, being able to let whosoever has it make all of the refractors civilization will ever need.

Back to the Bonnes. Teisel gets mad as Glyde speaks about them being a "unified front". Teisel calms down slightly when Tron mentions how they can just dump Glyde and his gang whenever. The group then decides on a plan - split up and take to the towns with ruins on them. Klaymoor leaves to speak with a friend, Bola. Somewhere else, Barrell and Bluecher end up calling MegaMan onto the ship.

Prologue: The Sulphur Bottom

As you enter the main hall of the Sulphur Bottom, you'll want to go south into the Flutter room. There, you'll want to check some of the crates in the area. Examine them clockwise and you'll probably obtain a total of 2,800 Zenny and a Heavy Duty Gear. In the southeastern corner is an additional crate you can examine for some laughs. Inside, you'll find the Junk Shop. Buy what you want - I'd opt for the Padded Armor, Long Barrel, and Bottle Rocket - before leaving.

Back in the Flutter room, go north and to the main hall. Inside the southeastern room of this deck should be a plant which can be examined for 500 Zenny. Return to the main hall and go north to Bluecher's office. Speak with them and agree to find the four Keys to the Mother Lode. We'll then end up going to find the first one, on Manda Island, where the pirates already are.

Leave the office and you'll speak with Roll. Afterwards, head back to the Flutter and, in the cabin, speak with Roll. The repairs to the Flutter should be finished by now, so go down the ladder to the lower deck from the hallway. Go down the hall and left, then go right into the storage area, where you examine the chest for a Broken Motor. Return to Roll and you can now have her develop the Vacuum Arm, Homing Missile, and Machine Gun Arm. Upgrade what you want on a particular weapon. You'll need to start picking out a good weapon to use for the majority of the game - I prefer the Homing Missile - so equip and upgrade it after you max the Vacuum Arm. Trust me, you'll want the Vacuum Arm in some of these ruins...

Also speak with Roll and have her fly to Manda Island.

Key #1: Arrival on Manda Island

When you arrive on the island, you can go along the path ahead of you. In the field with the Servbots, you can go left into the Class B Ruins, if you want; there isn't much major there that would affect the other stuff before entering the Manda Ruins, so we'll leave it until we're done plundering the island.

If you want to, go ahead. Feel free to kick and toss the Servbots. Otherwise, head in the opposite direction to meet up with Tron. She'll try, in vain, to trick MegaMan into believing Roll is bad. (Though I think a good point is brought up. I doubt it costs 9,999,999 Zenny to put a lot of laser energy into the Shining Laser, but only 500,000 Zenny to put an infinite number of missiles into the Homing Missle weapon. =/)

Anyways, boss time!

Once the houses are back, go around the back of the Junk Shop (the house with the gear on its door) to find a trash can, which you can examine for a Bowling Ball. Also consider going into the Junk Shop to replace your Rapid Fire or Range Booster with the Buster Unit or Blaster Unit (4,000 and 3,000 Zenny respectively). Go to the southeastern house and examine the shelves within to find 1,800 Zenny, then go into the northwestern house, where examining the drawers and chest yields a total of 3,200 Zenny, rounding us off at a nice 5,000.

Now, if you want, you can head straight into the Manda Ruins and continue on with the storyline. However, northwest of the Flutter are the Class B Ruins, which you can enter for some minor grinding and the like. If you don't want to deal with them, then just head along to the Key #1: Manda Ruins section.

Key #1: Class B Ruins

This walkthrough will assume you brought along the Drill Arm with you to destroy the broken wall, marked with a brown rectangle on the map above, to create a shortcut. Using the map, I'm quite sure you can still figure out a way to go around and still comprehend this guide should you have not brought it. (Which is just as good an idea because of the Vacuum Arm or Homing Missile.)

Once you enter, go north and defeat the Reaverbot. Go north and through the door and you'll find some Reaverbots nearby. Take out the three of the walking ones nearby, and the nearby ones with the shields if you desire. (The shields can be readily knocked aside by the Homing Missile or the Drill Arm.) Afterwards, you'll have two viable paths to the use.

Let's go along the west path. Go west and north, then through the doors to find yourself with two other ways to go. Defeat the Reaverbot to the east, but don't continue since goes down to the end of the dungeon. Instead, go west to the north/west intersection. Go west and beware the trapped chest; defeat it and examine the hole in the nearby wall to find 6,500 Zenny. Then go north and defeat some more Reaverbots, as well the shielded enemy further north.

To your east and west are some side-rooms. Go into the western one to find a chest with 2,800 Zenny, then go into the eastern one. There are two trapped chests here, plus a chest with 4,000 Zenny. Go back into the main hallway and then north through the doors.

Defeat the nearby two frog-like Reaverbots. Nearby, also, are two westbound paths. The southern of the two leads to a trapped chest, which you can destroy for Zenny. The other westbound path goes to a chest with the Mechanic Notes 2. Go north into the next room.

There, you'll find three more frog-like Reaverbots. Defeat them, as well as the nearby trapped chest. (It is the western one.) The other chest, which is more authentic, will yield 2,500 Zenny when opened.

Now, if you don't have the Drill Arm, there's no point in continuing east. Otherwise, go east, through the doors, and along the path to the big wall. Use the Drill Arm on it and behold the mighty power of the superweapon known as the Drill Arm!! ... Anyways, in this room, you'll find another trapped chest and some worm-like Reaverbots. Kill them all.

Afterwards, go south and out of the room, then along the path to find a north/south intersection. Go north and through the door to find a bunch of Reaverbots. Like I said before, kill them all. Afterwards, leave to the east past where the shield Reaverbots once were to find a treasure chest; open it to find the Bomb Schematic. Go west and south, then through the doors to the north/south intersection from before.

Go south for a bit, past the intersections, to find a hole in the wall. Examine it for 3,000 Zenny, then go north and west into the next room. In there, defeat some more frogs and worms, then leave to the south. Now that we've emptied this floor, go south and west to the room just after the start. Go west, north, through the doors, east, through the doors, then east and north to the elevator, defeating some minor Reaverbots on the way. At the elevator, go down.

Afterwards, go south and through the doors to find yourself facing a boss.

Wow, déjà vu.

Well, I guess you know how to backtrack out. Right?

Key #1: Manda Ruins

After having beaten the Crab-Bot boss from Tron, and possibly after having cleared the Class B Ruins, you can enter the Manda Ruins. Initially, at the very least, I'd recommend coming with the Drill Arm until we actually use it the times to get some great treasure (a Thick Pipe and 25,000 Zenny total).

Also, I would possibly suggest getting the Light Chip (for 30,000 Zenny) from the Junk Shop in Pokte Village. Why? There are, at two points, electrified floors in this dungeon, which will electrify you and greatly reduce your movement. In those parts of the dungeon, that could easily result in death. It is quite possible to make it past there without them, but, if nothing else, go back outside just before you enter that first room. You also could sell the Refractor B from the Class B Ruins for 30,000 Zenny. So you know.

To get to the actual ruins, go to where you fought Tron, then go north to the school, then east to find the ruins.

As you enter the ruins, Roll will ask you to examine the big blue control tower (more like an obelisk, but whatever) - doing so yields nothing other than that you'll need some kind of key to use it. Begin by going west and along the hallway. Take out some of the snake-like Reaverbots as you go.

Soon, you'll reach a depressed portion of the area, where some Reaverbots are rushing along. You can dodge between these groups or jump with ease, so continue along to the other side. Further ahead, you'll find the elevator to reach the next floor.

Nearby are two frog-like Reaverbots. Destroy them and go northeast along the jagged hallway. Further along you'll fight another pair of them, then you'll go south through a door. There, you'll meet up with Bola, one of the newer allies of the reluctant Bonnes.

After the battle, exit the room to the east. In this area, you'll find another frog-like Reaverbot in addition to some Reaverbots that are inactive right now, and also indestructible. Once the live enemy is gone, you'll probably take note of the weak wall to the south. Drill through it with the Drill Arm and go into the next room to find a total of 15,000 Zenny in two chests. You'll also find a Map Control Panel, which you can use to reveal the whole map to you, for the most part. I find StarFighters76's maps to be a lot better. =)

Return into the hallway and go east to the next room. There, you'll find a floor that is normally electrified, but is currently inactive, so you'll be fine. Nearby are some of the spider-like Reaverbots that you'll definitely recall from the first MegaMan Legends. Defeat them. Also beware of the rotating, inactive bar - though it is not in "bug zapper mode", it will still hurt you if it hits you.

Go north to the next area to find a moderately long hallway with three more of those spider-like Reaverbots. Go north and west to the next area.

Well, "next" is a bit of a misnomer. You end up in the area above the starting room. Examine the nearby control panel, then take the suicidal leap down to the floor below.

Here, you can defeat the nearby shield Reaverbots, and you probably should. Also use the control panel next to them to unlock the door next to you. On the opposite side of the room is an Item Control Panel, which will show the locations of the real treasure chests. Use it, then go south because, hey, I see something there!

Hey it's a chest! Open it for a Blue Card Key ... then a boss fight!

Go to the south side of the room where the blue thing was and use the Blue Card Key to activate it. This causes a bridge to come out and connect the areas higher above, start up a lot more Reaverbots, and open up some traps. Oh, what fun!

Leave this room by heading west. Go through this hallway as before, since it is majorly the same, except for one thing. The column close to the end of one of the gaps is electrified and moving, and you don't want to be hit and then hit by speedy Reaverbots beneath you. I hope. Continue along to the next floor.

In the next room, where you fought Bola, you can fight off some more Reaverbots and head go into the small hall. There, you'll find the frog Reaverbot again. Additionally, the wall-attached Reaverbots are now active and readily attacking you with a barrage of red explosive spheres. Return fire on them - it's safer and yields actually a fair amount of Zenny - before going east to the next room.

In this room, you'll find that the floor has been electrocuted. If you have your Hover Shoes, equip them. Otherwise, stay off of the floor. Touching that electrocuted floor (where the spider-like Reaverbots are) will consequentially electrocute you, slow you down greatly, lower your jumping height, and quite easily result in losing a lot, or all, of your health. If you've got the Hover Shoes, feel free to take over the spider Reaverbots below, but, otherwise, defeat the only other Reaverbot, cross the bridge carefully, and continue north into the next area.

Okay, now you're back at the top of the starting room aren't ya? Before even thinking of crossing that narrow bridge, defeat as many of the Reaverbots nearby that you can. You don't need one smacking you and you falling down a floor and having to bracktrack. It is not fun.

Once you defeat them, go west and through the doors. In the hall, you'll find a bunch of the wall-attached Reaverbots, as well as two frog-like ones. Defeat all six like you normally would. On the west side of the hall, you'll find a weak wall. Drill through it with the Drill Arm to find a nice trio of chests. Within is a Thick Pipe in addition to 10,000 Zenny total. After this, backtrack out of the dungeon and get your preferred Special Weapon for the boss fight ahead.

Back outside the final hidden room, go north and east to the next area. Here, you'll find some more hopping Reaverbots to kill. Do so and open the chests for a total of 6,000 Zenny. Continue east into the next hallway. Defeat the Reaverbots here - six flaming frogs and a shield-wielder. Then go along the northbound path to find a chest with 6,000 Zenny. Go south, then east to find the elevator heading to the top floor.

Here, go west for a bit. Ignore the path to the north and continue further west. Defeat the nearby shield-wielding Reaverbot, and go south into the side-hall to find a trapped chest. Defeat it and go north and west into the next area. There, you'll find another electrocuted floor room. Use the Hover Shoes if you have them and do as you will. There are four Reaverbots in this room as well that you can defeat.

In the next room to the west, you'll find two shield-wielding Reaverbots. Defeat them and start opening chests. Two of them are trapped, but the other two contain a Rusted Mine and the Normal Helmet. Equip the Normal Helmet and go south to the final hallway. Go along it and you'll soon meet up with Data. Get healed and save, then go east to find the room with the First Key in it.

Wait, where IS the First Key? Bola quickly appears to say that the boss here got the munchies and ate it. He says it's yours if you get it back; he's gonna get a head start on the other three. Well, boss time.

Return to the Flutter and head to Nino Island.

Key #2: Defending Nino Island!

As you arrive at Ruminoa City, the Flutter gets shot down by some idiot thinking we're the pirates. Luckily, the Flutter doesn't explode and is able to maintain a hovering status while it gets repairs. The Guildmaster (the idiot) and assistant come to apologize, and also mention checking out the Guild.

Inside the main building, you'll find some doors nearby. Nothing is worth your (current) interest, so go into the elevator with the down-pointing arrow. Nearby is a trash can, which can be examined for 3,000 Zenny. Then go by the stores if you want. You may be moderately interested in swapping your Buster/Blaster Unit for an Upgrade or Booster Pack, but I don't particularly care for it. You may also want the Padded Armor Omega and the Light Barrier, but neither are really needed in the next dungeons for now. You will want the Aqua Chip, so use it and make the Hydrojets. These let you skate underwater with the Jet Skates and... Well, you'll find out soon enough. =P

Anyhow, head into the "Digout" building, which is the Digger's Guild. In Normal Mode, you can speak with the lady at the desk to take tests to upgrade your Digger's License to A-Rank, then S-Rank. See the sidequest section named Digger's Licenses for test details. In Easy Mode, you're forced to a Class C (which is good, as it is basically a better Rank SS); on Hard, you have a Class S License, which is as far as the game permits testing for; and on Very Hard, you'll have a Class SS License, the highest of them all. You can take the tests here and upgrade your license. Just note that you cannot go down after going up, so be sure to check out the section named Digger's Licenses' Effects for just what you're getting into. Most people are able to play fairly easily at Rank A, but only series veterans should play at Rank S.

And, finally, you can see an elevator opposite the door you entered. This leads to a completely optional dungeon unrelated, for the most part, to the Digger License examinations. If you want further details, please see the section titled Key #2: The Diggers' Guild Ruins.

Anywho, head into the room next to the desk. Speak with the Guildmaster and his assistant, Johnny. And then, suddenly, the island is attacked! Glyde and his Birdbot gang begin their onslaught!

After that cutscene, you'll end up needing to head back upstairs through the elevator. Speak with Roll and Data for their usual duties, then go through the door marked with a "1" to begin a new mission series. I recommend saving and bringing along the Homing Missile.

Also, if you fail to protect the door, as per your goal, the super-suicidal Guildmaster will blow up the whole tower - "ka-fricking-boom" is the typical saying. You won't survive that. Also, if you want some humor, you can use the Lifter to pick up Birdbots and toss them into each other (speak of killing two birds with one stone, eh?). You can also throw Johnny overboard, but that's gonna make you go very dark after two throws. See the "Bad Boy, Bad Boy, What'cha Gonna Do?" sidequest section for further details on just what you're getting into...

As for recommended equipment, I'd suggest using either the Homing Missile or Buster Cannon for the homing abilities on the first few missions, with the only change being to the Ground Crawler on the third mission.

So, missions...

You'll want to keep this up for several minutes as the main cannon is repaired - Roll will let you know when. Once it is, go to the right of the gate and jump at the lever to pull it down. This is the same door you'll be protecting for the majority of the fight, so stick around in that area when there are foot-soldiers about. There are also crates that can be produced for some protection by pulling the other lever.

Up here, you'll have to do pretty much the same thing as with the first mission. However, the gate is smaller and unprotected by crates. Additionally, Birdbots will come in by planes, which are more resilient and less likely to explode from afar. You'll want to try and focus on one at a time with the planes, attacking them with your Buster until they land, at which point you oughta start blasting Homing Missiles/Buster Cannon shots.

You'll also want to remain wary of the field around you. Staying the center of the platform should manage to keep you able to see all of the planes with a quick rotation of the camera, as well as any foot-soldiers. Remember, foot-soldiers take priority.

Here, you'll want to basically attack from a distance. This fight is actually exceedingly easy with the Homing Missile. Take down any swarms of Birdbots that come at you first, then begin focusing on Glyde's actual ship. Don't worry about Johnny's ship - in fact, shoot down the Flutter if you want to. (It has no known negative consequences.)

If Johnny's ship does go down, it will get a bit harder, as the Birdbot expulsion rate approximately doubles. Get to the gate, or close to it so that you have a clear shot at the ship, then fire, fire, fire, fira, firaga, fire! Once the ship goes down, you'll win this fight. Like it was that much trouble...

Alternatively, you can shoot down the foot-soldiers and then Johnny's ship, then quickly move up to the main enemy ship and abuse the Ground Crawler.

Here, you'll have another "defend the fort" activity. Here, you'll be dealing with both Birdbots and their planes. Their planes will sometimes attack you and sometimes bring in reforcements. These attacks from the planes are often machine gun fire and bombs, and the Birdbots themselves will often dip into their apparently massive supply of explosives as well.

The bombs can be thrown back if you want, though it is not necessary. The only thing really worth worrying about is if they hit you; the door rarely takes damage anyways. Focus first on shooting down Birdbots before the planes, but it is still more of a timed activity.

Anywho, back in the Digger's Guild building, speak with the Guildmaster to learn that we may as well take out Glyde's base; otherwise, they'll come again and again, and we can't escape the Guildmaster's shaky hands every time. Luckily for us, the Flutter is repaired. Go there now and fly southeast to Calbania Island.

First, however, the next section will detail the ruins in the Diggers' Guild that I mentioned a while back in this sub-section. If you want to go onto the Calbania Island sections, go to Key #2: Invasion of Glyde's Fortress! first.

Key #2: The Diggers' Guild Ruins

A few notes before actually entering. The first one is that, to obtain any of the chests here, you'll need to bring along a Drill Arm to break down two walls. Secondly, the enemy formations in here are randomized, so I'll be unable to detail that stuff as well.

Anywho, upon entering, go north into the next room. Empty it of enemies if needed, then go east into another room. Empty it and go further east into a upside-down-"T"-shaped hallway. At the southeastern portion of the inverted-"T", you can find a cracked, brown wall. Drill it away with the Drill Arm to find a chest yielding 12,000 Zenny. Go west and north to the next area, defeating enemies on the way if needed.

Empty this large room of enemies, then go west to the next area. Continue west, defeating enemies as needed as you trek to the next area. Here, you'll find another inverted-"T" hallway. The northbound branch of the inverted "T" has another wall. Drill it down with the Drill Arm to find, behind and beyond it, a chest. Open it for 8,000 Zenny. Then go south and west to the next area - note, though, that, if you are not inclined to battles in this game, you're more than welcome to backtrack to the start, as there are no more chests in this completely optional ruin.

Here, go west, then south down a long hall, then west a bit more to the next room. Empty the squarish room of enemies and leave to the east. That pretty much finishes off this dungeon. Go through the southern end of this room to find the elevator back to the surface.

Key #2: Invasion of Glyde's Fortress!

After landing on the island, go along the dirt path west to find Kito Village. There, you'll meet Dah and Appo (like "the apple", a reference to their need for educational items won from the [[Pokte Village Quizzes]]). These twins' sister, Shu, has been kidnapped by Glyde's gang for unknowable reasons. Say that you'll help them, then investigate a nearby trash can for 2,000 Zenny. Go northwest and out after the kids.

In the open fields, pretty much just follow Appo and Dah; there's nothing much here except some enemies and the Class A Ruins (northwestern second field). You can go there if you want - there's not much that will actually help with fighting Glyde and his comraderie - if you have a Class A License. If you want to go there right now, the walkthrough is at the section named Key #2: Class A Ruins. Otherwise, continue after the twins.

Anyways, outside the fort, don't worry about the twins. Oh, yes, it is not right to let kids get involved in a firefight, but these kids are pretty sturdy. At worst, they get hit enough that you have to carry them to their destination. Anyways, shoot down all of the enemies using your Buster Gun - we kinda want to save some of that Homing Missile ammunition - and go around to the left side of the fort (from your viewpoint).

If one or both twins aren't there, find them and carry them to the side. Then leap on them as they use their strength to leap you over the wall and into the fortress.

In this first area, simply take out the planes. Since you're able to backtrack to Data, just unleash an firestorm of Homing Missiles upon the group. The last enemy to be defeated will fly off, scorched (a.k.a. well-done), and dropping the Door Card Key 1. The little cannons on the walls don't actually count as enemies, so just ignore them. After the fight, get the Door Card Key 1 and go west to the next area (after a healing if needed).

Waaay on up there are a bunch of Birdbots, though only a few are actually available for hitting at a given time. Be wary of the bombs they toss down, but also shoot up at the Birdbots with your Homing Missile weapon. There are quite a few enemies up there, so you may have to switch to your Buster Gun.

Eventually, you'll get rid of all of the Birdbots and a scorched one will fly off, leaving behind the Door Key Card 2. Before leaving, go into the ruins of the lookout tower. On the bottom floor, examine the fridge for a Fried Chicken, and the cabinet for an Accessory Pack. Then leave to the south.

Well, first take out the foot-soldiers by using the Buster Gun, then run around the tops of buildings or in the ruins of older ones (for the protection, albeit slight) and blast out the Homing Missile. Do as you will, but don't get killed. We need MegaMan to finish this game, I think. You will then need to find two crates and bring them to the northwestern tower. Bring them via the Lifter to the grayish rectangle near the tower, and stack them, then use them to jump to the tower balcony.

Go through the door to find Shu. Defeat the nearby Birdbots to free her ... and we then find out that Birdbots have something in common with the Diggers' Guildmaster.

Suicidal tendencies.

Oh crap.

So, what to do? It will take approximately 20 seconds to bring Shu by carrying her to the main guarded door to leave, so we basically have 100 seconds to wreak havoc upon the enemy. Simply blast everything in sight; there will be a Birdbot plane above which I think can be destroyed, but it takes a while. After the majority of the enemies are gone - you should do that because being hit makes you drop whatever you're carry - carry Shu over the door to watch the fortress go boom-boom.

You can also now speak to Shu to hand over the various items from the [[Pokte Village Quizzes]] - the Textbook, Pencil, and Notes - so she can educate her little brothers. This will result in some letters being sent from the twins to the Yosyonke post office at some points, so be sure to go there and read them at some point.

That will pretty much finish it for here. If you want to, the next section will discuss the Class A Ruins, found on the plain north of the village. If you already did them, or just want to ignore it, or something like that, go past there to the Key #2: Return to Ruminoa City section.

Key #2: Class A Ruins

Once you enter these ruins, go south and you'll find six flying, explosive Reaverbots. Deal with them and you'll also take notice of the east/west fork. Ignore the western branch, as it is a dead end, and go east and through the door into the next room.

There, you'll find three different paths to go along. Begin by going north and through the door to find a northbound path with two eastbound paths to the side. Go along the first one you reach to find some more of the floating bomb Reaverbots; the second northbound path has an enemy nearby, but also a hole in the wall yielding 3,000 Zenny. Return west and south to the four-way room, then go south. Go along to the end of the linear path, where you'll meet another purplish Reaverbot, and another 3,000 Zenny in the hole in the wall.

Go east and north back to the crossroads room, then exit through the eastern door. Go along it east and south to the next room, defeating the large Reaverbot on the way. In this room, you'll find two more holes in the wall - one on the west yields 8,000 Zenny, and one on the east yielding 5,000 Zenny - to plunder, as well as a few Reaverbots to short-circuit. Also take the nearby elevator. On the lower floor, you'll find paths to the west, north, and east, each one having one chest yielding 5,000 Zenny, 3,000 Zenny, and a Sniper Unit, respectively.

Return to the upper floor via the elevator, then exit to the northeast. Go along the path to the next room while defeating the Reaverbot on the way. Defeat the previously-seen Reaverbots found here, then exit to the north. In this hall, go north and west. Defeat the large Reaverbot, then go west at the intersection to find a Rusty Bazooka. Go east and, if you keep an eye on the wall to the north (your left), you'll find a hole with 5,000 Zenny, then another with 8,000 Zenny at the end.

Go back to the previous room. You can exit to the east if you want to fight a few more aerial exploder Reaverbots, but it lacks treasure there. Along the southern path, you'll find a few more previously-fought Reaverbots. Past there, you'll find some more boss-like Reaverbots. They actually have nothing special about them, so blast away and you'll be okay. Check the northern and southern walls for holes with Zenny totalling 19,500 Zenny in value.

That's nothing. Oh, yes... Exit this room to the east to find the yellow Refractor A. This massive refractor is worth a whopping 50,000 Zenny. Sweet! Well... We have a map at the start of this sub-section, so guide yourself outta there. Now, onto Ruminoa City...

Key #2: Return to Ruminoa City

As you return to Nino Island, have Roll swap your Special Weapon to the Aqua Blaster. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Possibly. Anywho, speak with the Guildmaster and you'll learn that Glyde and his crew are on their way. Quite literally - look over there! The Guildmaster will get all suicidal again and Roll suggests using the superweapon of the tower. However, it is broken, but Roll runs off to fix it.

Follow her (save as you do) into the tower and go up the elevator. After a brief cutscene, in which the Parabola (yeah, I never comprehended that name either) works only long enough to get on the roof. That starts our next mission. Nope, not a boss fight. Sorry.

Being attacked will not only lower the health bar for the Parabola, and possibly your own. It can also lower the rate at which Roll repairs the Parabola. Typically, she'll manage ~1.00% per second, but one hit lowers it to ~0.1% per second, and another soon thereafter will lower it to ~0.01% per second. A perfect round will last around one hundred seconds, and this shouldn't last more than two minutes.

During the fight, just lock-on to the missiles and shoot them down. Also be wary of fires - if you're not good at stopping the missiles, some will hit and cause fire, causing more damage to the Parabola. Fires can be put out with the Aqua Blaster. That really covers it. Just don't hit the Parabola - it'll take damage and you don't want that, especially in Easy Mode. *shudder*

Anyhow, grab yourself a Drill Arm, assuming you want some extra treasure. Otherwise, go with your dungeon usual, shop, and go into the big hole in the middle of Ruminoa.

Key #2: Nino Island Ruins

^s9|A map of B1F of the Nino Island Ruins.

Hope you bought the Aqua Chip from the Junk Shop like I requested long ago; that way, you could have the Hydrojets, which are underwater Jet Skates, required for a few items in this dungeon. The Drill Arm is also useful for people wanting something like 37,500 extra Zenny and a few useful items.

Anyways, on the first floor, go north, through the doors, and use the elevator hit the next floor.

Are you slowly beginning to comprehend what Roll meant by "complex"? Not to mention the fact that some parts of this dungeon will be underwater. MegaMan will breathe okay, but you need the Hydrojets for any decent movement. The buoyancy also will make you jump higher, as if gravity is reduced. You'll get some eyestrain here, trust me.

Once you begin, go south and defeat the trio of metallic spiders. Go south to a rectangular hallway and defeat a few more, as well as some flying, exploding Reaverbots. Go east and through the door into the next, extremely large room.

Here, get on the purplish ledge below you and face due east. There is an alcove in the wall there which, if you Hydrojet off the edge while facing due east, you'll reach the alcove and find a chest there containing 2,500 Zenny. Hit the ground now.

If you have the Drill Arm, pick up the nearby block to make it easier to reach the southeastern higher alcove (green on the in-FAQ map, south of the red "A"). Climb up to the ledge and go through the door. Go along the path and then drill through the wall. Defeat the three Reaverbots on the other side, then go along the side path north. Past the door, you'll find a blowfish Reaverbot. Defeat it and go north to the next room, in which you'll find a chest with 12,500 Zenny. Backtrack to the large room.

If you don't have the Drill Arm, or did do what the Drill Arm people did, from the ground of the large room, exit to the south. Defeat the explosive Reaverbot here, then go west. If you have a Drill Arm, you can get rid of this weakened wall. Go along the path and defeat the shield-wielding Reaverbot, then go into the side-room to the qest to find the Mechanic Notes 3 in a chest; don't touch the button the ground, though! Back in the hallway, go north, east, and north to find 5,000 Zenny in a chest.

Go back to where you tore down the wall, if you did, then go east past the entrance into the hall, then further east and south. Use the elevator there to return to B1F briefly; interact with the Water Control Panel to flood B2F, then go back there.

Back on B2F, go north and west. At the end of the northern path of the intersection, you should easily see the big wall. Grab some of the stone blocks along this east/west hallway with the Lifter to use a boosts to the top of the wall. On the other side of the wall, defeat the local grouping of explosive and shield-wielding Reaverbots (two of each), then go east into the next room.

There, you'll find another blowfish-style Reaverbot. Defeat it and go southeast, out of this room, to find an elevator leading to B3F. Use it.

Here, you'll want to go north for a bit until you reach the squarish room past the second set of doors; you'll defeat a few metal-spider Reaverbots on the way. Here, you'll find some red fish-like Reaverbots. Defeat them and you'll note that there are three paths to take out of here.

If you have the Drill Arm, drill down the northwestern wall and go along the linear path. Defeat the metal spider on the way and you'll soon reach a squarish hallway. Defeat a few more of the metal spiders, then exit through the doors to the north. Here, defeat more of the red-fish Reaverbots and open the chest to the west to find 20,000 Zenny. You have no further obligations here, treasure-wise (and, as far as health is concerned), so backtrack to the squarish room where you broken down the wall.

If you don't have the Drill Arm, or already did what was detailed in the previous paragraph, use the heavy stone block to press the switch in the north-central part of the room to stop the current. Then go east out of the squarish room. You'll find an elevator leading briefly to B2F. Here, trigger the Item Control Panel and the Water Control Panel. (Triggering the latter is optional. It leads to an easier boss fight ahead by having no water, but also means you'll have to backtrack here after the fight. Do as you will.)

Return to the previous floor, then exit the room and head northward into the next room. There, you'll find four super-large red-fish Reaverbots. They're hard to defeat in the water, in which case you oughta Hydrojet past them. Without water, you can shoot them down with ease. Either way, continue north into the next room. Defeat the metallic spider enemies here, then go east to finally find something that can be labeled a boss! Sometimes.

Go east and south through the hall to find another wall. Defeat the red-fish Reaverbots carefully, then stack up two stone blocks to use to reach the top of the wall. Get on the other side, then exit to the south. In this hall, go to the westbound side hall. If you have the Drill Arm, you can go along this hall west and north while defeating some enemies to reach the Power Blaster at the other side of the hall. Otherwise, use the main hall to go south to the next area.

There, you'll find an elevator taking you down a floor. Use it.

Here, go north and west through the hall, being careful of the four exploding Reaverbots. You'll reach another large room. Climb up to the top of the northwestern platforms, then Hydrojet northeast into the north-central alcove, in which lies a chest containing 4,000 Zenny. Then exit this room to the south through the door. Use the elevator to reach two panels; only use the Map Control Panel. There is no need to drain the water. Return downstairs.

Back on B4F, go north into the large room and climb the northwestern ledges, then go west to the next hallway. Take down the shield-wielding Reaverbot.

If you have the Drill Arm, you can go south and through the doors past the weakened wall to find a squarish room. Defeat the blowfish Reaverbot in there and the shield-wielder, then go south to find another big friggin' wall. You know how to get over - stack two cubes - and you'll find a Range Booster Alpha in the chest. Not too bad, I guess.

If you don't have the Drill Arm, then you can't do that. What a shame. Anyways, after doing that or not, go north and west to the next area. Be careful of the exploding dude next to the door. This is another large area. However, there is but one alcove, waaaaaay over there on the western side of the room, almost as high as you. You'll need to use the Hydrojets from the platform and, because of the auto-jump feature, buoyancy, and momentum, you'll at least grip the opposite purplish ledge. Of course, be careful of those exploding enemies! On the other ledge, in the alcove just to the west, you'll find a chest containing the Sower.

After getting it, drop for a bit to the ground level, then go south and through a hall to the next room. This one is kinda cool.

There is not one enemy in this room that will harm you. In fact, there is only one Reaverbot, and this is one of those more benign kinds. Don't shoot it or you'll pretty much screw yourself. Ride it and use it to reach the various pillar tops with chests. The northeastern pillar has a whopping 20,000 Zenny inside, and the west-central one has the Water Key 2. You'll need at least this latter chest.

After grabbing them, go south to the next area where you'll find an elevator. Ride it.

Here, you'll find Data. THANK GOD!!! Save and heal now - you really don't want to have do that one hour-plus trek again, do you? - and go north and through another hall. At the end, you should be able to proceed, so long as you have the two Water Keys. One you'll automatically have because of the boss fight earlier, and the second is in the sandy room on B4F you just came from.

In this room, you'll meet up with the partner of Bola, Klaymoor. And just as we were about to take the Second Key for ourselves. Oh, well, this is a video game. Can't expect to get everything.

Wait, isn't that real life? *mind is blown*

There, go north through the two rooms, then go east and climb the ledges. At the top, go east to that large room, then south and through the doors. Use the elevator to reach an area where you can turn the water back on. Return to B4F and exit the large room to the southeast. Go along the hall to the elevator. Use it to hit B3F.

Go north and use the usual stuff to get over the wall. Go north out of there, then north and west through the hall to the boss fight room. Leave to the west to a squarish room. Exit that room, the next room, the one after that, and the hallway after that, all to the south, to reach the elevator leading to B2F.

Here, go north to the squarish room, then west, then along the hall and south to the big wall. Get over it, then go south, west, and far north, past a bunch of enemies, to the large room. Climb the northwestern ledges and go west to the next room. Exit this squarish room, and the next room, to the north to find the elevator.

You'll reach B1F. As you approach the ladder, you'll have to fight Klaymoor one more time.

And win one more time.

Back on the Flutter, return to the Sulphur Bottom and go into Bluecher's office. Hand over the Second Key and you'll learn that the next one is on Saul Kada Island, whose main village is already taken by the Bonnes. Yep, more liberation stuff.

Fly! To the southeast! To the big, brown, deserty island that is oddly so close to an icy area!

Key #3: Liberating Saul Kada Island!

Welcome to Saul Kada Island! Hot, ain't it?

Anyways, we find ourselves a little off from Kimotoma City. Apparently, she doesn't want to be attacked by the Bonnes, which is odd, given that she didn't complain all too much during the aerial boss fights over Kattlelox in the first Legends. =/

Once you regain control, go on into the next area, then go along the northern wall to the city itself. Feel free to defeat any of the Bonnes' bots you find. Also, in the southwestern corner of this desert, you'll find the Class S License ruins. If you were the lucky person who managed to hit Class S (or played on something other than Normal), you can go there. To keep this section of a decent length - plus, there isn't much useful for the at-hand stuff right now other than Zenny - you'll have to go to the section titled Key #3: Class S Ruins to find a walkthrough. We'll be covering this right after clearing out the Bonnes, by the way.

So, anyways, somewhere to the north is the city. Go on, the people within don't have all day.

There, you'll find more than a few Servbot machines. You can pretty much defeat all with relative ease. It's the big one at the back that might pose a problem. If it does, go into the house to the left via either entrance and go along it. Examine some of the pots (right of door, pair on left wall, northeast corner) for a total of 5,800 Zenny. Then go outside via the other entrance, then through the kitchen, and you should be right next to the big gun thing.

Destroy it with ease, then grab up the Blue Bonne Key. See that skull marking encircled by blue stuff on the door nearby? Now you can go inside and speak with the people. Notably, speak with the man in the red shirt to be able to make your work through the other door a lot easier. Anyways, backtrack west to the branching area and go through the westernmost door. Veer off to use Data if you need to.

Here, you'll find Servbots throwing bombs. Give them cold shoulder and continue on to the next area.

There, you'll find a bunch of Bonne bots and a few electric fences. Clear out the local variety of enemies first. If you want to, and have good timing, you can jump at and climb over the electric fences to the end. You're also liable to get killed doing that so, instead, circle around to the east side of the warehouse. If you freed the truck driver and spoke with him, you'll now get him to ram down the electric fences. Clear out the rest of the enemies and continue west into the next area.

This is the shopping plaza for now. You can find the usual Junk and General Stores here. You'll want to buy the Link Armor and the Padded Helmet (40,000 and 10,000 Zenny, respectively) as far as defense goes. You'll definitely want to buy the Power Raiser Alpha. You can also buy the Superball (500 Zenny, for the Reflector Arm) at the Junk Shop. And, finally, if you're into the whole "making Roll love you" thing, there are a few more things at the General Store.

There are few Servbots nearby you can mess with... *kick* *kick* *kick* Other than kicking, and perhaps some throwing, you should probably try to find the key that they, as usual, have a tendency to lose. This Red Bonne Key is in the stand in the northwestern corner. Afterwards, exit to the east and go along to Data. Heal and save, then go through the door.

Here, you'll find Teisel going on about the raid. He is currently telling his Servbots to take everything, but... "We may be pirates, but we're not barbarians. We'll let them keep the toilet paper."

Eh, after that, Teisel finds out and decides to use your "love" of all things "cultural" to protect himself. Boss time!

Afterwards, you are able to deal with the "Bad Boy, Bad Boy, What'cha Gonna Do?" sidequests. See the linked-to section for further details. Anyways, if you want to go into the Class S Ruins right now, the walkthrough for there is just below. If you want to deal with the Saul Kada ruins, go further down to the section entitled Key #3: Saul Kada Ruins. The entrance to the ruins is the elevator in the area where you fought Teisel.

Key #3: Class S Ruins

Begin this dungeon by noting that it is underwater. Also note that you need the Class C, S, or SS Licenses to get in here. You'll want to bring along some Hydrojets to actually finish in a decent amount of time. There's no need to bring along the Drill Arm like with some other ruins, by the way, despite what you'd expect out of the Class S Ruins. =/

Upon entering, go north in to the larger room. Defeat the nearby metallic spiders, then open the trapped chest and defeat it. Leave this room to the west and defeat the red-fish Reaverbots in the next room. Go to the westernmost portion of the room to find a hole in the wall, inside which is 25,000 Zenny. Sweet!

Go back east to the trapped-chest room. Exit to the northeast and along the hall, defeating a shield-wielder and some metal spider Reaverbots on the way. In the next hallway, you'll zigzag northwest for a bit, with one metallic spider Reaverbot and two shield-wielding ones along the way. As it turns dead north, go along this path. At the intersection, continue north and defeat the trapped chests. Go into the room to the west, where you'll find a couple more enemies and a chest with 18,000 Zenny. Back in the hall, go north and east to find a hole in the wall containing a Sensor.

Go west and south to the intersection with the eastbound path. Go along it and into the next room. There, you'll find another trapped chest and an enemy. Defeat them and go east to the hallway and a north/south fork. Go south and east into the next room, where you'll find a chest containing the Mechanic Notes 6.

Return to the hall and go northward and through the doors. Here, go east and into the next room. Defeat the enemies there and crack open the chest to find 15,000 Zenny. Return to the hall and go west to a squarish room. There, defeat the blowfish Reaverbot and go north and through the door to find a very familiar boss...

"Sweet!" is an understatement. Anyways, there's a map above here. Use it to get out of here before the pressure does something irreparable to MegaMan.

Key #3: Saul Kada Ruins

Throughout this dungeon, you'll find the main theme to be "fire". I would recommend buying the Resistor Chip from the Junk Shop (200,000 Zenny) and using it to make the Asbestos Shoes, and buying the Flame Barrier from the Junk Shop (150,000 Zenny) as well. The former will stop you from being on fire after stepping out of the lava, and the latter reduces fire damage. In short, they will help greatly here.

As you enter the ruins, you can go north for a bit. When you see the doorway to the east, that's about as far you should go. Further north, there is another doorway, but it is locked, so just go east. In this hallway, go east, north, and east. As you do, you'll find some humanoid Reaverbots. Defeat them and head to the elevator. Just west of there, on the southern wall, is another door.

Go through it and south, east, and south to the next room. There, activate both of the panels; one will activate the elevator we very recently caught sight of, and the other shows all actual items on the map. Backtrack to the elevator by going north to the previous room. Defeat the six humanoid Reaverbots in there - and be careful about it - and continue north, along the hall, into the main hall. Go east and ride the elevator. Wheee~!

Not a whole lot to mention. This is a linear hallway with a few enemies - two shield-wielders and a few floating explosives - along it. Other than that stuff, partway along, on the left, you'll probably notice that big ol' dinosaur-like bot. Ignore it. It will hurt you if it hits you, but fighting it is futile, as far as I know. (And I'm talking about ten minutes with the Accessory Pack Omega, which maxes all Buster Gun stats.) At the end of the hall, you shall find the elevator.

Here is where you'll be spending a lot of your time for a while. Oh, how fun.

When you arrive, go east and you'll find Data. Heal and save and go east into the next room. Also, if you don't have the Asbestos Shoes on right now, equip them right now.

In this next room, you'll find the boss of the ruins. Already? And not inside a blue box? What black magic is this!?

In reality (to a point), the boss cannot be beaten right now. Blast its head all you want, be it with an Aqua Blaster or maxed Shining Laser, you will not beat it. As far as you'll get is the boss bending over to drink the lava up and heal itself. So we'll just have to dance around it for now. Leave this room via the southeastern exit. Don't step on the lava - the Asbestos Shoes and Flame Barrier may help to a point, but lava is lava.

In this hallway, simply go east for now. The door on the southern wall between the two unlit torches is currently locked; we'll be unlocking it later on, so have no worries. Continue into the next area to the east.

In this room, you'll find more lava, and some platforms. First, you'll want to carefully dance your way to the northern door. Go on through to find two flaming jets of ... well, fire. Behind them, in the north-central part of the adjoining room (you can see it as a big, orange target), shoot that panel to stop the flames. Open the chests back there for an Autofire Unit Omega and the Mechanic Notes 5.

Backtrack to the previous room and dance around to the eastern door. Go through it and then along the linear hall to the next area. Here, you'll find some dragon-like Reaverbots that will spit lava and electric balls at you. Ignore them - they yield nothing for beating - and go south to the next room. There, activate both the panels. One will show off the whole magnificent map to you; the other will unlock the "A" Lock.

Backtrack into the previous room and, as you go along, you'll be harrassed by some metamorphosizing Reaverbots - they appear initially as larvae, but, once shot, turn into butterfly-like enemies. Shoot them down and continue north to the hall, then through there to the platform-and-lava room. There, you'll find four more of the metamorphosizing Reaverbots, as well as a dragon-like Reaverbot or two. Shoot down the former enemies, and dance around to the western side of the room. If you find it hard, just remember that Jet Skating off a ledge will grant you a long jump, which is quite readily the best method for easy crossings, so long as you don't hit lava.

Continue along to the boss's room. Exit to the northwest if you want to heal up and save with Data, then go north from the boss area to find your next room. This area's size and lava content can be a bit daunting, I'll admit. Just make your way quickly north and northeast to the big area, then leave to the west and jump along the platforms to the west. Jump south to the platform near the wall and go through the door. Unlock the "B" Locks there, then backtrack your way to the boss room.

There, heal and save with Data again if you want, then exit the boss room to the southwest. Go along the small hall westward to find another lava/platform room. This one is a bit easier to cross. Defeat some of the flying Reaverbots, and then jump along the southern two platforms to the doorway - use Jet Skate leaps if you're having trouble. Go west and into another hall.

Here, go into the southern room. Open up the chests on your left and right to find 15,000 Zenny and the Mechanic Notes 4. The center chest is unique. While it is a trapped chest, when opened, it will spit out a small denomination of Zenny and/or energy cubes. If you open and back away quickly, you can open it up again for more Zenny. Do this as you want to - but you'd have to be pretty desperate - and return into the hall. Go west and north into another room.

Defeat the enemies here and continue northward into the next room. There, you'll find a panel which can be activated to unlock the "C" Locks. You probably remember that locked, southeastern door? Let's go there now. Backtrack to the boss's room - there's nothing exceptionally new - and, for sure this time, heal and save with Data. Exit the boss room to the southeast, then go through the south-central door in this hallway.

Inside, you'll find Bon and Tron. They're focusing on a big rock in the air; they obviously need to knock it down for some reason. Turns out that this will stop the lava flowing to the boss's room and let you beat it. However, that is one sturdy rock - not even the godly Bon can take it down! (And we beat him in MegaMan Legends. Heh.)

Anyways, we have to help them out. This mission can be summed up pretty easily. You can just shoot at the rock for about fifteen minutes (that is with the Accessory Pack Omega) - it will work, just very, very, very little. And, even then, you're gonna have to do some of the intended work. You'll need to swap to the Lifter and shoot at one of the Reaverbots nearby to knock it down. Then use the Lifter to toss it at the big rock. Repeat as needed. Be careful to not shoot at Bon or Tron, for they'll eventually begin to retaliate temporarily, and also beware the red stuff... What is it called, again...? Oh, yeah, lava. Don't step in the lava.

After the rock is felled and it plugs up the lava flow, the big Reaverbot from before will now be vulnerable, as the majority of the lava flows have been stemmed off. So, backtrack to the boss's room and let's have a fight.

Go along the linear path as before and defeat the enemies on the way to the elevator again. Not much new here except the wolf-like Reaverbots that will quickly tackle you, so just keep your eyes forward.

Once you've returned to B1F, go west and along the hallway. You'll defeat another four humanoid Reaverbots and find some of the stealth Reaverbots. These bots are usually found in specific parts of the floor, and you'll have to randomly press buttons to get out of their hold or you'll die.

Back in the entrance hall, go north and defeat some of the wolf-like Reaverbots. Further north, use the First Floor Key to go through the now-unlocked door. You'll find yourself in a lava-filled area. Of note here are the two missile cannons on the east and west sides, which you may want to take out first before you get knocked into the lava. You'll also find a flying Reaverbot that can drop other Reaverbots or Zenny. Take them all down.

Afterwards, work your way to the northeastern portion of your "safe" path. Jump to the ledges, then to the northeastern doorway. Go through there to find three chests; open them for a total of 54,000 Zenny and a Soft Ball. Return to the main room and go along the linear non-lava path to the northwest corner and through the door.

There, you'll see the Third Key! Then you'll see Bon steal it. Crap. Take the door to the west and along the linear path, defeating a few metamorphosizing Reaverbots on the way. In the next room, you'll end up having to fight Tron again!

Key #4: Defending Yosyonke Island!

Once you make landfall, go north to the main town, then look to the right. Go that way to find Roll entranced by the train. (Looks a lot like the Spotter Car from MegaMan Legends 1...) Apparently, Joe built it and got hospitalized due to exhaustion. Go to the hospital and speak with man in the lobby to opt to head to Room 102. Speak with Joe inside to get the Train Key.

Return to the Flutter and save with Data. Also get a long-range Special Weapon and buy the Blaster Unit Omega, Buster Unit Omega, and Power Blaster Omega. Equip them all to get maxed Attack, + 3 Energy, + 3 Range, and + 2 Rapid. That's pretty good, right there, especially for only 45,000 Zenny. You should also get the Link Armor Omega (60,000 Zenny).

Then return to Roll at the train. Speak with her and say "Let's go!" when you're ready for the next two bosses.

Key #4: Yosyonke Ruins

^l19|A map of B1F of the Yosyonke ruins.

Here, you'll find a few tank Reaverbots on the floor, as well as a few thieving ones that just exist to steal stuff enemies drop. Get on the ledge near the entrance after the plundering is done and go south across the ledges - again, much easier with the Cleated Shoes - and west through the first door you reach. Open the chest here to find a Laser Manual. This will also activate the blue Reaverbots nearby. They can cause you to be freezer burned (basically being set aflame, but unblockable and causes electrocution as well, with the flame being unblockable).

Return outside and hit the ground. Go east and onto the low ledge, then through the door. Activate the Item Control Panel to show you all of the items. Return outside and jump onto the northwestern ledge, then circle along them counterclockwise to the high northeastern room. Just take note of its location, because you'll need the Red and Blue Barrier Keys to remove the barriers, and their controlling panels are found here.

Return once more to the large room and hit the ground. Exit to the south to find yourself in a hallway. There, look to the right and defeat the blue Reaverbot, then go along the path eastward. Defeat the blue Reaverbots and the shield-wielding Reaverbots you soon reach. After beating the latter, check out the hallway to the south. Go along it and east to find a chest containing 30,000 Zenny. Go back to where the shield-wielding Reaverbots were and break the ice in the ceiling. Go south and avoid the spinning blades as before. On the other side, go through the door to find the Blue Barrier Key.

Now, backtrack to the previous room (break the ice and jump through the roof). You'll find the blades to be gone. That's nice. Go down the other side of the path and you'll find a tank Reaverbot roaming the halls. That's not nice. Destroy him and continue north to the previous room. There, ascend the northwestern ledges, then circle around to the northeast corner and enter the room. Activate the Blue Barrier Control Panel and you'll remove those blue pyramidal barriers throughout the dungeon.

Now back-backtrack to where you found the Blue Barrier Key. (Leave this room and the next room to the south. Go east, south, and west to the icy roof. Break through, go up, and south to the next area.) There, shot at the ice and break it. Kill the shield Reaverbots below and go south to the next room, then go down the elevator to B2F.

As you enter this area, go north and through the door. Go along this hall and deal with the Reaverbots as you will. In the next area to the north, you'll probably want to just stand on the orange weak panels to fall through. Yes, you'll deal with three blue Reaverbots, but they give lots of money. Go up the ledge on the east side to the upper level. Approach and defeat the trapped chest, then go west, north, east, north, and west to beat some more Reaverbots. Go north to the next area.

There, break the ice on the roof and jump on through it. Continue along into the next, rather large room.

Defeat the green Reaverbots on the floor - quite familiar to those who did the Class A Ruins and played MegaMan Legends 1 - and go through the eastern door on the ground level to find the Map Control Panel. Use it to reveal all of the map, then return to the large room and go through the door on the northern wall.

In this hallway, go along it. Shatter the ice barreris as you reach them and you'll make battle with a few blue Reaverbots, then a purple generator Reaverbot further along. Go through the door at the end of the hall and open up the chest to get 10,000 Zenny. Defeat the blue Reaverbots in the room that you just awakened. After doing so and collecting the Zenny (a thieving Reaverbot is above you), shatter the ice and go on up a floor. Leave this room to the south.

Here, you'll go another hall with a few of the tall Reaverbots. Defeat them and move on. In the open area at the end, defeat the purple generator Reaverbot, then use the door it was guarding. There, you'll find a chest yielding the Red Barrier Key.

^s21|A map of the small B3F floor in the Yosyonke ruins. Afterwards, go through the floor to B2F, then again to B3F. Open the chest here to find the Shield Generator, then break the ice and go down another floor.

Here, you'll land on a raised piece of ice or something. Here, you'll be safe from the three invincible tank Reaverbots around the room. (By the way, to return to B3F, exit to the west and use the elevator.) So, how do we progress?

Well, there are three holes in this room. In each one, you need to get a Reaverbot. To do so, you'll need to attract their attention, first. To actually get them in the hole, you'll want them to charge, but they aren't stupid enough to do so if the hole is between you and them. So, instead, get the hole just behind you and, as the Reaverbot charges and is about to hit you, do a roll (X and L1/R1). Of course, you can also just get hit, but you'll end up being set aflame by blue fire, which isn't good.

After putting Reaverbots in each of the three holes, thereby unlocking the three doors, go through the northern door and you'll find a chest. Open it for 50,000 Zenny! *spit-take*

Go back into the room to the south and leave it to the south. Defeat the Reaverbots in this room, then go south again. Open this chest for the Turbo Charger Omega, which maxes your Energy stat. Eh... It's not too bad to sell, at least; Energy is the least important Buster stat. Return to the large room with the four doors, then exit to the east and use the elevator. Use Data beforehand if you need to. (You probably should - a boss is ahead.)

This initial area is actually extremely large, but rather monotone in its theme. You'll have a crapload of snow and one iced-over puddle of water. At random points, often-large groupings of the blue Reaverbots will appear, making this place heaven for Zenny grinding (sometimes easily 1,000,000 per hour in Normal Mode!). Also, at the ice-lake, you'll probably want to take out the missile shooter.

Now, enough pointless descriptions. Why are we here? There are three key-like Reaverbots you need to pick up. First take out the missile shooter, okay? Then we can focus. You'll want to lock-on to one of the key enemies whenever you can get them, then keep firing that Buster without end. If you get caught in a blue Reaverbot ambush, leap and continue. Continue until the key falls over close to you and then pick it up.

Once you pick up all three keys again, you may want to return upstairs via the northwestern elevator to save and heal again with Data. On the entrance floor of B5F, leave to the south and you'll find a big blob moving around in the room. Bypass it carefully - it won't attack intentionally other than moving around, and can't be killed here - and head further south where you'll find the Fourth Key.

Go back north to find that you made the big blob mad.

The Endgame: Reaching Elysium

So, after you've obtained the Fourth Key, and finished building up the Homing Missile to a sustainable level (if you've used it all along as I recommended, you'll be okay), have Roll fly the Flutter to the Sulphur Bottom.

There, go speak with Bluecher. When you reach him, you'll be congratulated on getting the final Key to the Mother Lode. Now, we can unlock a source of infinite energy to help this otherwise dying, flooded world... The Ancients then note that the Keys are in the ship and Geetz attacks the ship!

The Bonnes realize what's going on - from their ship coming from Yosyonke - and they eventually opt to save them at Tron's behest. The Matilda look-alike comes to MegaMan and Sera and there is some more talking. After we understand just what this planet, this civilization is about, we can continue. We'll see Gatts futilely fighting Geetz, and we'll have to finish the job ourselves.

We're talking on a planetary level. All life on Terra will be obliterated in one fell swoop.

Back at the Flutter, you may actually want to do some of the Sidequests first, since they're all unlocked by now, so long as you meet some quest-specific conditions. You'll also want to do more shopping at the Junk Shops. First off, the Kevlar Armor is available right now for 80,000 Zenny. After reaching the boss repetition area in Elysium, the Kevlar Armor Omega will be available for 100,000 Zenny, and it is basically the Kevlar Armor plus a knockdown guard. It's your decision on which to buy and when.

Other preparations include buying a Hyper Cartridge if your weapon lacks infinite ammo, getting a bunch of the Consumables items, and definitely having 20+ units of the Energy Canteen for newbies. Your best Buster combination would be the Power Raiser Omega, Range Booster Omega, and Rapid Fire Omega. It costs 1,900,000 Zenny for all of them, though, so you may want to grind or just stick with the combo you already own. And, finally, owning all of the shoes (except perhaps the Cleated Shoes) will be helpful in this dungeon...

So, once you're ready, fly to Calbania Island. There, you'll meet with Yuna and Gatts near the Birdbot Fortress. Speak with Yuna and go to Elysium.

The Endgame: Elysium

First and foremost, you are completely able to return to Terra; just talk to Yuna and she'll do it for you. To the north, you should be able to find Data; use him for saving and healing. In the southwestern corner of the room, if you open the chest there, you'll find the Green Eye. If you got the Laser Manual from the Yosyonke ruins, you can make Shining Laser.

Now, if only we had 19,000,000 Zenny, this would be a piece of cake. >_>

Anyways, leave via the elevator to the north.

Cross the hallway and, as you turn, you'll run through some pinkish bars. This will automatically increase the gravity influencing you to its highest usable level by beaming gravitons into you or something like that. Increased gravity leads to short jumps, and lower gravity leads to higher jumps as if you were underwater. Return to the previous room which had the weak floor now. Stand on the center tiles and the ground will break. Open the chests here for 40,000 Zenny and the Energizer Pack Omega. Then use the gravity panel nearby to lower the gravity and jump out.

Return south into the hallway and go along it to defeat some enemies, increase your gravity, and go through the door to the next room. Here, you'll find some electric panels, so equip your Hover Shoes. Defeat the metallic spider trio in this room and go east into the next one. Use the gravity panel to reduce the gravity - but only if you want to, as you'll go through a gravity gate soon enough. Then return to the previous room and exit to the west.

Here, you'll find, in lieu of electric panels, Buster Leak panels, which stop your Buster from firing and drains your Special Weapon energy -- and you can't stop it in any way! Empty it of enemies and exit to the south.

Go along the hallway and you'll reach a room soon after the gravity gate. Defeat the four-fisted Reaverbot ahead and continue east into a squarish room. The northern portion has a few enemies and a gravity gate. First, leave to the east and defeat the enemies in the next room, then go further east and use the Item Control Panel and gravity panel (reduce gravity). Return to the previous room and defeat the enemies again, then return west into the squarish hallway.

There, exit to the south. Go along the hallway to the next room and, there, jump over the white barriers to reach the treasure chest containing the Booster Pack Omega. Continue out of this room to the west to find another hallway. Go west to the next room and you'll find the gravity panel. Raise the gravity and backtrack to the squarish room.

Back in the squarish room, exit to the north and you'll find a four-fisted Reaverbot on a door. Defeat it and go further north to the next enemy. Slay 'im and go north to find the elevator to the next area.

Upon arriving, go south and out of the hallway. Put on your Asbestos Shoes because there is lava, in here, in space. Weirdness aside, defeat the metamorphosizing Reaverbots nearby and continue south to the next room. (You can now put back on the Jet Skates or whatever you were wearing.)

Oh, God, yes, square room! =/ Anyways, defeat the Reaverbots in the northwest/southeast corners unless you want them to infinitely, to some extent, generate Reaverbots for you to kill for money. Afterwards, exit to the west and this room will have two exits - north and west. Go west for now and empty that next room of its four generator Reaverbots and the generated fiery Reaverbots. In the next room to the west, you'll find two chests. Open the northern one to find the Sniper Unit Omega, but beware the southern one - IT'S A TRAP!

Return afterwards to the room with the two exits and, this time, use the northern exit. As you go along the hallway, keep an eye on the left side. There will be a door there. If you go through, you can fight some Reaverbots, but that's all that's in there, so do as you will. Back in the hallway, continue further north to a gravity-increasing gate and a squarish room. There, defeat the generator Reaverbots and continue west into the next room.

There, because of the increased gravity, stand on the center tiles to break them and reveal a chest (36,000 Zenny) and a gravity panel. Use the panel to decrease the gravity and get out of that pit. Back outside, go north and through the hallway to the next room.

Defeat the two arachnid Reaverbots in there and leave to the east. There, jump over the white barrier to reach the 10,000 Zenny chest. (Seems like a weird place to keep a bunch of money, but whatever.) Go further east and into the next room. There, you'll find the Map Control Panel. Use it. As for the gravity panel next to it, do what you will - you'll pass through a gravity gate before anything decent can happen. Personally, I'd just keep the gravity low.

Backtrack to the room with the weakened floor (two areas west and south) and leave to the west. In this squarish room, continue along and through a gravity gate into a hallway. Keep an eye on the left wall. Go through the door you reach, then exit the large room to the east to find the useful Giant Refractor. And, sorry, you can't sell it; it's a Key Item. Go back west to the hallway and go south. Defeat some four-fisted Reaverbots and go through their doors to find the elevator. Ride it to the Side/Residential Area.

The Residential/Side Area actually features few battles, because, well, people tend to not live in places with loads of violence. Anyways, this area features rainbow doors as your path of teleportation from one area to the next, the paths being marked by black lines on the in-FAQ map. (Also, you start at the small "3" on the map, in the lower-left corner.) Battles are few, far-between, and easy. So I'll just direct you as needed.

(Also, as a trivial side note. The only known way to use teleportation is to use quantumally-entangled atoms. To skip the scientific bits, you'll be on the other side. But you'll be dead. Interesting, eh?)

Go east and south an area to find a chest on the southern side of the area. There, you'll find a chest with the Accessory Pack Alpha. Neat-o. Go north, west, north, north, east, east, south, and east to find our next chest on the opposite side of the island. Open it to find 60,000 Zenny. Then go west two islands.

There, you'll find the Master's house, and the entrance to the Mother Zone. First, however, go to the north side of the area where an elevator should be. Fix it with the Giant Refractor and this elevator will become a quick shortcut back into the Shuttle Bay if you need to return to Terra or something.

Otherwise, enter the big building. To your left, you'll find Data. Save and heal, then go to the elevator at the opposite side of the room. Go on down...

I'm pretty sure at least one person reading this has played one game of the Classic or X series of the platformer MegaMan games. Those people know that it is a time-honored tradition in those games, as well as several others not related to MegaMan at all, to repeat all of the fought bosses in order again. MegaMan Legends 1 skipped this, to my utter disappointment. (Then again, it really only had four bosses that were Reaverbots, and that was a stretch.) MegaMan Legends 2 restarts this tradition, but with the four storyline Reaverbot bosses.

So, it's all pretty linear. I'll just hand over the boss strategies and leave it to you. Between the bosses, you are welcome to backtrack to Data, or even Terra. There are no enemies other than the four bosses down here, and they remain dead if you leave.

Oh, by the by, you won't fight them in the exact order you fought them.

Continue east into the linear hall where you'll find the elevator leading to B7F.

Here, go east into the next room, east to a hall, east a large empty room, then east to the boss. Starting to wonder what the point of all of those doors is...

After that fourth and final repeat boss, don't worry about returning to Data for the usual; he's actually not too far ahead of us. Go east and along the linear hall to the elevator leading to the final floor.

Here, go east and to the empty room, then east and south, through a small hall, to find a somewhat circular room. Inside, you'll see the nearby Four Keys to the Mother Lode. Near the southern wall, you'll find Data. There, heal and save.

Now, if you want, you are perfectly welcome to return to Terra and do other sidequests. You'll probably want to recharge your Energy Canteen, grab a Hyper Cartridge if you're using a limited-ammo weapon, and possibly even grab some of those health-healing items from the sidequests. Go ahead and grind up the 1,900,000 Zenny for the Buster Omegas. Max your Special Weapon. Do whatever you feel to be necessary.

Once you're ready, go through the door. Yuna will warn you that she and Gatts cannot help you if you beyond that door and into the library. This is your final chance. If you go through that door, you'll be launched headfirst into a sequence of two difficult bosses. Be sure you're ready. Once you are, go through the door. After a scene, you'll fight Sera.

Sidequests

Extra Dungeons

Throughout the course of the game, you will come across a number of extra dungeons. Some of them are more blatantly obvious than others. I actually covered them all in the main walkthrough, so you will find a blue hyperlink in this section underneath the dungeon description. This implies that you will need to click on it to hit the appropriate section in the walkthrough.

• Class B Ruins:
  • Location: On Manda Island, when you land, go forward to the wider field. To the right is the entrance to Pokte Village; opposite it is the Class B Ruins.
  • Requirements: None.
  • Hyperlink: Key #1: Class B Ruins

• Diggers' Guild Ruins:
  • Location: On Nino Island, inside the Diggers' Guild building's entrance area, you should an elevator nearby. Go on down.
  • Requirements: None, although you need the Drill Arm if you want the only treasures, totalling 20,000 Zenny.
  • Hyperlink: Key #2: The Diggers' Guild Ruins

• Class A Ruins:
  • Location: On Calbania Island, in the second field as you leave the village heading towards Glyde's fortress, head to the entrance to said fortress. While facing it, turn left and go forward. You should a building, which should mark the ruins.
  • Requirements: Class C/A/S/SS License.
  • Hyperlink: Key #2: Class A Ruins

• Class S Ruins:
  • Location: On Saul Kada Island, in the big desert area with the sinkholes, in the southwest corner of the area.
  • Requirements: Class C/S/SS License and, by technicality, the Rebreather. The Aquajets are also strongly recommended - it's an underwater dungeon!
  • Hyperlink: Key #3: Class S Ruins

Digger's Licenses

Starting around the time you reach Nino Island, you can really get a chance to know your Digger's License. Only on Normal Mode are you able to take the tests. Therefore, there are two tests; one to reach Rank A, and one to reach Rank S. Each time you test, you'll be forced into a dungeon with a certain level of health and equipment, and you fail if you take too long or die. You must complete the ruins in a certain amount of time, and you must defeat every enemy in every room to proceed.

If you succeed, you'll be given a new license and whatnot. However, each class will have certain effects, so see the section entitled Digger's Licenses' Effects before going, because you can't go down a license rank after going up!

So, there are two tests. We'll cover them in order: Class A, then Class S.

You'll have three minutes.

Go through the door in front of you and defeat the Reaverbots nearby. Go ahead and move forward, then defeat the worm-like Reaverbot that falls nearby. Defeat one of the metallic spider Reaverbots, then go forward and left. Be sure to pick up one of the Reaverbots you didn't defeat on the way, then throw it at the shield-wielding Reaverbot.

Quickly defeat them both and move on. Defeat the snakes there - you'll want to jump to the side so you won't get hit by their attacks, thereby disabling your Buster for a whilee. Then continue on into the next room.

For our third room, shoot the shield-wielding Reaverbot - wait for it to lower its shield, of course, before shooting. Continue this until defeated and repeat with the next one. Go into the next room where you'll find some more annoying Reaverbots. Defeat them and the suicidal robots quickly.

In the next room, defeat some more snakes - again, jump to the side first. You'll also have to defeat that purple Reaverbot spewwing out more explosive buddies. Focus first on the generator, then its spawn, and continue on.

Here, you'll find one of those green mobile ones. Dodge-and-shoot your way around it like you would in the other MegaMan Legends games, then you've won!

You have five minutes. And it will not be fun.

Go through the door and pick up one of the metallic spiders nearby. Throw it at the other one and then destroy them both. Go forward and defeat the rather touchy floating Reaverbots. Further ahead, you'll find two shield-wielding Reaverbots. Carefully pick one up and toss it at the other and destroy them. Then continue on, past more exploders, to the next room.

Like the next-to-last room of the Class A test, you'll want to jump aside and destroy the snakes, then destroy the purple generator bot and its buddies. Careful about its spawn, too - they're rather explosive. Continue on when done.

Here, you'll find another shield-wielding Reaverbot. Again, carefully pick it up and toss it at the metallic spider Reaverbots further ahead, but aim carefully but quickly. This should destroy both the shield-wielder and one of the metallic spiders, or, if you're super lucky, both. Defeat the other Reaverbot if needed and continue along. You'll find two metamorphosizing Reaverbots. Shoot them down and continue on; nothing special about them.

This next room is where you'll spend a LOT of time. You'll find three purple generator Reaverbots in here. You'll just have to blast like mad. There is a slight glitch in this game where, if you tap Up on the D-Pad rapidly while shooting, it will make you fire more quickly in this case with your Rapid being low, so try it.

In this next room, take down the flying suicide drones and continue. To the left are three more, then continue on for ever more of them. Afterwards, two more Reaverbots will be guarding the exit. Pick up one and toss it at the other, hope you destroy them, and continue on.

This room has two more of the green Reaverbots like from the end of the previous test. Try jumping around and blasting them, but do so carefully. They'll cut you up faster than you can kill a suicidal flying bot with the Shining Laser maxed out. Leave and your hell is at an end!

"Bad Boy, Bad Boy, What'cha Gonna Do?"

The Reaverbot Claw is just there as a formality. You'll need it for this quest. To get it, you'll need to go to Calinca on Yosyonke Island and speak with the Junk Store owner from the back. To get there, just around from the entrance to the back of the store where you'll find a door. Speak with him and choose to take his Reaverbot Claw.

Now, the rest of this quest is unavailable until you open up the Third Key ruins on Saul Kada Island. You can manage to do one thing before then, but it is not something I typically recommend.

Regardless, for this quest, you'll have to make MegaMan's armor turn dark. Like in the previous MegaMan Legends, you do this by being a "bad boy". There are a few methods that you can do, but there are two that are rather easy. One is throwing Johnny overboard twice during the Nino Island battle sequence where you stop the Birdbots; the other is kicking the pig in the small village on Calbania Island until it, too, turns dark. The end result of this is shop prices in the Junk and General Stores being raised by 20% and you being unable to do most of the sidequests. Once that has happened, you know that you're ready for the next bit.

After having unlocked the Third Key ruins on Saul Kada Island by beating Teisel's Blitzkrieg, you can look behind the northeastern pillar in the area with the entrance to the Third Key ruins. If you speak with this man, and you're dark enough, he'll offer to take the Reaverbot Claw from you for 50,000 Zenny.

Afterwards, you can shop with this dude for the Taser (10,000 Zenny) and the Reaverbot Eye (100,000 Zenny). We need the latter only for this sidequest, but you can also get the Taser to help make the Crusher Special Weapon. After you've bought off the Reaverbot Eye, return to the Yosyonke Junk Shop and enter from the back.

Speak with the Junk Store owner from back here and he'll offer to take the Reaverbot Eye for 100,000 Zenny. That results in an overall quest profit of 50,000 Zenny. Regardless, reject his offer and he'll offer 300,000 Zenny, which is an overall quest profit of 250,000 Zenny. You may as well take that offer; if you reject again, thereafter, all he'll offer is 10,000 Zenny, which results in an overall loss of 40,000 Zenny.

That will complete this sidequest. Now, there is just one thing. You probably don't want to have to deal with the no sidequests and 20% price increase due to being dark, right? (As a reference point, the 800,000 Zenny Power Raiser Omega now costs 960,000 Zenny. Oof.) Well, you're in luck. To a point. You'll need to donate 1,000,000 Zenny to the Yosyonke Church. Ouch. If you don't plan on using the Junk Store or sidequests for the remainder of the game in such a way that the losses equal under 1,000,000 Zenny, then there's no real need. But, in case you do...

A Holy (Mega)Man

This sidequest can be pretty much done at any time in the game when you have access to the Yosyonke Church. This quest will require either 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 Zenny, depending on whether MegaMan is dark or not. You'll probably need to wait until the Fourth Key ruins, ironically in the Church, are done to grind readily for the millions of Zenny. See the [[Various Tips]] section for some details.

Anyway, the process and consequences are pretty easy to understand. If you have normal-armor MegaMan, you'll need 1,000,000 Zenny; dark-armor MegaMan for the "Bad Boy" sidequest as above requires 2,000,000 Zenny. You merely must give this to the priest in the Church via lump donations of 1,000,000 Zenny.

After the donations are done, MegaMan will walk around with a bit of a glow to him. Additionally, you'll get 20% off in the Junk and General Stores! Bet that Power Raiser Omega looks more appetizing, what with it being 160,000 Zenny cheaper!

Roll's "Revenge"

There isn't a very specific set of conditions to activate this sidequest. You'll just to do things during the game that are rather mean to Roll - examples include picking her up or shooting her on the way to the Abandoned Yosyonke Mines, shooting the Flutter down at Nino Island, and stuff like that.

When you head to the cabin after enough damage has been done, you'll find only Data, saying that Roll went to take a nap. If you head to her room, she'll mention your bad behavior and wanting you to clean up your act. If you choose to do so, nothing really happens.

However, if you take the other option and call her a busybody, you'll find the Roll supposedly broke her tool kit, raising your Special Weapon costs by 10%. That means the Shining Laser now takes 20,074,999 Zenny to max out. Ouch. To fix this, you'll need to just buy Roll her three presnets (Stuffed Animal, Cushion, Model Ship) and all will be fine.

Roll in the Bathtub

The process for this can begin pretty much any time in the game. You'll need to meet several prerequisites before the actual ... event, so to say, will happen.

• You must have bought the following for the Flutter by speaking with Roll:
  • Repairs to the Flutter's fire damage
  • A new refridgerator
  • A newspaper subscription
  • A new television

• You must have bought these Flutter decoration items:
  • Toilet Cleaner
  • Comic
  • Houseplant
  • Vase

• You must have bought Roll all three gifts:
  • Stuffed Animal
  • Cushion
  • Model Ship

Assuming you've met all of these conditions, head to the Flutter's cabin. If Roll is there, then either you didn't meet all of the prerequisites, or perhaps there is a limit on when this can happen. If she is not there, speaking with Data reveals that she went to take a bath, and also says you oughta get cleaned up, too! Well, go down the ladder in the hall, then go along that hall and turn left into the living room.

See that door diagonally across from you? Try to go through that door and we'll hear a Roll-like shriek. I bet we all know what happened. We'll watch MegaMan pump his fist outside the door for perhaps the most "O_o"-worthy moment I've ever experienced. After this, the sidequest is complete. Whenever you speak to Roll to develop Special Weapons, you'll learn that she got a new tool kit, letting her shave 10% off her prices.

That 10% may not seem like much. But look at it this way: 10% off of maxing the Shining Laser is something like 1,825,000 Zenny off. Yeah, this will definitely come in handy!

Saul Kada Speedway

This can be done after defeating the Blitzkrieg at Kimotoma City, thereby opening up the Third Key ruins. If you saved the golden statue during the boss fight, good. Otherwise, you'll have to go into the area north of the entrance to the ruins, where the statue used to be, and pay the old man five 1,000 Zenny donations, leave, and return to the area. Then speak with him again.

The Saul Kada Speedway races are basically time trials in which you must Jet Skate - yes, the Jet Skates are an absolute requirement - a lap around a circuit. You'll only earn money for doing so - 1,000 Zenny (Manda, Calinca tracks) or 1,500 Zenny (Saul Kada track), plus 10 Zenny for every 0.1 second you are better than the record.

The circuits are all pretty linear and you can learn them on your own time. Just be sure to take note of the hourglass icons that stop the clock briefly! Also beware the electric panels on the ground that will slow you down, and hold Up on the D-Pad to use the full speed of your Skates!

Pokte Island Quizzes

These can be attempted at any time after finishing the First Key ruins on Manda Island. Further below, we'll detail the answers, but first, other extraneous details.

Anyways, in the school are three people. The person on the left will yield a Pencil, Candy Apple, Candy Bar, and Strange Juice in that order for winning her quizzes, after which you'll get nothing. The person on the right will do a similar thing, but with the Notes, Pokte Tea, Mug, and Pokte Pastry.

The person in the middle, the mayor, is the important one. After winning her first quiz, you get the Textbook and Energizer Pack. Afterwards, for 100 Zenny, you can take her Ultimate Quiz. The prize for the Ultimate Quiz is the Zetsabre, which the mayor will also sell for 2,000,000 Zenny (trust me, not worth it). After getting the Zetsabre, you can still take her quiz, but no longer gain prizes.

Each quiz is a set of multiple choice questions - therefore, you have a 25% chance of being correct with a guess, and 100% if you look at this FAQ. All but the Ultimate Quiz are ten questions; the Ultimate Quiz is one hundred questions. You must get each question correct in order to pass; if you miss, the quiz ends right there.

So, Q&A time. We'll cover, in order, American history, European history, Russian history, the catch-all "all other history", music, the sciences, mathematics, sustenance (food), geography, common knowledge, and zoology. The questions and answers will be mostly be in this format:

• [The question]
  • [The answer]
  • [Some random elaboration or trivia from myself, if I felt like it]

Full-Upgrade Costs

This sub-section is for the curious who only wanted to find how much it will take to fully upgrade a Special Weapon. The table below will list the base cost, as well the + /- 10% resultant from making Roll mad or finding her in the bathtub. Note that if a value exceeded 9,090,910 Zenny as the base value for any upgrade, it was brought to 9,999,999 Zenny (for the + 10%) - as you can never have more Zenny than that - subtracted from the overall total, with the remainder being multiplied by 1.1 and re-added to the 9,999,999 Zenny.

Well, here you go. The weapons are listed from most to least expensive.

Miscellaneous Information

Digger's Licenses' Effects

Difficulty Details

Health/Zenny Tips

Value of Zenny

In the below table, it is worth noting that the Class C License is only available to those playing Easy Mode, and it cannot be upgraded. The Class B/A/S Licenses are what you get in Normal and Hard - you start with Class B in Normal and can go up to S-Rank from there, and start with S in Hard, but can't go up. The Class SS License is only allowed in Very Hard mode.

Class C Licenses produce quadruple the value in Zenny compared to Class B/A/S Licenses, and Class SS Licenses give off 50% of Class B/A/S Licenses' Zenny.
