Easy money
Simply find an empty can and kick it into the nearest
trash can.
Get the Flame Barrier and an S Class Licensee then go to the Planet
Elysium. Go into the defense area and proceed until you find a
Reverbot that is flying above you. Do not kill it -- it will make
three flaming Reverbots. Kill them and the flying Reverbot will
make more. Repeat to get as much Zenny as needed.
In Saul Kada Ruins, keep on going forward to the end of the room,
then enter. From a distance you can see two Missile Reverbots,
left and right. Destroy them both, then go down where you destroy
them. Hold [R2] and then walk around until you spot a flying
Revabot. Stand in front of it. Keep [R2] held. It will open
its mouth and usually drop 4000 Zenny. Run up and down the screen
and search for it. If you are quick enough, in 15 to 20 minute
you can get 500,000 Zenny.
When you kill a Reaverbot or anything else, go directly in the
middle of the explosion while it is blowing up. You will not get
hurt, and you will automatically get all the Zenny without it
spreading all over.
Go to the ruins where the fourth key was held. Have the Vacuum
Arm on and get to the fifth floor. Take out the missile bot in
the center, then just run around destroy all the bots that appear.
Use the Vacuum Buster to get the money so you do not get damaged.
You can get over 100,000 Zenny in 10 to 30 minutes. This will
help get more energy packs and upgrades faster.
Go to the Manda Island ruins after you get the class S license
at the gallery or digout. Then, equip the Vacuum Arm and go back
to the ruins, as long as you have already destroyed the first
breakable wall with the Drill Arm. There will be a large bird
statue (only if there is a chest at the beginning of the ruins).
Kill it to get 6,500 Zenny with no guild license, 8,000 Zenny
with the first level license, or 10,000 Zenny if you have a class
S license. After you destroy the statue and get the Zenny, go
through the door, then turn around and go back out through the
door. The bird statue will appear again. Defeat it from the door,
and once it starts exploding get very close to the door. Immediately
after you get the Zenny with the Vacuum Arm, go back trough
the door. Repeat this to get as much money as needed.
Go to Calbania and go out the door of Shu's place to see two red
Reaverbots. Destroy them both to get 5000 Zenny. Go out and come
back in and they will be there again.
The Reaverbot Eye that you buy from the man in Saul Kada can be
sold to the owner of the junk shop in Yosyonke. Go through the
back door. He will offer you 100,000 Zenny, but hold out for 300,000
Zenny. Do not ask for 500,000 Zenny or he will turn you down and
when you ask him again, he will only offer you 10,000 Zenny.
After opening the ruins on Nino Island, go to floor B2. There
will be some plate-shaped Reaverbots. Destroy and collect Zenny.
Escape and repeat. Note: The Drill Arm would be useful.
There are two trash cans in Yosyonke, each with an empty soda
can nearby. The trash can next to the general store gives you
200 Zenny when you kick the soda can into it (with [Square]
or [Triangle]). The trash can behind the doctors office gives
you 1,000 Zenny when you kick the soda can into it.
Go into Professor Barrel's room on the Flutter. The bed and one
of the desks or dressers will have Zenny in them.
Getting concealed Zenny
Zenny may get stuck in the wall or on a mountain from
time to time. To get the Zenny (Refractor Crystals) off the wall
or side surface, simply stand next to it and jump. The Zenny will
fall off the wall and you will land on top of it.
Side roll
Press [R1] + [Jump] to roll to the right
or [L2] + [Jump] to roll to the left. This is the most
useful way to evade an enemy's attack.
Rapid fire
Hold [Square] and rapidly press [Forward].
This is very helpful in acquiring the Class S License, against
the time consuming purple things. One disadvantage is that you
will have difficulty dodging against the fast ones. However, overall
this is very good against slow and immobile ones. You will not
need to upgrade your energy and rapid after learning this.
Invincible to electricity
If you wear the Hover Shoes, you will be invulnerable
to electricity.
Very Hard mode
Acquire the Class S License and successfully complete
the game.
Jet Skates/Hydrojets
While skating, hold [Up] to increase or [Down]
to decrease the speed. Press [L1] to for a medium left turn
or [R1] for a medium right turn. Hold [Down] + [Left]
+ [L1] for extreme left cornering and [Down] + [Right]
+ [R1] for extreme right cornering.
Getting the Jet Skates
Use the following trick to get the Jet Skates quickly.
In the first ruin where you have to save Joe, get the old hover
jets. When you first go down, take the path on the right, then
go straight into the room. The jets should be in that room. After
you save Joe and go to the surface, go to the Junk Shop and buy
the Roller Board. Take this to Roll and she will make you the
Jet Skates.
Getting the Drill Arm
Get the Heavy Gear from the box to the right of the
Sulfur-Bottom when you head to Bluecher. It is directly in front
of the door to the right. You also need the Blunted Drill from
the pottery barrels to the right of the building next to the ruin
with the first key.
Drill Arm in combat
Use your Drill Arm on Bosses, such as the three jellyfish
or Bola and Claymore. A fully powered up drill can destroy them
in seconds, and works against any enemy that you can reach at
point blank range. It also destroys tough normal enemies with
one hit, and uses little to no power. It is also incredibly cheap
to upgrade.
Lifter Arm in combat
The Lifter Arm is an extremely useful weapon if used
correctly. If you are weak, pick up an enemy (the larger, the
better, as the enemy weight and size determines the damage given),
such as a Shielder, and throw it into any enemy of equal or lesser
size. It will kill them both on contact. Also, if you throw a
Shielder into a second Sheilder, when they explode they will drop
a lot of Healing Blocks and some Zenny. If you throw a Sheilder
at a group of smaller enemies, such as a few of Frog robots, the
Sheilder will kill every Reaverbot that it comes in contact with.
This makes it a useful way to clear out rooms, especially under
hard or very hard difficulty settings.
Getting the Cleated Shoes
Complete the Train level then go back through the train's
entrance. You should run to an area with one box and will get
the Spike Chip.
Getting the Zen-Blade (Zero's Blade)
After answering the mayor of Manda Island's set of
questions, talk to her again. She will offer The Zen Blade for
an amount of Zenny or answering 100 questions. After doing either
task, you will receive a tool that Roll can change into the blade.
This weapon is only good for close attacks but is not very powerful
.Press [Triangle]x3 to perform the Z blade three hit combo.
Note: This requires a lot of energy.
Cheaper Final Buster upgrades
Mega Man can buy his Final Buster upgrades cheaper
in Pokte Island if you do not allow the buildings to be destroyed
or if you paid to have them be rebuilt.
Saving Data
At the start of the game, when you have to save Data
in the fire, allow the fire to hit you until your life gauge turns
red. Roll will turn on the sprinklers and you will not have to
do any work.
Defeating Bosses
For any Boss, a good strategy is to equip a special
weapon that you can run with while shooting, such as the Machine
Buster. If possible, take a Hyper Cartridge. Run around them using
the sideways run, turning to adjust your path every once in a
while. Along with jumping, you should be able to avoid most of
the attacks. Shoot the special weapon to wear them down, and use
your Buster to finish them off. Note: If you have the Laser, it
is much more useful than any other weapon. Note: If you are fighting
Sera, wait until it is in the second form to use the special weapon.
Defeating Jellyfish
In the ruin in which you acquire the second key, take
Drill Arm with you. If you are having trouble with the Jellyfish,
get close to them. A full Drill Attack should kill one. Do this
on all three of them. If done correctly without any setbacks,
you should defeat them. You can also use the Drill Arm on . You
should be able to defeat him easily if you use the Drill Arm correctly.
Defeating Reaverbots
Successfully complete the game under the very hard
difficulty setting. Start a new game and look at your Buster parts.
You now will have the Accessory Pack Omega, which maxes out all
of your abilities.
Defeating Shielders
If you shoot a Shielder with any high impact weapon,
its shield will be blown away allowing it to be hit more easily.
Shark tactic
Lock onto an enemy by holding [R2] (or whatever
is configured) and hold [Square] (fire) or [Triangle]
(special weapon) while holding either [Left] or [Right],
This works best on Bosses -- most of their attacks will soar past.
If you see a homing projectile soaring your way, roll and/or jump
and then continue to perform the "Shark tactic". It
is recommended that the special weapon "Homing Missile"
or "Shining Laser" be ysed when fighting a Boss. Every
now and then a Boss may bypass this trick and fire directly in
front of you -- for example, during Tron Bonne's first attempt
(Crab Bot). Note: This tactic does not work on Crab Bot when she
is performing her "Machine Gun Spray" attack (when she
spins and keeps firing). Also, it will not work on Sara in either
form.
Black Mega Man
Find a pig near the home of Shu and her brothers on
Carbania Island. Keep on kicking the pig and Mega Man will get
darker, then the pig with a couple of kicks/throws later. Note:
If you do this you will not be able to take the Mayor's Quiz on
Manda Island.
Mega Man can turn black by killing the two running yellow animals
in Yoshyokne Town, at the location with the broken train station
and the house (at the beginning of the game) outside the city.
Mega Man cannot aim at themm but his shots can hit them. They
can be killed with a couple dozen of shots.
On Nino Island in Danger Room 2, shoot the cannons until they
explode. People will be lying on the ground. Pick them up by pressing
[Triangle] and throw them off the edge. Do the same to the
person who does not have a cannon that says "Hot".
Cure Black Mega Man
People will not like Mega Man as much when he is affected
by his dark armor gained by going bad things. To fix this, go
to the church on the first island explored. Ask the priest to
give a donation, and offer a large amount of Zenny. If it is large
enough, he will bless Mega Man and his darkness will be gone.
White Mega Man
Give 1,000,000 Zenny to the church to turn white and
get a 20% discount at all shops.
Pig
After destroying Glyde's base, Shu will give you a
pig. Sell it for 5000 Zenny. Do not give it to the girl on Nino
Island, as she will eat it, which is what Shu told you not to
do.
Picnic Lunch
Talk to Roll on the Flutter and pay the 4,000 Zenny
to fix the kitchen and other areas Data burned in the fire at
the beginning as soon as possible. Not only can you get the Broken
Motor after it is fixed, but you also can talk to Roll and she
will say "There's something I want..." She will ask
for a new refrigerator. Buy it for her, then exit the Flutter
and re-enter. Go to the second floor and to the kitchen area.
Check the refrigerator and you will get a Picnic Lunch, which
refreshes all of your life gauge. After you use it, you can return
and get another. This way you can always have a secondary Canteen
available. Use the Picnic Lunch first, so you do not have to use
the expensive Canteen. Remember to use it only after down to nothing.
Cut down trees
After the train event in Yokeshstone, go to where the
explosion is located. Look for trees. Equip the Drill Arm and
hit the tree. It will either blow up or fall down.
Energy level
Do not panic when you have about three hits left on
your life bar. No matter how low you are, until your energy bar
is flashing red, you are good to go. As long as you have even
less than half an energy "click" left in your life gauge
you still have two hits, and not one. This should prove helpful
during long levels and Bosses
Avoid burning or freezing to death
You can never burn or freeze to death if you are in
the red with shield and on fire. Wait for the fire (or ice) to
go out, then use your Canteen. Note: If you go out of fire and
get hit by the "tongue" of fire or ice via a Shielder
(or anything else that may set you ablaze, such as lava or ice
pits) again, you will be terminated.
Refractor values
Refractors are found after destroying Reaverbots that
are not on the test or "Refractor Bosses".
Small silver Refractors: 5 Zenny
Green Refractors: 25 Zenny
Yellow Refractors: 50 Zenny
Pink Refractors: 150 Zenny
Light purple Refractors: 250 Zenny
Purple Refractors: 500 Zenny
Special Refractor values
These are found after defeating a previous Boss or
Bosses in certain ruins in the room after the defeated Boss.
Refractor B: 30,000 Zenny
Refractor A: 50,000 Zenny
Refractor S: 100,000 Zenny
High ledge
Go to the underground water dungeon under the little
Island that was attacked by Glyde and the Birdbots gang. Get to
where Roll says that there is a place very high up. Use the following
trick to get up to the high platform. Have the Hydrojet equipped,
which enables Jet-Skate underwater. Then aim forward and hold
[Up] while Jet-Skating in order to get to the other side
of the platform. Although it looks far, it will work because you
have a greater chance to get height when underwater.
Elysium Residential Area: Path through
the light
On the beginning Island, you will see some portals
open and some closed. Look at your mini-display-map at the top-left
side of the screen and go to the portal until you on the map (the
blue arrow) is pointing as close to directly up as possible. Enter
that portal. Point the blue arrow on the map again and go up.
There should be a flaming Reaverbot or two walking around. Defeat
the bot(s) and point the arrow on the map right. More Reaverbots
will be on this island. Take another right. Now go downward. There
should be three Reaverbots marching around. Now, turn left and
that should be the end of your trek. Go inside the building to
save.
Elysium: Easy Zenny
After you find the giant refractor in the defense area
and use it to power the elevator on the Central Area, you can
receive easy Zenny by killing the three yellow Reaverbots. You
can destroy them easily without taking damage by jumping on top
of the gates. Usually the Reaverbots will just run around the
gate, trying to hit you. Just destroy them and collect the over
6,000 Zenny each one rewards. Return to the Shuttle Bay Area via
the elevator, return, and repeat.
Nino Island: Killing enemies
On Nino Island, where you get the second key, you can
kill the three jellyfish-like Reaverbots and the gigantic red
fish-like Reaverbots very easily. After you flood the floor, walk
towards the small passage where you must place a metal block on
a button to pass. Very near to it, you can find another door leading
to another elevator. Go up using the elevator, activate the computer
systems to drain the water from the floor below, and return. Now,
the red fish-like reaverbots harmlessly flop about, allowing you
to destroy them to receive lots of Zenny. Along with this, the
three jellyfish cannot move at all. Just shoot yellow energy spheres
around, which are very slow. Kill them for more Zenny, along with
the key.
Pokte Village: Flying Mega Man
When in Pokte Village, if you do not allow the buildings
to be destroyed or you paid to have them be rebuilt, enter the
shop and purchase a model of the Sulpher Bottom. Give this to
Roll and she will put it in her room. Go in there and jump on
the model from underneath. Mega Man will hold on and start flying
around the room.
Yoshyokne Town: Duck
Go to Yoshyokne Town (the snowy place) and look around
the city. You will eventually find a duck. If you can jump on
top of it (overhead view helps) you can use it as a skateboard.
While you are on top of the duck, press [Square] to kick
and the duck will start moving with you on it. To change direction,
press [L1] or [R1] and kick.
Zero poster
Enter Yosolonke's Item Shop and go near the back of
the store to see a poster of Zero with his Black Armor.
Mega Man television show
In the snowy town, go into the bar and stand by the
table furthest from the television. Jump to see the first episode
of Mega Man on the television screen.
Get hit by Roll
At the beginning of the game when you are with Roll,
try to grab her with the lifter arm. She will slap you and cause
damage.
"Mega Man Legends
music
"Go to the Manda Island ruins (not caverns) to hear
music from the original Mega Man Legends Ruins. For music
from the Sub-Cities go to the Digout in Nino Island and enter
the elevator.
Glitch: Closed ruins
On Nino Island, when you open the ruins go up to the
first floor and look down through the caged floor. You should
find that the ruins are closed, even though you opened it.
