Easy Enemies:
Go on Optic Sunflowers stage and you'll be in a training area, where you will

enemy (low, medium, high). If you want to get out of there with the least amount
of damage, if any at all, don\'t touch the enemy and just watch your clock. When
it turns yellow, take out the enemy. If you keep this up, you\'ll get nothing
but easy enemies!

defeat the final Boss with a double attack.

Successfully complete the game with all of X's metals and all eight armor

kill every Boss with only the Buster and Saber.
Recommended Boss order:
The following is the recommended order of Boss to take on based on weapon
weaknesses. Note: Vile is weak against Yeti's ice weapon.
Bamboo Pandemonium
Earthrock Trilobite
Gigavolt Man O War
Avalanche Yeti
Burn Rooster
Optic Sunflower
Dark Mantis
Gravity Antonion
Use the following Boss order, with the corresponding
weapon weakness.
Optic Sunflower (Green Spinner)
Dark Mantis (Shining Ray)
Avalanche Yeti (Shadow Runner)
Burn Rooster (Drift Diamond)
Gravity Antonion (Melt Creeper)
Earthrock Trilobyte (Squeeze Ball)
Gigabolt Man-O-War (Crystal Wall)
Bamboo Pandamonium (Thunder Dancer)
Vile (Drift Diamond)
Copy Sigma (Shadow Runner)
Sigma (X-Buster)
Lumine (X-Buster)
Lumine, Angel form (X-Buster)
Use the following Boss order. Each Boss' weakness is
the weapon acquired from the Boss listed above it. Though Earthrock Trilobite's
helmet is destroyed by the gravity weapon and it does more damage, attacking
with guard breaking moves (full charge, third swing, eighth shot) will only
knock the helmet off and he will be vulnerable while he tries to return to it.
Earthrock Trilobite (weak against Guard Breaks or
Gravity Weapon; harder as he is not distracted)
Gigavolt Man-O-War (weak against Avalanche Yeti)
Burn Roster
Bamboo Pandamoniam
Optic Sunflower
Dark Mantis
Gravity Antionim
Avalanche Yeti stage: Rare Metal and armor piece:
After you defeat the mini-Boss the second time (use Axl and Zero with
Palette as navigator), Palette tells you that there is an ice path on the top pf
the ledge. Go up there with Zero, then use Axl to hover over to the left to get
the Rare Metal. Go back to that stage with X and Zero. After defeating the
mini-Boss the second time go back up the ledge (before going to Avalanche Yeti)
with Zero. Melt the ice with either weapon obtained from Optic Sunflower, then
switch to X to get the Helmet H armor piece.
Bamboo Pandemonium stage: Leg Part I for X:
To get this, Ride Armor and Zero are suggested. After you get past the trap
room (where you fight all the Ride Armors), kill everything here. As Zero, take
the Ride Armor up on the elevator, hover over, air dash, then finally jump out
and do a double jump. If done correctly, you can switch to X and get the part.
Bamboo Pandemonium stage: Rare Metals:
First, copy the roller guy with Axl. After you get past the elevator with
the armor opponent, there are two elevators. Keep on the left elevator for two
seconds then jump off. Get out of your Ride Armor and at the bottom there is a
small hole. Use the ability from the roller guy and go through the hole to get a
Rare Metal. Then, keep the Ride Armor and have a Prickle Barrier . Go through
the spike floor and the elevator will move. You can now get another Rare Metal.
Burn Rooster stage: Rare Metal:
Have Axl and anyone else and Layer as navigator. Get to the area where you
see a flying guard. Layer will say that he is copyable. Get the Copy chip from
him and go back to the place where the two bats were hanging. Activate the
guards copy DNA. You will see a small hole in the area with spikes around it.
Fly into the hole to get a Rare Metal.
Booster Forest stage: Steal enemy Ride Armors:
Get Axl and shoot enemy Ride Armors with any weapon in his arsenal. The
pilot will blow up, while the fresh Ride Armor sits available. Note: It lacks a
stun gun.
Earthrock Trilobite stage: Armor capsule:
To get past the canisters and get to the Armor Pod, you need the weapon
acquired from Burn Rooster. Just shoot and get the armor.
Gravity Antonion stage: Head capsule to X's Neutral
armor:
Go to the Gravity Antonion stage. Use Palette as Navigator (Axl and X
recommended). When you reach the room with two teleporters, switch the room
twice and hover over the spiked area to the right. Land in the middle break and
enter the teleporter.
Gravity Antonion stage: Zero's Rare Metal:
Zero's Rare Metal is found in the Gravity Antonion stage. Use Axl and Zero,
with Layer as Navi. Copy the DNA of the characterswho walk and dash on spikes.
It is in the room after the Skipe Block mini Boss, not right after. It is about
the third room after, in the far lower left corner.
Noah's Park stage: Buster capsule to X's Neutral
Armor:
After you complete the Noah's Park stage, return there. The door is now open
at the place where you jumped up to continue.
Noah's Park stage: Rare Metal:
When you have the Icarus Armor, go to Noah's Park stage again with Pallete
as navigator. When you get to the room where she says "Find a way to break
those rocks above you", jump up and hit the rocks with the Icarus Armor. Up
there is a Rare Metal.
Optic Sunflower Stage: Finish Practice Rooms Easily:
First room: Ocean: Must defeat more than ninety enemies.
Use Zero with D-Glaive equipped. When the enemies start appearing, use the
Resensetsu. If done quick enough, you should have defeated ninety enemies.
Second room: Falling in Mid-Air: Must defeat enemy
within ten seconds. Use X with Nova Strike/Giga Attack equipped. When you see
the enemy he will pause for a moment in mid-air, just short of where you need
him to be. Just at that moment, perform the Nova Strike or the Giga Attack.
Third room: Multiple Platforms: Defeat an enemy within
ten seconds. Use X with Nova Strike or Giga Attack equipped. Most of the time
the enemy will be behind and above you. You must turn around quickly and jump.
then perform the Nova Strike or Giga Attack.
Fourth room: Rotating Gears: Must be completed within
ten seconds. Have either X or Zero. You will notice two enemies jumping near
you from either side. Wait for one of the enemies to get close to you. Then,
press R2 to perform the Buddy Attack. If done correctly you will defeat
both at them at the same time.
Optic Sunflower stage: Fight Cutman:
Start the game with a Mega Man X: Command Mission saved game file on your
memory card. Immediately before you fight Sunflower, you navigator will say
something about a signal marked "CM". A portal will open, and you can
fight Cutman. He can be killed with a charged Buster Shot.
Pitch Black stage: Light Generator and Rare Metal:
Have Axl and X, and Pallete as your navigator. When you get into the room
where Palette says there is a generator, have Axl go into a spotlight and copy a
guard. When you get to the ledge where you jump down, do not do so yet. Instead,
jump on the other ledge and copy the guard on the ledge. Jump up to the room and
you will find a sleeping guard. Do the salute and he will open the door for you.
Use the Plasma Gun or Thunder Dancer on the generator to activate it. Also in
that same room, use a Charged Crystal Wall to bring up a Rare Metal.
Easy Metals:
This trick requires a Life Tank, but it does not have to be full. Spend all
your Metals until you have less than 50. After that, buy the Life Charge Chip.
Normally you cannot buy it if you do not have more than 50 Metals. If it works,
you will see the Metal counter get crazy. You can now buy anything at the
R&D Lab. If you take any Metal on a stage, the metal counter will drop to
the top (9999999).
Easy combo multiplier:
You must have the D-Glaive Weapon for Zero, the Rasensetsu (the weapon
obtained from Dark Mantis). Enter a level with Zero and look for a the enemy
that shoots three rockets at you at the same time. Equip the D-Glaive and stand
far enough from the enemy to where you will not kill him, but will still be able
to get him to shoot rockets at you. Then, perform the spin attack obtained from
Dark Mantis in mid air. After awhile you will rack up a large number of combo
attacks.
Easy money:
To get extra money, just stay in one area and run right and left. You get
the money when you run left, and you must run right or it will not work. Do not
press Circle going both ways.
