Megaman Legends 2

Note: This game is also titled Rockman Dash 2.
 

Hard and easy modes
After finishing the game in normal mode, both hard and easy modes will be available. In easy mode, you do not need to bother updating your digging license, your first license will allow you to go into every ruin. Also the lady at the Digger's Guild will not let you take the test. Also, Zenny found when destroying Reaverbots are worth more, while shop prices are less and Bosses are easier.

Hints & Tips

Easy money
Simply find an empty can and kick it into the nearest trash can.

Obtain the Flame Barrier and an S Class Licensee then go to the Planet Elysium. Go into the defense area and proceed until you locate 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 desired.

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.

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.

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(3) to perform the Z blade three hit combo. Note: This requires a lot of energy.

Cheaper Final Buster upgrades
Megaman 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 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 Megaman
Find a pig near the home of Shu and her brothers on Carbania Island. Keep on kicking the pig and Megaman 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.

Megaman 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. Megaman cannot aim at themm but his shots can hit them. They can be killed with a couple dozen of shots.

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.

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.

Megaman 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 Megaman 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.

Megaman Legends music
Go to the Manda Island ruins (not caverns) to hear music from the original Megaman Legends Ruins. For music from the Sub-Cities go to the Digout in Nino Island and enter the elevator.
