Secrets of ZX

[Fusion]

This is a thread where you can post where you've found hidden items, and how you found them. Do NOT copy from other sites!

Okay...

Model OX - First, clear the Area M mission, which is a fairly simple fight against Promethius at the end. Head to the dataroom door in M-3, and you'll come accross a save room. Report your mission's success, and save your game. You're gonna need to. Then, if you're feeling brave, head right. You'll be in Area N-1, now. To get directly to Omega, there's three "Forks" in the road. Take the first one below the one you start on. Head right, you'll see DISAPPEARING BLOCKS. You can skip half the first part if you use HX. The second part you'll have to follow the bricks 3\4ths of the way before you can air-dash with HX. Now, the way to get OX is to defeat him using ZX and nothing else. You might want to have 2 subtanks, and a full life gauge. For expert MMZ3 players he shouldn't be much of a challenge, as ZX's charged buster and well-timed slashes with the saber will do him in quick.

Model X - Model X is UNLOCKABLE? Yeah, you can keep it for the entire game beyond when you get Model ZX if you beat the game on Normal with both Vent and Aile.

Hard difficulty level - Just beat the game once.

I'm going to clear up what Fusion said about getting Model Ox, cause I was confused after reading his explination, and I had to have Ztrl walk me through it.


Model Ox - Before you begin, make sure you have at least 2 Sub Tanks, more couldn't hurt, but have at least two. Unless you're in Hard Mode, in which case, before you begin, make sure you have money to replace your DS in case you throw it against the wall. <.<;

After you Clear Area M and defeat Pandora, you will reach a Transerver. Save, Transport out, Stock up on Extra Lives, Fill your Sub Tanks (or pray to your God or Deity, if you're in Hard Mode <.<, Transport back, and Save again.

Now, go through the door that will take you to Area N-1. You will be ambushed by a fire-breathing Face if you're not watching where you're going. Drop down to the path directly below the one you're on after killing the Face, and prepare to kill two more. You should eventually enter a different room, it will be green and black and stuff. Kill the Red crystal enemies, and press on. Try not to get hurt by the enemy generator. Destroy it, and proceed to dash under the spikes (or go over them, for our cautious members.)

You will now encounter disappearing blocks. Switch to Model Hx and just walk across the ground. When you reach the spiky wall, wait for a block to appear above your head, and Air-Dash up onto it, and just hop across the blocks until you land on the solid one with the big E-Crystal on it. Just Air-Dash/Hover over the Fire-Breathing Faces and you'll come across a long hallway with spikes across the ground and cieling. I know how much you all love those. >.>;

Wait for a block to appear before you. Now, here's the annoying part. Quickly jump across the dissappearing/reappearing blocks, if you use the Model Hx Dash Jump-Air Dash-Hover combo, you should be able to skip half of it, but be sure not to jump too high, or the spikes on the cieling will make short work of you. You should now be standing before a door. Go through the door, genious. <.<;

At this point, it's too late to say "ocrap I got 0 guys." or "I could have sworn I filled my Sub Tanks before I got here." or "Did I save after I beat Pandora..?", so I'm going to hope you were paying attention at the beginning. Walk into the center of the room, and Omega will appear just as he did in the final battle in MegaMan Zero 3. But, don't let his appearance fool you, he's much harder in ZX than he is in Zero 3. >.>;

Now, Fusion said that you HAD to use Model Zx to beat him, but I got Model Ox in Normal Mode by beating him with Model Zx, and Hard Mode by beating him with Model X, I don't know about using any other Models, but I guarentee you'll want to use Model X for this fight, or Model Zx if you don't have Model X.

Remember, use Model X if you have it, and Model Zx if not.

Because you can't double jump with any Model in this game, avoiding Omega has gotten considerably harder. You have to jump over him with well timed dash-jumps, and dash under him when he jumps. In ZX, his attacks are very similar to his attacks in Z3, but I'll go over them anyways.

Normal Sword Combo - The Standard three-hit MegaMan Zero sword combo. Just back away from him and shoot when he does this. It hurts, but it's not that bad (cept in Hard Mode. >.>

MegaMan X2 Combo - Zero's Combo from MegaMan X2, and Omegas Combo from MegaMan Zero 3, two consecutive Charged Buster Shots, followed by an energy Blade released from the Sword. Dash-jump towards the Blasts to avoid the first two, then dash-jump away from the energy blade, but turn around mid-air, and you should be able to dodge all three shots if your timing is right. This attack does some good damage, so try to avoid it.

Advanced Sword Combo - He'll corner you, and relentlessly beat you with his sword, alot... It hurts like hell (and in Hard Mode, it WILL kill you, no questions asked), so don't ever let him get to close to you while you're in the corner of the room, cause there's no way to get away from this one. Once he starts, he's gotta finish either you, or the combo. >.>;

Recovery - He'll do that attack where he punches the ground and the pillars of energy spin around him, just like in Z3, cept in this one, he recovers life while doing that. <.<; All you gotta do is stay back and it won't hurt you.

Giga Attack - This is just Like Zero's Giga Attack in MegaMan X4 and X5, and just like Omegas attack from MegaMan Zero 3, he'll punch the ground and send little energy spheres in all directions. This one's real annoying, it's easy to dodge by itself, but when Omega is chasing you, or shooting at you while one of those energy spheres is coming at you across the ground, it's real annoying.

Charges Sword - Just like in MegaMan Zero 3, Omega gets a big-ass charged sword attack that will cause rocks to rain from the ceiling. It's easy to dodge, just keep your distance and shoot.

Energy Spin - This one, like the Giga Attack, is annoying. He'll do the attack from Z3 and spin with his saber in mid air, sending little energy blades flying in all directions. This one is easy to dodge by itself, but like I said, can't really dodge it while you're avoiding Omega.

Upward Slash - He seems to favor this attack, which is good. He jumps into the air swinging his sword. Just dash under him, and pelt him with charged shots while he falls.

That's it for his attacks. All else you really need to know about the battle is to keep moving at all times, and keep your buster charged, and fire it every chance you get. As long as you don't let Omega get close enough to hit you with his sword, you should be fine, but like I said, Sub Tanks come in handy (cept in Hard Mode. >.>. Once you defeat Omega, here's where the Hard Part begins... Yes, this part gave me more trouble than fighting Omega...

Exit through the door you came in through, time to go back across the disappearing blocks. It's alot harder on the way back, but if you're real cautious, you should be able to get close enough to use Model Hx to get you the rest of the way. Now, kill the Fire-Breathing Faces, and you'll come to a rather tall wall, covered in spikes....
Yeah, I know...>.>;
Use Model Hx, and CAREFULLY Air-Dash up, and grab onto the ledge above the spikes, and climb up. Just jump down, and backtrack, kill the enemy generator, Red Crystals, and Fire-Breathing Faces again, and I'd suggest going up to the Transerver, so you can heal and SAVE. But for the love of all that is Holy, DON'T leave Area N-1. Go back through the door after saving, and drop down to the bottom pathway. You should have some stuff to kill. Anyways, go through the door, you should reach a long room, with three other doors in it. The two on the wall should say "Cannot Access this Door without MegaMan Zero 3 in cartridge slot." and "Cannot Access this Door without MegaMan Zero 4 in cartridge slot.", or something like that. Pass by those doors and go through the one on the side of the room opposite to where you came in. There, you should enter a small, empty room, with and item called "Mysterious Rock." floating in the center. GRAB IT AND RUN BACK TO THE TRANSERVER!

Now, there's nothing left to do but beat the game. If you beat Serpents Final Form, and save the game, your File should say "CLEARED!" on it. Load that file, and go talk to Fleuve in Area X-1 a couple times, and he should tell you that the Mysterious Rock is a new Biometal. Congradulations, you now have Model Ox.

W Can - You know that doll in Prairies room on the command ship? Well, there really is a reason for it. Just keap hitting the doll around with something like HX's saber, ZX's saber, ect. Eventually it will drop one of these. You can only hold one at a time. I know, sucks, doesn't it? Anyway, these completely refill all biometal energy.

Aile, Different Color Outfits - Go to Area C-1, and go through the door marked "A-2" and climb onto the ledge at the top of the hill, then go through the door. Go down the latter, and there will be a little girl. She'll send a Subquest to the Transerver to find her Pochette. Go to Area B-2 through the Transerver, climb up the latter, and head right. At the part with the Evil Yo-yo's of Death, there should be a high ledge, and on it, sits the little girls Pochette.

Return to the little girl and give her the Pochette, and go get your reward from the Transerver. Then, go back to the little girl, and repeadedly talk to her, and she'll offer you a new "cute" outfit. You should get three options.
"Different is Good." Will change your outfit.
"I'm good as I am." Will leave your outfit as is.
"I like blue." Will give you the default outfit.

When you choose "Different is good." you'll get a random outfit change. Just talk to her repeatedly again to change your outfit again, or change back to the default.

I've gotten the following results asking the girl repeatedly:
Default hair, Green outfit.
Default hair, Pink outfit.
Default hair, Purple outfit.
Gold-brown hair, Yellow outfit.
Gold-brown hair, Black outfit.
Gold-brown hair, Pink outfit.
Dark-brown hair, Red outfit.
Dark-brown hair, Yellow outfit.

And this next one it my favorite, and the rarest one:
Black hair, White outfit, Red eyes.



NOTE1: This only works as Aile, the little girl didn't offer me anything as Vent.
NOTE2: This only changes your colors while in your Human form, the Biometal aren't effected by this.

[Ballade]

each day on your B-day talk to the blonde girl with the huge glasses in area C-1 she'll give you a B-day cake that restores 8 points of health. you can reset your DS' calendar to your B-day to get another cake, you can only get this item on your B-day and after you cleared hurricane's stage.

And NM how many times do you have to ask her before she offers to give you a new outfit? Or is this the JP version only? --

This isn't so much a secret as it is a glitch, but it is pretty cool:

to use this you must either be in OX or ZX, and have your weapon setting be the R-trigger be the sub weapon (Buster)
Charge both weapons to their max, and release the charged buster and the charged saber at the same time, both weapons will fire under the guise of a charge saber, it looks cool and it does the damage of both weapons when you use it at close range, ignoring the invinciblity time for the enemy.
it'll take a few tries to get it right because you might use a charged saber instead of both, just keep practicing
It's good for killing off a mini-boss and a non-aquatic boss really quickly

now an easy method of lvl.4-ing Leganchor:
1: be in LX and swim near his mouth
2: use the halberd-spin and continue button mashing to keep it going and dealing damage
3:If he attacks with the ice serpent-things get out of the spin halberd, swim to a wall and normal kick off it to the surface, where it can't reach you, and when he rises up drop from the wall, in to the water and swim, that wave attack can't affect you either because your away from the surface, and it can't stun you because you aren't on a wall or on the ground
4: repeat until he's dead

have fun ^^

I'm not sure if there's a special requirement before she offers you clothes, or how many times you talk to her, I discovered it by accident, all I know is that you have to be Aile, and you have to have completed her sidequest. I talked to the girl 5 or 6 times, I think. But it was the American version.

[Ballade]

I got the Red eyes, white clothes and black hair, you have to finish all sidequests in order for it to actualy work.

[Miguel]

NM,which of Aile's outfits are your favorites?

That one's my favorite.

[Ruinaru]

You don't have to have all sidequests done to get your outfit changed. I know that I did the supply thingies for the sub tank in an alternate outfit. Also, there's some in HQ who can change your outift as well. She's in the last door on the right on the same floor as the lab, the transerver, and the pilot room.

Here's a method for easily level 4ing Leganchor that won't require being frustrated or accidentally hiting his weak point: switch to Fx and set the paths for both busters to be something like this:
------ []
-----[]
-[]-[]-[]-[]-[]
-[].

Stand in te very corner and activate OIS. Then go buster happy on him. If you have to dodge, deactivate OIS, switch to Lx and get as high out of the water as possible to wait it out. Then get back in the water and continue and he'll soon be as dead as a door knob. You may have to sacrifce a few E-crystals to fully upgrade Fx if you didnt level 4 Fistleo or Flammole. But good luck.
