BLADE ARMOR PARTS LOCATION |
--COMMANDER YAMMARK'S
STAGE
Just after
you drop down into the first underground area, you should see an
opening in the wall on the right behind the praying mantis type enemy.
Head through to find the capsule behind a trapped Reploid. The BOOTS part of the BLADE ARMOR will allow X to perform
the Mach Dash - a powerful mid-air dash. To use it, jump up and hold
the dash button. X will be able to dash in any direction.
|
--GROUND SCARAVICH'S
STAGE
This capsule
will be difficult to find, as it's hidden in one of the random totem
pole areas, so it might take a while for you to find it. Once you land
in the correct area you should spot the capsule straight away, sitting
up on a ledge. Jump up to the capsule to trigger it off. The HELMET part of the BLADE ARMOR will allow X to consume
less energy while using special weapons than normal. |
--SHIELD SHELDON'S
STAGE
The SPEEDSTER
or HYPER DASH will help here,
use
either Zero or X's FLACON ARMOR
to reach it. Head down to the teleport portal which leads to the secret
boss room, but once you drop down out of the room with the reflecting
lasers and into the room with the floor lined with spikes, jump through
the wall on the left and you'll find a large hole ahead. Jump up and
rescue the trapped Reploid floating above, then jump out left as far as
you can go and MID AIR DASH to
the left. You should hopefully manage to grab onto the edge of the
platform ahead, the capsule will be waiting just ahead. The ARMOR part of the BLADE ARMOR will give X a stronger
defense power, and will also give him a special Giga Attack move,
unique to the Blade Armor.
|
--INFINITY
MIJINION'S
STAGE
This capsule
will be very easy to find. Once you destroy the second large cable
which causes the Giant Reploid in the background to explode, a TELEPORT PORTAL will appear. Jump in
to be taken to the area leading to the secret boss room. Once you
reappear, head left to find the capsule sitting alongside an energy
heart. The X-BUSTER part of
the Blade Armor will give X a new charged shot which will leave plasma
blasts behind when it strikes an enemy to cause further damage. You can
also perform a special Z-Saber attack by holding up while releasing
fire after charging up the X-Buster. |
SHADOW ARMOR PARTS LOCATION |
--BLAZE HEATNIX'S
STAGE
You'll need
the same requirements to reach this as you did for the heart and energy
tank in this stage. Once you reach the tall shaft leading up to the
heart, head up there and keep going to the very top of the shaft. You
should then easily spot this capsule sitting up on a platform at the
top. The X-BUSTER part of the SHADOW ARMOR will allow X to
perform a deadly charged saber attack, as well as giving him a new
standard shot, small ninja-star shaped projectiles that fly out in
different directions. |
--BLIZZARD WOLFANG'S
STAGE
You'll need ZERO
or BLADE ARMOR equipped to
reach this
one. When you reach the end of the first part of the stage, you'll
reach an area with a sloping ridge with huge ice blocks falling down.
You should spot a platform up above the base of the slope, use either ZERO'S DOUBLE JUMP or the BLADE ARMOR AIR DASH to reach the
top of the platform. Once there, head right to find the capsule behind
more falling ice blocks. The BOOTS
upgrade will allow X to jump up to a ceiling while hanging upside-down.
Press fire while hanging to fire down three shots. You can also dash
left and right while hanging upside-down. You can also stick to walls
without sliding down, and can walk on spiked areas without losing a
life. |
--RAINY TURTLOID'S
STAGE
You need the BLADE
ARMOR to reach this one. Once
you reach the final acid rain area before Rainy's room, instead of
dropping down to the area with all the cores down small alcoves, jump
across to the other side beyond the health pod, and you should find a
small opening in the wall lined with spikes. This next part will be
tricky, as you need to use the AIR
DASH and aim very carefully so you fly between the spikes. Jump
up, then just before you hit the ground activate the dash, hold it down
to check and see if you're in the right position. If it looks low
enough, release the dash button and you should hopefully fly through
the gap and land on the other side. Then use the same technique as
before to make it through the next spike filled gap to find the
capsule. The --ARMOR upgrade
gives X a new type of Giga Attack, one where two large crescent shaped
projectiles will fly around X and cause serious damage to any enemies
in range. |
METAL SHARK PLAYERS
STAGE
You'll need the BLADE
ARMOR with either SPEEDSTER
or HYPER DASH equipped to
reach this
one. Once you reach the second compactor area, head through until you
find a ladder leading down. Instead of going down, head left (destroy
any brown blocks in the way with the Ground Dash) and you'll find that
the room extends further. Wait until the compactor rises, then quickly
keep dashing to the left until you drop off the platform to find
another ladder. Head down and you'll drop down into a new area. Go
right until you find a huge hole. Destroy the three Nightmares there,
then jump out as far as you can go over the hole, then use the AIR DASH to reach the other side.
You'll spot the capsule just ahead as well as a trapped Reploid and the
teleport portal leading to the secret boss room. The HELMET upgrade allows X to swing his
Z-Saber at a faster rate than normal. |
ALL THE ARMORS/SPECIAL ARMORS |
The Falcon Armor from X5 is
available to him this time. The armor has the same abilities that it
did in X5, except this time you can only perform a mid-air dash and not
the hover move, and you'll be able to charge up special weapons. The
Falcon Armor will have the same charged shot as before, and this time
you'll also have the Z-Saber as an extra weapon. The mid-air dash move
is slow but effective, and X will also be able to perform the Giga
Attack - one which will cause energy bolts to fly up and down the
screen, any enemies caught in the fire will be seriously damaged or
destroyed.
|
The
Blade Armor offers X several
new abilities, including a new charged shot for the X-Buster and a
strengthened Z-Saber swipe attack. You'll also have the Mach Dash - a
powerful dash which will allow X to dash in any direction. The longer
you hold down the dash button, the further X will fly. For the first
second or two after the move is performed X will be invincible and can
damage any enemies in the way. The charged shot is not as strong as the
Falcon Armor's, but once it strikes an enemy it'll leave behind a
plasma blast that will continue to damage the enemy for a few seconds.
X can also perform a new Giga Attack, once performed he'll swing out a
huge double wave of energy from the Z-Saber, anything caught in the
blast will be severely damaged or destroyed. This armor suit will also
be able to use the special weapons gained from defeated bosses while
consuming less energy than normal.
|
The
Shadow Armor suit has similar
abilities to the Gaea Armor in X5, but with some new features. Once
again you'll be able to walk on spikes without taking any damage, and
you'll also be able to stick to walls and objects without sliding down
them. The X-Buster's normal shots will be replaced with small
ninja-star type projectiles, and the charged shot will deliver a huge
and very powerful Z-Saber swipe attack. You'll also be able to perform
faster swings with the Z-Saber, allowing X to damaged enemies at a
faster rate than normal. X can also stick to the ceiling while firing
down three shots at a time, jump up while holding up to jump up to the
ceiling. You can also dash to the left or right while hanging
upside-down. X can perform normal dash moves, but he can't use the
mid-air dash. The special Giga Attack will cause X to swing out two
huge crescent shaped projectiles which will spin around him a few times
before dissipating. Anything caught in range will be seriously damaged
or completely destroyed. You won't be able to use any special weapons
with this suit. A good Power-up part to use with the Shadow Armor is
the Ultimate Buster, as you'll be able to perform the stronger Z-Saber
swipe every time you press fire.
|
X's
Ultimate Armor can only be accessed by
inputting a special code on the title screen. The armor works in
exactly the same way as the ones in X4 & X5, including the awesome
Nova Strike Attack. X will have the huge charged-up shot which leaves
behind a plasma ball which continues to damage enemies, he'll also be
able to mid-air dash and use the Z-Saber in the same way as the Falcon
Armor. You'll also be able to use all of the special weapons. The Nova
Strike attack is the same as in the previous games, and you'll still be
able to perform it an unlimited amount of times. Just about every
single enemy and boss in the game can be damaged by the Nova Strike, so
it can almost always guarantee victory over the enemy. You'll also be
able to perform the hover move by pressing jump once you've jumped up. |
Once
you regain Zero as a playable
character he'll have the black armor. This armor is identical to Zero's
normal armor, the only difference is that it'll have three Power-up
Parts already installed - the Saber Plus, Shock Absorber and Shot
Eraser. You'll also consume 1/3 less weapon energy than normal when you
use a special weapon or technique. This way you'll be able to have
normal parts equipped while having three already available.
