Mega Man X Zone - Mega Man X6

* Story *

It is three weeks since the colony, Eurasia, fell to Earth (MMX5). Zero successfully stopped the crash of the colony and saved the earth, but in the process he was destroyed. The humans on Earth live underground to escape the deadly toxins that float in the air from the attack of the Sigma Virus. The Maverick hunters and Reploids start to try and clean up the mess and toxins so that they can start over. No sooner do they start, Alia contacts X and tells him that there's a reploid that was thought to be dead that has gone Maverick. With Zero's trusty Z-Sabre in hand, X heeds her call and destroys the Maverick. Then out of nowhere appears a pinkish specter of what looks like Zero. Thus begins Mega Man X: Episode VI.

* Bosses *

     Again Capcom has gotten lazy with us and decided not to translate the names correctly. These are the bosses names as they appear in the game.

The order of bosses by weapon weakness:

   1. Commander Yammark
   2. Ground Scaravich
   3. Blaze Heatnix
   4. Blizzard Wolfang
   5. Rainy Turtloid
   6. Metal Shark Player
   7. Shield Sheldon
   8. Intinity Mijinion

Alternat Bosses

There are 2 ways to finish each character's level. One way will take you to the boss of that level. The other way will take you to one of three alternat bosses. No matter what stage you play, if you take the Alternate route, you'll fight Nightmare Zero. Then after you beat Zero and gain him as a playable character, you'll fight High Max (A new character that you'll meet in the first stage) every time until you beat him. Then for the rest of the game (if you take an alternate path) you'll fight Dynamo (yeah that little creep is still alive). You'll know that you're taking the alternat path of a stage when you've found a Blue Teleporter. That blue teleporter will teleport you to the alternate path.

Nightmare Zero	Get some practice with the Z-Sabre before you face Nightmare Zero. Most of Zero's attacks do a lot of damage so I suggest using the walls to your advantage. You can also jump over a lot of his attacks if you're hanging on the wall. Jump over his attack and trounce on him with his own Z-Sabre.
High Max	High Max is the hardest character in the game by far!! You need to shoot him with your X-Buster, then while he's flashing, hit him with a secondary weapon from one of the stage bosses. I suggest either the Meteor Rain, or (if you have it) the Ray Arrow weapon. You cannot hit him when he uses his 2 ring shield and charges you. Dodge that attack by Air Dashing over him. After you've dealt a lot of damage to him, he jumps into the center of the room and does this stupid killer move over and over again. This mean you need to UNLOAD on him with the secondary weapon you were using. It'll take a couple tries but eventually you'll get good at taking him out. He'll really get on your nerves though. If you're playing as Zero against him, do just the oposite. Hit him with a secondary weapon, and then nail him with the Z-Sabre while he's flashing.
Dynamo	Yes that little Jag-Off, Dynamo is still alive and kicking. His weakness is the Meteor Rain, or (for Zero) the Ensuizan. If you hit him with his weakness he's really easy to defeat. When you hit him, he flashes for a second, then jumps to the other site of the screen. So all you need to do is: shoot, duck, turn around. Even if you don't have the Meteor Rain yet, he's not that hard to just fight as normal. Just keep charging up your X-Buster shots and use the walls to dodge his spinning blads. When he puts his hand in the air to do a ground slam, make sure you try to get above him because that will be the only safe spot in the room to avoid the lazer beams.

Sigma

This is the EASIEST Sigma to ever grace the X series. This battle can be made even easier if you have the Ultimate Buster part. Sigma has 2 forms. The first form is just him in a ripped-up red robe. Hit him with the Metal Anchor weapon. You'll do more damage if you nail him with a charged him shot of the Metal Anchor. After that he turns into this huge robot of the right side of the screen. He'll drop these little green skulls on you. Shoot them and you'll get power-ups (i.e. Life, weapon energy, 1-UPs!!) and it'll also keep them off of your back. When Sigma opens his mouth to shoot, nail him in the kisser with a shot of the Ground Dash weapon. Again, if you charge this weapon, it's easier to hit Sigma, and it does more damage. After a few practice tries at this match, you'll be able to finish him without using any energy tanks.

* Armor Parts *

Mega Man X6 also has 3 different extra armors besides X's blue armor! Check out the link below to see the locations for the capsules.

Armor Part Locations

* Power Up Parts *

Nightmare Souls

First of all you need to know about Nightmare Souls. The Nightmares are little reploids that have Red and Blue tenticles. They can possess un-rescued reploids (so you want to destroy them QUICKLY!!!) and turn them into mavericks. When you destroy an Nightmare, you can collect it's soul (Little blue orb that appears after you waste him). These souls determine your Hunter Rank. Depending on your Hunter rank, you'll be able to equip 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 power-up parts. The first 3 parts are easy to achieve, but it gets harder. At 5000 souls you'll be able to equip 4 parts, and at 9999 you'll be able to equip 5 parts.

Like in X5, there are power up parts to be had in this game. The only difference is that these parts are a HELL of a lot easier to get and you don't have to kill yourself a bunch of time to get them. Well I lied there is another difference in these parts. They are devided into Normal, X, Zero, and Limited parts. Normal Parts can be used by X or Zero. X Parts can only be used by X, and Zero parts can only be used by Zero. Limited parts can be equipped by either character, but only one can be equipped and that part can only be used once per stage (You can also only use Limited parts when you have 3 or more part slots. You'll notice in each level there are 15 Reploids to rescue. 5 of these reploids in each level hold little goodies for you. Life +, Energy +, and power up parts. Below I have listed the of the Reploids that have special items, and which level they are from.
