Mega Man X Legacy Collection

(Missable)

This upgrade is straight forward to get, unlike the Hadoken or Shoryuken. To get it, X must have all collectible items in the game EXCEPT the special enhancement chips. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OF THE FOUR enhancement chips. The hardest part is REACHING it as there is a very annoying compactor to get past. When you get to the capsule, you need full life as well, though you do not need to be undamaged or have 9 lives or anything like that.

First, you need all 4 armor parts, all 8 heart tanks, all 4 sub tanks and all 4 Ride Armor adapters.

Or use this password to bypass all the grinding and go straight to where you need to go stage with all the power ups.

Refer to All Units Stand By and Third Armor .

The 8 Heart Tanks are found here:

• Blizzard Buffalo – Use a Ride Armor to break the ice blocks at the beginning of the stage. The heart tank is below.
• Toxic Seahorse – Before the first sub boss room you’ll proceed upwards through some sludge. Near the top you’ll be going through two waterfalls of sludge. Keep going to the top to reach the heart tank.
• Tunnel Rhino – Not far into the stage, there will be a room on the right off of the normal path, with a rock held by rope in the ceiling. Use a charged Triad Thunder, with the Arm Parts, to reach it.
• Volt Catfish – There is an elevator with spikes on either side that rises up. Normally you get off half way, but if you ride it to the top there is a small room to the right where the heart tank is. Dash jump or better yet air dash to the other side and get the tank.
• Crush Crawfish – In the beginning, a Hamma Hamma will break through the floor creating a path down. Part way, there is a breakable wall. Use the Ride Armor to break the wall, leading to the heart tank on the other side.
• Neon Tiger – After the 2nd sub boss room, there is an open area with a Tombort to ride. Ride on it and dash jump to the right to find the heart tank in a small alcove right above the boss door.
• Gravity Beetle – Inside the hanger at the beginning, it is located on a platform in the upper left, normally hidden behind immovable crates. Return after defeating Blast Hornet and the crates will be gone.
• Blast Hornet – In the middle of the stage in the outdoor area, before opening the door and re-entering the building, use the Foot Parts to air dash upwards on the side of the building. The heart tank is on the roof.

The 4 Sub Tanks are found here:

• Blizzard Buffalo – This is in plain sight, in the upper left corner of the end area, where it’s snowing. After getting the Foot Parts, get on the ledge jump over, air dash straight up to reach it.
• Tunnel Rhino – Before the first sub boss room, it’s hidden in an easily reached upper right corner.
• Neon Tiger – In the first wide open area, it’s in a small alcove in the upper right. Reach it either by riding a Tombort or using the air dash.
• Volt Catfish – After the sub boss room, move right and then up. Get a Ride Armor and then drop down the way you came to crash through the floor. The sub tank is down there.

In the first Dr. Doppler stage, proceed past the sub boss Rex 2000. Work your way through the big room and down. Make sure to collect enough health items to restore your life to 100% before dropping down the opening next to a Walk Blaster and Caterkiller into the next area.

Immediately in the next area you will see a pitfall. Slide down the left wall and into a faux wall where a hidden room and the capsule are. Get to the capsule with full life and a purple Dr. Light capsule should be present. Dr. Light has found a way to incorporate all four enhancement chips into a single chip, granting you the upgrade to all four parts, and turning your armor gold. This has been referred to as the Hyper Special armor in the past.

You now have access to dual air dash jumps, automatic healing, a barrier on getting hit, and a new buster sub weapon.
