Mega Man X Legacy Collection

(Missable)

After beating the first two Maverick bosses, the X-Hunters will make a threat to X. They have Zero’s parts and must be defeated to reclaim them. Each time you return to the stage select, you will see them teleport to a stage. Go to one of those stages, marked with a Sigma logo, to find an X-Hunter.

In each Maverick stage there is one hidden room that is normally locked. When the X-Hunters are in those stages, the door becomes unlocked allowing you to face them. Now you must defeat the X-Hunter and recover one of Zero’s parts. Defeat all three X-Hunters to get all three of Zero’s parts. You must do this before you beat all 8 stages, before the X-Hunter stages.

If you fail, any parts you have recovered will be stolen and the game’s ending will be different. But if you do recover all three parts, in the final stage, Zero will appear to save the day just before your battle with Sigma.

If you do NOT defeat all 3 X-Hunters before the final stages, you will have to restart the game and try again. Also, if you clear a stage with an X-Hunter but skip them, they will retreat and you will not be able to face them. Either of these things will void the trophy.

X-Hunter rooms are located in the following places:

• Wire Sponge – When you reach the automatic elevators, let them pass you and go DOWN the room carefully clinging to the wall. The room is on the bottom right.
• Wheel Gator – On a climbing elevator just before the final stretch, the elevator can climb higher than the platform you’re supposed to exit on, is surrounded by spikes on either side as well as the ceiling. The door is on the right at the top, just prior to instant death.
• Bubble Crab – As you are underwater and chase the Sea Canthller. At the very end of this area, before escaping through the door, dash jump left and proceed upwards to a dock like area where the X-Hunter room is.
• Flame Stag – Once you get past the volcano, you’ll cross a lava field and climb another wall with a 2nd Beetron. Carefully guide it above the opening to a breakable wall. Enter here and climb to the X-Hunter room. If you’re not careful, and the Beetron destroys the lower breakable wall or flies through the opening, you’ll lose your shot on this attempt until you die or restart the stage.
• Morph Moth – Shortly after the Old Robot, you’ll go down a ladder. Almost immediately you’ll see an opening on the right. The door is over there.
• Magna Centipede – There is a large room where pictures of X is on screens and blocks fall from the ceiling constantly. Rapid dash to the other end to reach the door before the falling blocks impede your path.
• Crystal Snail – After getting the Ride Armor, keep working your way deeper into the stage. You’ll see a series of breakable blocks up top, above a mezzanine. Take the Ride Armor to the right, dash jump and hover over to the mezzanine. Then dash jump up and break those bricks. Finally, get the Ride Armor in that room and jump to within reach of a dash jump to the rising platforms. Climb these to the door.
• Overdrive Ostrich – Right at the beginning of the stage, use the Spin Wheel to break through the rock wall on the right. The door is beyond there.
