Heh, I figured since this is going to be the biggest part of my guide, I might
as well make the header as awesome as humanly possible. Anyways, I suppose that
I should add a few preface notes. Well, this guide was started by playing the
Japanese version of the game and then slowly updated to better fit the English
versions (the English versions being the NA and EU releases. They differ from
the Japanese one a good bit but not from each other at all, save for the title
screen). As such, this guide could be used with any version, I hope, and
regional differences should be clearly marked. Also I'm sure that there a quite
a few inconsistancies in this, namely in chip names and such. That's because it
literally hurts my my brain to type out the condensed names so I just expand it
out off the top of my head, sometimes with the spaces, sometimes without. Of
course that shouldn't matter too much; I'm sure you get the idea. Well I think
that covers about everything. Let's go on to the rest of the guide.
+=============================================================================+
+ Nebula's Reprisal                                                    1ANARL +
+=============================================================================+
Oh dear. It seems that our hero starts this game asleep, as always. Megaman, of
course, is forced to wake him up, pestering him about homework and what-not.
Lan eventually gets up and is just about ready for some morning internet
surfing when his mom calls him down. Now you get control over him. Also you've
just gotten some mail. It's apparently from Netbattler institute or something.
The three things that it teaches you about are jacking in, changing your
folder and subchips. But enough reading let's get on with the game.
Head downstairs and talk to your mom, Haruka. She has a bit of an errand for
you to do. You've got to deliver this stew recipe over to the Navi of a friend
of her down in ACDC 2. So go back to your room and jack in to your computer
via the R button.
BUT WAIT! Somehow a few Mets have managed to sneak in. Time for some warm-up
busting as they put it, also known as a tutorial battle.
Battle 1
========
You're up against two Mettaurs or however you spell it. Lan runs you through
some basics like where chips show up, their damage, and enemy HP. Simply select
two Cannons and hit OK. Then they go ahead and talk about the Mega Buster,
Megaman's HP, where the chips show up, and the custom bar. Each Met easily dies
after one Cannon shot so just don't miss.
Battle 2
========
Oooo, three Mets this time. How intimidating. As in the previous games, they'll
talk about not all chips just attack, blah, blah, blah, you can use Area Grab
and Wide Sword since they're in the same code, blah, blah blah. I think you
know the drill. So select the Area Steal and Wide Sword in that order and hit
OK. Use the Area Steal and move to the rightmost column and launch your Wide
Sword attack. Then take down the last Met with your buster or enter the Custom
Screen again.
Battle 3
========
Last battle, three Mets. Megaman will now teach you about countering, Full
Synchro, and the emotion window. The gist of it is that if you get hit a lot,
then Megaman's emotion window will show up anxious. If you operate well and get
some counter hits, he'll go into Full Synchro. In Full Synchro your chips will
do double the damage. You'll start off with Full Synchro so just select the Air
Shots and a Cannon. Hit the Mets when their pickaxes are just pulled back to
counter it. Just sustain your Full Synchro each shot and it'll be over fast.
Now that that mess is all cleaned up it's time to head off to the internet.
Upon entering ACDC 1 follow the large green road a little ways and get the
BMD on the second left square area. It contains the subchip Mini Energy. A bit
further there's a Navi to the right of the road that sells subchips. I might as
well put one of these up:
ACDC 1 Subchip Dealer
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MiniEnergy                100z
SneakRun                  300z
Unlocker                 4000z
Just ahead is Roll spouts some insanity I think is about her just wandering
net for fun or something. Just keep following the green road until you get to
the next area. Of course there is another BMD on a branch on the right side of
the path that contains 800 zenny.
Once in ACDC 2 continue following the road. You'll probably want to get the
BMD off to the left containing Copy Damage on your way. There will be a big
square where Glide and Gutsman will be loitering. Go to the right and follow
the straight to get right to the Kitchen Comp, where you want to be. Right
before that you can drop in on a net dealer:
ACDC 2 Chip Dealer
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HP Memory                1000z
HP Memory                3200z
HP Memory                5000z
Vulcan 1 C                500z
Spreader *               3200z
HiCannon E               5000z
LongSword C              6000z
CustomSword E            6800z
Right now on to the Kitchen area. Simply go on to the center and talk to the
pink Navi there. Megaman will fork over the recipe and the Navi will leave.
Then you'll get some mail. Papa's got something you'll want to see at the lab
and he wants you to bring everyone. You'll promptly jack out. Now that you're
back to reality, go downstairs and talk to your mom. Then leave the house and
talk to Mayl, Yai, and Dex. Also there's a scientist that peddles subchips
near Yai's place:
ACDC Subchip Dealer
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MiniEnergy                100z
Untrap                    500z
LockEnemy                6000z
Furthermore, you can jack into the doghouse next to your house and nab a BMD on
the right corner containing a RegUP2. Anyways, once you've talked to those
people, head towards the entrance of the metroline. After 30 minutes everyone
shows up and you all go to get whisked off into the metroline. And there you
are in front of Scilab. Bah, there's a subchip dealer here, too, somewhere just
a bit off to the side:
Scilab Subchip Dealer
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
FullEnergy               1000z
Unlocker                 4000z
LockEnemy                6000z
Head up the the front gate and a cut scene will trigger where everyone heads on
in. Following that, the screen ominously pans back down to the street, where an
ominous car waits, with an ominous voice saying, "It's time. Commence
operation." Ominous, eh? Now you're inside that crazy looking building.
Actually you might want to go out and jack into the top chip motif, as they
call it. There's an HP Memory smack dab in the middle of it. And you can jack
into the glowing terminal off to the side and grab the Ocean Seed * chip in the
bottom corner and a BugFrag up top. Now head all the way up the stairs to the
elevator. It's time to meet daddy.
Lan comes up happily greeting Yuichiro. Then the rest of the gang comes in.
Now what did he want to show us all, eh? Well apparently he was shuffling
through some old data when he found some program. Just as he's about to show us
it, he realizes that he left his ID card at the desk and sends Lan to go get
it. Then suddenly the alarm goes off. ONE TENTH OF THE INTERNET IS OCCUPIED BY
A STRANGE MASS OF NaviS YOU SAY?! Then it cuts off. Then a smoke bomb rolls on
it and renders everyone unconscious. Then three strange ninja-looking guys come
in. One of them ascertains the situation and tell the boss to come on in. Some
badass looking guy tell them to take Yuichiro. Then one of the ninja's asks,
"Master Regal, what do we do with the children?" Gasp! It's really Regal come
back from the dead! He instructs them to take the children's PETs; they won't
be able to do anything without them. Of course, they missed Lan's PET since
he was off the the side. Soon they leave and the scene draws to a close.
+=============================================================================+
+ Initiation                                                           1BINON +
+=============================================================================+
Lan finds himself in his bed with his mom besides him. It seems that he was
sleeping for three whole days after that incident. He then asks Mama about
Papa. He figure out for himself that Regal has taken him. Lan wants to go and
look for Yuichiro right away, but Haruka and Megaman convince him otherwise.
Instead he's willing to just do some reconnaissance at home via the internet.
What on earth is happening to the net? Well that's up to you to find out so
on over to ACDC 2 and talk to the Heel Navi over there. He'll explain that
Nebula has taken over this area of the internet and promptly attack you. He
sends two Mettaurs and a Bugtank, nothing too hard. After the battle the Navi
rambles on and eventually says that the scientist they captured has finally
waken up. He runs away behind a door that you can't seem to open. Following
this, you get some mail. Someone has entered the Scilab main system, so guess
where you have to go.
You'll be automatically jacked out so just go downstairs, talk to Haruka and
leave. Head for the metroline and talk to Mayl first. She'll give you a Roll R
chips and the P code for her security cube. So now dash off to Scilab and enter
the building. An official type guy will come dashing out of the door on the
stairs in a panic.
Go up to Yuichiro's office and grab an ID card by examining the computer.
Also you can jack into that computer and grab a RegUP2 on the right side and
at the top there's a PMD with a Bug Fix H in it. You can use it to enter the
room with the main system in it. Now go ahead and jack into that huge computer.
Now that you're in there, just follow the path until you find a program and a
bunch of numbers. Talk to the program to get started. The little puzzle
throughout this area is arranging little tiles to get the password right. These
first ones are relatively easy number puzzles. The anwer to this one is 762.
So pick up the 6, move to the middle, put the 7 where the 2 is, and put the 2
at the last spot. Great, now you can advance.
Follow the road and where there's a fork, keep going straight to get a BMD with
a Thunder Ball P in it. Also, I should mention that these entire areas are
covered with GMDs as well. However, since they can be in different places, I'll
not even mention their locations. Now go back and take the other way until you
reach the next puzzle. This time there's some actual word puzzles. In the
Japanese version the answer would be inko and in the English speaking versions
its nap. What you'll want to do is take the middle one, then take it to the
left space, put that one in right space, and finish by putting the last one
into the middle.
Go left down the path and then take a right. Next take the left path and get a
BMD with an HP Memory in it. Now backtrack and follow the other route to find
not one, but two sets of word puzzles. The riddle involves animals. You'll
end up with usagi and tanuki in the Japanese version and owl and rat in the
other versions. So take the right one on left set and put it on the left slot
of the right set. Put that one in the leftmost spot. Now put this one in the
rightmost slot. Now go to the center one of the right set, and finish by
putting it in the remaining empty spot. Now go down the left path and hit the
button there. This will open up the door that was behind the right puzzle. Now
go down that path and you'll be at Main System 2.
Ah, after just a short walk, we've already reached the next puzzle. Again it
has two sides to it and each side has four characters. The Japanese answers are
Cannon and Minibomb. The English answers are dock and hall. So start off by
taking leftmost character. Put it in the second left slot of the right set.
Then put that one in the further left slot of the right set. Put that one in
the second right slot of the left set. Now take that one and place it in the
rightmost slot. Finish up be placing it in the empty slot.
Now the left path is blocked by a gate so head on down the right path for now.
Flip the switch and then head back to the left path. Go to the right and you'll
find the next puzzle: 3 sets of 3 characters. You'll want to turn it into
migite, koyubi, and mabuta or hip, toe, and arm. So first take the left one on
the right set, then go the left of the left set, then to the right of the
center, after that put it on the center of the right set, put that in the
right slot of the right set, put that one in the left center slot, then go to
the center of the left set, and put the character you now have into the blank.
Now press the switches behind the left and right puzzles and continue down the
middle path.
Walk past the oneway tiles at first to get the Full Energy subchip from the BMD
at first, then ride the tiles and go straight down the path; be sure not to end
up going backwards by taking the single oneway panel to the right. The BMD on
the path has a Spreader E waiting for you. Keep on going until you find the
next puzzle. Thank god it's just numbers again. You'll need to find the memo
under the sofa in Yuichiro's office. The password on it is 53214. First move
the 2 and the 3's positions. Then take the 1 and put it where the 4 is. Place
the 4 at the 5's slot and finish by puttin the 5 in the empty slot.
Continue up the path towards the main system's control panel and a cutscene
will occur. The trespasser then shows himself. He's named Colonel and he's
looking forward to seeing your skill. Battle operation, set! Execute!
