00: Introduction to the Guide
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello. I'm Marshall. I made this guide. By myself, I add. With help from a few
people on the Forums. I can't remember who it was that answered my question
about a Danger Room Mission (the one where you have the danger bar, or
whatever it is), but I really want to thank you. This is my first guide, so go
easy on me. I started this back when I first got this game (a week or so after
it came out) because there weren't any guides (or at least any walkthroughs).
So, here we go!
Well, one last stop beforehand. I originally posted this to Gamefaqs, and
recieved email from people saying they got it from cheatcc. I don't necessarily
have a problem with this, but they still didn't ask. Neoseeker at least asked
me if they could use it. So, to all you websites out there, ask me first, I'll
gladly accept; but it's all about the asking!
Therefore:
Accepted sites:
Gamefaqs.com
Neoseeker.com
Cheatcc.com
Ign.com
SPOnG.com
Gamerhelp.com
Supercheats.com
1up.com
If anyone finds my guide somewhere else (and it's not a linked file over to
Gamefaqs or something like that), please let me know. It'd be greatly
appreciated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01: Character Screen
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the Left Analog Stick to highlight a character, then O to select them.
First Page: Stats screen
Use Up/Down to highlight stats & AI parameters.
Use X to add stats or change parameters
Use Square to subtract points from stats
Use O to have the game decide for you, based on the character, how the stats
available to you should be spent.
Strike: Strength. Combines with your level to increase attack rating
Attack rating = 1 per level + 1 per Strike
Agility: Defense. Combines with level to increase defense rating
Defense rating = 1 per level + 1 per Agility
Body: HP. Combines with you level to increase health
HP = 25 + 5 per level + 10 per Body
Focus: MP. Combines with your level to increase energy & energy regeneration
EP = 30 + 4 per level + 7 per Focus
AI Level: determines how the character reacts when you're not controlling them.
Normal- Attack when opportunity arises. Balanced character.
Aggressive- Immediately attack your target. Attack character.
Defensive- Stay away from enemies, only attack when attacked. Mental attack
characters
AI Heal: determined if and when the character will use health packs for an
AI teammate
Never, less than 20% health, less than 40% health, less than 80% health
AI Power: when this character isn't being controlled, hit L2 to use this power.
Second Page: Skills screen
Use Up/Down to highlight skills
Use X to add points to skills
Use Square to subtract points from skills
Use O to have the game decide for you, based on the character, how the points
available to you for skills should be spent.
Note: only those skills in white can be added to. To add to those in blue
you'll need to level up to the required level.
Third Page: Equipment
Each character can have three items: A Backpack (top icon), A Belt (middle
icon) and a piece of Armor (bottom icon). These you'll either find along the
levels, or you can buy them from Forge once you start mission 2.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02: The Walkthrough
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission 1 - New York:
Objectives:
Find Blob
Find Blob's trail and track him down
Defeat Mystique
Defeat Mystique to get to Blob
Defeat Blob
Defeat Blob to rescue Allison
Get to the X-Jet
Make your way through the rooftops to the X-Jet
You start as Wolverine. It's mostly linear, just follow the yellow question
marks along, kicking ass all the while as you get used to the game's controls.
Tip #1: Use R3 to toggle and resize the world map.
Tip #2: Breaking stuff can net you items.
The "breakable items" include: trach cans, potted plants, benches, pillars,
all sorts of stuff. If you get a break from the action, try busting anything
around you; you might be surprised.
Follow the linear path downstairs into a lava-filled subway area. Exit back to
the street.
Tip #3: Use Square to pick up items, then Square again or X to throw the item
in the direction you're facing. Large objects require the "Might" ability.
(Then again, if you don't have Might, just break it. That simple.
Tip #4: Use Triangle to jump. Follow it with O while you're in the air for an
aerial attack that'll get you a little farther than a regular jump, as well
as damage whoever you land on.
Tip #5: Use L1 to use a Health Pack (red) and R1 to use an Energy Pack (blue)
Yay! those big-ass footprints could be none other. Looks like you completed
the first part of your first objective. Also, off to the left (if the red
arrow is the top) are a Health Pack and Energy Pack). Head up into the next
area, West Manhattan.
Damn Brotherhood bastard. Anyways, follow thw footsteps and you'll see the
steps leading down.
Tip #6: Use Square near an enemy to throw them; use the Left Analog Stick to
control your throw somewhat. Throw enemies into other enemies, walls,
destructible objects, off buildings, you get the point. It's fun!
Go through the atrium area, but stop at the "exit", off to the left are
some destructibles with a prize inside! Basic Nanofiber Armor. Go ahead and
follow the steps into Central Park.
What a dirty trick! But they kind of gave it away.... Anyways, new objective!
Tip #7: Hold R2 to bring up your powers screen. Press the button relative to
the power (X for bottom one, Square for right one, Triangle for left one,
O for top one) to activate those powers
Across the bridge for another Brotherhood encounter. Up the steps to follow
along. Keep going past the arch to find more Health & Energy packs. There
are stairs next to the arch, go up them to continue.
Tip #8: Ususally there are multiple ways to get around an obstacle. But in
this case... HULK SMASH!
Tip #9: Use your powers to effect the environment. In this case, you don't
have Iceman, so I'm not sure why they threw this in here.
Just bust the fire hydrant to go on.
Tip #10: The big blue Xs are Extraction Points (a big word for Save Points).
Once you get to mission 2, they can be used to swap teammates and buy items.
Uh-oh, who's that on top of the arch?
Mini-boss: Mystique, 3 goons at a time
Objective complete, continue on to East Manhattan.
Yay! a teammate! You now have Cyclops on your team. Keep following Blob's
footprints, killing more goons along the way.
Tip #11: To switch to a teammate, press the directional pad in the
direction of the teammate in you HUD (i.e.: when Cyclops joins, press Left
to control him and have Wolverine on AI).
Tip #12: If you find your allies doing retarded AI stuff, press L2 and they'll
stop what they're doing and come right over to you.
Tip #13: Press L2 during combat to have your allies perform the move specified
under "AI Power" on their stats screen.
Looks like the level might be coming to a close! Oh no!
New objective,
Boss: Blob
Strategy: Not too hard, just keep using Cyclops' Optic Beam move with L2 and
either hit, combo, or Brutal Slash with Wolverine.
In the rubble lying just down the alleyway past Blob, there's a Basic Power
Enhancer. Exit to the East Rooftops
Just keep going through the rooftops until... oooh... new goon. Watch out!
He can blast you with green stuff! But now, you can throw people off buildings,
and into either Cyclops for a combo, or into Allison. Once you enter the
building, pick up the comic book (they give you bonuses once you look at them
in the mansion. Also in this little area is a Basic Weakness Analyzer. Keep
going along, killing the baddies as you see fit. Exit over to the North
Rooftops.
Just keep going, until you get to an area with wooden planking going to it,
a staircase going up and wooden planking leading off to another building. The
other building has a green guy straight ahead with a Health Pack and an
Energy Pack; off to the side there's another area with Health and Energy
Packs. Now go up the stairs, collecting the Danger Room disc. Just keep going,
and you'll reach the X-Jet.
Mission Complete!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Intermission - The Mansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Objectives:
Explore the Subbasement
Finish the subbasement tour before starting the next mission
Start new Mission
Go to the War Room to start the next mission
Explore the X-Mansion
Explore the masion to meet various X-Men
Contact Forge
Use the console in the War Room to talk to Forge
Now you get to control Allison (Magma). You can have Jean show you around the
mansion, have Prof. X take you to the underground area, or explore on your
own. I prefer to take the tour with Jean, for the conversation, then Prof. X's
tour of the underground (again, for the conversation), then explore on my own.
You learn a lot about the X-Men, and the dialog in Cyclops' room is kinda
funny.
Tip #14: Explore the mansion.
Tip #15: Use Square to open doors and use objects
Things to do:
Study - View X-Men bios:           All the characters you've met so far are
available to see here.

give your characters.

War Room - Use War Room Comp.:     Start a Mission (objective).
Danger Room - Danger Room Console: Train using the Danger Room programs.
near Xtraction point - Elevator:   (if you don't know what an elevator does...)
Brig - Review Enemy Bios:          Much like "review X-Men bios", only for
the bosses.
Once you're done chumming around with Prof. X, tell him you're done with the
subbasement tour to get on with it. New objectives! Now's about time to break
out the ol' X-cyclopedia Britannica for the trivia game (though if you've been
following the X-Men for a decent amount of time, you should be able to breeze
through it without my spoiler section) and test yourself in the Danger Room.
Spoilers ahoy! Spoilers ahoy! Read not ahead if ye wish to learn on yer own!
(or search for ***END*SPOILERS*** and it'll skip past it)
Trivia Time! 50 total questions, which the game throws at you in no

Now that you've got experience, try out the Danger Room.
Danger Room

Senior
X-Man
Legend
Obviously, if this is when you first get to the Danger Room, only "Freshman"
will be highlighted. Also, the courses with an asterisk (*) are ones you get
through the Danger Room Discs you find through the course of the game. Also,
when you kill an enemy in the Danger room, you still get EXP. Hell, I went
from level 1 with Magma to level 6, just through the Danger Room & Trivia.

Mission 2 - HAARP Facility, Alaska:
Characters available: Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Iceman, Rogue
Objectives:
Shutdown Surveillance System
Shutdown the outer perimeter transformers that power the surveillance system
(five total)
Destroy tank defenses.
Destroy the tank to access the inner grounds
Find Door.
Find the transformers that power the exterior HAARP door and blast them to
gain entrance to the facility (six total)
Investigate the Brotherhood's activities
Find and confront the Brotherhood
Find Mystique or Toad
Attempt to discover the Brotherhood's evil plan
Fight Toad
Defeat Toad before he escapes
Okay, you get to choose 4 of you 6 characters to use, but don't worry, you can
always lug yourself back to the extraction point if you find yourself needing
someone else's powers.
There's a path leading off from the X-Jet (use the map to see it); follow
that along until you get to
Tip #16: Characters' powers can affect the environment in different ways.
Experiment when you see a blue marker.
You might see the blue X marker in the background of the tip marker. There are
a few ways to use this: Fly, using Rogue/Storm/Jean Grey, or use Iceman's
Freeze Blast to make a bridge. Or you could just take the long way around...
Now, keep going along, and you'll see a scene. HAARP people set fire to
some helpless branches. You'll need to set them straight! Use Storm's
Whirlwind or Iceman's Freeze Blast to take care of it, then kick the
crap out of the HAARP jackasses behind it. Keep going past to find the
first of five transformers (more than meets the eye!... oh, wait, not those
Transformers?) and do what you need to to blow it up. Now, keep going along
the path to find the next transformer. A little further along is the next
area, The Bridge.
Choices, choices. You can go up the path, or over the ice mound w/tractor.
If you go up the path, you'll eventually come to another transformer. One
enemy here dropped Black Tom's Cane, a Unique Backpack. There's also a
mound in the middle of the map that houses a fourth transformer. Slip
under the bridge to pop the last transformer, and get a new objective.
Now head up and cross the bridge.
Mini-boss: Tank, three goons at a time
Finish off the tank and enter the Outer Grounds.
New objective, just like the old objective, just more to do. Just follow along,
looking for the yellow dots. Once you get to the bridge, uh-oh! Looks like
you'll need to find another way out there. If you use Storm, Rogue, or Jean
Grey, fly up to the train tracks and onto the top of the train car over the
ravine. There's a skill point up there. Also from that vantage point, you
should be able to see you land-bound characters' way of crossing; there's a
metal, uh, something spanning the gap. Over in the little alcove area, look!
It's another transformer! And across the pathway is #3. Exit out to the Inner
Grounds.
Off to the left of the path, there's a hut; you can walk on to the top of it
(or fly) and above that is another transformer. Keep going along on this ridge
to #5. Hop down to the road, and on top of the first big building you come to,
there's a Danger Room Disc. Keep going on that top area to get to the last
transformer. Now, once you hop back down on the road, there's a cutscene, then:
Mini-boss: Tank, Goons, Flamethrower Goons
After you bust down the tank, enter the HAARP Facility.
Just wander around, go through the door, but then.... What's this? A green
barrier? Cyclops' Optic Blast can't penetrate it, but Storm sure can blast that
bastard with Lightning Strike. Afterwards, head through the door to your right.
Then, use Rogue to bust the crap out of the walls (it just looks so cool).
There's a few guys on the other side (in a "ambush", though they're in plain
sight), so take them out (note that the one with the green around him is
physical resistant, so blast him with Cyclops and Storm). Keep going through
the walls, and in to their "game room". Oooh, a pool table. Special. Keep
going on into the next warehouse-like area. There's another one of those
physical-resistant guys in there, but he drops a keycard. Sounds necessary.
Head back to the red arrow on the map, and into the Mess Hall.
Yeah! Break the walls down! Lots of baddies to fight and walls and assorted
objects to break. As you're going down the first hall, after the door leading
to the next room is a door to the left. Inside is a Danger Room Disc.
Eventually, you'll come to another green barrier. Again, there's a loop around
it. After the barrier, the wall explodes and another green, physical resistant
guy is there. Hmmm... the door doesn't open. Must be able to come back later.
Anyways, follow the path along to the red arrow to Systems Operations.
Ooh, looks kind of dangerous, down that catwalk, don't it? Just cross over, and
a physical-resistant guy awaits. He fled into the next room for me, so it was
him and a room-full of guys vs. me and my three. I don't think I need to tell
you who won. Also, everything in the computer room can be busted by Rogue! Just
keep to the path, and into an open room, with another physical-resist guy in a
recessed area. Follow the path along the side into another room. Once again,
just keep following that path they lay out for you. You'll eventually get to
another door to yet another area: Satellite Control Center.
****Iceman Comic****
Well, judging from the loading screen, I'm guessing there's a boss ahead,
probably Pyro. No, they couldn't be that bold. Well, if the load screen wasn't
a giveaway, the Xtraction point sure is. Cutscene, then:
Mid-boss: Pyro & Flame Demons
Well, one objective down, but another damn one pops up. Well, keep going along,
now. As far as I can tell, you can't put out the fire off in the corner (tried
Storm & Iceman, but nothing). You'll find a new type of henchman that's energy
resistant. Ooh. A Well-tossed explosive object to the head still works fine,
though. Keep going, and you'll get to an area with an elevator; off in the
corner is a green box with a Comic Book in it. Hop on the elevator to go to the
Main Tunnels.
Use the Xtraction point, and follow the tunnels along, as usual. You'll need
Iceman for the next area. He's needed for a bridge. Afterwards, just keep
following the path, killing anything that moves. Fight off the Brotherhood
Usurper (physical resist... damn, don't they get tired of these?). Pick up
another Danger Room Disc in the room beyong the Usurper. And once again, down
the elevator, this time to the Exterior Access Tunnels.
Boy, don't this sound repetitive? Keep following the path, stupid. At the end
of the path, it curves to the right, with a few Brotherhood Goons (yay! all
physical resistant!). After mercilessly killing their sorry asses, there's a
Sketchbook on the ground. Then, we've all seen this before. Whip out Iceman to
magic up a bridge across the chasm. Ooh, more goons. And...that's funny....
Usually the Xtraction point is at the base of the elevator.... Unless.... Use
the VTOL pad.
Boss: Toad

off to the right will be asmall alley. Inside is a Danger Room Disc. Follow
the street past the XTraction Point to Eighth Ave. Two more Sentinels. Head
off to Ninth Ave. From where you start, head down the alley, but when you
come to a T, go off to the side. 1 Sentinel down. Go back to the T and head
up. 3 Sentinels down. Keep heading down the only way not blocked by police.
Hey, isn't that nice? The police will actually fire on the Sentinels for
you. Well, all 5 Sentinels are down now, so the only thing left is to hit
that red arrow to Tenth Ave. 8 total Sentinels here, just explore the map
****Nightcrawler Comic****
and they show up like flies. Then back to the mansion

Mission 3 - Old Sewers, New York City:
Characters available: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Wolverine, Iceman, Rogue,
Beast, Nightcrawler, Jubilee
Objectives:
Rescue Gambit.
Rescue Gambit from the Morlocks.
Shut off water flow from the reservoir.
Find a way to shut off the water flow.
Find Healer.
Locate Healer and talk to him.
Find Marrow.
Locate Marrow and talk to her.
Now you've got a lot of characters to choose from, but, as always, you can
swap them at an XTraction Point. Let's see... XTraction Point, door, gated
area... where to go? Well, at least the Morlock Brutes are only Physical
Resistant, as opposed to those damn Brotherhood Goons. Keep going around
until you get to the yellow X. Use Storm's Lightning on it, then continue
on. Head over to the red arrow to go to the Mainline Reservoir.
Loop around the first area, into the hallway; it doesn't matter which way you
go, they both end up in the same spot. Guess what? Just keep going along into
the next area. From here you can head off to the East Trunk Line or the
West Trunk Line. I'll do West first
If you go left from the start point, you'll find a Danger Room Disc. Head
back to the start point and go left again (straight if you didn't pick up
the Danger Room Disc). Both exits from this room lead to the same place. In
this next room, you're trying to head across the sewer ditch, into the next
area. Through there is another tunnel, and, amazingly, where the yellow X
is, is where your target's at! Target 1 of 2. Head bak to the Mainline
Reservoir and take the East Trunk Line.
Across where the first yellow X is located, is a Comic Book. Just follow
the path and you'll eventually get to a Morlock Giant (physical resistant).
Again, just keep following the path around to fight more Morlocks and get
closer to your goal. In the are just before you get to the other yellow X,
go off to you right to get another Sketchbook. Shut down the second pump,
and head back to the Mainline Reservoir. Head down into the previously-
inaccessible central area and into the Morlock Haven.
Well, not much to do here. You can run around the outer ring, talking to the
Morlocks, or head to the inner area to find Healer & Marrow. Healer will now
sell you Health & Energy Packs, Danger Room Discs, and give you a chance at his
Grab Bag for a random item. Well, talking to Marrow really didn't go anywere.
At least you can exit out of the area now, through the other red arrow, to
Mainline North.
Follow around, follow around, follow around. If you feel like saving, head over
to the XTraction Point, otherwise, head up to the T and take a left to get a
Sketchbook inside. Loop around to where the other fork from the T would have
taken you, and go through the door. This big room is a long L shape. at the end
is the entrance to the Filtration Reservoir.
Keep going down the hallway, and on to a catwalk. Down a ways are two platforms
with Morlock Goths on them; one platform has a Danger Room Disc on it. Be
careful getting over there though, since falling in the muck will kill you.
After the catwalk is another two-way split that leads to the same spot: an
XTraction Point and a red arrow. Head off to 22nd St. Steam Works.
Looks like a nice litle arena setup here... don't it?
Boss: Marrow
Yay! A new character! But no intermission....
Mission 4 - U.s.s. Arbiter:
Characters available: Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Wolverine, Iceman, Rogue,
Beast, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, Gambit
Objectives:
Stop the Brotherhood.
Prevent the Brotherhood from destroying the U.S.S. Arbiter.
Disable the Sentinel Launch Tubes.
Destroy the Sentinel Launch Tubes to disable the security force field (four
total).
Get to the lower decks.
Enter the interior of the ship.
Repair the hull breaches.
To give yourself more time, repair the breaches.
Save crewmen.
Save the friendly crewmen before the Arbiter sinks.
You should see the first Sentinel Launch Tube ahead of you. take it out, along
with any resistance you find. If you need 3 of each Pack, head down the stairs
to the left, on the side of the ship the first Tube was on. Afterwards, head up
the other set of stairs. The next Tube is on the other side of the ship. Head
up that side to the next area, with the last two Tubes. Head around the other
side of the ship to the Aft Flight Deck.
You know the routine, fight, fight, save. Head up the steps.
Mid-boss: Sentinel Controller
Afterwards, there's nothing else you can do on the deck of the ship, so head up
the steps towards to yellow X. Use the crane controls and head back to the
deck. Have someone fly up and beat on the yellow sub-thing. You're dropped into
the Hangar Lift.
Just keep killing the stupid enemies that keep coming for you, and eventually
head up to the staircase labeled "D-34". Fight a few more enemies, then head to
the Aft Hatchways.
Looks like the Brotherhood already mopped the floor with these guys. Blow up
the little box marked with the red arrow/yellow X to stop those damned
Sentinels from popping up (or leave it going 'til you've leveled up). Keep
going past where the Sentinels were and head up the stairs and across the
catwalk. Kill off the group of enemies, then the little generator-looking thing
with the blue arrow. Head through the door and around the corners to a
stationary gun. Blow it up, then around the corner again are more guys, kill
them and use the control panel to drop the blue forcefields. Head to the red
arrow to the Starboard Launch Bays.
There's an XTraction Point just inside. Go on and use it, since you don't know
what's around the corner. Oh wait, you're reading this guide, so you can just
read down to see what's around the corner. Sentinels! Yay! Just head up the
stairs and on to the next part. Hey, what's that? That thing emitting those
blue waves? Well, it didn't stick around too long for me to find out, that's
for damn sure. Further along, more Sentinels! Keep along, and you'll come to a
bunch of connected rooms. Most of the walls here are breakable, so go to town,
and find the Sketchbook in the corner of one of the rooms. The red arrow leads
to the Fore Launch Bays.
Oh goody, more Sentinels. At this point, I'm pretty sure you know what you're
doing, wither milking them for EXP or just blasting the little control box and
blowing by them. Now, keep going on, and you'll eventually get to an auto-gun
with a blue barrier in front of it. Why, I don't know. How to deactivate the
barrier, I don't know either. Just go around, and blow up the gun. What's funny
is that the barrier stops the gun's bullets, just like it would stop you or
your powers. Hmmm.... You'll eventually see the makings of yet another
Sentinel-spout. Afterwards, keep on going. Wow, the last yellow X ISN'T
Sentinels. It leads to the Brig.
I'm going to suggest your team from here: Storm and Iceman are a must. Well,
either Storm or Cyclops, but Storm's easier to use. Now that you've got some
new objectives, let me let you in on a little secret: use Cyclops or Storm to
seal the cracks in the hull. Those powers they have that say "Can weld"?
They're for use here (and in the X-Man level graduation course). Also, you get
to rescue the crewmen. Just talk to them, then head over to the yellow X that
marks the lifeboats. In the area with the second crewman, there's a comic book.
Once you've rescued the two crewmen and sealed the three cracks, proceed
through the red arrow to the Infirmary.
2 more crewmen, 2 more cracks. There are a few control panels to operate, but
you can see those through the map. Look at the map. It is a very useful tool.
Pretty much just navigation through the map can work, though you'll still need
to lay the smack down on whoever gets in your way. Oh, and btw, there's also
another lifeboat exit here, just past the first crewman (use Iceman to build a
bridge to him, then Storm/Cyclops to weld the two cracks). On to the Galley.
Oooh... lots of yellow dots. Well, on to the first one. But before that, just
after the first forcefield is a door with a forcefield; to get inside, go
around the side to a catwalk over the water. At the end is a cracked wall you
can use to get inside and get at the Sketchbook. Use Iceman to build a bridge
to the next area, and Storm to fly over to the crack. Keep going on until
you've rescued the two more crewmembers. Proceed to the Maintenance Division.
And some more people to save. There's a spot where you'll need to use Iceman to
make a bridge, and have Storm/Cyclops blast the cracks. And always you have to
take the long way! Damn! Well, at least no boss. Once you save the last
crewman, you get a CG sequence with... mmm... mutie booty. I just keep thinking
of Rebecca Romijn when I see Mystique.... Ahem, what was I saying? Oh yes...
the intermission....

Intermission - The Mansion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Objectives:
Locate Storm & Wolverine.
They're somewhere in the subbasement. Talk to them.
Explore the mansion.
Uh, duh! Do I really need to spell this out for you?
Defeat Mystique
Defeat Mystique to get to Blob.
Defeat Blob
Find Blob's trail to track him down.
Meet in War Room.
Meet at the War Room to start the next mission.
Find wolverine and talk to him.
Duh.
No one to talk to on the top floor, but you can check out your newest artwork
in Colossus' room. Go down to the ground floor. You can have a chat with
Nightcrawler, head on over to the library to boost up the characters with
whatever comics you got, have a chat with Iceman in the dining room. Talk with
Jubilee in the living room. You can't go to the Front Lawn or Estate Grounds,
so head downstairs to the Subbasement. Chat with Beast, then Jean Grey at
Cerebro, then head to the Danger Room to chat with Storm and Wolverine.
Well, your new objectives sound a lot like the first level.... And you already
know about the first level, so I'm not gonna give you another walkthrough. Just
read the same stuff from above, without all the breaks for the tips. Okay, so
there's different enemies here, and different items. Also, in the area after
Pyro, all the way at the end of the path is a Comic Book. Just past there is a
Sketch Book, hiding under some fencing, just before the pipe you have to break
into.
And now you get to use Magma in field missions! Now, if you were following me
correctly, you should have another Comic and Sketch Book. Head to their
respective places to check 'em out. Anyone you talked to before has something
new to say about you becoming an X-Man (or -Woman, for that matter).
Wolverine's in the X-Jet Hangar, and he lets you go through the Weapon-X
Flashback.
*****
Sidequest - Weapon-X Flashback
Objectives:
Catch the director.
Find the director of the Weapon X project.
You start in the tank. Bust out. It's still really just a one-way area, not
really any side-spots. Just keep going until to get to a red arrow for Lab
Support. Just keep on going through to Fission Gate. Along the way there's a
Danger Room Disc for Survival 302, in case you haven't picked it up yet from
Healer. As you get to the next XTraction Point, the camera pans around, showing
you the various things in the room. You'll need to head to the left, jump over
the green stuff and use the control panel to deactivate the Automated Defense
Control. Head back to where you came, and go past, over another river of green
stuff, and down the next stairs. Now, brave the flamethrowers (or just time it
right), note the last one can be a bastard. Now, head down to the top of the
last staircase before you get to the center. Wait until the big thing blasts
it's greeny goodness into the center, then rush around the side of the center
and up the staircase at the end. Then, more flamethrowers and green goo-
hurdling, and finally... the Director!
Sidequest finished

Now, so long as you have nothing else to do, head to the War Room to start the
