(1) THE GAME

The latest installment of the X series offers some new surprises, the

biggest of which being the jump to the 32-bit Playstation and Saturn

systems. In X4 you can play as either X or Zero and the storyline is

different for either character, even though the stages are the same.

As X, you will get information on stages and enemies from a reploid named

"Double". As Zero, you will recieve information from a female reploid

named "Iris". X still gains special weapons when he defeats the bosses

but Zero will use a "learning system" instead. With the learning system,

Zero will gain new abilities and fighter game style attacks each time he

defeats an enemy. While the object of playing as X is to figure out what

weapon to use on each boss, with Zero you must learn which attacks and

patterns work best in defeating each enemy, much like in a fighting game.

considered as "spoilers". If you want to be suprised by the events in the

game, it's best to only read this guide when you are stuck.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) THE STORY

While in a recharging bay, Zero is haunted by a strange vision of an old

man with wild hair, a big mustache, and a lab coat. This silouette tells

Zero that he controls him and controls his life. As Zero tells the man to

stop, he suddenly clutches his head and sees flashes of a lab in ruins,

monitors showing his design schematics, robot bodies torn apart, and his

own hands with blood on them. This "dark half" of Zero's memory is

incomplete but dangerous. As Zero gets up from the floor, an alarm sounds

warning him of an invasion on Irregular Hunter Headquarters.

A dark alliance has been formed and reploids all over the world are being

enlisted to join "Repliforce". Headed by the powerful reploid called

"General", Repliforce plans to unite the Reploids of Earth in an effort to

destroy mankind.

X and Zero must rush out to stop General and the Repliforce. One of thier

former allies, named "Colonel" has joined Repliforce. Colonel was a good

friend to Zero and the older brother of "Iris", a female reploid that works

with the Irregular Hunters. Iris hates to see Zero and Colonel fighting

and, though she is helping the Irregular Hunters, she is torn between her

friendships to Zero and relation to Colonel.

X is aided by "Double" as he tries to stop the 8 main commanders of

Repliforce and find their "Final Weapon" before they can use it to destroy

the world. Though he appears to be an ally, there is something strange

about Double. Little is known of his past but he offers support for X even

though he has a habit of being a bit clumsy at times.

The world hangs in the balance as Repliforce grows in power and General

and a mysterious figure plot to destroy mankind. It's up to X and Zero to

stop Repliforce before it's too late!

(3)SPECIAL ITEMS

Life Energy Capsules: These capsules will give back life energy to your

power bar. There are three sizes: Small, which gives back a little energy

or 1 unit to an E-tank, Medium, which gives back more energy or 2 units to

an E-tank, and Large, which will refill your life power bar completely or

give 3 units to an E-tank.

Weapon Energy Orbs: These orbs are like the Life Energy Capsules only they

refill weapons. If you have a weapon selected, picking up a Weapon Energy

Orb will refill it. If the weapon is full or there is no weapon selected,

the orb will refill the weapon with the lowest energy, or add to the

W-Tank if all weapons are full.

Heart Item will add a little bit of energy to your life bar. Find all 8

Heart Items to increase your character to full strength.

will have an energy reserve that you can use if your energy gets low. To

Fill the E-tanks, collect energy capsules when your life bar is full.

W-tank: There is one W-tank in the game. The W-Tank is similar to the

E-Tanks except that it refills weapon energy instead of Life Energy.

lives instead of 2 when you continue.

Heart: Dash-Jump onto a cliff to the left when you see the falling meteor-

like rocks in area 2.

Stage: Snow Base

"He protects the secret weapon hidden in the Snow Base"

There is a lot of ice in this stage and you will slide if you aren't

careful.

at bay. Hit him and then get back. If he flies off the screen, keep

moving. If he floats back and forth, run under him when he moves up.

and head to the right. Use the web for X or double-jump for Zero to get

around the cliff and collect the 1-up.

Heart: Use the Rising Fire with X or Rising Flame Sword with Zero to break

the block in the ceiling of the first part of area 1.

EX-Tank: on the slopes above the spikes in area 1, head to the far right

wall and climb up it. Use the web for X or double-jump for Zero to get to

it.

W-Tank: Hidden in an ice block near the middle of area 2.

Jet Stingray:

"He destroyed the city and then escaped to the sea"

the platform holding the Heart.

as Zero. To get an "S" rating, you must go through the section as quickly

as possible. If you see "HURRY UP" under your character and some arrows

(b) Dr. Light Capsule Locations and Descriptions

Boots: Found behind a waterfall in Area 1 of the Jungle (Web Spidus)

stage. Press the jump button twice to use them to hover or press the dash

button in the middle of a jump to do an air-dash.

Arms: Found in Area 2 of the Space Fortress (Storm Fokuroul) stage. Shoot

the web from the right distance to barely cover the spikes that line a hole

in the ceiling right before the first door in the Area 2. There are 2

different arm upgrades but you can only use one at a time. The first

capsule (on the right) will allow you to store up 4 fully charged shots to

fire one after another. The second capsule will give you a super shot that

will leave a lingering energy orb that damages anything that touches it.

Either arm upgrade will allow you to charge up your special weapons.

Helmet: Found in area 1 of the Cyberspace (Cyber Kujacker) stage. Get an

"S" rating in the 3rd section to get to the capsule. Use the Soul Body to

Keep the yellow orbs out of the way and use the dash and dash-jump as much

as possible. The helmet will allow you to use weapons uncharged without

losing energy. Your weapons will only use up energy when you charge them.

Body: Found in Area 2 of the Volcano (Magmard Dragoon) stage. Dash-jump

from the cliff just above where you see the Riden Armor onto a ledge above

the lava. Use a fully-charged Twin Slasher shot to break the rocks. The

body armor upgrade will give you the Giga Crush attack. You can fill up the

Giga Crush power bar by either getting hurt or picking up energy or weapon

capsules.

(c) Boss Patterns

Magmard Dragoon: Use either the Riden armor or the Double Cyclone. In his

stage, you can use the Riden armor to walk through the lava. At the end of

the lava is a tunnel that you can punch through with the armor. If you've

managed to get to Magmard without taking a hit in the armor, then just keep

attacking him with the armor to defeat him. If you are using the Double

Cyclone, attack him and he'll jump to the other side of the screen. Follow

him to the other side and attack him again to make him jump to the opposite

side of the screen again. Repeat this pattern until he's dead.

Frost Kibatodos: Hit him with the Rising Fire and climb the wall that he

heads towards when he turns into a tank to avoid him. Jump off the wall

and repeat this until he starts to form the icicle in the air. Stay just

to the side of the icicle and when it falls, run to where it landed to

avoid the smaller icicles. When he advances forward, hit him with the fire

and repeat this pattern until he's dead.

Jet Stingray: When he starts to drop down from the sky, jump up directly

beneath him and fire off the Frost Tower to freeze him. He'll fly off and

drop down again. Repeat the pattern until he's dead.

Slash Beast: Hit him with the ground hunter to trip him then jump to a

wall or use the hover boots to avoid his dash attack. Repeat the pattern

until he's dead.

Web Spidus: Attack him with the Twin Slasher and jump to the walls and off

of them to get over his webs. When he spins his web on the screen and

starts moving around, just keep firing at him with the Twin Slasher and

avoiding his webs.

Split Mushroom: Stay in the center of the screen and fire a Lightning Web at

him each time he jumps onto a wall.

Cyber Kujacker: Keep moving but stay near the center of the screen and when

he appears, fire off the Soul Body so that the double hits him.

Storm Fokuroul: Use the Aiming Laser to lock onto him and fire at him when

he tries to attack.

Colonel - Mid Stage: Be sure to have the boots when you get to him. When

he disappears, jump and hover until he swings at you twice. Hit him with a

shot as he dashes to the side of the screen and then jump and hover to

avoid his shots.

Colonel - Space Port: Try and get him to appear in the center of the screen

so he'll do his lightning attack. Hover between the green tiles on the

ground to avoid the lightning and hit him with shots. Follow the same

pattern as in the mid-stage battle for the rest.

Double- Hit him with the Double Cyclone and jump and hover to avoid the big

blue balls he fires at you.

General- Hit him in the head with the Twin Slasher. There is a safe spot in

the upper-left corner that you can use to avoid taking excessive damage.

Just remember to move up and down the wall a bit to avoid the rings that he

shoots at you when his arms detach.

Bosses: See above.

Sigma:

Part 1 (Grim Reaper): Shoot Rising Fire shots up at him just as he appears

the first 2 times and then climb one of the walls to avoid him the third

time. Repeat this until his power is depleted.

Part 2 (Main Body): For the first attack, dash under him when he jumps to

avoid the sickle and hit him with the Lightning Web. On the second attack

jump to the wall to get him to hit the wall with sickle and drop down

before it hits you. Dash-jump to the wall behind him before he fires the

lasers to avoid being injured. Repeat until he's defeated.

Parts 3 and 4 (Giant Robot body and Giant Head): There are 2 parts here you

have to destroy. One is a giant robot with a gun which will appear on the

right side of the screen and the other part is a giant head that appears in

the lower-left part of the screen. The yellow, blue, and red heads will

attack every other attack. The attacks are in a sequence of 4: first the

colored heads, then the giant head in the corner, then the colored heads

again, and then the giant robot. Destroy the yellow and red heads quickly

to avoid a lot of damage and climb on the red and yellow heads when the

blue one spits water at you. Stay near the right of the screen when the

giant head appears. If it tries to blow you into the spikes, dash to stay

away from them and fire when you can. If it tries to suck you in let the

yellow head block your path and keep firing charged shots at the head to

destroy the rocks it spits. For the giant robot, stay in the upper left

corner until it appears. Fire off a shot and if it raises it gun and fires

along the ground, stay in the corner. If it fires off the strait beam,

keep jumping and firing between shots to draw it's fire up.
