Getting the Drill Arm
Get the Heavy Gear from the box to the right of the SulfurBottom when you head to Bluecher It is directly in front of the door to the right You also need the Blunted Drill from the pottery barrels to the right of the building next to the ruin with the first key
Drill Arm in combat
Use your Drill Arm on Bosses such as the three jellyfish or Bola and Claymore A fully powered up drill can destroy them in seconds and works against any enemy that you can reach at point blank range It also destroys tough normal enemies with one hit and uses little to no power It is also incredibly cheap to upgrade
Lifter Arm in combat
The Lifter Arm is an extremely useful weapon if used correctly If you are weak pick up an enemy the larger the better as the enemy weight and size determines the damage given such as a Shielder and throw it into any enemy of equal or lesser size It will kill them both on contact Also if you throw a Shielder into a second Sheilder when they explode they will drop a lot of Healing Blocks and some Zenny If you throw a Sheilder at a group of smaller enemies such as a few of Frog robots the Sheilder will kill every Reaverbot that it comes in contact with This makes it a useful way to clear out rooms especially under hard or very hard difficulty settings

Saving Data
At the start of the game when you have to save Data in the fire allow the fire to hit you until your life gauge turns red Roll will turn on the sprinklers and you will not have to do any work
Defeating Bosses
For any Boss a good strategy is to equip a special weapon that you can run with while shooting such as the Machine Buster If possible take a Hyper Cartridge Run around them using the sideways run turning to adjust your path every once in a while Along with jumping you should be able to avoid most of the attacks Shoot the special weapon to wear them down and use your Buster to finish them off Note If you have the Laser it is much more useful than any other weapon Note If you are fighting Sera wait until it is in the second form to use the special weapon
Defeating Jellyfish
In the ruin in which you acquire the second key take Drill Arm with you If you are having trouble with the Jellyfish get close to them A full Drill Attack should kill one Do this on all three of them If done correctly without any setbacks you should defeat them You can also use the Drill Arm on You should be able to defeat him easily if you use the Drill Arm correctly

Shark tactic
Lock onto an enemy by holding R2 or whatever is configured and hold Square fire or Triangle special weapon while holding either Left or Right This works best on Bosses most of their attacks will soar past If you see a homing projectile soaring your way roll andor jump and then continue to perform the quotShark tacticquot It is recommended that the special weapon quotHoming Missilequot or quotShining Laserquot be ysed when fighting a Boss Every now and then a Boss may bypass this trick and fire directly in front of you for example during Tron Bonnes first attempt Crab Bot Note This tactic does not work on Crab Bot when she is performing her quotMachine Gun Sprayquot attack when she spins and keeps firing Also it will not work on Sara in either form

Mega Man can turn black by killing the two running yellow animals in Yoshyokne Town at the location with the broken train station and the house at the beginning of the game outside the city Mega Man cannot aim at themm but his shots can hit them They can be killed with a couple dozen of shots
On Nino Island in Danger Room 2 shoot the cannons until they explode People will be lying on the ground Pick them up by pressing Triangle and throw them off the edge Do the same to the person who does not have a cannon that says quotHotquot
Cure Black Mega Man
People will not like Mega Man as much when he is affected by his dark armor gained by going bad things To fix this go to the church on the first island explored Ask the priest to give a donation and offer a large amount of Zenny If it is large enough he will bless Mega Man and his darkness will be gone

Cut down trees
After the train event in Yokeshstone go to where the explosion is located Look for trees Equip the Drill Arm and hit the tree It will either blow up or fall down
Energy level
Do not panic when you have about three hits left on your life bar No matter how low you are until your energy bar is flashing red you are good to go As long as you have even less than half an energy quotclickquot left in your life gauge you still have two hits and not one This should prove helpful during long levels and Bosses
