Version 0.7 - September 23rd 2000
Please take note that I have made this FAQ after playing the Japanese
version (Rockman Dash 2), so I may have made some mistakes in the
translations.
Also, some elements may be different between the Japanese and American version.
Most of the important information is there, the details will mostly be added
when the American version is out. This FAQ is for the people who got the
Japanese version and those who can't wait anymore to know a little about the
game. :)
Things left to do:
- Detail the story a little more
- Where to find items and how much they cost
*** WARNING!!! MAJOR SPOILER!!! ***
Walkthrought
------------
Prologue: The story begins in the Sulphur Bottom, a giant airship commanded by
Mular, a friend of Barrel, who is notalgic about Roll's parents. Mular and
Barrel are holding a press conference about something to do with the Great
Legacy. In disguise, Tron, Tiesel, Glyde and a mysterious cyborg are there to
spy for some interesting informations. At a given moment, a mysterious reporter
ask a question, but Barrel recognize her as Roll's mother, Mathilda. Suddenly,
another reporter (the one from KTOX TV) reveals her as an imposter. After giving
a little speech and breaking a window, she gets away on a flying reaverbot.
Rock and Roll, who were watching this on TV, decide to depart to the Sulphur
Bottom to verify if whom they saw was really Roll's mother.
1- Rescue Gramps
1.1- Save Data
The action begins while Rock is flying the Flutter, while Roll is away. Data
teases him a little and goes away. When Roll takes the wheel, Data can be heard
screaming: he has accidentally started a fire in the kitchen. Your mission is to
put out the fire with the Aqua Blaster and save Data (no, I didn't ask you to
save your game :) Be careful in the living room, when you extenguish the fire
near the far left door, it will explode. Finally, get to the kitchen and clear
the area... and Data, if he gets burned. After the little action, you can see
the Sulphur Bottom being attacked by the flying reaverbot with the lady on it.
Its engine destroyed, the big ship slowly drifts into the Unknown Zone, a place
of terrible weather condition. Rock and Roll arrive at this moment and they
decide to get to the closest town to get a Dropship and rescue Gramps.
1.2- Build Dropship
Our team gets to the town of Kalinka and they must get a Dropship, it's
the only way to get in the eye of the storm and see what happened to the Sulphur
Bottom. Get to the junk store and you will meet a guy who wears some resemblance
to Roll's father (according to her). You will learn this guy named Joe has a
Dropship in his hangar near the Flutter. Get inside the hangar and you will meet
Joe's dauther and says her father went to the ruin for an energy source for the
Dropship. Get to the ruin opposite to town with Roll.
1.3- Portal 1
Goal: Find Joe and get the Refractor B
You will be on a snowy field with rabbits and reaverbots: Avoid contact
with both. Once inside the ruin, explore the rooms before going down one floor.
Guardian: Spike Giant
This boss has a weak spot, the pink spike in is butt. If you get
close enough, he won't have the time to move at all.
1.4- Enter the Unknown
Goal: Get to the eye of the storm
Once the refractor in your possession, get the the Flutter and get to
the Unknown area on the map. You will be dropped inside the storm. You will meet
some new reaverbots and a mid-boss that looks like a wolf, nothing to worry
about. You will also encounter a Dropship with a sleeping girl inside.
Guardian: Giant Mammoth
Classic battle, run around and shoot. Be careful of its shockwave
thought, don't jump too fast because it is slow. It is a long, but easy battle
if you don't get stuck against a pillar while running.
Once you'vwe beaten the guardian, the storm will disappear and you will see
the Sulphur Bottom sound and safe. Suddenly, the strange looking device floating
above you will open, revealing odd-looking people: a tall guy with a red eye on
his forehead and a stark naked girl (how much do you guess they'll cut that in
the American version :P) Also, a dark skinned guy, holding the girl from the
Dropship in his arms and the false reporter lady will be watching from afar.
Once inside the Sulphur Bottom, the two characters will be highly taken care
of. They will ask to find the four keys that will lead to the Mother Lode. Of
course, Rock will be volunteer to get them.
2- Manda Sub-Gate
2.1- Portal 2
Goal: Get the Refractor B
Weapon suggested: Homing Missile
Guardian: Spike Giant
Use the same strategy as the previous one.
2.2- Crabbot's attack!
Weapon suggested: Homing Missile
Tron's back, and she is more determined than ever to prove herself to
Mega Man. It's up to you if you want to preserve the village, you'll just have
to pay to rebuild it if you don't. Anyway, use your special weapon when you have
a clear shot, otherwise run around and shoot your buster. When she spins around,
there's not much you can do, except avoiding her.
2.3- Manda Sub-Gate
Goal: Get the first key
Weapon suggested: Drill Arm
Boss: Bola
The first time you encounter him, he is quite easy: run and shoot.
When he throws his knifes, you can jump, but you wouldn't need to if you run
fast enough.
Boss: Bola 2
A little more different: five wheeled spikes on the floor prevent
you from running. Stay in place and shoot,but don't get to close to the wall or
you won't be able to jump over his knife he's throwing.
When you see him stop and tap his sword on his shoulder, jump away
at the last second to avoid his dashing attack. One last thing: when Bola gets
over the middle wheel and attrack the other one, they won't return at the same
place but rotate a little.
Guardian: Bubble Frog
Always stay on one of the four high columns, but never on the same
one of the boss, it could poison you. Once in a while, the frog will
eat the dragonfly to restore some of his energy, so destroy the fly
when you see it. The attacks you should worry about are its tongue
and the bubbles it produces, beside that, the battle is quite easy.
(Return to Sulphur Bottom)
3- Nino Sub-Gate
(Nino's attack)
3.1- Portal 3
Goal: Get the Refractor A
Weapon suggested: Drill Arm
Guardian: 2 Red Mantis
The mantis are not very hard, just run around.
3.2- BirdBots' attack!
Weapon suggested: Homing Missile
The Birdbots are here to invade Nino. In each little missions, you'll
have to protect the fortress from being destroyed while the citizens prepare the
cannons to counter-attack. Go to each door one after the other and take to
elevator and ladder to the top.
Door #1: Shoot the Birdbots approaching the door, blow out the crates in
front of it and wait for the right switch to pass from red to blue to activate
it. Then you'll be called to door #2.
Door #2: Even more easy, just blow out the Birdbots until you are called
to door #3.
Door #3: That one's a little tougher, protect the door against the
Birdbots and take down the battleship.
Upper platform: Concentrate on the Birdbots until the battle with the
plane begins. When the plane drops on you, jump away.
4- Carubania
Weapon suggested: Homing Missile
(Child's play)
4.1- Portal 4
Goal: Get money
4.2- BirdBots Fortress
Goal: Free the hostage girl
This battle will be separated in six area:
Front: Take down the cannons and tanks and be careful that none of the
two kids get knowcked out, or else, you'll have to get back and return.
Fortress side #1: The kids will get you a boost to get inside. Destroy
the enemies and get the access key. You can get outside the fortress to save,
Data will be here.
Fortress side #2: Two cannons and an high tower. Shoot down the birdbots
throwing bombs at you. Don't forget to search the ruins of this fortress side.
You can get two important items here.
Fortress side #3: Fight against the planes and get back outside to save,
you'll need it.
Fortress side #4: Three big tanks need to be destroyed here, plus the
Birdbots. After the battle, equip the Grabber instead of your special weapon and
put the metal crate near the balcony, so you can get up there and enter.
Inside and front door: After knocking down the Birdbots and saving the
girl, a Birdbot will lauch the auto-destruct sequence. You'll have to act fast:
destroy the Birdbots, the tanks and the cannon over the big door. When it's
done, equip the Grabber and carry the girl over the door. If the countdown gets
to zero, everything blows up!
5- Nino again
5.1- Glyde's attack
Weapon suggested: Machine Gun Arm
Roll will activate the ultimate weapon to take down Glyde's ship, but
you'll have to protect her until the weapon is ready. Equip a weapon with high
range and blow out the missiles as quickly as you can. When the meter indicates
100%, Roll will be ready to active this weapon with... unexpected effects ;)
5.2- Nino Sub-Gate
Goal: Get the second key
Weapon suggested: Drill Arm
Guardian: Spark Medusas
Those three jellyfishes are not very dangerous, avoid the sparks and
you will win without a scratch. They are invincible when they spin. Also,
concentrate on one and then, lower the energy of the second one as low as
possible before destroying third one, because the last one is harder when it is
alone.
Boss: Banco
Banco don't like to move around, he'll stay in place and shoot
around. Just run around and he'll be gone before you know it. Althought, watch
where he shoots because he can shoot ahead of where you're running, so jump.
Boss: Banco 2
Same battle, even if Banco has learned some new tricks, the same
strategy applies here. Watch out for his lasers.
(Return to Sulphur Bottom)
6- Saur Kada Sub-Gate
6.1- Portal 5 (Class S Licence)
Goal: Get the Refractor S
Weapon suggested: Hyper Shell
Guardian: Spark Medusas
6.2- Tiesel's Attack!
Weapon suggested: Hyper Shell
When you enter the city, you can choose either the right or left big
door. Choose the right door, you'll encounter a giant cannon and three turrets.
Instead of shooting them right away, open the left door and you'll be able to
attack from the back. You'll get the blue key and access a small room. Talk to
the big guy, return to the beginning of the city and go throught the big left
door. You'll arrive to a place with electric fences, but don't attack yet. Go to
the right, destroy the crates and talk to the big guy again who is waiting for
you. He'll give you a lift and destroy all the fences and mines. On the other
side, you'll encounter some citizens. Buy at the junk or gift shop and find the
red key hidden behind a counter. Finally, save your game with Data and meet
Tiesel.
Tiesel's back and he's got a ace up his sleeve: He stole the city statue
and put it on his mecha. Be careful not to destroy it or you'll have to pay it
back. Don't bother getting on the middle paltform where Tiesel is, he'll protect
himself with the statue. Get on one of the four corner platform and shoot him
slowly with a not too powerful weapon, or else the statue will get damage too.
If the statue should be destroyed, Tiesel will perform different attacks: he'll
dive in the sand and get out to attack.
6.3- Saur Kada Sub-Gate
Goal: Get the third key
Weapon suggested: Hyper Shell
Boss: Lava Pillar
Guardian: Giant Skeleton
This boss too is easy: avoid his fire, sparks and shockwave and this
guy's a goner.
Boss: Tron's Gustav
Surprisingly, Tron is not that difficult: run around and shoot. If
her shield is up, stop shooting and resume as soon as she removes it. Keep your
distances, she's got a flame-thrower.
Boss: Bon
Bon too isn't too hard, just watch out for the lava. When he lauches
his fists, he is invincible.
(Return to Sulphur Bottom)
7- Kalinka Sub-Gate
(Tron's father?...)
7.1- Villain's final attack!
Weapon Suggested: Hyper Shell
Glyde and the Bonnes attack you on a train race. You must protect your
train and destroy Glyde's and the Bonne's wagons. Choose a long range and
powerful weapon and you won't have any problem. The thing you should worry about
are the Servbots throwing bombs at you. But if you use a powerful weapon, shoot
at the locked target and the shockwave will knock them away.
7.2- Kalinka Sub-Gate
Goal: Get the fourth key
Weapon suggested: Hyper Shell
Guardian: Ice Cell
Is this the Yellow Devil from the classic Mega Man series? It's a
head incased into some jelly. Anyway, run around and keep your
distances. When platforms appears above you, climb them or else
you'll catch on "cold fire" because of the icy floor. After a while,
the cell will chase you rapidly, don't bother shooting it and run
away until it calms down.
(Return to Sulphur Bottom)
8- Eden Library
(The plot uncovers)
8.1- Jiji's attack!
There is an aerial battle between the light-skinned guy (Jiji) and the
dark skinned guy. Jiji will win the duel, so you will have to beat him.
He is not very difficult, shoot him and avoid his dashs. When Jiji has
lost most of his energy, he will not be able to fly anymore and he will
land. Continue to shoot him from a distance.
(Rock's past revealed)
8.2- Defense Area
Weapon suggested: Hyper Shell
You land on Eden for the final showdown! You must travel throught the
Defense Area to get to the Library and Mother. Some Reaverbots are new,
some aren't. Equip yourself correctly and you shouldn't have any
problem. There are some control rooms that will allow you to alter
gravity and load data from Mother's system. Always put low-gravity,
because some time, you will encounter some pink beams that will put you
in high gravity. High gravity are needed thought to break some floors
and access hidden control rooms and chests. As usual, try to find the
map console to see if you have missed anything.
8.3- Side Area
Finally outside! This area can be quite confusing at first, but it is
quite simple. There are little island at each eight cardinal points and
you must get to the central island. You start at the South-West island
and there are four Warp Doors on each island. (Not all of them are
active) Some islands have a warp door to an far away island. Start by
moving counter clockwise to get to South, there is a warp to a chest on
extreme South. Then move clockwise until you reach East, get a chest on
the extreme East and move to the Central island. There, you should find
an elevator that will lead you to the Shuttle Bay. Go back to Earth to
upgrade and have Roll build the Shining Laser. Back on the Central
island, enter the building and save with Data.
8.4- Mother Area
Weapon suggested: Shining Laser
There are no Reaverbots or traps here but, you will encounter the four
guardians again. One by level, plus the final boss at the last one.
Finally, you get to the Library, save and follow the animation...
(Library)
Final Battle!!
As you touch the Library's computer, an armored woman will try to
"terminate your program", as Juno would say. :)
First form: As usual, run around and jump when the boss attacks.
When you see her surrounded by many pods, the gravity will be very
high, so jump as high as you can when she creates a shockwave or run
away.
Second form: This part is quite difficult, but the trick is to stay
as far as possible. Anticipating her attacks is the key by watching
her moves and listening to her. When she does her Black Hole attack,
dash to the opposite side. This attack doesn't hurt you, but makes
you an easy target because it attracks you down. Her various attack
includes: Meteors, Multi-Lasers, Giant Wave and Sweeping Ray.

don't see anything...
Races
I will complete this part once I play the American version.
Licence upgrading
Upgrading your Digger Licence can allow you access to certain ruins. You can
upgrade at two places:
- Kalinka, talk to the girl in the church.
- Nino, talk to the girl in the "Digout" room.
They will propose you a timed challenge inside a ruin without any udgrades,
just your normal buster. The higher the Licence, the harder the challenge.
Getting the Class S Licence is almost impossible, I suggest taking the Hard
Mode game instead, where you get a Class S Licence automatically.
Once you beat the game, you will have access to other modes:
- Easy: More money, easier enemies and the Buster Max, that maxes every
stats of your Buster! You get a Class C Licence.
- Normal: That's the mode that you begin with a Class B Licence.
- Difficult: Less money, harder enemies, but you got a Class S Licence!
- Very Hard: Even tougher enemies and a Class SS Licence!!
Tips & Facts
------------
Each time you find one of the four keys, you have to return to the Sulphur
Bottom, new items and upgrades will be available at the Junk Store.
Main differences between the first and the second game
- Except for one (in Saur Kada Portal), all cracks in wall holds money.
- Roll doesn't develop Buster Parts anymore, you buy them or find them.
- You now got capsules to refill your weapons (the blue ones).
- The ruins are not connected together.
