(1) THE GAME
The latest installment of the X series offers some new suprises, 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.
NOTE: A lot of the information in the later parts of this guide could be
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". Reliforce was originally created to work
with the irregular hunter in stopping Irregular Reploids but something has
gone wrong. Headed by the powerful reploid called "General", Repliforce now
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!
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: In each stage there is one Heart Item, for a total of 8. Each
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.
E-Tank: There are 2 E-tanks in the game. Once you gain the E-tanks, you
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.
EX-Item: The EX-Item will allow your character to start a stage with 4
lives instead of 2 when you continue.
RIDE ARMORS:
Riden Armor: Found in the Slash Beastleo and Magmard Dragoon stages. Press
the fire button to punch. Hold down the fire button to charge up and
release the button to do a dashing punch. The armor can't move while you
are charging up.
Eagle Armor: Found in the Storm Fokuroul stage and the second final weapon
stage. Press the jump once to jump, press the jump button again in mid-air
to hover, and press the jump button while hovering to drop. You will also
drop when you are hovering if you get hit by enemy fire. Hold the fire
button to charge a shot up and release it to fire. You can't walk while
charging up a shot but if you are hovering when you hold down the button,
you can still move.
"Ride Chaser" motor bike: Found in the Jet Stingren stage. Press the fire
button to shoot at obstacles and enemies, use the jump button to jump over
puts and mines, and press the dash button to do a dash-attack.

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
pointing down appear to the right of your character, you're too late. Use
the Soul Body with X or the Sky Waltz attack to keep the yellow orbs out
of the way and dash or dash-jump through as much of the stage as possible.

lower row on the screen and attack the red "eye" on the right wall when it
is open.

(b) Dr. Light Capsule Locations and Descriptions
Boots: They allow you to do hover in mid-air after you jump.
Found behind a waterfall in Area 1 of the Jungle (Web Spidus/Web
Spider) 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: This armor allows you to increase the power of your X-Buster as well
as giving you the ability to charge special weapons.
Found in Area 2 of the Space Fortress (Storm Fokuroul/Storm Owl)
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: The helmet will allow you to use weapons
uncharged without losing energy. Your weapons will only use up energy when
you charge them.
Found in area 1 of the Cyberspace (Cyber Kujacker/Cyber Peacock)
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.
Body: The body armor upgrade will give you the Novastrike Giga Attack.
Found in Area 2 of the Volcano (Magmard Dragoon/Magma Dragon) 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 (note: you need the arm upgrade before you can charge the Twin Slasher).
You can fill up the Novastrike power bar by either getting hurt or by picking
up energy or weapon capsules.
(c) Boss Patterns
Magmard Dragoon/Magma Dragon: 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/Frost Walrus: 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 Stingren/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 Beastleo/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/Web Spider: 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 while avoiding the little spiders he shoots and 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/Cyber Peacock: 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 Fukuroul/Storm Owl: 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 dissapears, 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 straight beam,
keep jumping and firing between shots to draw it's fire up. You can also
use the Ground Hunter on the big head and the Soul Body on the big robot,
but it's a lot harder to hit him with them and they don't really do much
more damage than what your X-Buster will do.
NOTE: There are a number of variations and other ways to defeat the final
2 parts of Sigma. What I have included here is the most effective way I've
found. Some of the variations include using the Frost Tower on the big
head, climbing either wall to avoid rocks, and using the Nova Strike to
take off initial damage to either part.

(b) Attack Descriptions
(The first name is a proper English translation of each move name and
the names in parenthesis are the romanized pronunciations of the original
Japanese names)
Dragon Flame Blade (Ryuuenjin): Press Up and the Special button and Zero
will jump up while thrusting a flaming sword upwards.
Ice Stab (Hyoretsuzan): In mid-air, press down and the Special button and
Zero's Sabre will become an ice lance that he will drive into anything
below him.
Fallen Phoenix Crush (Rakuhouha): Press the Giga Attack button and Zero will
punch the ground, sending a spread of shots in a fan outward.
Sky Command (Tenkuuha): This is a beam sabre Level-up. You can block enemy
energy shots by hitting them with the sword. It won't block missiles or
projectile attacks, only the small energy shots.
Flying Jump (Hienkyaku): In the middle of a jump, press the Dash button to
dash in mid-air.
Thunder God Attack (Raijingeki): While standing, press the Special button
and Zero will thrust forward a powerful electrified sword.
Sky Waltz (Kuuenbu): In mid-air, press the Jump button to jump again,
for added height. Also, when you press the regular Attack button, Zero
will do a spinning attack that will damage anything he touches.
Hurricane Fang (Shippuga): In the middle of a dash, press the Special
button and Zero will do a horizontal slash forward while dashing.
(c) Boss Patterns
Magmard Dragoon/Magma Dragon: If you are in his stage, take the Riden Armor
through the lava and confront him. Keep punching away and you will take a
lot of his energy away if not all of it before the ride armor is destroyed.
Otherwise, it's a lot like a fighting game, you just have to anticipate
his moves and try and dodge them, usually by dashing or jumping over him.
Jump behind him when you can and hit him with the Thunder God Attack.
Frost Kibatodos/Frost Walrus: Hit him with the Dragon Flame Blade and then
climb the walls and jump over him to avoid him when he slides along the
ground. When he starts forming the icicle, stay to either side of it and as
soon as it hit the ground move to where it landed to avoid the smaller
icicles. You can attack him when he's forming the icicle, just don't let
it land on you while you are in the middle of an attack.
Cyber Kujacker/Cyber Peacock: Stay near the middle of the screen and the
moment he starts to appear, hit him with the Dragon Flame Blade. When he
starts appearing to the sides, move over a little and quickly hit him with
the Rising Flame Sword and get back to the middle.
Storm Fukuroul/Storm Owl: Stay near the center of the screen and hit him
with the Fallen Phoenix Crush. You'll have to take a few hits or strike at
him when he lands because you won't have enough Giga Attack energy to
finish him off otherwise.
Jet Stingren/Jet Stingray: Get up to the upper-left corner. When he flies
up and starts to drop down, quickly hit him with the Ice Stab. It takes a
lot of practice and perfect timing, but if you do it right, you can trap
him in the corner without taking any damage. Another technique is to use
the Sky Waltz and Ice Stab. Get to the wall behind him, jump up twice and
immediately stab down into him as he's dropping down.
Web Spidus/Web Spider: Use the Sky Waltz to get over the webs he throws at
you and hit him while you are in the air. When he spins his web, just keep
attacking him and dodging the webs and spiders that he throws at you.
Split Mushroom: Hit him while he's on the wall and then use the Thunder God
Attack on the "real" one (the one that appers to be more solid) when he
splits in two.
Slash Beastleo/Slash Beast: Dash out of the way when he tries to land on you
and use Sky Waltz to avoid his rushing attacks and Twin Slasher attack.
Colonel: When he dissapears, double-jump to avoid his attacks. Wait until
he appears in the middle of the screen and does the lightning attack. Stay
off the green spots on the ground and double jump to avoid the lightning.
Jump over the beams he fires and strike at him when he's doing the
lightning attack or sword attacks.
Iris: Each time you hit her, she drops air-mines. Hit her armor until the
purple crystal is released and then attack the crystal and not her. When
the crystal gets under you, stay away from the wall until it stops and then
dash-jump to the wall to avoid its blast.
General: Stay to the left side of the screen. When he moves over towards
you, quickly jump up to the upper-left corner and hit him in the head from
behind when he comes over to your side.
Bosses: See Above
Sigma:
Part 1 (Grim Reaper): Use the Dragon Flame Blade on 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 Sky Waltz. 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 use the Hurricane Fang when you are close enough. If it
tries to suck you in let the yellow head block your path as you destroy it
with the Thunder God Attack and keep attacking the big head after the
yellow one is destroyed to destroy the rocks it spits and to do damage to
it. For the giant robot, stay in the upper left corner until it appears.
If its raises it gun and fires along the ground, stay in the corner. If it
fires off the straight beam, get in close and use the Sky Waltz to hit it
as well as destroy the red head under it since the gun barrel itself won't
harm you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
(7) Secret Codes
Turn off background noise: If you press start to go to the sub screen on
the Marine Base or Jungle stages and then press start to return to the
game, the background noise caused by the jet bike on the Marine Base or the
waterfalls in the Jungle will be turned off. The bike noise will return
when you do a dash attack.
Super Armors-
There are hidden special armors for X and Zero that you can access through
special codes on the character select screen.
To activate the "Ultimate Armor" for X:
Playstation:
At the player select screen, highlight X.
Press the "X" button (Circle button in the US version) twice.
Press Left on the D-Pad 6 times.
Hold L1 and R2 and press start.
Saturn:
At the player select screen, highlight X.
Press the "B" button twice.
Press Left on the D-Pad 6 times.
Hold L and R and press start.
If you do this correctly, you'll notice that the light blue parts of X's
armor are now purple. When you enter any of the special armor capsules,
you will be given the full Ultimate Armor suit. With this armor, you can
do the Novastrike attack without using up any of it's energy.
(Note: The "Ulimate Armor" is the special armor that X has in the "Mega
Armor Series" action figure that was packed in with the Japanese "Special
Limited Pack". The "Special Limited Pack" is a limited edition version of
the Japanese Rockman X4 game that came packed in with the first figure in
the Japanese "Mega Armor Series" of X and Zero action figures.)
Zero's Dark Costume:
To activate the black and white armor for Zero:
Playstation:
At the player select screen, highlight Zero.
Hold the R1 button and press right 6 times.
Release the R1 button, hold the X button (Circle button in the US version),
and press start.
Saturn:
At the player select screen, highlight Zero.
Hold the R button and press right 6 times.
Release the R button, hold the B button, and press start.
Outside of the different outfit, I haven't found any significant difference
between the regular Zero and the dark version.
The coolest part is that you can save these armors in memory, so you don't
have to put the code in every time.
I had reported on a "hidden option" in the options screen. Apparently, this
was a debugging tool that was removed from the final version of the game.
Unfortunately, a gap was left in the options screen where the debugging menu
was, which led me to believe that there was a hidden option.

(8)Script
MYSTERY FIGURE: It's about the Maverick Hunters, General. They are far too
eager to please the humans and continue to hunt down the Reploids. Do you
believe they pose a significant threat?
GENERAL: Perhaps...
MYSTERY FIGURE: You already know the truth, General! Their sole mission
has been to destroy any Reploids who fail to do as the humans order. It is
in your best interest to stop them now, before they turn on you. You
possess enough power to destroy them!!
GENERAL: You're dismissed.
MYSTERY FIGURE: What?!
GENERAL: I will not betray the humans. Remove yourself from my sight. My
business with you has concluded.
MYSTERY FIGURE: Heh-heh... Very well, but you will change your mind soon.
I assure you... HAHAHAAA!
HUNTER H.Q.: Mavericks have been found at point 5567! The Mavericks
occupied the Sky Lagoon using the most advanced weapons available! The
army appears to be the Repliforce!
X: Roger that! I'm on my way now!
SKY LAGOON Area 1:
X: You're Dragoon from the 14th unit!
DRAGOON: This isn't good, X! That Maverick just destroyed the power
reactor!
X: What?! Then the Sky Lagoon will... come crashing into the ground!
DRAGOON: It's too late, X! It's time I made my escape. I suggest you do
the same... don't do anything reckless on the way out, okay?
X: The city below will become a sea of flames. Many people will perish...
I have no choice but to escape from here and head to the city below!
SKY LAGOON Area 2:
X: ...Wha?! The city has been completely destroyed. They were innocent
people... I won't forget this!
(stage battle)
X: ...Who are you?
COLONEL: I'm the Colonel of the Repliforce.
X: Has the Repliforce been occupying this area?
COLONEL: What are you talking about!? I only came to save my sister. The
army responsible for all the violence in this region is not the Repliforce!
X: Nevertheless, I want you to disarm and follow me back to the H.Q.
COLONEL: Never! You're asking my soldiers to drop their weapons? The only
time we drop our weapons is when we aren't able to fight any longer!
X: But you will be regarded as a Maverick and treated as such.
COLONEL: Do as you will! The Repliforce would sooner fight and die than
discard our pride! Consider us Mavericks if this is what you wish!
X: Wait! Calm down Colonel!
X: What the...! Something's got to give. Otherwise the entire Repliforce
will be considered to be Mavericks!
GENERAL: Brave soldiers of Repliforce, we have all been wrongfully judged
as Mavericks by the humans! We cannot suffer this indignity and live in
disgrace! We will build our own nation of Reploids but remember this is
neither about insurrection or rebellion against our human creators. This
is about our liberty and security. We must battle for our own individual
rights and our own survival. Together we will build our nation, a
sanctuary for all Reploids, our own utopia. Let us forge onward towards a
new golden era for the Repliforce.
COLONEL: I too share the General's sentiment. Take heed, we have no other
choice. Let us fight venerably with courage and pride, without fear for we
are the Repliforce... the most powerful army in history!!
MYSTERY FIGURE: HAHAHAA! The General has finally taken action... and now my
Maverick Hunters, what will you do? I'll be watching closely from here on
out! HAHAHAHAAA!!
X: ...Who are you?
DOUBLE: Call me Double, the rookie hunter. My leige, the Repliforce has
begun it's coup!

place?

weren't involved in the attack!
ZERO: They suspect you've become a Maverick.
COLONEL: What!?
ZERO: Disarm and come with me to the H.Q.
COLONEL: I'm afraid I can't. Soldiers never drop their weapons! I won't do
it, not even for you Zero!

COLONEL: So be it! The Repliforce prefers war over dishonor and shame!
Good bye, Zero!

is a group of Mavericks!

ZERO: Iris! Did we reploids all turn out to be Mavericks after all?
(after credits)
... The battle has ended. But for some reason, Zero's memories of the past
continue to haunt his mind.
... As a hunter, it is his duty to go after those Mavericks...
... And at the same time, he knows that it is his destiny to defeat his
friend one day.
Two different people. Two different fates.
In the future... Zero's decision will lead two great hunters to tragedy.
The future is coming...
