POKTE VILLAGE QUIZ FAQ & ANSWERS
Current Version:
2.0, 01/05/01
(1 new question, and it's the last one people were really stumped on [you
wouldn't imagine the email...]. Anyway, I'm about ready to call this FAQ
complete for now, until of course someone debunks that.)
II. The Answers
A. AMERICAN HISTORY
B. EUROPEAN HISTORY
C. ANCIENT HISTORY
D. MISC. HISTORY
E. RUSSIAN HISTORY
F. MUSIC
G. SCIENCE
H. MATH
I. FOOD & DRINK
J. GEOGRAPHY
K. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
L. ANIMALS & INSECTS
Mega Man Legends 2 is a multi-layered game, with a few fun things to screw
around with. One of these things is the series of Pokte Village quizzes, held
by the Mayor and two of her best lackeys. You will be presented with three
quizzes, one from each of the women, and a final fourth from the Mayor
consisting of 100 questions of varying difficulty (because they are culled from
the last three). For completing each quiz, you will be given a prize. You can
also replay any quiz as many times as you like once you've completed them (and
get additional prizes--see below).
Of course, you won't be able to participate in the quizzes until you've
completely saved Pokte Village from the forces of evil. That is, defeating Tron
and completing the Ruins.
This FAQ is to provide anyone having trouble with a question to look up the
correct answer. In other words, we're helping you cheat. But I think even the
most hardcore gamer who shuns FAQs and GameSharks will be blown away by the
content presented in these questions. DIS STUFF IZ TUFF
--Quiz Prizes
For completing the first three quizzes, you will receive a Pencil (from the
small girl), some notes (from the older girl) and a Notebook and Energizer Pack
(from the Mayor). The three academic-related items should be given to the girl
on Calbania Plains (the sister of the twins that you rescued from Glyde's
fortress--right? Well this isn't a walkthrough...), who will use them to teach
her brothers how to read and write (MegaMan is a true believer in Paying it
Forward).
For completing the Mayor's 100-question quiz, you will receive the Zetsabre, a
long blade that Roll can use with another item to develop a new Special Weapon
for MegaMan. You can also pay the Mayor 2 million Zenny and get the Zetsabre
outright, but this FAQ is about the quiz after all...
What is that other item? I won't go into too much detail, but it is found in
the Saul Kada Ruins (3rd Key location) in a treasure chest, so be sure to check
out every door! There you will find the notes Roll needs to complete
development of said Special Weapon, the Blade Arm.
The Blade Arm is essentially a lightsaber MegaMan can draw out at will (yes, it
is as badass as it sounds), and attacks with a 3-hit combo (a one-two swipe and
a jumping slash). It's not all Planters and Tootsie Rolls, though, as the Blade
Arm is an intense drain on MegaMan's Special Weapon Energy (the blue bar),
sucking up almost half of it as soon as you put it on! So use it in moderation,
and/or have Roll upgrade it as many times as possible (I'd start by upgrading
the Range if I were you).
Also, as an added bonus, when you complete each student girl's quiz three more
times, you'll get a new prize each time. Here's the chart of what prizes you
get each time:
Small Girl
2nd Time: Candy Apple
3rd Time: Candy Bar
4th Time: Strange Juice
I have yet to find out how to "use" these prizes as they're all designated with
question marks. Apparently they are used simply as items to sell at shops (the
Mug garnering the most Zenny).

This FAQ is NOT complete. I know that. In fact, I have no way to tell when it
WILL be complete thanks to the insane randomization of the questions. So on
that note, feel free to submit questions and their *correct* answers to me
(email address found at the top of this faq or just below). Be sure to
TRIPLE-CHECK that it's not already in here and that the question is more or
less verbatim from the game--I'll admit that I remembered a good chunk of the
questions and probably got the wording wrong one way or another. As long as you
get the main subject of the question people should be able to find it easier.
As for crediting such contributions:
By default I put whatever name you use as a signature. If not that, then the
name used as your full name before your email address. And if not that, your
email address proper. You can specify which of those you'd rather I include, or
just say nothing at all.
Please do NOT send in a question and ask what the answer is. I will not be able
to help you, nor add it to this FAQ. The best way to figure out an answer would
be to go crazy on a search engine (as far as the Internet goes, anyway...).
Knowledge is power, so use it wisely.
This FAQ was originally conceived/compiled by Kalas, and soon taken over and
added to by jewey (ray@portalofevil.com).
Additional answers contributed by:
MadTaper, Andrew M-C, Tim Espasandin, Karzon (who also did some proofreading &
prize info), geno8827, Ryan Sytoseh, Josh Schultz, GG.
And thanks of course to everyone who hosts this FAQ on their sites.
