Teleporter Layout for Final Weapon Stage 3
Feet: Found behind a waterfall in Area 1 of the Jungle. 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 Air Force. Shoot the Lightning 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.
Head: Found in area 1 of Cyberspace. 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. Dash-jump from the cliff
just above where you see the Ridden 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 Nova Strike attack. You can fill up the Nova Strike power bar by
either getting hurt or picking up energy or weapon capsules.
Saturn Version: At the character select screen put in the
following code with the cursor on X: B, B, left six times, hold L and R, press
start while holding L and R. Go through the intro stage, and the parts on X
that are originally light blue should be purplish now. Go to any of the armor
capsule to get the Ultimate armor. This gives unlimited use of the Nova Strike,
which is now also the body crash, which is a more powerful Nova Strike. Also,
the X-Buster upgrades are combined, giving X a slightly more powerful blast.
Playstation Version: Mega Man X's Ultimate armor: Highlight Mega
Man X at the player selection screen. Press Circle twice, Left 6 times, then
hold L1 + R2 and press Start. For the Japanese version, press X twice, Left 6
times, then hold L1 + R2 and press Start. Enter a special armor capsule to
receive the new armor.

Magma Dragoon: Use either the Ridden armor or the Double Cyclone.
In his stage, you can use the Ridden 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 Dragoon 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 Walrus: Hit him with the Rising Fire and climb the wall that
he heads towards when he ground slides 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 Spider: Scale the wall up to a very high point, then attack
him with the Twin Slasher on his web with both shots, and he'll fall off.
Otherwise he'll shoot his web attack. 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 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 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 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: Twin Slasher does the most damage. Stay in the upper-left
corner and hit him with charged shots when he stops. Slide down and jump up to
avoid his shots when he stops and fires and when he's on the same side as you,
slide down hit him in the head.
Sigma: Form 1: 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.
Form 2: 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.
Form 3: 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. Jump and hover to avoid the
yellow head's electric shots, destroy the red head quickly and jump to avoid
its fire shots, and climb on the red and yellow heads when the blue one spits
frost 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 its
fire up.
Magma Dragoon: Use the Lightning Web to reach a cliff to the left
when you see the falling meteor-like rocks in area 2.
Frost Walrus: Use the Rising Fire to break the block in the ceiling of the
first part of area One.
Jet Stingray: In area 1, don't jump over the third pit and you'll land on the
platform holding the Heart.
Slash Beast: In area 2, it is on a train car.
Web Spider: Use the Rising Fire with X to burn the second tree-trunk looking
block in area 2.
Split Mushroom: In the second part of area 2, you have to quickly jump on top
of the falling section and then jump over to the Heart. The Lightning Web is
helpful.
Cyber Peacock: Get an "S" in area 1, section 1.
Storm Owl: Get it off of the first platform in area 1 before the beam destroys
the platform it's on. It's easier if you don't have the armor on when you go
after the Heart.

earlier Mega Man X games. - Get an "S" rating in area 1, section 2 of
Cyberspace.

earlier Mega Man X games. - Get from behind some blocks in area 2 of the Marine

the top section of the ice blocks
EX-Item: Allows X to start with 4 lives, instead of two, when
continuing. - Get in area 1 of the Snow Base. After the ice slopes that head to
the right, get on the rightmost wall, and scale up. Use the Lightning Web to
get it.
