X-Men Legends 2: Rise Of Apocalypse - Strategy Guide (Page 04)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for X-Men Legends 2: Rise Of Apocalypse - Strategy Guide (Page 04).

Go through the other door and enter another water-filled room. From where 
you enter, take the right-hand hall and have either Jean or Magneto fly 
across the L-shaped chasm to a small ledge. Pick up the sketch book 
(Monument, Monument Enemy, Juggernaut), use TK or Levitation to push the 
large block out of the way, then throw the guardian switch.

(Don't worry if your teammates mysteriously appear next to you. It's one of 
the "features" of the game.)

Fly back to the water-filled room and go straight across. Continue down the 
corridor to an octagonal platform. Defeat the horde of enemies, then throw 
the guardian switch and pick up Gambit's comic. (If you don't see the comic 
after the battle, don't worry, you probably accidentally picked it up 
during all the button mashing.)

Go a little way back down the corridor and find the breakable wall on your 
left. Enter the hidden room for a weapon cache, then break the wall to the 
left of the cache for a data disc. Head back to the water-filled room and 
get your second mystic stone.

The fourth corridor from this room leads to the Elemental Tomb, so head 
there now.

C.14: Tomb Raiders
==================
Objectives:
* Locate the Vibranium Idol
* Find the Fire Skull
* Return the Fire Skull
* Find the Water Skull
* Return the Water Skull
* Find the Earth Skull
* Return the Earth Skull
* Find the Air Skull
* Return the Air Skull
* Return to Ka-zar in Avalon

Areas:
* Elemental Tomb (X)

Items:
[] Weapon cache: room of air
[] Tech station (+4 Strike): between earth and water rooms
[] Danger Room Disc Challenge - Gambit: water room
[] Homing beacon: alcove in the room of fire

Recommended Team:
* Flier for getting an elemental skull
* Bridge builder for getting an elemental skull
* Tank for breaking things
* Iceman, Storm or Toad for putting out fires

Advance to the first main room and turn right. When you reach the ledge 
around the large chasm, turn right for a weapon cache. Go back the other 
way around the chasm until you reach the bridge over to the central, 
octagonal platform. Have your flier fly to the top of the column and pick 
up the air elemental skull.

Go back over the bridge and through the nearby door to reach another chasm 
with platform. Take the bridge over, break the rocks and get the earth 
elemental skull. Take the second bridge off this platform and head through 
the door. After passing through one room, look down the stairs to your 
right to find a +4 Strike tech station.

Continue through to the water room. Here you'll need to build a bridge 
across to the platform to get the water elemental skull. Just to the right 
of where you build the bridge, pick up the Danger Room Disc, Challenge - 
Gambit. There's also an Xtraction point nearby.

Leave through the other door and enter the fire room. Cross to the center 
platform and put out the fires to get the fire elemental skull. There's a 
homing beacon (or 15,000 XP reward) in an alcove in the corner opposite 
where you entered.

Continue on to complete the circle and arrive back at the entrance. Now go 
through the door opposite the entrance to find the room with the pillars 
that requires the skulls you just picked up. Go to each pillar and Use it 
to place the skull and the vibranium idol you're searching for rises out of 
the ground.

Go back to the Nuwali Corridors and Xtract back to Avalon and talk to Ka-
Zar to finish this task.


===================================
C.15: Beyond the Threshold, Part II
===================================

Objectives:
* Place the mystic stones (2) in the Ancient Doorway statues of
  the Nuwali Gateway

Areas:
* Nuwali Gateway (X)

Items:
[] Danger Room Disc Defend 204: when you enter the Gateway from the
   Corridors, go straight across the hall and break through the wall
   on the left for the disc
[] Homing beacon: when you enter the Gateway from the Corridors, turn left
   and fight your way down the long hall with flame-throwing statues, near
   the end of the hall, break through the wall on your left and break your
   way through the walls to reach the beacon
[] Data disc: from the homing beacon room, go straight across the large
   hall and through a series of rooms to a large cavern with bridges and
   islands, immediately turn left and send a flier along the ledge until
   you see the disc on the other side of the wall, break through the wall

Recommended Team:
* You'll need a flier or bridge builder to get the data disc

Return to the Nuwali Corridors and enter the Gateway. As you enter, go 
straight through the hall into the next door and break the wall to the left 
to pick up Danger Room Disc Defend 204.

Return to the entrance hall and go right. At the end is another hall with 
water troughs running through it. It's a long hall with lots of enemies 
and, just to make things interesting, flame-throwing statues along the 
sides. You can't destroy the statues or their flamethrowers, so just stay 
out of the way. Near the end of the hall is a breakable wall to the left.

When you break through the wall and get to the next room, walls rise out of 
the floor. They're breakable, so don't worry about them. Bust your way down 
the right side of the room to cross the bridge over the chasm and 
eventually get to a homing beacon--or 15,000 XP if you've already got four 
beacons.

Go back to the main hall and go straight through the door on the other 
side. Follow the rooms until you get to a cavernous room and find yourself 
on a bridge. You can, if you wish, thoroughly explore this room, building 
bridges to move from platform to platform. You'll find a way back to the 
Corridors exit; an exit to the Shrine and plenty of enemies to drop loot 
and give XP.

However, the important thing is right here. Look along the wall to your 
left as you come into the cavern. You can't walk along it, but send a flier 
down the wall until you see a breakable wall along the ledge (you should 
also be able to see the data disc behind the wall). Land, break down the 
wall, collect the disc and head back to the hall of flamethrowers.

Head through the main exit and you'll be in a large room with some columns 
that have glowing rings around them and an Xtraction point. If you fall off 
the raised floor where the Xtraction point is located, you can send a flier 
back up and the rest of the team will "jump" to you.

If, for some reason, you have no flier nor a teleporter, throw one of the 
switches to be sent to the homing beacon room you cleared a few moments ago 
and come back through the main door.

Alright, head across the room, place your mystic stones and open the 
Gateway. Professor X will call you back to Avalon to speak to Destiny; this 
would be a good time to get Iron Man's armor as well. The secret room is M-
shaped; and the boss at the end is guarding Iron Man's chest piece.

Get Iron Man's armor, return to Avalon, talk to Destiny, Xtract back to the 
Gateway and head on through to the Beyonders Sanctum.


======================
C.16: The Beast Within
======================
Objectives:
* Defeat Mikhail
* Free Beast from Mikhail's trap
* Talk to Professor X in Avalon

Areas:
* Beyonders Sanctum (X)
* Mikhail's Warship (X - Change Team only)

Items:
[] Danger Room Disc Qualifying Exam 200: When you enter the Sanctum, it
   is behind a large stone in an alcove to your left
[] Data disc: From the Xtraction point in the Sanctum, go to the opposite
   corner of the room and look behind the stairs
[] Tech station (+4 Focus): in the Sanctum, in the corner opposite the
   Xtraction point, go up the stairs, through either door and to the
   corner room, put out the fire at the base of the column and the station
   will come down
[] Weapon cache: Beyonders Sanctum in the room where you fight Omega Red

Recommended Team:
* See below

In the first large room you enter, look along the left wall for an alcove. 
The Qualifying Exam 200 Danger Room Disc is hiding behind a large stone.

From the Xtraction point, go down the stairs and head for the opposite 
corner of the room. There's a stairway here, and a data disc is hiding to 
the left of the stairs. At the top of the stairs, go through either door 
and to the corner room where a large column dominates the center of the 
room. Put out the fire burning at the base of the column and it will lower 
to reveal a +4 Focus tech station.

Once you've finished your collecting, head through the door next to the 
Xtraction Point and fight your way to the mini-boss battle against Omega 
Red. He's not that tough, just hang in there and hit him with your powers. 
Once he's down, the real fun begins.

Search Omega Red's room for a weapon cache, then save your game and stock 
up on energy and health packs. You should be able to carry at least 22 of 
each (20 from having at least one character at level 20+ and 2 from finding 
the first eight data discs). Use the glowing portal in Omega Red's room to 
enter Mikhail's Warship. Once past his initial group of minions, you'll 
find an Xtraction point. All you can do at this one is Change Team.

Beyond you'll begin what is, arguably, the hardest boss fight in the whole 
game. The fight against Mikhail has three stages, each harder than the 
last:

1) Mikhail clones himself. Individually, these guys aren't all that tough, 
but being mobbed by 15 or 20 Mikhails isn't fun or easy. An Xtreme or two 
here really helps.

2) Mikhail shields himself and turns the four shield generators into 
minions. In order to take down the shield, you have to lure each minion 
onto a pad, kill it while it's on the pad, whereupon it turns back into a 
console and you can Use it to turn off one of Mikhail's shields. Minions 
killed when not on a pad turn into consoles, but you can't use them. And 
then Mikhail turns them back into minions.

After the first shield is down, Mikhail starts sending out a rotating beam 
that damages you and knocks you down, forcing you to play jump-the-energy-
beam with him.

Now, you're probably wondering how, exactly, you are supposed to accomplish 
all this.

Good question.

First, you can recognize when a minion is in the right place because a red 
arrow will show up over its head. When you see that red arrow, blast it. 
Don't use powers with Knockback, because you DON'T want to knock it back. 
Likewise, don't use Telekinesis or Levitation to throw it around. 
Immobilizing powers (such as Iceman's Freeze Beam) are best.

You can lure foes onto the pads by setting your teammates to Defensive AI 
and keeping them grouped around you with the Call Allies button. This fight 
takes patience and a certain amount of luck. But, keep at it, the worst is 
yet to come.

3) When Mikhail loses his shields, he becomes quite happy. You see, he now 
gets to open a can of whup-ass on you and he will enjoy this very much. 
Mikhail is TOUGH, and he has a couple of very annoying powers. One, he can 
turn random objects in the room into minions, so you can't just pepper 
Mikhail, you have to worry about his lackeys as well. Second, Mikhail can 
slow down time and you start moving in slow motion while he speeds up and 
he can come and have his way with you.

Yeah. It's that bad. Of course, in addition to his main powers, he can hit 
for a fair amount of damage and he has a ranged attack and he can stun you 
and he can knock you down. But, it's all good, right?

Again, patience and luck are key. One way to survive this battle is to use 
Nightcrawler (or Deadpool if you've unlocked him) and, whenever Mikhail 
slows time, teleport to the opposite side of the room. Mikhail will 
concentrate on the human-controlled player, so he'll chase after you 
without bothering your companions.

Another helpful thing is to go on a rampage around the room, destroying 
objects before Mikhail can turn them into minions. A highly destructive, 
wide-range power works well for this (such as Colossus' Thunder Clap). As a 
side benefit, you'll get some item drops, including, hopefully, energy and 
health packs.

Finally, Mikhail seems most susceptible to melee damage, so having 
characters who can add melee damage (especially elemental damage, like 
Iceman and Sunfire) can be a big help. Keep the flaming fists of fury up, 
get Mikhail into a corner and just whale on him.

However you fight Mikhail, you'll want your highest-level mutants in this 
battle. The higher the level, the better. There's no one specific way to 
defeat him. Go all tank or all ranged, just be sure you go all out. Don't 
be surprised if you get through this battle with one hero left, clinging to 
life by a thread.

Ladd Everitt contributes the following battle strategies:

"1) In Stage One with the multiple Mikhails, one thing I discovered is that 
you do NOT have to stand your ground and fight once all his clones pop up. 
I knocked down a few of them and then started to circle around the bridge 
(the board is huge). I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were 
barrels EVERYWHERE around the perimeter (and down the stairs) on this board 
and they were pleasantly well stocked, particularly with health, which was 
crucial to me in winning this and the next two battles. I was literally 
able to wander around unmolested when there were still several Mikhails 
left and plunder and restock my entire team. Then, once I was ready to 
fight again, I was able to isolate the remaining Mikhails and pick them off 
one or two at a time. This made it MUCH easier than trying to stand and 
fight.

"2) During Stage Three of the battle, once the shields come down and you 
fight Mikhail himself, I found a gem of a strategy. This strategy is to 
NEVER LEAVE THE AREA YOU START THE BATTLE IN. You start this fight in a 4-
way intersection with white floor underneath you. If you keep your team in 
this intersection and never leave, Mikhail has NOTHING to turn into a 
minion. I fought him using Nightcrawler and without ever teleporting I was 
still quick enough to run around and slice him with sword attacks until he 
dropped. I only got hit 2, maybe 3, times the whole battle, and I never 
faced a single minion."

For the record, Mr. Everitt's strategy works extremely well.

Once Mikhail is down, don't worry about the new objectives. It's all over 
but the shouting. Sweep the room for tech bits, health and energy packs and 
other flotsam, then take the new door that's opened up. Once the scientist 
runs away, destroy the computer console, talk to Beast and take the portal 
back to Avalon.

Talk to Professor Xavier to begin the next Act.

[] Weapon cache: Core Control, in room where you fight Sugarman

Recommended Team
* You'll need a flier or teleporter to pick up a homing beacon
* You'll need a team that's good at hitting combos to fight Sugarman

Welcome to your new digs. Go to the Xtraction point and try out your new 
Age of Apocalypse threads. You can now put together an AoA team (+100% ATK) 
of your choice (or not). Wander around. Talk to Prof X, Wolverine, Havok, 
Heather Hudson (required) and Angel (required). Note: you'll have to use 
the X-jet to get around this time.

Play the trivia game. Frolic in the Danger Room. Drool over your 
unlockables. View your mission briefings. Whatever floats your boat. When 
you're ready to get back to the action, head for the X-Jet and choose to be 
taken to the Core.

You'll enter the Core Interior. To the left is a small room where you can 
pick up your first homing beacon.

To the right of the entrance is an X-shaped pit with radioactive slime at 
the bottom. Be careful fighting around the pit, enemies with knockback can 
throw you to your gloopy doom. There's a data disc next to the pit, so be 
sure to pick that up. You'll also begin encountering enemies that are 
invulnerable unless you hit them with a specific attack (such as the boss 
in the Iron Man area in Act 2). Keep an eye on the enemy's status bar.

Head down the hall past the pit to another pit room, this one with a 
computer console that is your first objective. Use it, and the door behind 
it will open. In the hall, turn left and go into the first room on your 
right to pick up the Challenge - Iceman Danger Room disc.

Go down the hall the other direction and turn the corner to run into a 
force field. Turn around and go through the door behind you into a reactor 
room. Over the blue coil is a breakable wall. Any character can stand on 
the coil and blast the wall with beams/projectiles or you can teleport 
through it. Behind the wall is a +6 Speed tech station.

Go through the next room to get around the force field (you can disable it 
from this side), then go to the room at the end of the hall and break down 
the left-hand walls to advance to the exit. At the opposite end of the exit 
hall is a weapon cache hidden amongst common barrels and boxes.

Enter Core Security. The Xtraction point is down the hall to your right, 
first door on your left, which happens to be a lavatory. Oh joy. The next 
room to the left is just goons.

The room beyond that is also just mobs, but you can go through to the room 
in the back to pick up the Assault 303 Danger Room disc. Go back to the 
room before the DR Disc room, and break the wall to the side to get into a 
computer room. Destroy the computers to open the gate to the security room.

Head back for the entrance and take the left side hallway. The first room 
on the left has mobs, and the second. You can break through the back wall 
of the second room to get a weapon cache. The third room is also just mobs; 
the fourth is the core security room. Destroy the console in here to open 
the force field to the core reactor.

Head for the exit, clearing out the room on the left as you go (nothing but 
mobs). As you enter the Core Reactor, the Blue area is to your left and 
Yellow to your right. In each area, you have to drop two control rods and 
then activate the reactor at the main control. Take whichever you prefer 
first; both areas play exactly the same:

The room you first enter has the main control console. Ignore it and 
continue to the room with a big pit in the center. Use the console on the 
small bridge to drop the rods. Proceed to the next rod room and repeat the 
procedure. Return to the main console and activate the reactor.

Once both reactors have been activated, the doors to the central hall will 
open. Go up the center hall to pick up Storm's comic and continue until it 
dead-ends at a T intersection. Across the pit is a homing beacon, use 
flight or teleportation to get it. Then go around either through the Yellow 
or Blue area to get to the Xtraction point and the exit to Core Control.

In Core Control, follow the hall to a dead end, where you can destroy the 
coolant pump for the Blue reactor (has a red arrow floating over it). Then 
go back through the hall and take the door on your left.

When you reach the room with the force field, go the other way, through the 
door and break through the wall at the far end of the room. Be sure to 
circle around and pick up the sketch book (Core, Core Enemy, Rogue) near 
the force field. When you get to the room with the energy sap, try to stay 
away from it and draw mobs to you.

Go through the door before the energy sap to find the Yellow reactor 
coolant pump. Destroy it, then head back to the energy sap room and go past 
it. Wait a few moments for your energy to recharge (or use up some energy 
packs). You've got a mini-boss fight ahead of you, so you might want to 
open a Blink Portal and return to base for rest, refit and save game. When 
you're ready, head through the door for your battle royale.

Sugarman looks tough and he is, partially. He can dish out a lot of damage, 
and his tongue lash would make Toad green with envy, but his defenses are 
weak. Power combos are especially good against him. A half-dozen combos 
will dissolve Sugarman, so take a team that you can hit a lot of combos 
with. Try to stay behind him or to the side so you avoid his tongue, and 
run away when he starts flailing about with his hammers.

It shouldn't take you long to take Sugarman out. Search the room for a 
weapon cache (it's not hidden), then activate the console to blow up the 
reactor. Take the portal back to Weapon X. Rest and refit. Watch the 
Infinite Factory mission briefing, then head out in the X-Jet.

   rectangular room on your way to the cryogenic substation
[] Weapon cache: Assembly Factory, room where you destroy the cryogenic
   substation
[] Danger Room Disc Challenge - Sunfire: Assembly Factory, cryogenic
   chamber inside one of the pods

Recommended Team:
* There are a lot of robots that are resistant to mental attacks and
  immune to energy and elemental attacks, so a tank-heavy party does well
* You'll need someone with Might or Magneto/Jean to destroy Genetic
  Processing

At the Factory Entrance, your first objective is ahead and to the left 
behind some cylinders; it's the security pass that will allow you to get 
into some locked areas. Go down the right-side hall to the four-way 
intersection and take a right. Down on your right is the Xtraction point, 
and across from it is a console where you can download some genetic codes.

Go back to the four-way and turn right (you're now continuing straight away 
from the entrance) and pick up a data disc. Back to the four-way, go right 
again, and find the Department H agent who wants those genetic codes. Since 
you're down here anyway, head through the door, which leads to Infinite 
Engineering.

Follow the hall to the large room with two pits in the center, and take the 
left-hand (as you come into the room) door. Dodge the flame jets in the 
hall until you reach a +6 Strike tech station. Use the console in the room 
to turn off the flame jets.

Head back to the large room with two pits and cross to the door opposite. 
When you come to the next large room, you're up on a catwalk, follow it 
around to your right and continue through the hall.

Keep going, through a couple more rooms. In the second room, activate the 
security console to unlock the power distribution console you're looking 
for. Head out through the opposite door to a T-intersection. Go left and 
through the door to pick up the Danger Room disc, Challenge - Phoenix, then 
go back the other way to find the power distribution console. Use it to 
overload the system. Open the door to your right to score a weapon cache, 
then use the Blink Portal to instantly return to the center of the Factory 
Entrance.

Go save your game. Since the Xtraction point is right next to the Fusion 
Core, make that your next stop. When you reach the first intersection, use 
the control panel on your left to open the door. Go into the rooms beyond 
to find Scarlet Witch's comic and a +30 Health tech station.

Go back the other way and proceed across the bridge. When you get near 
where the hall turns left, there's an energy sap. Run past it and draw the 
mobs after you; recharge with energy packs and lay into them. Keep going 
until you reach a room with an energy sap in the middle. Stay away from it 
and wait for the mobs to come get you. Then bust your way through the wall 
to continue.

In this room, there's a weapon cache to the left of the wall you broke 
through. Now just keep going until you reach the fusion core and bust it 
up. Then take the nearby teleporter back to the Factory Entrance and head 
for Genetic Processing (the door near where you picked up the data disc).

Take either the left or right path until you reach a large room with some 
rolling cylinders in a pit. Find the steel beam with the blue X floating 
over it and use a Might character or Jean or Magneto to push it into the 
cylinders. Jump down into the pit and use the +30 Energy tech station. 
Continue across the bridge until you reach the first intersection.

Go left, destroy robots until the dispenser runs out, then search the 
catwalks to the side to pick up a homing beacon. Go back the other way and 
follow the catwalks around until you get back on to the main bridge (it was 
blocked, and you had to come around this way). Go back toward the blocks on 
the bridge to pick up Iceman's comic.

Continue on to the main DNA processing platform, activate the console, then 
have a character with Might push a tank off the edge. Mission accomplished, 
time to teleport back to the Factory Entrance and talk to Guardian.

Time to take out the Assembly Factory. Go down the stairs to the left of 
your entry point to this area and open the doors using the console. Beware 
of the energy sap in the first room of the Factory. The next room contains 
an Xtraction point.

Work your way down the corridor, dodging electric beams and destroying the 
marked consoles. When you hit the last one, a door opens to your left, but 
don't go that way just yet. 

Head in the opposite direction to find a cryogenic chamber. Destroy the gun 
turret in the center, then head back in the other direction. When you get 
to a long, rectangular room filled with crates, look on top of the crates 
for your fourth homing beacon.

Continue following the corridors until you get to a small room with your 
objective--a computer console. Destroy it, pick up the weapon cache nearby 
and leave through the other door, which takes you to the cryogenic chamber.

Now you'll appreciate having destroyed that turret as all the clones in 
cryogenic sleep wake up and start attacking you. You'll note, during the 
short cutscene, one of the slumbering clones has a disc in its pod. After 
you've defeated the mobs, use a flier or teleporter to get up to the upper 
level and pick up the Challenge Sunfire Danger Room disc.

Go through the one door you haven't been through yet, and you'll find the 
exit into Central Processing.


=========================
C.19: Sinister Intentions
=========================

Objectives:
* Destroy the super computer
* Talk to Heather Hudson in the Weapon X Facility

Areas:
* Central Processing

Items:
[] Sketch book (Infinite Processing Plant, Infinite Enemy, Gambit):
   Landing after crossing first bridge

Recommended Team:
* Anyone with whom you're comfortable, the fight is pretty easy

From the entrance of Central Processing, cross the bridge to a landing, 
which has an energy sap and a sketch book (Infinite Processing Plant, 
Infinite Enemy, Gambit). Cross the next bridge and through a couple of 
rooms until you see reach a large room with a center area surrounded by 
(unbreakable) glass and several large columns of light.

This is your mini-boss fight, so you might want to open a Blink Portal and 
save your game. Walk around the outside of the glass until you reach some 
glass doors. When you enter, you'll be confronted by a hologram of Mr. 
Sinister, who then unleashes clones of old X-Men (Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine 
and Iceman, to be specific).

This fight is, really, laughably easy. Ignore the Sinister clones and run 
around destroying the holographic generators (columns of light). Then 
concentrate on the X-Dopplegangers. Once they are gone, use the new Blink 
Portal to return to Weapon X and talk to Heather Hudson.

While you're here, use the Secret Portal next to Forge to enter an E-shaped 
room. Clear the room while avoiding the far end of the E from where you 
enter. Once the room is clear, you can go to that end and Use the console 
to turn off the force field blocking Iron Man's helmet. The console is 
protected by an energy sap, but if there are no enemies around, that 
doesn't matter. Return to Weapon X.

  Juggs, Rogue) for the boss fight

Watch your mission briefing, then use the X-Jet to get to the Madri Temple 
Antechamber. Here in the entrance foyer is a homing beacon, right beside 
one of the columns. In the very next room is a Danger Room disc, Destroy 
304. Next up is a hall full of doors. Open any of the side doors to get 
your next set of tasks.

Clear out the side rooms and beyond to find the entrance to the Hall of 
Knowledge. In the Hall, take your first left to get the Artifact of Body. A 
portal will open back to the Altar of Body, use it, place the artifact, 
then portal back. Continue through the Hall. Take the next right to find an 
Xtraction point.
