Please note: I am not playing at a high skill level. This is meant to be a guide for beginners or people who find this game too hard, so playing with too much practice would be self-defeating. This was recorded after I hadn't played a Mega Man game in over a year, on purpose.

0:10 Starting off, I take the Life Recover Limited Part. I'm assuming that you should have the 1500 Souls necessary to equip it at this point. If you've been following this guide step by step, Zero has killed 7 bosses, meaning 1400 souls minimum. It's almost impossible to have not collected at least another 100 through normal gameplay. However, if you have somehow managed to come short, just go do a quick Dynamo farm (technically we already did one as part of this series, so if you've been following precisely Zero should have at least 2000 souls).

You may consider farming up to UH rank in order to equip your final two parts. I encourage doing this if it's your first time playing the game, just for fun. But on subsequent runs, it's too much of a hassle and there's very little payoff. The extra damage from Saber Plus can help with two of the game's difficult final bosses (Nightmare Mother and High Max), but honestly it's easier to just repeat those fights until you get decent RNG. And Saber Plus won't help against Gate, probably the game's hardest encounter, since he can only damage himself.

Obviously if you consider UH part of 100%, you'll need to do it. I personally don't, since it just involves killing Dynamo (an absurdly easy fight) another 10-12 times.The easiest place to reach him is probably to dash through Illumina in the Weapon Center.

0:45 Don't do this...

1:00 Do this. This move hasn't come up a lot in this run, but it's by far the easiest method to get through here.

Not really much to say about this next segment, it's pretty standard Shock Buffer + D-Barrier tanking at this point.

2:07 This bit is way easier as Zero than other characters. Shadow X can use the overhang on the right, but it's a slightly tricky move.

2:52 Watch your head here... I nearly hit these spikes as they come on screen.

3:21 Nightmare Mother can be extremely difficult to beat on a single lifebar without getting really good at making some very tight evasions, even with Shock Buffer and D-Barrier. The blocks are just too big, and on Xtreme Mode too fast. It can be done, players have beaten this boss with every character without taking damage. However it's a very stressful, exacting experience.

4:02 On the other hand, with the Life Recover Limited Part, Shock Buffer, and D-Barrier, it's an extraordinarily easy fight. Simply tank your way through the damage and you should outlast the boss. Even so, because there is some luck to how available Nightmare Mother makes the cores for you to hit, I don't recommend using your Life Recover until you've got a good run going and have it down to at least 50% health. Better yet, bring two full E-Tanks to boot.

Metal Shark Player's attack will be oddly effective against all of the hard bosses in the Gate stages.
