Mega Man 8 Walkthrough

Uncharted Island: Intro Stage
This is where you get the Mega Ball for the first time. Learn how to use it (trust us, you'll need to know about it in many parts of the game).

Tengu Skybase:Tengu Man
Okay, people, prepare yourself to for challenges in the high sky, like riding a bubble and zooming on the Rush Jet! But watch out for that cannon miniboss!

Robot Circus:Clown Man
Here you will find tons of cameos from old games, plus some annoying block puzzles and a bear coin miniboss. Let's begin!

Part One:Toy Factory Zone
The miniboss is the Loin Coin, a

Ammunition Factory:Grenade Man
Here things will start to get a little harder. In this level, you'll encounter Mettaur dressed up as Fire Man, explodable boxes, and an eye miniboss that'll pulverise you with junk.

Part One: The First Floor
The miniboss is the Beholder, the aforementioned eye.

Arctic City:Frost Man
Yes, this is the level with the oh so hated "JUMP JUMP SLIDE SLIDE". But trust us: once you get the hang of it, it actually starts to be...fun...

Mid Stage: Cave/Battle with Duo
In this mini-stage, you will both fight Duo and watch a really long movie. Have fun. And in in the Sega Saturn version, a certain white and orange cutter-toting robot is waiting for you....Guess who!

Ancient Castle:Sword Man
Okay, this is the level where everything starts to get really annoying. Not only is this filled with lava, but before you can even get to the lava(most of it), you have to go through a freakin' maze thing(but don't worry, it's pretty easy.). But watch out for that stone miniboss!

Part One:Test Hall
From the start, defeat the Fire Met and head right. Step on the panel to make the stone head open and release lots of Batontons. Defeat or avoid them and enter the Test Hall. You'll have to complete 4 tests to proceed, using weapons from the first 4 bosses. Head up the ladder and enter the stone head next to the picture of electricity to take the Test of Thunder. In this test, you'll have to hit the switches before a moving spike pillar crushes you. Get away from the stone head in wich you entered this test, turn left, turn on Thunder Claw, and hit the switch to stop the spike pillar and open the Door Statue. Enter the next room. Here, a spike pillar is moving upwards. Head up the ladder and kill the Vamp Batonton(vampire bat) before it catches you. Avoid the Pyro Gautikas(fire statues) and use the Thunder Claw to swing across the hook and head up the ladder. Kill the Pyro Gautikas and hit the switch. Enter the next room. Here, there are lots of spike pillars. Avoid the Pyro Gautika and head up the ladder. Use the Thunder Claw to swing across the gap and hit the final switch. Enter the final room. Step on the panel and touch the teleport ball. You'll reappear in the Test Hall and a Wall Statue will open. Head back up, take out your Flash Bombs and enter the right teleport ball to take the Test of Light. In here, it's really dark, so you'll need to use the Flash Bomb to light your way. Also, take note of the panels in the background. But watch out for the pits, Batontons, and Gautikas(statues). At the end, you'll need to hit 3 buttons in the same order you saw the panels. Head right, step on the panel, and touch the teleport ball. Now head to the stone head with a picture of ice next to it to take the Trial of Ice. Use Ice Wave to freeze the lava and head right. At the end, step on the panel and run into the teleport ball. Head into the last teleport ball to take the Trial of Wind. Use Tornado Hold and the Mega Buster to lock the Puzzlers together and do what you did in the other tests. Head right, collect the Energy Capsule, and drop down to face the miniboss. The miniboss is Gautika Pharaoh, a stone wall crawler. Gautika Pharaoh's weak point is it's red crystal.

Jungle Base:Search Man
Ahh, things AREN'T as annoying here. Just kick back, relax, and swing your way to victory with the Thunder Claw. If you're playing the Saturn version, Wood Man's wating here for a little rematch!

Part One:Jungle Base Gate
From the start, head right and defeat the Chibi Guts Man(robot that looks A LOT like Guts Man) before it throws a bomb at you.

Wily Tower 1: Bridge and Outer Barrier
D-Boy: This. Level. Is. A. Pain. In. The. @$$!!! I say this because the whole first half is another freakin' Jetboard (Jump! Jump! Slide! Slide!) thing! Even after that, you must still get through the rest of it... including a boss that is just as annoying. And if you lose all your lives and have to continue at this stage... guess where you end up? You got it! (What was Capcom THINKING?!)

Wily Tower 2: Defense Sector
From the start, head right, defeating the Hannayana Attackers and the Tekus and climb the ladder, defeating more Tekus and Hannayana Attackers, making sure to grab the flying capsule's contents. Defeat the Sniper Joes and more Hannayana Attackers and blow up the dynamite boxes until you get to a ledge, and it's Rush Jet Time! Defeat the Peat Xs, the Whaleships, the Sworms, the Tekus, the Batontons, the B Bitter 2s, and the Hannayana Attackers(these things never give up). Be sure to get help from Auto, Beat, Eddie, and power up Rush! Soon, you will come to an area with some walls. QUICKLY navingate through them. Collect the Large Energy Capsule, kill the two Seg Dragos, and soon you'll be at the boss, a fighter airship named Giga Wing. Giga Wing has quite a few attacks. One is Mine Deploy, where it fires several pink mines from it's "head" that drift offscreen, then back onscreen. Blast them. Giga Wing's other attacks are performed after it's wings rotate. If it opens it's horizontal wings, it'll use Giga Missle, where it fires missles. Dodge them. If Giga Wing opens it's vertical wings and you see energy balls, it's going to use Giga Laser, where it fires lasers across the screen. Stay between them. If Giga Wing opens all of its wings, it'll use Giga Thrust, where it flies towards you. Stay low or high. Giga Wing is weak to Astro Crush. When Giga Wing opens it's wings, use Astro Crush. You'll cause heavy damage to it. Once Giga Wing's energy is depleted, it's wings and "head" will blow off, and the rest of Giga Wing will crash, defeated, into Wily Tower.

Wily Tower 3: Evil Energy Core
From the start, head forward and defeat the Chibi Guts Man EX
