(Chaud is standing by the shore in a parking lot.)
Chaud: .........
(An older man walks up behind Chaud.)
Chaud: Um.........I'm going to win tomorrow! I promise!
Man: What? You bothered me just to say that? Idiot. I'm leaving...
(Man starts to walk away.)
Chaud: No, really, dad! I won't let anyone beat me! I'm going to be number one! So please...come out to watch.
Chaud's Dad: Ha! I always tell you: "Victory is all!" and "Elites don't tolerate failure!" You should be training for tomorrow rather than wasting your time here.
(Chaud's dad walks off.)
- DNN Messenger -
You'll wake up and get a notice from DNN about a special program being recorded at Beach Street. Jack in and go to Mayl's HP from ACDC 1, then talk to Roll; Mayl can't go. Go to Yai's HP from ACDC 2 and talk to Glyde; Yai can't go. Go to Dex's HP from the distant ACDC 1 and talk to the program; Gutsman has gone to an endurance contest. Head to the water heater in Yoka 1 and talk to Gutsman. He'll be right there. - My Neighbor, My NetBattler -
You'll get CBeacPas in a DNN e-mail, so take the Cyberline to Beach 2, then follow the orange path to the stairs. Go down and continue following the orange path to a teleporter, then go to Beach Square. Talk to the orange bunny Navi to the left and she'll have you stand to the side, then interview you and Gutsman. A report will come in about out-of-control Ni fans in Beach Area. - Beach Area Was A Riot -
Head back to Beach Area and go to the stairs from the station. Go down and keep going down to get to Beach 1. You'll get a call from Dex; the rioting Navis are surrounding Gutsman and the girl. He'll then be cut off. Go forward and challenge the Navi to fight.
[Virus Battle: Mettaur2, Mettaur2, Tuby]
Get on the conveyor belt that goes past Gutsman, then go down the stairs and talk to another Navi.
[Virus Battle: Canodumb2, Boomer, Tuby]
Go forward and down, then go onto the conveyor belt. Go up and on the right conveyor belt, then go talk to the Navi.
[Virus Battle: Swordy, Swordy, Tuby]
Go into the teleporter and you'll confront the Navis, but Protoman will show up, so you won't be fighting anyone. He'll leave, and Gutsman and you will follow suit. You'll see a scene with Wily, then Lan's mom will wake you up. She'll give you a DataDisk to give to Lan's dad.
- What A Surprise -
You'll get e-mail from Mayl, then head to SciLab and go to Lan's dad's office. Talk to the long-haired scientist and he'll take the DataDisk. Take the elevator down and Lan's dad will be there with Chaud. Lan's dad will give you a PET Case in place of him not being there. He'll leave, and then Chaud will as well. Go home and sleep.
- The Day Of Reckoning -
You'll be woken up by Megaman, and receive e-mail from Dex. Go to the Metroline and ride to Beach Street. Get out, then keep going down and right until you get to the DNN Center. Go inside and talk to the guy watching the giant TV. He's Tora, and now you get to fight his Navi, Kingman.
[Navi Battle: Kingman]
Attacks: Plan-B - Pawns and Knight move closer.
Environment: There are two pawns that slice you with swords (30 Damage), and a knight that stomps and sends shockwaves (50 Damage).
Strategy: Try to shoot Kingman when he's visible between the pawns. And don't EVER confine the pawns to two spaces; it'll be a lot harder to dodge them (don't worry about cracking panels, the pawns won't break them).
Once you're done, he'll leave and the N1 guy will tell you to get moving. Go through the glass doors on the left and follow the path to the stage. After an introductory ceremony, you'll learn that the first rounds will take place on Hades Isle. Once you get out, you'll receive mail from Lan's dad with an NC expansion. Go outside and talk to Sunayama, then get on the ferry to Hades Isle.
- N1 Grand Prix, Round 1 -
While on the boat, you were knocked out, and your folders switched. Enter the cave and cross the bridge, then you'll take your place at the console and jack in. You need to find the one remaining "VictData". Go up-right and navigate the wires to the conveyor belt. Go up and left, then go on more wires and get the HadesKey. Go back to where you jacked in and go down the stairs. Navigate the wires to the ? door and open it. Get on the wires and go up, then get the VictData. You'll all jack out, and half of the contestants will fall down trapdoors.
- N1 Grand Prix, Round 2 -
Go along the wooden bridge to the next four doors. Pick any one of the four doors to determine the environment your next battle will be in. The first door is a heat arena, and lava panels are in each corner. The second door is a desert arena, and all the panels are sand. The third door is an ice arena, and all the panels are ice. The fourth door is a jungle arena, and all the panels are grass. Whichever door you choose, your opponent is Tamako, with her MetalMan Alpha.
[Navi Battle: MetalMan Alpha]
Attacks: Fires missiles at you. 40 Damage
Throws his blade and it goes around the outside edges. 40 Damage
Punches you and cracks a panel. 80 Damage
Environment: There are two gears that travel along the center rows.
Strategy: The missiles are easily dodged, but to dodge his blade attack, you need to get to the safe center square. The punch can get annoying when it breaks panels and you're trying to escape the blade. Be careful.
When you win, Tamako will be dropped. You now have three minutes to go find the best folder for the next round, and people around Hades Isle are holding them.
- N1 Grand Prix, Round 3 -
There are five folders available: HdesFldr, N1-FldrA, N1-FldrB, N1-
FldrC, and N1-FldrD, the contents of which are listed in the Folders section of this FAQ. If you want N1-FldrA, the answers to the quiz are answers 3, 2, 1, 3, 1. When the three minutes are up, go to where you fought Tamako and go through the door beyond. You'll end up fighting Dex and GutsMan Alpha.
[Navi Battle: Gutsman Alpha]
Attacks: Sends a shockwave at you. 40 Damage.
Breaks all panels. If you're hit, it causes 40 Damage.
Punches you. 60 Damage.
Strategy: If he breaks all your panels, make sure you break them all, but get behind a broken panel. You're invincible there.
Once you win, Dex, Yai, Masa and Raoul will drop, you'll get to switch to your main folder and you can go through the Door of Glory to the top of Hades Isle. Go down and get back on the ferry to return to Beach Street.
- N1 Grand Prix, Semi-Finals -
Read the mail from Sunayama and go to the DNN Center. Talk to the guy near the stand and he'll give you the BrakChrg NC block along with the code to override the error. Talk to Ribitta and she'll ask you to find Chaud. Go outside and go to the left end of Beach Street without going up the slope to find Chaud. Talk to him, then Ribitta will come and Chaud will leave. Go back to the DNN Center stage and you'll face off again against Tora and Kingman. [Navi Battle: Kingman]
Attacks: Plan-A - Pawns and Knight move closer.
Plan-B - One pawn is replaced with a knight.
Chckmate - The pawns and knight confine you and Kingman stomps, raising water one square horizontally and vertically to him.
Strategy: Try to shoot Kingman when he's visible between the pawns. And don't EVER confine the pawns to two spaces; it'll be a lot harder to dodge them (don't worry about cracking panels, the pawns won't break them). If he uses Chckmate, do not go to the middle square.
When you win, you'll get mail from Mayl, so go outside and talk to Dex and Mayl. Yai was hurt in the trapdoor fall. You'll get a phone call from her and talk for a bit, then go back inside to the stage. Q's Navi will turn into Desertman, and Q will take off his disguise, and reveal himself as Sunayama, and a member of the WWW! The lights will go out, and he'll leave to the editing room; Chaud will follow.
- N1 Grand Prix, Final Match -
Leave the stage and go to the elevator. Go to the end of the hall, save, then go through the door. Sunayama has Chaud's father, and will trade him for Chaud's PET. You'll throw your PET at Sunayama, and Chaud will get his father. You'll then battle Desertman.
[Navi Boss Battle: Desertman]
Attacks: His hands turn into lions and charge you. 40 Damage
Sand pools appear on your panels. 40 Damage
His hands turn into blocks and fall on you. 60 Damage
Environment: All Desertman's panels are sand, and Desertman's head is frequently guarded by small barriers.
Strategy: You need to shoot the barriers out, then use a chip on Desertman's head. Remember that the first hit to his head makes it disappear. If you use a water chip, his head will stay for a second.
Once you win, Sunayama will try to run, but Chaud will arrest him. Megaman Battle Network 3 Blue
