There are several key differences between classic <\/span>Mega Man <\/span><\/i><\/a>and <\/span>Mega Man X<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u2013 from the darker storyline to a greater emphasis on action over pure platformer\u2013 but the <\/span>X <\/span><\/i>sub-series<\/span> arguably defines itself best through the implementation of a full progression system. Beyond X\u2019s Armor upgrades and Sub-Tanks, his health bar isn\u2019t static like Rock\u2019s was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a0Mega Man X: Every Armor Location (& What They Do)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Every Maverick stage in <\/span>Mega Man X <\/span><\/i><\/a>hides at least one Heart Tank that upgrades X\u2019s health, but very few are just lying out in the open. Finding every Heart Tank in <\/span>Mega Man X <\/span><\/i>requires not only knowing the layout of all eight Maverick stages, but understanding how different boss weapons influence & play off of the level design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Flame Mammoth<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Flame Mammoth\u2019s Heart Tank will be the first players should get their hands on, but Flame Mammoth\u2019s stage should <\/span>not <\/span><\/i>be the first that players complete. <\/span>Mega Man X <\/span><\/i>is an excellently designed game, but its fatal flaw is that it locks the dash behind the Leg Parts\u2013\u00a0an armor upgrade found in Chill Penguin\u2019s stage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After grabbing the Leg Parts and defeating Chill Penguin (you won\u2019t be finding a Heart Tank right away,) Flame Mammoth\u2019s stage will be frozen over. Flame Mammoth\u2019s Heart Tank can be seen sitting underneath a platform that was previously filled with lava. Walk underneath and grab the Tank.<\/span><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Chill Penguin<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After grabbing the Heart Tank in Flame Mammoth\u2019s stage and defeating the Maverick, head back into Chill Penguin\u2019s stage to wrap up loose ends. The upper path of Chill Penguin\u2019s stage is littered with generators that spawn enemies. Without Flame Mammoth\u2019s weapons, these generators prove to be indestructible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Flame Mammoth\u2019s weapon, however, X can burn through the generators. The generator hiding the Heart Tank is hiding above the cave during the Ride Armor sequence. Instead of entering the cave, abandon the ride armor and take the upper path.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Storm Eagle<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Storm Eagle\u2019s Heart Tank is an easy one to grab right away, although attempting to beat him this early in the game might not be advised. Regardless, finding Storm Eagle\u2019s Heart Tank simply requires doing a dash jump off the rotating elevator platforms at the start of the stage. By riding them up and dashing left, X will reach a platform with Storm Eagle\u2019s Heart Tank.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Worth pointing out, however, is that X will now be locked in the stage until players get a Game Over or Storm Eagle is defeated. It\u2019s worth sticking around, though, as there\u2019s an armor upgrade within Storm Eagle\u2019s stage that can be easily gotten with the Leg Parts and Flame Mammoth\u2019s weapon.<\/span><\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Launch Octopus<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While X doesn\u2019t need anything special to grab the Heart Tank in Launch Octopus\u2019 stage, it is an ordeal in and of itself. Not only is Launch Octopus\u2019 level filled with mini-bosses, the Heart Tank is actually guarded by a serpent who\u2019s reasonably difficult to defeat (if only for the underwater controls and boss arena.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To find the Heart Tank in the first place, players need to sink one of the green ships floating at the top of the stage. Once the correct ship is destroyed, follow it as it sinks and X will stumble upon a nearly formed path where he\u2019ll encounter the mini-boss and Heart Tank.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Spark Mandrill<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Spark Mandrill\u2019s Heart Tank is a tough one for newcomers, one that\u2019s potentially frustrating on a first playthrough. There are two methods of grabbing the Heart Tank, but neither one is particularly easy. The first is to simply align X correctly and shoot the Boomerang Cutter. It\u2019s not too hard, but it requires a precision someone unfamiliar with the mechanics might lack.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The other means of grabbing the Heart Tank is by doing a dash job off the wall and aligning X just right so that he can kick off the edge of the platform holding the Heart Tank. It requires genuine skill to pull off, but it\u2019s a technique worth mastering as it\u2019s useful throughout the entire sub-series.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Armored Armadillo<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Finding Armored Armadillo\u2019s Heart Tank can be a heartbreaker endeavor, if only because most players will stumble upon it for the first time <\/span>after <\/span><\/i>they miss their chance to grab it. Armored Armadillo\u2019s Heart Tank is found roughly halfway through the stage. During the sequence where X is being chased by the Mole Borer, run ahead and keep ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re fast enough, X should be able to reach the Heart Tank before the Mole Borer destroys the path. Should you miss your chance to get ahead, however, X can destroy the Mole Borer before it breaks down the path but he\u2019ll need to shoot fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Boomer Kuwanger<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Like Spark Mandrill\u2019s Heart Tank, Boomer Kuwanger\u2019s is hidden in plain sight. Near the end of the stage, players can spot the Heart Tank sitting on a ledge outstretched from the wall. While it is possible to dash jump to the Heart Tank, it is extremely difficult. The intended method requires either using the Boomerang Cutter to grab it (Kuwanger\u2019s own weapon,) or a fully charged Ice Shot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By charging up Shotgun Ice with the Arm Parts, X will make a frozen platform that he can ride and jump off of. Simply position the ice so it slides towards the Heart Tank and dash jump towards it before the ice plummets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Sting Chameleon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Not all bottomless pits are destined to kill X as evidenced by the suspicious hole in Sting Chameleon\u2019s stage. Should players tackle the stage before defeating Launch Octopus, this\u2019ll just be a dead end room with a Heart Tank you can\u2019t grab. Upon defeating Launch Octopus, however, the pit will be flooded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

X will now be able to use the water to safely jump over the Heart Tank. From there, he can effortlessly jump out and finish the stage. While X doesn\u2019t need all 8 Heart Tanks to defeat Sigma, it does make getting through the first <\/span>Mega Man X <\/span><\/i>a more palatable experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
