Mega Man X Armor Upgrade Locations

The following information will tell you how to obtain the different armor upgrades for Mega Man X.

Foot Armor Upgrade Location

The foot armor upgrade is located on Chill Penguin's stage. The capsule is very easy to reach and there is no way around it. Less than halfway through the level you will approach an upgrade capsule and you will be forced to go through it.

Body Armor Upgrade Location

The body armor upgrade is located on Sting Chameleon's stage. A little into the level you will reach your first dropdown area and instead of jumping down, you will need to climb the wall above (the foot armor upgrade or dash is needed). A miniboss will emerge and must be defeated for the upgrade capsule to appear, make sure to keep shooting him in the head while avoiding his attacks.

Head Armor Upgrade Location

The head armor upgrade is located on Storm Eagle's stage. After passing the enemies riding platforms that shoot flames, you will come up to a giant metal mesh, instead of climbing to the top, you're going to drop down to where you see barriers with flammable decals on them. Shoot them with your fire wave attack and the upgrade capsule will be just past them. You will need to have defeated Flame Mammoth and Chill Penguin to get this upgrade.

Arm Armor Upgrade Location

The arm armor upgrade is located on Flame Mammoth's stage. Proceed in the level till you reach the first drop that has health sitting on the edge of a platform. A little bit further you will see blocks that look breakable on the ceiling, you'll need to dash jump into them from the platform to your right. Keep jumping up the wall as you break them till you get all the way to the top where the upgrade capsule is. You will need the foot armor upgrade (dash) and the head armor upgrade (helmet) in order to obtain this upgrade.

Below you will find a video that walks you through how to obtain all of the armor upgrades.

Hadouken

Once you have defeated all 8 bosses and collected all heart tanks, sub tanks, and armor upgrades you are able to find the secret Hadouken or Hadoken upgrade capsule. To get to it you will have to go to the Armored Armadillo stage and ride the last cart, then jump off as you fly over the ledge right before boss so that the momentum lets you land on the ledge (you need full health when jumping on the ledge). You will have to grab the health tank and jump off the ledge to your death four times. The fifth time you reach the secret ledge, a Dr. Light Capsule appears and you can claim the Hadoken upgrade, which is used with a back to forward sliding motion then the x buster. It can only be used when you have full health and can one shot almost any enemy including most bosses.
