I. Introduction
---------------
Hello. I am Zetsaber. That is all I shall be called for now. This FAQ
is for the purpose of beating the last boss, which I think is the
hardest. She is the Mother Unit known as Sara. In this FAQ I will
explain a few things about how to defeat both her forms and some
frequently asked questions about Sara. Please be informed that this FAQ
contains some minor storyline spoilers. So please do not read the
indicated storyline elaboration if you wish to see the story yourself.
Sara is far more complex than the last enemy in MegaMan Legends 1. She
has more attacks and she has a better tactical system. More
importantly, many of you may find the final form of Sara incredibly
harder than the first… assuming that you DID in fact survive the first
form. I myself had a hard time beating her first form, thus the
creation of this FAQ.

II. Information on Sara
-----------------------
A. Basic storyline background on Sara
Sara is Megaman Trigger's long time rival. She was jealous of
Trigger being so close to the Master. She wanted to be close to
the Master, yet she was restrained to the System and was unable
to do so, since she was too loyal to it.
Sara thinks that by destroy Megaman Trigger it would enable her
to understand the Master. In the end she would realize that she
was wrong…
B. Sara's attacks and forms
1. First form, Armored Sara
a) Diamond Shard- an attack in which a blue hue of
light surrounds her and 5 small diamond-shaped
shards appear above her. She then waves her
hand(or hands) downward towards the ground and the
shards beam downwards towards the floor, one after
another, making large blue beams come out of the
places the hit. It causes some medium damage if
hit.
b) Flame Blitz- an attack in which Sara is covered in
a red flame, shield-like dome on the front. She
then flies at you in a fast speed, supposedly
hitting you. It causes medium to large damage on
you, depending on how exactly it hits you.
c) Electric Shockwave- an attack in which she holds
her hands out towards you, creating waves of 5,
nicely spread yellow- colored electric balls,
shooting towards you. She does this 5 or so times
in a row. Afterwards, she changes her tactics.
This does large damage to you, no matter how
you're hit.
d) Flame Spread- probably the most annoying and
devestating attack Armored Sara has. Here, she
appears, making the screen turn red, lowering the
gravitational force in the room. Triangular bombs
appear around her and spread out after a few
moments. She then flies up, then comes crashing
down, causing a firey shockwave to rise up from
the impact of Sara's fall, spreading out to all
corners of the room. What's more annoying about
this attack is that the bombs home in on you,
making it harder for you to avoid it. This causes
major damage to you by either the shockwave or the
bombs.
2. Final form, Mother Unit Sara
a) Teleport- not really an attack, more like a way
to confuse you. She uses this to cancel out
your auto-targetting, making it harder to hit
her. It stops after a few seconds, with her in
another part of the fighting arena. She then
changes her tactics.
b) Split Laser- an attack in which she rises up
above you and points her underside towards the
platform. Many lasers then begin to come out.
As they continue to shoot out towards the
ground, not stopping, she also continues to
move towards you in an attempt to hit you. It
eventually stops. It causes only medium damage.
c) Volcano Explosion- an attack in which she
spreads her hands out wide, causing bursts of
fire to explode from under your feet. They
follow you while you run around trying to avoid
them. This should remind you of one of Juno
final's attacks. It causes medium damage.
d) Laser Blast- I HATE this attack. In this attack
she puts her hands to her sides and a ball of
energy comes out of her chest. After 3 seconds,
it comes out at you, following your direction.
So if you're on the floor, she'll shoot from
side to side on the floor, and if you jump,
she'll shoot for side to side in the air. It
took me 2 weeks to understand the patter of
this attack. You'll understand in the next
section. This attack causes too much damage,
from 6-9 units of damage, depending on your
armor. If you have full armor, it takes off 6
units. See? This is why it sucks. She's too
cheap.
e) Dark Matter- I HATE this attack too. Well not
really an attack, just a way to stop or hinder
you from making any moves. She puts her hands
to her chest and a black sphere of energy
emanates from her hands. She then shoots it
towards you. If it misses, a swirling section
in which it hits remains, sucking you into it.
If you're caught, it hinders movement, allowing
Sara to do what she wants to you. Of course you
can get out of it or you can wait for it to
dissipate… but you'll probably be dead or half
dead by the time you escape.
f) Flight- an attack where she flies towards you
in an attempt to hit you. She's also cheap in
this way. Deals medium damage if you touch her.

III. Preparation and strategy in the fight against Sara
-------------------------------------------------------
A) Preparing
In preparing for the fight against Sara, you must have the
Homing Missile special weapon equipped. It should be upgraded to
it's near maximum, if not it's maximum. Your buster should have
maximum atk. The rest of the buster's stats should be at level 4
or 5 just enough for you to be a rapid shooter and a semi-
invincible blaster. You must also have enough range to reach Sara
from afar in both forms.
Sara does not cause any special status ailments so you
don't have to worry about using the medicine canteen. As for the
energy canteen, it's advisable that you have 60-70 units. You'll
be losing a lot of life in this battle. Also, be sure you have
the item for special weapon recharging. You'll need it.
I'll be referring to the attacks she does according to the letter
assignment I've given them above in section II.B 1 and 2. Also, take
note that Sara(in both forms) has no fixed tactical system and she
could do anything. This section is just to give advice onto how to
actually hit her in her different attacks and forms.
B) First form, Armored Sara
When the battle first starts, begins shooting at her until
she finally dissapears. She does this teleport all the time
before reappearing and doing one of her attacks. Just hold L2 and
you'll automatically lock onto her no matter where she is. When
she reappears, she'll do either attacks a, b, or c. Once you
damage her high enough, she'll do the same tactics except that
after 3 or 4 times she'll do attack d.
If she does attack a, just keep shooting her and running to
the right side until she drops them to you. You'll instantly
avoid the attack. If she does attack b, run immediately away from
her and jump to either side as she is just about to hit you. You
won't be able to avoid it if you're too close or your timing is
all wrong. You'll only get 3 or 4 shots before she comes at you.
If you plan on attacking her while she charges for it, then go
right ahead and do it. Hell, that's what I did. When she does
attack c, you must run towards the right, jumping towards the
right as the electric wave is about to hit you all while hitting
her with either your buster or your Homing Missile.
When she does that annoying attack d, you're gonna have to
be prepared for it. She'll do this attack 3 times before the
gravity returns to normal. Just as she reappears, begin shooting
her with the Homing Missile until you indirectly destroy at least
1 of those bombs. Then when she starts to float up, stop shooting
and be prepared to time your jump over the shockwave that comes
up when she lands. It'll be hard to jump over the wave, but once
you understand the timing of it you'll get the hang of it. Do the
same tactic for the next 2 times she does it. Eventually you'll
win against her, but unfortunately for you, you have the 2nd and
final form to attend to…
C)Final form, Mother Unit Sara
This form is too cheap. She'll begin by using attacks a, c,
d or f. When she does a, don't hold L2. Instead, stand still
until she stops teleporting around the outside of the area. Then
use L1 and R1 to look around and find her. She'll do c or f more
often than d for now. To avoid c, all you have to do is run to
the right. If you run out of room, run downwards and to the left.
If you end up running in front of her shoot her while you run. As
for attack f, you can probably roll away from that attack at the
last moment. If you don't know how to do a roll it's L1/R1 + X.
She should be doing attack d by now. As she begins charging
for the attack, move towards her. Be as near as possible while
shooting at her with the Homing Missile or buster. Make sure
you're NOT at the VERY EDGE of the area. In other words, be
close, but not TOO close. When she finally shoots the beam, run
backwards quickly without changing the point of view. Once you
reach the other end of the area, look to see if it's about to hit
you. If that's about to happen, jump up quickly. It SHOULD make
her change her aim upwards then it will dissipate.
As her damage increases, she should be using her other 2
attacks by then. She'll probably first do attack e, then she'll
do another attack, most likely attack b or d. If, in the
unfortunate event that you are caught in attack e, jump out of
it's field. When avoiding d with attack e's effect still active,
do NOT go into the "zero field"(the attack's point of impact).
Just do the same thing just not stepping into the "zero field".
As for attack b, with or without the "zero field", attack her as
she begins levitating above your head. Just make sure you watch
the lasers as she begins charging. When it shoots out, run the
heck out of her underside and run away. You can't roll away from
the lasers so your best bet is to stay away from her when she
begins the attack. If you follow these tactics, then you'll
definitely be able to defeat Sara. Good luck!
