I.  Introduction
The following is a guide to help find all hidden items in X-Men Legends II:
Rise of Apocalypse, the sequel to the 2004 hit by Activision and Raven Software
based on Marvel Comic's X-Men franchise.  Some items are for fun, showing you
covers to comics or concept art, while others have an influence on gameplay,
such as allowing you to carry more health and energy packs, or unlocking
special characters.  They will be listed by their type and the number I have
found out of the total available in parenthesis (Number found/number
possible).

If I don't put a description for an item, it's usually because it's fairly
obvious if you're walking around through a level. The sections they can be
found in are correct though.  If you would like a better description email me
at [email protected], and I will write one in a future version of the
guide.  Have fun, and I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do.

IV.  Homing Beacons/Iron Man Armor (20/20 and 4/4)

For every four homing beacons you find within an act, a secret Blink
portal will open at your base.  In each portal, you'll fight some
enemies and be able to acquire a piece of Iron Man armor.  In act 5,
you'll be able to locate Iron Man himself.  There are more than 4 homing
beacons in each act (6 to be precise), so the following will be enough to
get you Iron Man.  Remaining homing beacons become experience point
bonuses.  The additional homing beacon locations are listed later in
this guide.

Act 1- Genosha
Beacon 1- Cerci Caves (Across a bridge in a cave)
Beacon 2- Cerci Burrows (Beat all drones)
Beacon 3- Seawall (In room only the Brotherhood can access)
Beacon 4- Southern Habitats (in a hall that doesn't show up on the map,
After talking with the hydroponics guy)
Armor Piece- Iron Man's Gauntlets (Blink Portal in Sanctuary)
Act 2- Savage Land

in the center after you've unlocked the doors)
Beacon 3- Part B (Infinite Factory)- Genetic Processing (go down the main
catwalk, and take a left.  The beacon will be on the right side of a little
wing off this platform, next to a breakable computer terminal and three
breakable metal barrels)
Beacon 4- Part B (Infinite Factory)- Assembly Factory (on a crate)
Armor Piece- Iron Man's Helmet (Blink Portal in Weapon X Facility)
Act 4- New York
Beacon 1- Part A (Platforms)- Perimeter Platforms (on the third platform)

Beacon 4- Temple of Sekmeht (Under some breakable jars, after making a
bridge with Iceman/Jean/Magneto)
Find Tony Stark- (Blink Portal in Teleport Chamber)- While in the portal,
you will need to destroy a pillar blocking the light, use the gleaming
jewel, and use the loose stone. He will then be freed.

V.  Data Discs (20/20)  Collect any four data discs (they don't have to
be in the same act), and you will be able to carry more health or energy
packs.  The amount increases with the more you collect, as will be

VII.  Tech Stations (30/30)  Tech stations are pieces of machinery that
allows a one time permanent increase in your stats (striking, focus,
energy, health, body, and speed) for one character on your team.  The
character which activates the tech station will receive the bonus.
These bonuses become very high in later levels, so they're worth
looking for.

Act 1- Genosha
1. Striking- Dead Zone (in a ship)
2. Focus- Desolate Mesa
3. Speed- Cerci Burrows
4. Health- Cerci Burrows
5. Energy- Seawall
6. Body- Grand Hall
Act 2- Savage Land
7. Health- Jungle Ruins
8. Speed- Jungle Pass (through a cave with a weapons cache in it)
9. Body- Nuwali Shrine
10. Energy- Nuwali Corridor
11. Striking- Elemental Tomb
12. Focus- Beyonder's Sanctum (in the area that circles around, you'll
see a pillar with a small fire in front of it. Put it out, and the
pillar descends.  Sneaky!) Source credit goes to Duskhk on gamefaqs.com,
who told abelxjake2004 how to get it, who then told me.
Act 3- Canada
13. Striking- Part B (Infinite Factory)- Engineering
14. Health- Part B (Infinite Factory)- Fusion Core (down hall to the
left)
15. Energy- Part B (Infinite Factory)- Genetic Processing (push crane
into rolling cylinders with a mighty character)
16. Body- Part C (Madri Temple)- Hall of Knowledge (down the hall from
where you meet Emma Frost)
17. Focus- Part C (Madri Temple)- Madri Cloisters
18. Speed- Part A (The Core)- Core Interior. In the room with the blue
cylinder thing that's one of the load screens, there is a breakable wall
that's above ground level. Fly up and melee attack the wall. Another
sneaky one, like the one in Act 2.
Act 4- New York
19. Striking- Part A (Platforms)- Radar Array Platforms (first radar array
platform)
20. Speed- Part B- New York West Side (in a flaming building, up high.
You can fly or jump up to it.)
21. Energy- Part B- New York North Side
22. Body- Part B- Stockade
23. Focus- Part C (Apocalypse's Tower)- The Pantheon
24. Health- Part C (Apocalypse's Tower)- Tower Engineering (in room with
Selene, the Black Queen)
Act 5- Egypt
25. Health- Ra's Mouth
26. Energy- Ancient Labyrinth (near the bridges which break as you cross
them)
27. Body- Temple of Anubis
28. Focus- Temple of Sekmeht
29. Speed- Hall of the Dead (press the gleaming jewel.  The tech station
will rise up out of the ground.)
30. Striking- Vault of the Ages (you must destroy a bunch of bars to get
to this one. There are two paths. One goes left, and the floor will drop
a bit beneath you. If you take the other path {straight, then left} it's
a bit longer, but you can get to it with a non-flyer. I think you might
need the power from Apocalypse's machine to get to break the walls, but
I can't yet confirm that. If anyone can, please let me know.

VIII.  Extra Homing Beacon/Experience Point Locations
Act 1- Genosha
1.  Dead Zone (Just past the entrance to the Cerci Caverns.
2.  Northern Plaza (in Sinister's Lab)

from below.)
Act 4- New York
1.  Part B- Sewers North (need Nightcrawler to teleport to it)
(This alternate strategy from Darth Pacific:  There’s a switch on the floor
that Magneto or other long range manipulators can activate.  You have to point
the character to the immediate inside right of the door to get it to lock-on.)

I hope I've been a help.  Thanks to Marvel for making the X-Men.
Thanks to Activision for footing the bill.  Thanks to Raven for making the
game.  Thanks to Duskhk and abelxjake2004 for a tech station location.  Thanks
to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and
[email protected] for not letting me forget about a weapons cache I
missed.  Thanks to Darth Pacific for mentioning the other way to get one
of the extra beacons/experience bonuses.  Thanks to all of the people on
