BN2 ghost navi appearance rates

[JC]

They're low. Sometimes I get lucky... I run into Air Man six times in a row, and then Freeze Man four times... But after the first encounter with their ghosts, I don't see Magnetman or Shadowman at all.

Gonna be a pain in the ass to get those V2 and V3 chips.

Buy LocEnemy subchips from the dealer in Marine Harbor. Once you run into the boss you want, activate LocEnemy and they'll show up more often again

Similarly, buy SneakRun subchips from wherever those are sold. That'll stop anything that's not a Navi from showing up at all.

Don't quote me on this but after you hit up their V2 ghost jack out and go back in for the random chance version. I know it sounds crazy but I swear it works. I was able to get a V3 after a V2 ghost once in this game but it took like half an hour...after I saw another recommendation to jack out after V2 they showed up like crazy once I went back to those areas. Might be a bug that extremely lowers their chance to show after beating their V2 ghost.

So I assume you'll encounter those when you have SneakRun on? I played it on GBA and it's definitely the case, but somehow I have never encountered one in the Legacy Edition...

Maybe the sample size is still too small. I used like 10 SneakRuns to get AirMan, and I saw them 0 time.

Just be careful, if Megaman is too high level, even Navis won't show up when using sneak run! LocEnemy is your only chance at that point.

Gonna try this. I used locenemy to almost no success, so here we goooooo

A guide for 2 said that after beating V2 of a Navi you have to jack out then back in to start finding V3. I found this info after attempting to grind for Shadowman V3 in the same session I defeated V2. I was grinding for an hour with no success then when I jacked out and in again I found him every few minutes appearing to confirm it.

IIRC Sneakrun blocks weaker Navis from appearing as well in BN2

Using Sneakrun and LocEnemy I was able to get MagnetMan v2 and v3 chips, and Shadowman V2 and V3 as well as a metric ton of Muramasa chips.

This worked great.
