zero cyber elf questions

[Lost Question]

so are cyber elves only available during the mission that they are in or can you find them if you go back to where they should be?

Which game are you referring to? Because from my awareness even if you miss them you can find them once or twice and leave an area you can still refind them anywhere else

There are some Cyber Elves that you can only gather from mission-specific enemies, yes. It's a matter of killing a certain number of enemy in that given Mission.

Some elves aren't so stringent (you *can* go back and get them), but a number of them are only unlockable by killing enemies during the mission--if you beat the mission without satisfying the kill-count, you don't get the Cyber Elf.

Also: some Elves only appear in sections of the map available only during the mission! So explore every nook and cranny of the stage--but don't take too long or you'll get docked points on the mission rank!

That's only true for Zero 1 and for the elves that come from enemies, the ones in boxes can be collected any time you can get into the area. If you plan on getting all of the elves in one shot i recommend a walkthrough

Be wary of using them they will make the game a cake walk and most likely burn you out grinding crystals for the OP ones.

Want a challenge? Do what I did in the original Z Collection for DS and the OG Zero for GBA - no Cyber Elves at all, in any of the games.

It's not a challenge, it's the basic difficulty. In mega man Z2 if you want to earn all EX skills you need to be rank A so if you use elfs..........

If you want to unlock ultimate mode that can count too because you need to have all elfs in Z1 and Z2 (I forgot about Z3 and Z4)
