Mega Man Battle Network/Stage 3: StoneMan.EXE

ACDC
Head towards the ACDC Metroline station. There you will find out that no trains are running because of a landslide. Exit the station and go back to Lan's computer and jack in. Go through the portal to Internet 1. Take the path to the merchant and go past him. There will be an access point for Dex's computer that you can enter and bookmark. Eventually, you will get to the path to Internet 2. However, you can't continue until you get permission from Dex. Jack out and go to Dex's house. When you exit Lan's house, you will receive an email from Dex requesting a challenge. He'll first want a Recov50 L chip that can be found in Mayl's piano before the battle. Get the chip if you haven't already and give it to Dex. This version of GutsMan has 400 HP and is a bit faster than the previous version. However, his fighting style is the same. After you beat him, Dex will give you the link /Dex and a GutsMan G chip. Go back to the path to Internet 2. You can jack into Dex's computer as a shortcut if you already went through his access point.

Internet 2
Take the north-west path next to the NPC at the beginning. Then take the south-west path, then the north-east path at the circle. Take the fragmented path that splits off. At the next circle, take the south-west path. Finally, at the next circle take the north-east path and you will encounter StoneMan.

StoneMan
StoneMan has 600 HP and uses 3 attacks. StoneMan is stationary in the back column middle row. He will drop boulders and create rock cubes. A shadow will indicate which panel the boulder will fall on, so quickly move out before they drop. Only one rock cube will be present and any new ones made destroys the previous one. When his health gets low, he will use the beam attack. The small pillar pops up slowly so there is plenty of time to move to a different row.
 * Pounds the ground which drops 3 boulders.
 * Creates a rock cube in MegaMan's area.
 * Small pillar pops up and shoots a beam across one row.

Once StoneMan is defeated, MegaMan will destroy the boulder blocking the metroline. Jack out and head to the metroline station. Buy a ticket to the government complex. To use the ticket, just walk through the gate.

Government Complex
Outside you can find Sal selling lunches. You can challenge her WoodMan if you want. Go inside the building and

WoodMan
WoodMan has 500 HP and uses four attacks.
 * Jumps to another panel, stomps the ground and three or four random spikes pop up.
 * Drops a seed that sends a wood tower towards MegaMan.
 * Puts his hands on the floor causes three spikes to pop up three times in a rapid succession.
 * Drops a seed that turns into a tree, then an apple which will heal him if not destroyed.

Before you start the battle, put some fire chips in your folder since that will double the damage, Fireman will be useful since it's strong and almost impossible to miss with. The first few attacks he will do is jump to another panel causing three or four spikes to pop up. You can tell where they'll pop up because the panel will flash yellow. Note how he waits for a second after this attack, a good opportunity to hit him with a slower chip. He will also drop twee seeds which will send a Wood Tower towards you, again, he doesn't much after the attack for a while. By far his most annoying attack is when is puts his hands on the floor which will cause three or four waves of spike pop ups. He won't move at all during this attack, so if you're fast enough you can try to hit him with some attacks. When his HP is low, he'll drop two seeds, one will send a Wood Tower, the other will turn into a tree. Quickly destroy the tree with your buster, because it'll turn into a apple, which will heal Woodman if he jumps on it.

After the battle Sal will give you @sal.
