Get Rising Fire if playing as X or Ryuenjin if playing as Zero. In Area 2 of the stage, there multiple trees which have parts that can be burned with these moves. Stand under the second tree, beneath the electric web enemy, and use Rising Fire or Ryuenjin to reveal a Heart Tank for the taking.

The Heart Tank sits out in the open, above the beginning of the main path of the level section just after the giant staircase in Area 2. Run forward a little, and the level will start to collapse where you were standing. Wait for the platform to fall a little, then wall jump up on top of the platform. Stand to the left of the crusher enemy and wait for it to fall. Once it has fallen, quickly jump up and wall jump up to the Heart Tank. If you are playing as X and fail this, you can shoot Lightning Web from the ground level and dash jump off the web up to it. If you are playing as Zero and fail it, you can use the Kuuenbu's double jump, but this will require revisiting the stage, it may be more practical to suicide down the pit and try again; there is a checkpoint right at the Heart Tank's location.

When playing as X, complete the first speed section to an 'S' ranking to find the Heart Tank sitting in front of you in the next room. When playing as Zero, you have to complete the second speed section to an 'S' ranking; the first will only yield a life. Remember that Soul Body/Kuuenbu can eliminate the pesky yellow electric balls which try to slow you down.

In Area 1, a little beyond where you fine the stage's Ride Armor, the Heart Tank sits out in the open on the platform. However, if you don't pick it up fast enough, a giant laser from above will destroy the platform and cause the Heart Tank to fall into the pit. It may be easier to get the Heart Tank in time if you abandon the Ride Armor before getting there. The only ways to bring it back are suicide or a stage revisit.

The Heart Tank is located on a ledge back to the left as you encounter the first enemy in a Ride Armor in Area 2 of the stage. With a precise dash jump off the wall below the ledge, it is possible to grab the ledge and obtain the Heart Tank without any items. This may take a few attempts however. If you are playing as X, you can alternatively use the Lightning Web from the opposite ledge for an easier time making it there. The double jump learnt from Zero's Kuuenbu move may also make it much easier getting to the Heart Tank.

From the beginning of Area 1, take the lower route until the first instance of reappearing, disappearing platforms. Pass the first platform, but before passing the second platform, jump up, and you should see the Heart Tank sitting on an ice platform above your head. Use Rising Fire if playing as X, or Ryuenjin if playing as Zero, to break the ice and claim your reward.

In Area 1, don't jump when you come to the third gap. You will fall down to the lower platform and run straight into the Heart Tank. Remember to jump after getting it though, otherwise you will plummet to your doom in the next gap.
