The WaterGod Comp can only be accessed if Lan fights Paulie as an opponent in the Red Sun / Blue Moon Tournament.

It will give up to 5 rewards from a pool of 8, depending on the current difficulty. As such, certain BattleChip rewards for Game 1 and 2 can be missed.

Whether Paulie will appear in the Red Sun / Blue Moon Tournament, and which rewards will be given by the WaterGod Program, are both determined at the start of the game. Therefore, the player has no control over this and getting the chips below is simply up to luck. Additionally, Paulie cannot appear in both Game 1 and 2.

There is an oversight which can cause the [[Virus Battler]] to use the wrong set of rewards. When playing on English language, the rewards given are the same as the GBA English version. However, the Legacy Collection version is based on the GBA Japanese version, which has a different set of rewards and various chips are obtained from different locations. As a result, playing on the English language can cause the player to miss certain rewards which are only obtainable from the Virus Battler.

This page uses unofficial terminology.
Some parts of this page are based on media which has not been officially released in English. Names and terms may be inferred from other sources or based on fan localizations.
Based on The Rockman EXE Zone's Mega Man: Phantom of the Network & Legend of the Network fan localizations.

This page lists items and content in the series which can be permanently missed, or become substantially more difficult to obtain, if not obtained by a certain point in the game.

Note: due to the Chip Trader's low odds of getting the chip you need, chips which can otherwise only be obtained through the Chip Trader are also treated as missable on this page.

Some items have been bolded, these are noteworthy due to not having an infinite alternative source for that code or the * code.

  • Chip Trader
  • Shop with limited stock
  • Chip Order using a finite source of another code
  • Version-specific virus drop

Viruses

For most viruses, lower versions can be encountered even on the highest difficulty (Continue 3+). However, there are a few viruses that only appear on a specific difficulty. As a result, this may lock you out of obtaining certain chip codes, which can otherwise only be obtained (very rarely) from the Chip Trader.

WaterGod Comp Gold Mr. Prog

Main page: WaterGod Comps

The WaterGod Comp can only be accessed if Lan fights Paulie as an opponent in the Red Sun / Blue Moon Tournament. In the WaterGod Comp, a gold Mr. Prog known as the WaterGod Program has a low chance to spawn upon jacking in to the comp. It will give up to 5 rewards from a pool of 8, depending on the current difficulty. As such, certain BattleChip rewards for Game 1 and/or 2 can be missed.

Whether Paulie will appear in the Red Sun / Blue Moon Tournament, and which rewards will be given by the WaterGod Program, are both determined at the start of the game. Therefore, the player has no control over this and getting the chips below is simply up to luck.

Blue/Purple Mystery Data

None of the blue Mystery Data and purple Mystery Data in the game are missable. If a BMD/PMD is not collected in a certain playthrough, the contents will carry over to the next playthrough. Once a BMD/PMD has been collected, it will reappear in the next playthrough with its contents upgraded.

However, if a player wants to minimize the number of playthroughs they need to do to obtain everything in MMBN4, they should make sure to pick up all BMD/PMD in the game before starting New Game +.

VacuProg Key Item

Main page: Glitches in Mega Man Battle Network 5#Early VacuProg glitch

Japanese GBA version and Legacy Collection only.

If MegaMan interacts with the Boktai Trader in Oran Area 2 and declines to use Crossover Points before obtaining the VacuProg Key Item in the story, it can become permanently missable. When this happens, the story will proceed as if MegaMan already has the VacuProg as soon as he enters Oran Area 1 during Ch. 3, and you can get rid of the cyberclouds as normal, but the VacuProg item won't be in your Key Items.

Once the game is in this state, it is possible to get the VacuProg after all by obtaining a chip from the Boktai Trader, which will remove the VacuProg ability; then, without interacting with the Boktai Trader again, backtrack to Oran Area 1 and talk to Mr. Prog to obtain the VacuProg properly. However, this is no longer possible once the player defeats GyroMan (TP) / ShadowMan (TC).

This item is more easily missed in the Legacy Collection, since the Boktai Trader always appears on the Net, whereas in the GBA version, it only appears once the player has made a profile in the Crossover Battle mode.

Dark Chip NPCs

There are 2 certain NPCs that sell Dark Chips on the Net. If those chips are bought during Ch. 4 when the Leader Navi (ProtoMan/Colonel) is Lan's Navi, later going back to that NPC as MegaMan will give different dialogue than if MegaMan bought it.

Location If MegaMan bought it If Leader Navi bought it

me out like that."
"Don't try to give
it back,either!"		 "This Navi helped me

Legacy Collection

Exclusive to the Legacy Collection version. (These changes have been fixed in the July 2023 update)

There is an oversight which can cause the Virus Battler to use the wrong set of rewards. When playing on English language, the rewards given are the same as the GBA English version. However, the Legacy Collection version is based on the GBA Japanese version, which has a different set of rewards and various chips are obtained from different locations. As a result, playing on the English language can cause the player to miss certain rewards which are only obtainable from the Virus Battler.

Of particular note is the Django3 D chip, which is required for Mega Chip and Program Advance Library completion and which can otherwise only be obtained through multiplayer.

Due to a glitch, it is possible to permanently miss out on HP Memories for WindMan when the player is using multiple Navis and starts the day by using a different Navi, other than WindMan, which has progressed further in the story. If this is done too often, WindMan will be permanently unable to reach his maximum HP.

V2 boss ghosts

Main page: Bosses in Mega Man Star Force 3#V2 Encounters

After defeating the V1 of a boss, its V2 ghost will appear invisibly in a set location. These ghosts can only be fought up until their V2 is fought as part of the boss rematches during the story. After that, the ghosts will despawn.

While this does not lead to missable content, as the V1 and V2 boss cards can also be obtained from their V3 random encounter, this is an easier way to collect those cards, as the V2 ghosts yield a reward screen after battle, unlike the story rematches.
