List of Life Up locations

This is the list of Heart Tank locations found in each Mega Man X game.

Mega Man X

 * Chill Penguin: After the Ride Armor section, use the tall pillar as a boost for a dash-jump to reach the top of the cave. Destroy one of the "igloos" there with the Fire Wave to reveal the tank.
 * Storm Eagle: Use the topmost lift in the beginning to reach the top of the tower at the very beginning of the level.
 * Spark Mandrill: hidden in a top corner after one of the "blackout" areas. Use Boomerang Cutter to snag the tank.
 * Flame Mammoth: In the large open area, underneath a platform at the rightmost corner. Defeat Chill Penguin to cool the lava to reach the tank.
 * Armored Armadillo: Destroy the Mole Borer (Storm Tornado is recommended) before it digs through a huge part of the mine shaft. The tank is sitting on a small ledge in that shaft that can only be reached if the Borer didn't destroy the rocks that can be used for a wall-jump.
 * Launch Octopus: When X comes to an area with a huge closed hatch and bombs floating down, use a nearby tornado generator to reach the Cruiziler above water that was firing the bombs. Destroy the Cruiziler to sink it and destroy the hatch. In the new area, defeat Utuboros to open the room containing the tank.
 * Boomer Kuwanger: Clearly visible in the outside of the tower. Use Boomerang Cutter to reach it.
 * Sting Chameleon: Just outside the cave entrance, go down into the pit. Use the Leg upgrade to smash the small rocks; the tank will be on the other side. Defeating Octopus will fill the pit up with water, allowing easier access to the tank.

Mega Man X2

 * Flame Stag: The tank is in plain sight during the rising lava section, guarded by a Bar Waying.
 * Wheel Gator: After the Ride Armor segment, the tank is sitting on top of a wall of spikes. Use a charged Speed Burner to reach the tank.
 * Bubble Crab: In the area where the Sea Canthller shows up, jump to the right wall and climb to the top, then dash to a platform floating in the water. A ledge holding the heart tank can be reached here.
 * Morph Moth: Use a Crystal Hunter to freeze an enemy just outside the building. With the frozen enemy as a platform, the building's wall can be reached, with the tank at the top.
 * Magna Centipede: Take care not to get spotted by the searchlights. In the near, there are large moving blocks. Use a Charged Speed Burner to reach a block near the ceiling, and climb that to reach the tank.
 * Crystal Snail:
 * Overdrive Ostrich:
 * Wire Sponge:
