Take out the enemies before jumping unto the metal platform and then wall jump up to an area where there will be a switch on each side of the gap you are jumping up from. Ride this down and continue until you see a path upwards.

Walk this way, avoiding the mine but destroying your enemies, and hit the switch to the right of the next large red platform. After this ride is over you should see a switch and a mine to your right. Ride the small red platform up the narrow passage with spikes on each side. The Long Sword chip can be found after the mini-boss, in the section where you are adjusting the water level to activate platforms.

The tube containing the Chameleon Chip is your reward for solving this environmental puzzle. Duck to cut the mine’s chain to reveal a hidden area that you can jump up into. Navigate some platforms to avoid falling in the spikes and then drop down to an area with a floating mine connected to a chain. Pick the unintuitive direction and head to the left.

The Chameleon Chip can be found in the Desalination Station level.Īfter fighting the mini-boss that causes the water to drain, you will fall down a hole that appears at the bottom of the boss arena. It’s a pretty cool chip, despite not having any gameplay benefits. The Chameleon Chip allows you to customize the look and color scheme of your Moonrider. Inside you will find the tube that holds the first power module chip of the game. Pick up the MP regen and then use your special attack to break the wall in front of you.

All you have to do is hit a game over screen and you will be rewarded(?) for your death with a power module chip. Technically this can be the first power module you obtain in Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider. In total there are 12 power module chips hidden across the first seven levels of Vengeful Guardian: Moornider. What you choose will be influenced by your playstyle and the order in which you take on the levels. This means that as the game progresses, you will have to make increasingly difficult choices about which passive bonuses to have equipped. The Moonrider only has two slots where the player can insert their power modules of choice. Each one of these chips gives you access to special passive abilities you can slot into your Moonrider. In addition to the boss weapons, each level hides at least one secret power module. Each of the stages you can choose from the game’s Mega Man style map leads to a boss whose power you obtain upon completing the level. Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider is a throwback to the retro games of the 8 and 16 bit era of gaming.
