This guide details the locations and requirements for obtaining Knuckles' upgrades in Sonic Adventure 2.

Mystic Melody

Location: Wild Canyon

Upgrades Needed: Shovel Claw

Description: Allows you to open up new paths or shortcuts when played at the ancient shrines.

From the start of the stage, jump on to the air lift. Once to the outside, go to the Lonely Statue. From there, jump onto the wall and climb up a bit. You should see one of the pictures that Knuckles can dig through. Dig through the picture (the oval image) and you should find the Mystic Melody on the other side.

Shovel Claw

Location: Pumpkin Hill

Upgrades Needed: None

Description: Allows you to dig through the ground or walls.

From the start, go straight ahead and you should run right into it. Or if you fear running across the small beam, glide over there.

Air Necklace

Location: Aquatic Mine

Upgrades Needed: None

Description: Allows for infinite air under water.

Right at the beginning go forward and up the structure in front of you. Then get to the very top floor by taking a pulley up. Hit the switch to lower the water to level 3. Now go down to where you started and find the shafts with the "Caution" signs on them. There are two of them. Find the one with the spring in it. Go down this one, there should be a hole in the wall. Go through and get ready to move quick. Go under water and follow the path. You should go through a tunnel and come out near some wooden planks under the water. Quickly work your way through them and find another tunnel. Go through this tunnel, then start going up through another small tunnel. Work quickly as you may be running out of air. When you reach the end of this tunnel you should receive the Air Necklace.

Hammer Gloves

Location: Death Chamber

Upgrades Needed: None

Description: Allows you to break metal containers.

At the beginning of the stage, go forward, hit the hourglass, and go through the door. Once in the hallway, you will notice a wall of wooden containers on the right side. Smash these and enter to find the Hammer Gloves.

Sunglasses

Location: Meteor Herd

Upgrades Needed: Hammer Gloves

Description: Allows you to see hidden items.

From your starting location, go to the center structure. Then go around to the opposite side so you are directly across the stage from your original location. You should see a meteor on a platform. Get on the other side of this. Now, get near the very edge, run to the meteor and hit the B Button to punch it towards the center structure. If you do it right, it should hit the gray door with a red light on it. It will bust open and there will be a switch. Hit this switch and the top area will open up, allowing you inside. On the very bottom platform you will find the Sunglasses.
