Three parts in, and we're halfway through the Mavericks!
All maps by X GOD.
Military Base
You'll be destroying crates and shooting Mettaurs at the beginning. When you reach the first car coupling, a soldier will bomb it. Quickly dash jump to the next car! You'll be doing this a couple of times.
The turrets will shoot lasers. When they charge up, stay away and low enough so that the lasers go right over your head.
The mini-boss is a purple car with three spikes. Shoot at the middle spike first, then go for the top and then the bottom. The spikes will still stab at you, but that's all they'll do. Once you've destroyed all three, you'll enter the tunnel leading to the second area.
You'll be taking on a lot of Robot Ride soldiers here. You'll also find a Robot Ride armor that you can ride. Get in it and destroy the brown train cars. One of them contains a heart tank.
The blue boxes with the lion head on them can only be destroyed with the Robot Ride armor.
When you reach the head car, the train will stop. Go to the next train, avoiding the bottomless pits as you go.
When you reach the long platform on the second car, you'll face Slash Beast. Dash around and hit him with your sword combos. When his first flashes, be ready to jump over him as he'll charge at you.
When he pulls his claws out, do not hit him. Otherwise he'll hit you with a nasty counter-attack.
Beating Slash Beast as Zero will give you Shippuuga. Press Triangle while dashing to hit enemies with a powerful dashing attack.
Memorial Hall
When you defeat four Mavericks, you'll face The Colonel after getting a message from him at Maverick Hunter HQ telling you to meet him at the Memorial Hall.
You'll get a cutscene where Zero and Colonel swordfight in the Memorial Hall, but Iris shows up and stops the fight. She still doesn't want either one to fight, as she is afraid one of them will end up destroyed, but Zero is unwavering in his quest to stop Repliforce, saying someone must stop them.
...and that's it! You don't battle Colonel as Zero at all, unlike in the X playthrough. You can go back to beating up more Mavericks!
Jungle
The fish robots as well as the robot fishmen want you dead. The fish leap up and come at you, while the mermen will shoot spikes out of their backs.
When you reach the waterfall, you'll see some wall-walking robots. They shoot singular shots and they're painfully slow.
The Dr. Light capsule that you'd be able to find after dropping down shortly after the beginning is absent, of course, due to your playing as Zero.
The logs on the waterfalls act as platforms.
You'll meet some new enemies here: worms and spiders. Worms move back and forth, while the spiders will shoot an electric web in one of two directions, repositioning themselves every so often to attempt to block your path.
The wasps are back, and this time you'll see their nests. It'll take a few slices to power through all the wasps and destroy the nests themselves.
After you drop down, equip Ryuenjin and attack the all-wood portions of the trees. One of them will contain a Heart Tank.
