ClementJ64 plays Mega Man X5 - Part 4 of 15


We get some more of the collectibles this part of the Mega Man universe is known for and take on Duff McWhalen...

Duff McWhalen (continued)

You'll eventually have to fight the submarine itself. Just stay low, avoid the laser, destroy the fish it spits out and just keep shooting at it.

Unfortunately, you're still not down with it. The stage will scroll downwards, and you have to deal with the back of the sub. You can destroy the cannons at the back of the sub, but they'll continually re-spawn. Once you reach the bottom, you'll fight that part of the submarine off. You can then continue into a sunken ship, and the water will sink below the bottom of the screen.

The fish robots here will follow the path in a stop-and-go motion, and will shoot at you. Thankfully, they aren't too difficult to deal with. There is a cracked ceiling that only Zero can break with the Electric Blade. This leads to a higher path that only Zero can access, and along the way there is a Heart Tank. Be careful with the Heart Tanks, as the health increase only goes to the character you pick it up with. The other character gets nothing.

You're better off getting all the Heart Tanks with X whenever possible, as you'll eventually find out that Zero won't be able to access most of them.

You'll eventually find a capsule for the armor program for X's Falcon Armor, but you won't be able to get it with Zero at all. You'll have to come back here later as X. When you do, use Goo Shaver to shoot through the narrow opening near the floor and destroy the explosive barrel, allowing you to destroy the wall blocking the capsule.

Continuing on, you'll face the top of the submarine. You'll have to destroy the re-spawning missile pods and the yellow part at the top covering the laser cannon while avoiding the projectiles and being crushed by the platforms above. When you reach the top, you'll finally be able to destroy the top of the submarine. Destroy the laser cannon at the top and watch out for the projectiles from the missile pods, like before. You'll also have to deal with the Launch Octopus fish as well.

You'll then reach the end and take on Duff McWhalen. With X, equip Crescent Shot. Use the Crescent Sword if you're playing as Zero. Leap on the ice blocks when he creates them. When he swims to the other side, stay as far left as possible so you don't get sent into the spikes. Whenever you use the C-Shot or C-Sword, Duff McWhalen will be stunned and will briefly stop producing the ice blocks that get in your way.

Beating Duff McWhalen gives X the Goo Shaver and Zero the Frost Splasher. Goo Shaver fires a small ice shared along the ground, while Frost Splasher gives Zero an air dash that produces a shield of ice that damages enemies and allows Zero to pass through most obstacles without harm.
You'll also get the Hydrogen.

To get the bridge to come down, simply shoot at it.

The Mettaurs are back! Shoot them down with your X-Buster.

Watch out for the platforms on chains with the spikes at the bottom. They can't insta-kill you, but they do a lot of damage.

The purple disembodied Sigma head finally makes an appearance here. Remember, they'll hurt X, but for some reason they heal Zero.

When you reach the door at the end, shoot it down to continue.
