ClementJ64 plays Mega Man X5 - Part 5 of 15


For the sake of this Let's Play, let's make it so that the Enigma fails so that we can go kick some more Maverick butt again.

Izzy Glow

Watch out for this Sigma Virus heads as you go up the stairs. You'll take on small blue robots that will produce laser-like force fields that travel towards the ground, which will damage you if you run into them. Destroy the blue robots to get rid of them.

Watch out for the bouncing spiked balls as well.

You'll soon take on laser cannons on ropes. Focus on destroying only the black cannons and avoid the fire from the purple ones, which are indestructible. X can fight them from a distance, but Zero will have to get in close.

The green cannons that shot the orange energy balls can be destroyed with either the Crescent Shot or the Crescent Sword. You'll have to wall jump up a wall and destroy one to get the arm program for the Falcon Armor, which allows for an even more powerful charged shot for the X-Buster, but not for the charging up of special weapons.

To take down Izzy Glow, equip the Tri-Thunder if you're playing as X, or use Electric Blade if you're playing as Zero. Stay just to the side below Izzy and keep using those weapons. If you're fast enough, he won't be able to get any attacks in. If he moves around, the weapon will be able to travel the ceiling and walls.

Duck under Izzy's laser when he fires it, and watch out for his sudden teleporting.

Beating Izzy Glow will give you the Firefly Laser for X and the C-Flasher for Zero. The Firefly Laser allows X to shoot out a firefly projectile that can be controlled with the D-Pad. Sadly, X is immobile while using this. (Charging it gives you the Izzy Glow laser.) C-Flasher is Zero's Giga Attack for this game. Equip it like you would a weapon and use it to destroy all 
onscreen enemies.

Once you've beaten the first four Mavericks, you'll be able to fire the now-reinforced Enigma. Your chances of success will be random: you'll either completely destroy the Eurasia space colony and go on to the final stage, or you're destroy only part of it, delay the collision and take on more Mavericks. The plot changes depending on what happens, and getting the result you want can be as simple as reloading your save file until you get the desired result.

If you fail, you'll have to send a space shuttle straight into the space colony, and you'll need to get more devices in order to get that to work.

Here are the four Mavericks you'll have to defeat in order to get those parts:

Axle The Red (Axle Rosered)...who is he? He carries a concealed Orbiter Engine, but that's all that is known. (Named after lead singer Axl Rose.)

Mattrex (Burn Dinorex) is a weapons storage guard. He owns a Booster for rockets. (Named after Matt Sorum.)

The Skiver (Spiral Pegacion) is part of the Reploid Air Force. On his forehead is the Repliforce "R" symbol. He has an Orbiter Wing. (Named after Michael "High in the Sky" Monroe, who is not a member but nevertheless played on a few tracks on Use Your Illusion I and The Spaghetti Incident.)

Dark Dizzy (Dark Necrobat) is a mysterious Maverick with a Fuel Tank. (Named after Dizzy Reed.)

Enemies will come out of the constellations if you're under them, so watch out. The bats usually show up in packs and will fire projectiles and bombs downwards.
