PrinceWatercress plays X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse - Part 7 of 8


It's now time to take on the final two paths in Avalon. Next video, we get the last shot in on Magneto and see all the possible post-game dialogue!


Wolverine Path


You'll be climbing up a huge set of walls, which is what Wolverine does best. At the same time, you'll be dealing with Acolytes as well as two cannons at the bottom that shoot out beams of light. These light beams won't hurt you, but the huge purple fireballs that quickly dart upwards right after that will. If the Acolytes happen to be dumb enough to float in the path of the fireballs, they're getting hit. (thanks Norrin Radd II Turbo)

There'll be some more climbing after that, but you won't have to deal with fireballs anymore. You'll then fight Exodus. To beat Exodus, simply use the jump attack. If you need to, finish off the Acolytes with a dashing attack if they start becoming annoying. You may get two hits on Exodus instead of one.

You'll find an extra life on the way down, underneath one of the platforms in the center.

The boss here is a giant robot that shoots beams at you and has six smalls rotating around it. Climb up and stand on one of the platforms. Stay on it and slash at the robot with your standing combo whenever possible. It will shoot lasers, but if you stay on the same platform they won't be able to hit you at all. The platforms will get further away from the boss and fly around in a circle faster, but when they return to the boss they will slow down. This makes it easier for both you and the boss to take damage, but if you've been getting as much damage in on every possible time you can hit the boss, you shouldn't have a problem.

Cyclops Path


This one's a pain in the butt. You can get rid of the Acolytes with the Optic Blast, but the real danger to deal with is the moving platforms. You'll have to use these to make it to the end, and Cyclops isn't exactly the fastest character in the game.

You'll find an extra life on one of the platforms after that robot. Just take it down to the lower-right corner of the path and you'll find it in a large nook in the wall.

One of the platforms will take you to the free life. I believe it is the one immediately before the fight with Exodus. Just take it to the lower right and  which is actually quite simple: just jump kick him and use your full standing combo after he hits the ground. Feel free to use your Optic Blast if you need to.

The final boss here is a sphere surrounded by revolving shields that shoots out balls of electricity. Take out the shields - and the sphere - with Optic Blasts, and avoid the electric balls whenever they come at you. If you can leave at least one of the shields up, this can make it easier.
