Mega Man X: Gallery Stage & Armored Armadillo Guide
In this stage you will face few enemies before meeting the final boss called the Armored Armadillo. You will come up against Mole Borer and Mettool C-15. By completing this level you will receive the Rolling Shield, which is theLaunch Octopus' weakness. Read on to find out which strategies to use against these foes.
Gallery Stage
At the start of the stage, jump onto the mine cart and it will take you past numerous Batton Bones, Batton M-501, and Flammingles. At the end of the path the cart will fall into a hole, so be sure to jump off before reaches the pit. There will be some bats and a bird enemy up ahead, take them out and progress. Players can elect to stay here and move back (left) to re-spawn the bats, doing this will give you more of a chance to gain extra lives as the bats can drop these. Continue moving forward, eliminate the several bats and birds in your path.
There will be a sub tank that can be obtained once players hop inside the hole and jump up the wall. You will next encounter aMole Borer, a debris demolishing robot, that will follow a straight path.
At the bottom of the hole there will be a few new enemies called theMettools C-15. They have protective hardhats which they hide under and uses pickaxes to attack you. Just take them out, avoid the bats in this section while hopping over all the spike pits. There will be a fewSpikeysto avoid also in this section.
There will be another mine cart players will take for a joyride. Take the cart until the second pit of spikes and hop off to get on the path of the Heart Tank. Fall into the hole by dashing until you are ahead of the Mole Borer, then grab the heart tank.
Jump over the spike pit, hop onto the ledge, and then get on the mine cart. Stay on the left side of the mine cart to avoid getting hit while shooting down the Metal Wings. Wait until the cart jumps over the large hole and jump to the base of the wall to reach the boss.
