Any of the 8 main stages can be done in any order you choose. Below is a guide for the Volcanic Zone stage and it’s boss, Flame Stag. I will explain how to defeat each enemy and boss in this guide.
Mega Man X2: Volcanic Zone Stage & Flame Stag Guide
Players will face the boss Flame Stag in this stage, but before they reach the boss they will come up against a few enemies. Enemies will include Beetron, Barite Lastars and Morguns. I will explain what strategies to use in defeating each in this step-by-step guide.
Volcanic Zone Stage
Head right and climb the cliff wall. There will be aBeetronplayers can jump onto their back to reach aSub Tank. Continue climbing the wall and head right to progress the level. Take out the 3Barite Lastarsand quickly move up the Volcano’s shaft towards safety. There will be aHeart Tankupwards to the left, midway blocked by a breakable wall. Once you grab it and move on up. The lava will have to hurt players 3 times to kill them, so even if the lava catches up stay calm and keep moving up.
Head right jumping quickly on the sinking platforms to reach a wall. Climb the wall to enter the opening. Continue heading right past more sinking platforms. Players will reach a top area where they must climb upwards. There will be gas canisters on both walls as well asMorgunsthat can ignite the gas. Once players reach the top, Flame Stag is a short walk away.
Boss: Flame Stag
Flame Stagwill often start the match by heading left and climbing upwards similarly toSigmainMega Man X. Wait for him to get back down and hit him with Bubble Splash. This will cause him to shoot a flame fist which players should jump over then hit him with yet another Bubble Splash. This will force Flame Stag to repeat his actions which allows players to easily defeat him.
