Mega Man X2/X-Hunters Base 2

Before entering this stage
First of all, remember to refill the Giga Crush! A good spot is early in the Flame Stag's Volcanic Zone.

Locations to refill Sub-Tanks using the Silk Shot:

Part 1
The Bubble Splash you just used against Violen can be useful in the first part of the stage.

The vertical moving platforms are quite easy underwater. The first one outside water will require a mid-air dash to get past. Wait (quite long) for the last one.

Use the Crystal Hunter to get past some deadly spikes.

Ignore the breakable wall: there is just a spare body (extra life) beyond it, and the spike bed is so long that you will likely waste many spare bodies before you can grab that one.

Part 2
None.

Sorry, but if Mega Man X gets destroyed anywhere in this stage, you have to restart from the beginning.

Boss: Sagesse/Serges

 * Weakness (1st form): Giga Crush
 * Weakness (2nd form): Sonic Slicer

Sagesse (localized as Serges) comes in riding a big machine. It can be destroyed with a single shot of Giga Crush.

The second form is more tricky. Sagesse can only be damaged with a direct hit, but it is protected by the parts of its machine above and below it. Two tips: first, notice that Sagesse always tries to avoid being aligned with Mega Man X; second, you can stand on the lower part of the blown-open machine. If you do, Sagesse will stay in the upper part. Face back, charge up the Sonic Slicer, and shoot at will.
