Mega Man Zero 2/Forest of Notus: Burble Hekelot: Difference between revisions

|contents=It is time now to obtain the seventh and last form, the [[File:MMZ2 Active Form Icon.png]] '''Active Form'''. To get the Active Form, you need to destroy 20 enemies in one mission using dashing Saber slashes, but not the [[Mega Man Zero 2/EX Skills|EX Skill]] Sengatotsu. You can perform a dash-slash by performing a dash, then quickly following up with a Saber slash. Active Form will make Zero lightning fast, and allows Zero to perform a spinning Saber slash while in the air or a Rolling Slash when dashing. These are technically the two extra features towards leveling up the Z-Saber from the first game, rolled into one. However, if you activate the [[Mega Man Zero 2/EX Skills|EX Skill]] Sengatotsu, conflicting button commands will override the Rolling Slash, and you'll need to turn it off. This error is fixed in [[Mega Man Zero 3]] using Cyber-Elves.}}

Pinofeel is back again, broving just as troublesome as before. The attacks haven't changed from the Forest of Dysis, but this one is positioned on the opposite side of the room. If you remembered the strategy to beating it, you'll be in good shape. Plus, you also have the Ice Chip on hand. However, there's an added layer of difficulty: spikes on the ceiling. Keep your jumps low, especially when Pinofeel floods the room. You certainly don't want to give yourself a lethal concussion.  

However, before Zero can follow him, Burble Hekelot emerges into the room. He, too, has come too late, and frantically tells Zero to stop. In between several croaks, he states no one is allowed in the next room, by order of Harpuia. Unfortunately for Burble, he doesn't realize Elpizo has done just that. He merely thinks it's a false alarm caused by a sensor that needs replacing, then proceeds to subdue Zero... after taunting him with his sticky tounge.

In his normal state, Burble may jump to the ceiling and hang from it, randomly outstreching his legs to attack you. Hit him with a charged attack to knock him to the ground. Burble sometimes stops to taunt you with his tounge, and when he does, it's able to swat away bullets like flies.

Hekelot will constantly try to hop onto a wall, then shake it down to make three Caterpulls fall into the room, one of which is a special gold color, similar to the the special Shiny Caterpie in Pokémon. You can burn the canopy in this room with the Fire Chip to see better, but that removes the giveaway from the falling leaves as to where the Caterpulls will land. You want to destroy the golden Caterpull first, then get the other two. The gold Caterpull is the one Hekelot targets first, since it contains the most energy to power him up.  

If Hekelot swallows a Caterpull with his tounge, he will swell up into a moderately bloated state. He then gains the ability to launch seeker missles from his back, and hops around a lot more compared to his normal state, since he's become too bulky to spring up to the top of the room. Attack him once to get him back to normal, but his bloated body will cushion the blow and stop him from taking damage. However, once's he returns to his original  shrimpy size, you can actively damage him again.

When you fight him while carrying an A-Rank an up, Burble Hekelot uses his Energy Tounge attack, his revolting EX Skill: one he will exploit very often. At any given time on the ground, especially after being hit, Hekelot is prone to use it. He will jump twice, then launch his sticky, energy-sapping tounge at you. It's so long, you'll need to jump onto the walls of the room to stay out of its range. If you get caught by Hekelot's tounge, he'll wrap it around you and proceed to leech your health away, slowly healing himself. The only way out his firm grip is by mashing buttons quickly to struggle free. Worse, Hekelot uses the energy he steals from you to make himself swell up one size bigger after you break free or he retracts his tounge. However, the obnoxious frog will feel the need to taunt you rather than protect himself, leaving him wide open to a retaliatory Shield Boomerang or Z-Saber attack.

If you defeated Burble Hekelot at A-Rank, you'll recieve the '''EX Skill [[File:MMZ2 Energy Chain Icon.png]] Energy Chain'''. This EX Skill is a livesaver, literally. Latch onto an enemy with the Chain Rod and hold {{gb|Down|Dpad}}. After a few seconds, Zero starts leeching away the enemy's HP to restore his own until the energy drain finally destroys them. If Zero's HP is full, this will fill his Sub Tanks. It absorbs HP one point at time, but does a grand favor in restoring HP right before fights against very hard bosses, such as the upcoming ones.
