ANSWER: Kuwanger comes from the Japanese "kuwagata", which means "stag beetle". | |||

== Tower | == Tower Stage == | ||
Boomer Kuwanger awaits on the top floor of a huge tower, which you must travel through. It doesn't feature any difficult enemies or sub-bosses, so it's a rather easy stage. You'll also find a heart tank which cannot be taken at first, but after you get Boomer Kuwanger's weapon, the Boomerang Cutter, you'll be able to grab it no problem. | |||
=== Level Start === | |||
[[File:Mega Man X Boomer Kuwanger Dodging Lasers.png| | [[File:Mega Man X Boomer Kuwanger Level Start.png|left|thumb|Jump over Hoganmer's mace and then destroy him.]] | ||
You start off on the ground floor of the tower. Climb up the ladders and you'll find a Hoganmer (the robot with the mace and shield). Remember to jump over his mace when he throws it, and then quickly destroy him with a fully-charged blast. You'll also encounter a robot that travels a long the walls, and quickly retreats in the opposite direction once you approach it. To destroy them, just get close and take them out with a fully-charged buster shot. | |||

Once you get to the next floor, you'll have to deal with some annoying flying robots and some laser trip wires (which trigger the invulnerable robots hovering above to shoot you with an extremely fast laser).

Note: If you have the Buster upgrade from Flame Mammoths stage and defeated Armored Armadillo, you can charge up the Rolling Shield to shield yourself so you can run right through the laser trip wires without taking damage. | Note: If you have the Buster upgrade from Flame Mammoths stage and defeated Armored Armadillo, you can charge up the Rolling Shield to shield yourself so you can run right through the laser trip wires without taking damage.

=== Elevator Ride === | |||
[[File:Mega Man X Boomer Kuwanger Elevator Ride Start.png|left|thumb|The start of the elevator ride: avoid the spikes!]] | |||
As soon as you step on the elevator, it will immediately start to ascend. At first you'll have to dodge some spikes (if you come into contact with them, it will result in an instant kill), but afterwards, some purple flying robots will try to halt your progress. You don't have to destroy them, as you can simply dodge them and watch as they disappear off-screen. | |||
[[File:Mega Man X Boomer Kuwanger Elevator Ride Dodging.png|right|thumb|Dodge the flying robots as well.]] | |||
Once you get near the top, the elevator will start to slow down, and a series of spikes will appear. Dodge all of them and step outside. | Once you get near the top, the elevator will start to slow down, and a series of spikes will appear. Dodge all of them and step outside. | ||

There will be spider robots on some of the ladders, but they can easily be destroyed. | ||
On the top floor, you'll notice a heart tank that is out of reach. As stated before, you can get this heart tank with Boomer Kuwanger's weapon, the Boomerang Cutter, or with a very precise dash jump off the wall.

=== Final Area === | |||
In the final part, there will be cannons riding on flying machines and some more of those wall scaling robots from the first part of the stage. You can destroy the cannons and ride the machines, or you can just scale the walls in order to reach the ladders.

Boomer Kuwanger is one of the easiest bosses in the game, even on par with Chill Penguin, if you use the Homing Torpedo. He only has two basic moves: he'll either throw his boomerang at you, which travels in a circle, or he'll become invisible and spawn at a random location (which will most likely be near you). He also moves very quickly by gliding across the ground. However, the only thing you have to do is scale one of the walls, hide in the corner, and shoot a Homing Torpedo.

He also moves very quickly by gliding across the ground. However, the only thing you have to do is scale one of the walls, hide in the corner, and shoot a Homing Torpedo. The missile will find Boomer no matter what, so just keep firing it while you're hiding in the corner. If he comes too close to you, simply wall dash and do the same thing on the opposite wall. Repeat this strategy until he's dead (which doesn't take long). | ||

Go back to Boomer Kuwanger's stage and head to the top floor of the outside area. Equip the Boomerang Cutter, stand in the position shown in the picture, and shoot one boomerang. It will grab the heart tank and bring it to you... easy as that! It can also be obtained with a charged Shotgun Ice platform if you got the arm cannon upgrade from the Flame Mammoth stage. | |||
