You emerge from the doorway to see the scrapped remains of one of the blue robots. There will also be cockroach monsters, but they're pretty easy to avoid and die in one shot from the Blade. Watch out for the flying ones though; they have projectile attacks. You will find a save room soon enough with a bunch of non-aggressive cockroach monsters with whom you can speak. Talk to the one behind the counter and he'll give you the turbocharger if you have the Machine Gun, which is virtually mandatory, being that the Machine Gun recharges so slowly normally. If you don't have the Machine Gun, he'll offer to combine your Polar Star and Fireball for the Snake. The fact that this gun goes through walls is very useful in the labyrinth, but if you want the Spur, don't do it. | You emerge from the doorway to see the scrapped remains of one of the blue robots.

Talk to the physician to restore your health and get a key, and to Curly for more information about the Labyrinth, then head up to the door with a red cross above it. Be prepared - you're going to get into a boss fight in a moment. Open the chest for the cure-all, and Pooh Black will appear. After he's done, go back to the physician and give him the cure-all for Curly. | ||
Note that there is a high up passage (visible on the map) that will lead you to a secret door, which will give you the Arms Barrier, a very useful item if you don't want to hold out for the Spur, and useful anyway if you are.

Next up, another boss fight! [[../Enemies#Monster X|Monster X]] is an annoying one, but it's doable. The Blade and Missile Launcher work best here. | Next up, another boss fight!

After he's done, go through the door and you'll hear the sound of a teleportation, and Booster will fall down the nearby ravine. If you follow him and talk to him (and you have no choice but to talk to him if you fall unless you have the level three Machine Gun), he will give you the Booster 0.8, then die.

If he dies now, he won't give you the Booster 2.0 later. You also can't get the third (considered best) ending without the 2.0. | ||
If you don't want that to happen, save, and make the tricky jump over the ravine. You can always reset if you miss, but the trick is to run from the door and hit Jump as soon as you touch the red mark on the platform you're running across. Obviously, this is much easier with the level three Machine Gun. | |||
In the next room, you will see | In the next room, you will see Curly in front of a giant boulder, which is blocking the exit. To advance, talk to her, and then attempt to move the boulder with her. After your failure to do so, Balrog shows up. Curly seems to think Balrog will just help them with the boulder, and he almost does - but then he attacks. [[../Enemies#Balrog (Boulder Chamber)|After you beat him]], he says that he'll do it now, so you can move on. When he jumps through the ceiling, as usual, a save point and a recharge station show up, so use both and then go through the door. | ||
