This is a storyline battle, so you can't "win" (Vile is invincible). Once your energy meter drops below a certain point (around four energy bars), Vile will start shooting glowing yellow orbs [[File:Mega Man X Enemy Vile armor projectile.gif]] at you that entrap enemies in an energy net. If you get hit by one of these projectiles you'll be trapped and both the fight and the level will end with a short cutscene. Keep in mind that if you're hit enough times before being trapped by one of the glowing orbs you can still die; so to fight against this boss well safely, just let one of the orbs hit you.

When X is trapped in an energy net, Vile will advance to X and grab him with the giant fist of his Ride Armor, binding him in a hopeless death grip.
 
Upon X's capture, the following dialogue occurs:


===A close call===

Upon X's capture, the following dialogue occurs.
*Vile: "You worthless piece of scrap metal, did you think you could defeat me?"

=== A Close Call ===
[[File:Mega Man X Vile close call.png|thumb|left|Vile almost got a taste of his own medicine. The Maverick lucks out and escapes Zero's second Buster strike.]]
[[File:X1 zero.jpg|right|250px]]
Without warning, the charge of a Buster weapon is heard from the background. Moments later, it fires, and a burst of blue energy rips into the shoulder bracket of Vile's Ride Armor, tearing off its left arm, which frees X from capture. A Reploid clad in red armor with a blond trail of hair flowing out of his helmet dashes into view. It is Zero, an A-class Maverick Hunter, here to rescue his partner and close friend. Vile is spooked by the sudden dismemberment of his Ride Armor and realizes he has lost his advantage. The Maverick immediately retreats back into the Death Rogumer, seconds before Zero is able to let off a second attack. Zero watches as Vile escapes for the time being, and then turns his attention to his injured partner.

=== Words of Encouragement ===
A short dialogue exchange occurs:
*X: "I guess I'm not powerful enough to defeat him..."
*X: "I guess I'm not powerful enough to defeat him..."
*Zero: "X, you shouldn't expect to defeat him, he is designed to be a war machine. Remember, you have not reached full power yet. If you use all the abilities you were designed with, you should become stronger... You may even become as powerful as I am. I'll scout ahead and collect as much information on Sigma's fortress as I can. I'll meet up with you when you get there. See you later! X, I know you can do it!"
*Zero: "X, you shouldn't expect to defeat him, he is designed to be a war machine. Remember, you have not reached full power yet. If you use all the abilities you were designed with, you should become stronger... You may even become as powerful as I am. I'll scout ahead and collect as much information on Sigma's fortress as I can. I'll meet up with you when you get there. See you later! X, I know you can do it!"
Zero teleports out of the Highway Stage, and X soon follows suit. This marks the conclusion of the first stage, and now you can start progressing through the main section of the game: infiltration of several tactical strongholds where Mavericks following out Sigma's rebellion are stationed. It is time to liberate them from Maverick control and reclaim peace!
