The X-Hunters are special bosses that appear after the player beats their second Maverick. They will each teleport to a different stage. Within each stage will be a special room that will only open if one of the X-Hunters is there, and the player must go to if they wish to fight an X-Hunter in that stage. When the player beats one of the X-Hunters, they will receive one of Zero's pieces.

Be warned, however; if the player takes too long to fight the X-Hunters, they will leave and never return, making that piece of Zero unobtainable for the rest of the game. The order in which the X-Hunters flees are as follows;
Be warned, however: if the player waits too long to fight the X-Hunters, they will leave and never return, making that piece of Zero unobtainable for the rest of the game. The order in which the X-Hunters flees are as follows:


*Serges, if the player defeats 3 Mavericks
* Serges, if the player defeats 5 Mavericks
*Violen, if the player defeats 4 Mavericks  
* Violen, if the player defeats 6 Mavericks  
*Agile, if the player defeats 5 Mavericks
* Agile, if the player defeats 7 Mavericks


This means that the player must take on Serges as soon as the X-Hunters appears if they want all of Zeros parts.
If you want to fight a specific X-Hunter in a specific stage, enter and exit any '''''previously completed''''' stage; the X-Hunters will change location on the map.
 
The three X-Hunters are named after role-playing attributes in French: Agile for dexterity, Violen for "violence" (strength), and Sagesse (localized as "Serges") for wisdom.

=== Serges ===
*'''Weakness''': Charged Sonic Slicer
[[File:MegaManX2 Boss Sagesse1.png|frame|First form]]
Serge's fight is a little tricky because he rides on a machine. To damage the controller, you must destroy four cannons in front of him, which when one destroyed, the machine will move one step forward and destroy a platform. It will continue to do this until there are two platforms left.
* '''Original Japanese name:''' Sagesse (French for "wisdom")
* '''Weakness:''' Sonic Slicer
 
Sagesse is weak against O. Ostrich's Sonic Slicer, but during the '''first fight''' the normal X-Buster can be easier to use. This is because the X-Hunter's barrier rises when you press the Shoot button to charge up, but not when you release it to actually shoot. Fighting with the Sonic Slicer, you should shoot it at the wall, so that it hits the target after the barrier went up and down. The Legs Upgrade mid-air dash is an asset in this battle.
 
Sagesse has Zero's part no.1, that is the head. This is appropriate, because the name ''Sagesse'' (unfortunately localized as ''Serges'') is French for ''wisdom''.

Sagesse's '''second fight''' is a little tricky because he rides on a machine. To damage the controller, you must destroy four cannons in front of him, which when one destroyed, the machine will move one step forward and destroy a platform. It will continue to do this until there are two platforms left.


Use Giga crush to tear his machine into two with just one use. Then stand underneath him and repeatedly use charged Sonic Slicers. If you don't have Giga Crush or can't execute it, use the Silk S. one direct hit per cannon. Or use the Spin Wheel (3 blades per cannon). Don't use the buster for the first phase because it is tedious.

Alternatively, if you have acquired the Shoryuken from earlier in this level, enter Agile's lair with completely full health. Hit him square in the face (cannot be to the sides or it does less damage) with the Shoryuken once, and it is an instant defeat.
