I haven't found a way to disable it yet (that doesn't break the game that is).
#Megaman x5 boss level code#
The cheat codes for Ultimate Armor/Black Zero allow the Force Armor to always be kept, but you still can only use one code or the other (it is possible however to allow the player to receive both upgrades, but it might be best to make the player choose I haven't fully decided yet).Īlia's dialogue as stated before is the biggest flaw of the game. This does break the story somewhat in the intro stage as X's Force Armor is destroyed if you choose Zero, and Zero's Z-Buster is damaged if you pick X (so either just assume the damage was fixable or alter the text and graphics). So X will always have the Force Armor and Zero will always have the Z-Buster.
#Megaman x5 boss level how to#
I figured out how to do this (it was a simple matter of having the branch instructions always default to a single option). Someone mentioned allowing both character bonuses to be kept. Zero boss fights both have problems for one).
There are some other graphical/palette issues that I hope to fix (the X vs. This meant fixing his graphics, palettes, and sprite assembly data. For whatever reason they decided to make X and his armor use a single palette, instead of the usual 2 separate palettes. X on the other hand, required a lot more work.
I rearranged the tiles so the animation will play correctly and added Zero's gem flashing for good measure. Zero was an easy fix, the graphics were simply stored incorrectly and I guess the programmer/artist didn't care. Speaking of adding some polish, they really screwed up the 'injured' graphics for both X and Zero in the intro stage. The goal of this project is fix the flaws and add some polish where needed. Now that I know so much more (and needed a secondary project to work on anyway since I'm getting somewhat burnt out studying SC4's inner workings), I figured it was time for a revisit. I had actually started this project quite a while ago, but dropped it due to my inexperience at the time. I was able to afford a couple of slip ups with slow mode (unlike this flawless example here) and still succeed.Mega Man X5 is the game you want to love, but can't because of some glaring flaws (the biggest being Alia stopping you every five seconds to tell you something).
#Megaman x5 boss level full#
It is in full speed and Sliider is quite adept at quickly running the gauntlet. The first 45 seconds of this video (ALL credit to Sliider of YouTube) show the ideal path and pattern of the lasers. The second section is the most treacherous and longest. Also, when you reach the square block section in the middle of the second vertical drop, landing on top of the first square gives you a chance to take a breath and start your descent with a little more control. You will cling and die, I can't count how many times I died. I highly recommend using Air Dash and that you DO NOT touch the walls. You will continue from the mid level checkpoints as well which is nice. You may die and continue as many times as you like, just get to the boss door without using the Dark Hold with Rookie Hunter Mode disabled. Lasers wont go off until you are in close proximity to the emitter.Īdditionally there is a checkpoint after the first vertical section, where you will find a weapon energy capsule in the left corner, and after the second more difficult vertical section.
If you have played the Quick Man level in Mega Man 2 it's the same idea but way more merciful. For info on how to acquire these parts and access the fortress see the comment section!įrom the start of the level you will face one hit kill laser beams coming from the walls as you descend vertically, and from the floor and ceiling as you navigate the final corridor. This helps a LOT.Īdditionally, I used the Fourth Armor and had the parts JUMPER and HYPER DASH equipped. The parameters for this require you to reach the boss room of the first stage of The Fortress WITHOUT the use of the Dark Hold weapon which freezes time.Īs it says, you CANNOT enable Rookie Hunter Mode, but I unlocked the achievement after setting the Game Speed to Slow from the options menu from the title screen.
