「ロックマンX2」Rockman X2 Playthrough (JP, English Translation) - Part 5, Metamor Mothmeanos

For the translation, be sure to turn on the captions! X2’s translation was done by keekiyasan. I took it from his personal blog since he allowed me to do so. Check the man out! --------------------- Not gonna lie, I was kinda excited to go to repliroid graveyard. This stage is probably one of the longer ones in this game, and its atmosphere still managed to freak me out a bit even though I knew that Mothmeanos is a scav. The stage starts outside of the main building where you can see mountains of dead mechaniloid and repliroid bodies. You can also see some poor replioids hanging on gallows with the wind gently blowing their lifele-- Oh, Frick, they are still alive! Yeah, here’s the answer to “can you hang a repliroid“ question... The way those fricks follow you is also a bit freaky. And I guess repliroids’ heads can still function for some time after they get seperated from the body? Jeez, this is messed up. And it’s only the beginning of X-series, it will all go down much fruther as the time goes on and new series get introduced. Before entering the building, you can make a platform out of Discboy with the help of Cristar Mymine’s weapon to get a Heart-Tank, but I didn’t have that so I skipped it for now. Once you enter inside, you can break some floor tiles with Spinning Wheel in order to get to the Body Parts. I have no idea how do you suppose to figure this out on your own. Some guides were telling me that the breakable tiles have slightly different coloring, but for the love of everything, I can’t see the difference here at all. Anyway, now the damage dealt to X will be halved and we can use Giga Crush!.. that X wastes on nothing during the skill showcase. Thanks. Then we have two fights with some pararoid controlling Old Robot, a bunch of other pararoids after this (taking control over player’s movement for some time), some more magnetic fields and trash mechaniloids and then... finally, we can fight the boss. Metamor Mothmeanos is a... pupa? Oh, it turns into a moth at the start of Overdrive. Now I get it. His weakness is Rushing Burner (Speed Burner) because... fire is super-effective against bug-types. This boss isn’t that easy actually. In fact, what you see is my second attempt at beating this stage. I actually hvae beaten it first try, but I thought that I can do it even better, so... I did. I don’t know why localization team called his weapon “Silk Shot“ if it’s just a bunch of trash glued together... Ahem. We get Scrap Shoot from Mothmeanos and head to the next stage... which took me a really long time to get through...
