Once you're ready head through the door at the end of the corridor. You can always jump over and attack it from behind.


Watch out for the attacking Reploid ahead, he'll be armed with a heavy shield which you can't break without stronger attacks like Zero's Juuhazan. Stepping on these platforms causes them to slowly drop into the hole, so you can risk grabbing some of the Metals before quickly jumping back up to the motionless remaining platforms.īeyond this shaft on the right you'll find a corridor safely leading you out of the bottomless shaft. Eventually you'll reach the bottom to discover a line of platforms with Metals floating about below them. Take care around any laser turrets firing continuous streams of energy, use the platforms and crates for cover while passing by. Not far down you'll find crates sitting atop the platforms, just watch out for the explosive variant. Axl's hover ability will often help out here, as you can hover in the air while waiting for a safe place to land. Bear in mind too that you'll take damage if you go up beyond the top of the screen, so you'll need to time your jumps down to lower platforms as they appear. Keep atop the platforms and watch out for floating turrets. Take care while descending and make certain you don't fall into the hole below or it's all over. Here the screen will automatically pan down while you scramble to remain atop one of the many floating platforms you'll encounter. You'll begin by falling through a huge hole into the first giant shaft. For the majority of the this stage you'll be descending massive magma exhaust shafts to seek out the stage's boss in the bowels of the mountain.
