The first phase of this level is the "board". It's pretty obvious and never changes. If you don't get it the first few times, just memorize it. Once Xolotl get back on his tall column he will roll the giant spiked pin towards you. strafe to one side as soon as the spikes drop and then behind the pin before they pop up again. Just don't let it hit you.
Second phase. Pretty simple again. The first time I tried it I just strafed back and forth and let the poison pods kill every thing. Of course it will go much faster if you blow them all up with your awesome Shotty.
Third phase. Platform with lava all around. Needless to say, don't fall off. Save those ammo and health refills til you NEED them. Xolotl will throw fire balls in your direction. I stood on the stairs right in front of him and just whaled on him with the shotgun. I only got hit by the fire balls a couple of times. Once he dies he will send 2 big lava dudes. They are easy prey with the high powered shotgun. If you run out of ammo, just dodge their attacks and keep dropping bombs between them. when they die they drop ammo and health and you can easily get back on track to killing the next wave of them that comes.
After a few of those have been ushered out by way of the bullet, Xolotl will drop more flaming rocks on you. This time from above. I ran around the platform clockwise and never got hit. He will start to appear on the platform with you. Unload on him with the shotgun and in no time he will be dead.
Done and done. Again, Shotgun. Maybe there is a better gun that I haven't unlocked yet, but this one worked just fine.
Ammo is a problem only on the last part. (Before there is full recharge between each steps)

Story related. This is achieved by defeating the final boss in the last level, Xolotl's Stronghold. Equipping good Relics and Weapons such as Jade Heart, Chain Gun, and especially Fist of Tezcatlipoca will make this very easy. This boss fight is divided into 3 phases.
1st Phase: You be standing on a floor filled with spike traps. Any tile has a blue circle blinking on it will have a spike trap emerged very shortly after. Xolotl will appear on 1 of the 2 platforms on either side of the floor and you will need to target him to take him down. Spiders will also appear intermittently to disrupt your flow. I find the chaingun very efficient here with its High Damage and Rate of Fire. You will need to takedown his health bar entirely twice here.
2nd Phase: Next, you will move to a section filled with exploding plants. Xolotl will attempt to jump ontop of you. Move near a group of plants and when you see a black shadow appear, move away. He will land near the plants and take some damage. Take this opportunity to fill him with lead. When you have depleted his health bar once, he starts summoning various minons to disrupt you. Once again, I recommend the chaingun. He will eventually start moving around like before and you just need to deplete his health bar a second time here.
3rd Phase: Afterwards, you move on to a section surrounded by Lava. Lava rocks will drop from above intermittently and you just need to roll in a circle to avoid them. Xolotl will appear on a platform to the North, so use the Chaingun and put some holes in him. Deplete his health bar once, and he will summon Lava Golems. Take them out. Next, he starts jumping around like before and you just need to take him out like a routine to send him back to wherever he came from.
