Mega Man X Legacy Collection

X Challenge mode pits X against a gauntlet of bosses, fighting two Mavericks at once, in sets of three for a total of 6 bosses that must be beaten in each challenge. Before going into the gauntlet, you can select 3 power up weapons. You’d be wise to pick one weapon weakness for each pair of Mavericks, because it’s much easier to get rid of one fast and deal with the other than leave them both in indefinitely.

Each challenge will shuffle the available weapons at your exposure. Fortunately, every Maverick weakness weapon is available for selection for that challenge. Some weapons, such as Fire Wave or Speed Burner, are effective against multiple bosses too.

Easy mode allows you a full health and weapon energy recharge in between every 1v2 match. Every boss can be beaten by brute force, even with just the X-Buster.

You can do this all on easy difficulty. You don’t have to suffer through any higher modes. I recommend making changes to the controls, such as moving the Special Weapon from to and perhaps the Dash to . If you like dash where it is, then move Special Weapon to , because is just awkward to reach.

Beating this mode will put you into the credits. Refer to Identity Erased . Hard mode and Practice mode are also unlocked. Finally, a new track in the music player will unlock. Refer to Audio Signal Incoming

The trophy will pop after the credits when you get to the Total Score screen.
