"I will smite the worthless vermin down below... Lord Weil came up with a plan as beautiful as myself. All ugly things must bow down before me!"
—Pegasolta Eclair, Mega Man Zero 4

Pegasolta Eclair (ペガソルタ・エクレール) is one of the Einherjar Eight Warriors in Mega Man Zero 4, a Mutos Reploid based on the flying horse Pegasus from Greek mythology. He occupies the Hanging Gardens, a flying fortress equipped with weather control machines to create acid rain and lighting storms over Area Zero.

History[]

Pegasolta Eclair was previously in charge of the Hanging Gardens for peaceful purposes, but always dreamed of being assigned to combat. Once Dr. Weil came into rule of Neo Arcadia, he saw this ambition, and redesigned Pegasolta for battle and transferred him to a combat squad.

Pegasolta is first shown alongside the other Einherjar, berating Popla Cocapetri for not being back on time. He is disappointed when Craft orders them to stand down and let Zero live for now.

He then returns to the Hanging Gardens, threatening to harm Area Zero's natural environments with acid rain and thunderstorms. Upon facing Zero, Pegasolta calls Operation Ragnarok beautiful and expresses disgust for the humans for not appreciating Dr. Weil's rule. He is destroyed, despite believing he was too beautiful to die.

Pegasolta is revived in Ragnarok to prevent Zero from reaching Weil. He compares the fall of Ragnarok to the fall of Eurasia centuries prior, upon his defeat showing shock and horror that Zero is still trying to save the world.

Strategy[]

This is one of the few bosses in the whole franchise that can dodge player's attack on purpose. While he rests between his attacks, Pegasolta hovers in the air. During that period, unless the attack is timed correctly, Pegasolta can dodge all shape-based attacks by hovering up a little bit while laughing. Other than that he is pretty much vulnerable to charged Saber attacks and non-elemental buster shots during his attack phases.

Pegasolta Eclair is weak against the Ice Blade and the Ice Javelin, but using both of them against Eclair is extremely hard, due to first one being a ground-based attack against a flying boss and the latter one has an extremely slow travel time to give Pegasolta enough time to dodge. A well-placed strike against him with the latter attack will result in 15 bars of his health being shaved off, but since pulling this off is hard, it's better to use charged attacks against him. If he is struck by the Ice Blade or Ice Javelin attempting to catch Zero with his V Gallop attack, he will be stunned.

Attack Description Notes
Lightning Assault Pegasolta flies in a zigzag pattern trying to stab Zero with his swords.
Thunder Ceptor Pegasolta launches two electric spears at Zero; if both of them land on solid ground, a bolt of lightning appears between the two and causes damage.
V Gallop Pegasolta swoops down and tries to kick Zero aside. This can push Zero off the platforms and into the bottomless pit below. However, with timing, the player can Wall Kick off one of the platforms to avoid falling.
Thunder Guillotine Pegasolta emits two long lines of electricity, one horizontal and one diagonally, while floating down towards the ground. The only way to avoid damage is a well-timed dash on the central (lower) platform.
EX Skill: Thunder Blast Pegasolta electrifies and charges himself at Zero at full speed.

Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works bio[]

Formerly a Reploid charged with the maintenance of a large, airborne weather control station, he was redesigned for combat when Weil seized control of Neo Arcadia and transferred to a combat squad - an assignment he had long desired. Thanks to his ability to fly, he is very agile, which he combines with the lightning lances on both of his arms when fighting. With a suave and confident personality, he likes beautiful things and high places.

Pegasolta Eclair's wings are mobile, and can be used to fly.

Other appearances[]

  • Pegasolta Eclair is as an optional boss in Area N of Mega Man ZX. The player must have the Mega Man Zero 4 cartridge inserted into the Nintendo DS's Game Boy Advance slot for the battle to take place, or by activating the Zero 4 link in the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection re-release.

Etymology[]

  • Pegasolta Eclair's first name is derived from the Pegasus from Greek mythology, while his second name comes from the French word "éclair" meaning lightning.

Trivia[]

  • Pegasolta Eclair may be inspired by Spiral Pegasus from Mega Man X5. Both are pegasus-like Reploids fought in the skies during their battles against Zero, all the while the games themselves deal with a life-threatening scenario of a Space Colony/Orbital Satellite drop upon the Earth (Eurasia and Ragnarok respectively). Pegasolta even notes during his rematch against Zero that Ragnarok falling is like the Maverick Wars all over again.
