He dwells within the Deep Forest, and acts somewhat like a medieval knight. He is one of three [[Red Alert]] members who is fully aware that he is being manipulated by "[[Sigma|the Professor]]" (the other two being [[Red]] and [[Tornado Tonion]]). However, unlike the other two, he doesn't seem to regret being used for evil (something noted by and scolded by [[Axl]]), as he only fights for loyalty, not justice.

"We...We have already strayed from the path. Now all we can do is stay true to our beliefs, wherever they might lead us."
―Soldier Stonekong, Mega Man X7

Soldier Stonekong (ソルジャー・ストンコング Sorujā Sutonkongu) is a gorilla-based Reploid and one of the Mavericks in Mega Man X7.

He dwells within the Deep Forest, and acts somewhat like a medieval knight. He is one of three Red Alert members who is fully aware that he is being manipulated by "the Professor" (the other two being Red and Tornado Tonion). However, unlike the other two, he doesn't seem to regret being used for evil (something noted by and scolded by Axl), as he only fights for loyalty, not justice.

Strategy

This battle takes place on what is basically a 2-D arena wrapped around into a ring. Stonekong will run around this ring. He has a large stone sword, as well as his Gaea Shield. His sword can be destroyed, and this may make things easier.

  • Right from start of battle, he will rush towards the player. Quickly dash jump to the left, or double-jump over him (if the player is using Zero) to avoid a hit, then fire at him or slash him again.
  • His second attack involves him releasing his shield and letting it fly around the arena once. Jump over it to dodge it (Zero's double-jump makes this easier). When he's standing still, use rapid fire to lower his life quickly or slash him with the Z-Saber as much as possible before the shield returns.
  • His third attack involves him jumping up and latching onto the cylinder-like obstacle in the center of the ring. Stonekong will then create a huge rock which will split in two, each part flying in opposite directions around the arena. They'll break just before they make contact with each other, allowing the player to avoid being hit by the rocks if they're right between the parts as they break; another way to dodge this attack is to use Zero's double-jump to jump over them, or have Axl roll through them.
  • As long as Stonekong has his sword equipped, if the player stands too close to him, he will raise his sword and slash at them; this attack does considerable damage, so watch out. If using Zero, his Hadangeki will cause Stonekong to slip and fall. Hit him with the G-Launcher to lower his health rapidly (since Explosion can only be fired twice, the G-Launcher alone is best, as it can be used indefinitely).
