Vile Stage (VAVAステージ VAVA Sutēji) is a short optional stage in Mega Man X3 that features Vile MK-II as a boss. It is a broken-down factory that Vile attempts to destroy along with X.
Description[]
Access[]
After defeating two of the eight bosses, warp capsules leading to Vile's stage will appear in three specific stages. The capsules disappear after Vile's stage is cleared or when the eight bosses are defeated.
|
Shipyard Stage (Crush Crawfish's stage) |
| Behind a wall from the area with ladders. | |
|
Power Control Center Stage (Volt Catfish's stage) |
| Under the first elevator, which will only move when the capsule is present. | |
|
Frozen Town Stage (Blizzard Buffalo's stage) |
| Inside a pit in the end of the area with Ice De Voux. |
Stage[]
The stage is set inside an abandoned factory that Vile set up as a trap for X. It is a dilapidated factory full of falling debris and old machinery. If the player has defeated Volt Catfish, the stage's electricity will be activated and its two elevators will be functional, giving X a safe ride up the elevator shafts. When X finds Vile, he reveals that the factory is set to self-destruct in a matter of minutes, and keeps him busy to make sure he won't escape. After X defeats Vile, X has 50 seconds to escape from the factory before it is too late and he dies in the blast. After escaping, X returns to the stage from which he accessed the teleporter capsule.
If the player doesn't access the stage or defeats Vile without the Special Weapon that is his weakness, Vile will escape and appears as the boss from Doppler Stage B. If Vile is defeated with his weakness (Spinning Blade or Ray Splasher), he will be destroyed and Volt Kurageil appears in his place in the Doppler Stage, and the stage will also have the sub-boss Mosquitus, allowing X to obtain Zero's saber.
