- Mega Man Zero 2 (GBA), no damage taken against Elpizo/Boss Rush (Final Stage/Final Boss) while achieving an S-Rank (100 points); Active Form only. This video's part of a series; a playthrough dedicated to using only the Active Form for more stylish and fresh gameplay. This is a NG+ file.
Elpizo/Boss Rush (Final Stage) Overview:
This didn't outright kill me like Zero 1's final stage did, but I won't lie and say Elpizo and his crew didn't give me a run for my money either. There was actually a point where I felt like I might not have been able to do it under the condition I set for myself (no charged Z-Saber abuse, since every boss here can be fought well without it), and with Active Form not being a form suited for boss battles, that added on more to the pressure. I'm sure if this were a Normal/Rise Form playthrough, I'd tear through this final stage. But this self-imposed challenge showed me just how outclassed Active really is against the bosses in comparison to most other forms (when you aren't abusing charges). But I persevered. What kept me going was this simple thought: "I beat X6, no damage AND without Guard Shell... I can do this".
Before I discuss Elpizo (who isn't really all that bad), let's talk about the Anchus Brothers. Since Kuwagust isn't alone this time, you've got Herculious here to make things complicated. But the general strategy here is to rely on the Shield Boomerang jumping loop tech for the most damage, as well as use it to make Herculious's attack a non-issue. A full cycle will result in an entire bar of HP gone (because they've got 3... but it's shared), however... this is quite the challenge to pull off consistently. You need to throw the boomerang JUST as Kuwagust begins his attack. Do it too early and you won't get that little pull fast enough for the boomerang to fly by you (and instead, it'll just return). Do it too late and you'll get grabbed by Kuwagust without a chance to move. I've only perfected this due to the sheer amount of times I had to retry this stage...
Elpizo: He's not all that bad of a final boss, but he leaves a lot to be desired. Even with Active Form, he goes down easy with chain rod combos. He's also an RNG-reliant boss, but this is yet another case of it done right. Everything he does has the proper start-up time for you to react to whatever he decides to dish out, so the first phase is just a straightforward showdown. His special attack, however, needs some explanation. You see, he flings his sword out based on your current position. If you're WAAAAAAY on the other side, that sword's gonna follow you. If you're up in his face, you'll either get plucked by the sword itself, or it'll be too close to him to jump over. As long as you don't run into the sword beam and the flying debris, this attack isn't difficult to avoid. Just keep in mind where you are.
Final Form Elpizo... lol. Not much to say here. I was just being cautious because I really didn't want to start over, and I saw how amazingly executed this whole take was (I entered Ultra Instinct for real and lost it at that very moment... lol), so I didn't want to drop the ball. He's self-explanatory.

Thanks for tuning in to this run. It was a blast to do. Please leave a like if you enjoyed, and keep an eye out for an update video in the coming days discussing what to expect going forward.
10:43 The scream of sheer _agony_ followed by the distorted 「もっと力をっ！」 ("MOTTO CHIKARA WŌ!", meaning "MORE POWER!") is _always_ terrifying.
A twink at their final form
*Exceptional* fight against the Beetle Bros!
Thanks!
@@MagnusZero I could never get the shield boomerang loop to work against them or in general. So props on that. I wound up no damaging them with sword and blaster + ice chip. Extra speed in Active Form helped greatly. Since I didn't use the shield, I just wound up learning the patterns of bug boy's blaster shots and bait and dashing them.
10:45 gives the marx soul death scream a run for its money, loved the shield boomerang on the brothers and the chain rod in the first refight
Thanks. Those are also my favorite parts.
I think your commentary is just as interesting as your gameplay. I haven't been able to find someone who cares enough about these games to talk in-depth about them, and I find talking about individual stages and bosses quite entertaining (sorry if I sound like a nerd).
Also, shoutout to Zero 2 for making the Shield Boomerang useful.
I appreciate that man. I discovered that truth myself that a lot of people (other Mega Man runners on this site, more specifically) don't put in the effort to share the information that makes these type of runs possible (which leads the viewers to think we don't struggle making these runs). I hope to change that with this run and all the following content I have brewing. If we want the MM fandom to grow, we need to be more transparent and connected with each other.
It was a blast seeing you play this game man. I'm so jealous of your skill to just do this with an S rank and taking no damage. I really can't wait 'till the next run
I appreciate it!
That use of Shield Boomerang against the beetle brothers was beautiful
1:20 I love how you didn't need to do that, but you did it anyway for style points. Remarkable showcase of skill overall with this (and your other videos) so well done!
Can't wait for Zero 3, that one's my favorite
You have good taste.
Its funny, I had more trouble with the brothers than the actual final boss.
Very impressive run especially since you had to put up with the screen crunching goodness of the GBA
Thanks. Yeah, though thankfully the screen crunch isn't much of an issue anymore when memorization kicks in.
Job well done, now get some well deserved R'n'R =D
Really liked this run =) Can't wait what amazing things you have for us in the future =D
Thanks, my dude.
outstanding job dude. Can't wait to see whats next. I really did enjoy this run.
Thanks. Glad it was enjoyable!
This was a great run. Can't wait for the next one
Thanks man.
I know I'm late to the party here but bro your guides helped me no damage 100p all of Zero 1 and 2. Now full disclosure, it is in the Collection that allows save points with no penalty. But otherwise you've been a great help. Can't wait to see how you help me in Zero 3 and 4. Hitting the subscription button. 👍
GG Magnus Zero. Looking forward to our rematches.
Great run Magnus! Your skills are extraordinary and I can't wait for Zero 3. :)
Thanks!
@@MagnusZero No problem! :)
Most impressive.
Geez man, you made it look easy. I struggled so hard to find that little frogs pattern.
Damn, what an amazing run... I'm at a loss of words.
You truly put an amazing job on these series and i truly appreciate it.
(Not wanting to put any pressure but Zero 3 when?)
Thanks for watching, man. As for Z3, I'll be addressing that in the upcoming update video.
This level theme is cool
Amazing run, for me the platforming in this stage was painful, the lowish field of vision in the zero games make it hard
Pro 😎
Wait...was that pheonix doing the psycho crusher from alpha 3?
Lee: Jacky what's wrong?
Jacky: 10:43
Elpizo is such a joke of a boss, still harder than the Life Virus at least.
That's true . I had more trouble fighting COPY X in zero 1 than fighting elpizo
Wouldn't it be quicker to kill Hyleg Ourobockle by triple slashing? If not, why?
This was an Active Form Only run. You can't triple slash with it.
Ah, yes, I forgot. Sorry. I can't believe I just finished the game again and forgot about that. INCREDIBLE RUN, btw.
Fun fact the Complete Workd Collection reveals Poler's a girl
Looks like Zero at Ultra Instinct!
"DARK ELF GIVE ME POWER!"
"... ... ..."
"THAT'S RIGHT, ZERO, I'M A WALL NOW! HAHAHAHAHA!"
Also, amazing run :)
Mmzo moment
We need Model E for Megaman ZX
Oto ikenai....
10:43
Can we get a solute for this run?
General's got us covered.
And first dislike from this video is from Master Elpizo
trust me and believe me you are more skilled than Omegan Zero and Zero and model X and HX and ZX and PX and LX and FX combined
I always use this form while doing action, untill boss fight..... And I'm gonna try out you skill, A looping Boomerang shield
