Details
The first phase of this fight takes place againt the green Emain Macha. It will move from one side to the other while shooting explosives from its turret into the sky that fall to the ground and burst into flames, damaging the player if they touch it. In addition, bazooka rebel soldiers will constantly spawn and fire at the player until the the tank is defeated. Luckily, the green Emain Macha is slow both in moving and its rate of fire, allowing the player to easily avoid its attacks. It can only be damaged by hitting the turret, which is its only weak spot.
When the first tank is destroyed, the red Emain Macha will take its place, initiating the second phase of the battle. The red variant moves faster and its firing rate is quicker than that of the first tank, and also uses bazooka rebel soldiers. As well as firing more explosives, it will use a manueveur where it goes to one end of the screen and drives to the other, firing multiple shots as it moves creating a line of fire. The player must run away from that side of the screen to avoid being engulfed in flames.
Yellow rebels will occasionly spawn in on top of the tanks. Killing them will make them drop a Laser gun, making this fight much easier to win. Any of the Slug tanks (Except Slug Gunner) will making defeating Emain Macha much easier. Defeating this boss in a quick period of time will unlock the Emain Macha Card.
