Metal Valley

"Quell the Reploid rebellion at the Metal mine."

- Stage description

Metal Valley is Earthrock Trilobyte's stage in Mega Man X8. It is a mine built into a valley located somewhere in North America, possibly Canada or eastern Alaska.

Description
The stage begins with the Hunters being pursued by a large berserk Mechaniloid, Yellow Brontes. At first it will relentlessly pursue them through the valley, until they reach a dead-end and use a crane to hit it in the head three times. The Yellow Brontes will then begin to flee, prompting the Hunters to give chase. It enters a large hangar - when they enter, they are trapped in a sub-boss room with either Vile or Earthrock Trilobyte attacking them using Crystal Walls from afar. Once they reach the hangar, they again use cranes to damage the Yellow Brontes' head until it is rendered inoperable. They then gain access to Earthrock Trilobyte's boss room.
