Lava Factory

"The lava energy factory suffered an attack. Recapture it from the enemy!"

- Stage description

Lava Factory is Flame Hyenard's stage in Mega Man X7. It is a lava-based energy factory located in southern Africa, near Angola.

Description
The stage begins with a 2D segment full of time bombs that threaten to detonate and kill nearby Rescuable Reploids, if the Reploids are not rescued in time. After proceeding through this section of the stage, the Maverick Hunters enter a teleporter that transports them into a large vat of lava. This segment is in 3D, and involves moving across connected platforms in the lava towards a second teleporter. This entire segment can be skipped through use of the Glide Armor Leg Parts, which allow X to fly over the lava and directly to the end.

 * Metall S

Items

 * Arm Parts: After defeating the second Dragon Blaster, climb down to find the capsule.
 * Heart Tank: In the second segment, jump onto a pipe near the lava to find a Heart Tank between spurts of dangerous gas.
