Wily Capsule (Mega Man 7)

Wily Capsule (Mega Man 7) No wonder Mega Man wanted to kill Dr. Wily after this battle. Type: Boss Appearance: mh:awesomegames:Mega Man 7 Franchise: Mega Man Previous Level: Wily Machine 7

The Wily Capsule is the second phase of Dr. Wily, and overall the fourteenth (thirteenth if the Wily Machine 7 is considered as part of the boss fight) and final boss from Mega Man 7.

This boss is considered to be one of the toughest bosses (right up there with Yellow Devil and Boobeam Trap), due to its high difficulty, and is often considered by many as one of, if not THE hardest final boss in the entire Mega Man series.

Why It Sucks

1. This battle takes place right after the battle with Wily Machine 7, so unless you have E-Tanks you have no way to heal.
   • And before that fight you must refight all eight Robot Masters.
2. The energy orbs that Wily fires are difficult to dodge, as they can somewhat home in on you.
3. In addition to the energy orbs being hard to avoid, they also have elements, both of which are dangerous:
   • Ice orbs can freeze you in place, leaving you wide open to other attacks.
   • Fire orbs can burn you, and not only can they stun you, but you also get constant damage.
   • Electric orbs are the only ones that don't stun you. These are the only ones you want to get hit by.
4. The Wily Capsule can also launch four lightning balls on the ground, which means that you could potentially be able to dodge the homing orbs, only to then get hit by the ground lightning balls.
5. The Wily Capsule's weakness is the Wild Coil, which is the worst weapon in the game, as it is difficult to aim properly.
6. The Wily Capsule will always teleport around. Not only can he teleport from a far location, but it can also do contact damage.
7. The Wily Capsule can also shock the ground and create energy balls from the ground that are hard to avoid.
8. The damage you take is unfair and sadistic.
9. And here's the real kicker: according to Yoshihisa Tsuda, it turned out as tough as it did because Keiji Inafune said, "Let's make the very last fight insanely hard!". In other words, they made it intentionally hard.

Redeeming Qualities

1. Despite the frustrating battle, the boss theme is awesome and pretty fitting.
2. You can force him to cancel the orb attack by hitting him with Cloud Man's weapon (The Thunder Bolt); however, only if he isn't at a high altitude or you will not be able to land a shot.
3. The Wily Capsule has a really awesome design.
4. You get a very in-depth ending after the battle.
