Well guys, the Enigma has finally been solved! Here's how to make it always work, with 0 Parts, on every release of Mega Man X5!
Mega Man X5: How to GUARANTEE Enigma Cannon Success with 0 PARTS, on EVERY Console!
Volunteers (credited at the end of the description) have tested this on every single console — it always succeeded, even with 0 Parts. Just follow the video and you will too! This is extremely useful, for the following reasons.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) You can earn the "Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire" achievement on Legacy Collection.
2) Speedruns are now viable without needing to play the Playstation or X-Collection versions (which used the Demo to get the RNG right).
3) You can immediately get the Ultimate Armor from the capsule in Zero Virus Stage 3 without fear of getting locked into the Bad Ending. Just stomp the final level and enjoy the Good Ending!
4) This also speeds up 100% runs, thanks to having the Ultimate Armor. Just get Black Zero & Ultimate Armor, then collect all armor parts, items, and collectibles from the first 8 mavericks!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So to re-iterate the video, here are the instructions:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Start a new game, play the intro level, beat Sigma, and save your game immediately (unless you're on Xbox One — in that case, get one game-over in Squid Adler/Volt Kraken's stage before saving).
Step 2: Restart your game, load your save file, then enter Volt Kraken
Step 3: Hold the following arrows to lose six lives (with one Continue used) via Volt Kraken's instant death pits.
---PS1: → → Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing
---PS2, GameCube, & PS4: → ← ← ← ← ←
---All Other Versions: → ← Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing
Step 4: Fire the cannon and watch the Space Colony blow up!

PS4: Kino
Switch: B-0, Sotenga, & MisterMatthias
