To Start
- You must have liberated Neo Arcadia
Part One: Locked Out
Go back to Neo Arcadia, to the room where you were captured by Homeschool. Examine the bed to find a portal. Jump in to get to a new area. The area is a garden, with flowers blooming everywhere.Go through the garden to find the a large cross-shaped building called the X Citadel, the main stronghold of Master X. Go around the tower to find a switch. Operate the switch to open the door to the tower.
Part Two: Heating Up
Head foward through the doors. You'll come to an area with spiked platforms over hot metal. Jump on the platforms, but watch out for the hot steam they blast. Glascannons will harrass you here. Next is an area where you have to take out the Valiant Fires and the Fire Golems to pass. Defeat them all and do 3 following rooms the same. Near the end, you'll enter an area with Plasma Cannon Pantheons and Pantheon Hammers. Defeat them all, save, and enter the gate. You'll soon come to an area with a red door. However, this monster truck/4-cannoned tank with a stylized Pantheon head will roll in. He will introduce itself as the X Empire's Fire Guardian and then attack.
Fire Guardian HP: 3000 Attacks: Vital Burner, Fire Ring, Magma Bombs, Acceleration, Whiplash Strategy: This guy is a little tough, but easy. His Vital Burner is really hard to dodge, though. His Fire Rings are easily avoided, and his Magma Bombs are also easy. His only attack you should watch out for is his Acceleration attack(no way to dodge!). When he has only 1000 HP left, he'll start using his Whiplash attack, which is similar to the Heavy Lourde 486's Recoil. Use Water attacks to defeat him.
When he's defeated, he'll explode and his remains will clatter to the floor, defeated. Examine the door to open it. Now, exit the Fire Temple and enter the Ice Temple.
Part Three: Cooling Off
Head foward through the doors. You'll come to an area that is frozen. Defeat the Icedozers and enter the door. Next are four rooms where you have to take out the Pantheon Aquas and the Ice Golems, like in the Fire Temple. In fact, this is exactly like the fire temple, only with ice. You know what's coming next! A manta Pantheon!
Ice Guardian HP: 3000 Attacks: Essencial Frost, Circle of Ice, Ice Bombs, Acceleration, Frostinova Strategy: This guy is exactly like the Fire Guardian, only with ice. He even shares one of his attacks! Use the same strategy you used against the Fire Guardian. Remember to use fire attacks.
A door will open up, and you'll go to the top of the citadel.
Part Four: The Cloudy Stone
Find the stone at the far edge of the roof. If you look closely, you can see a chunk of it is missing. Use the stone you got while liberating Neo Arcadia on it to complete the stone. Another vortex will appear on the stone. Go into it, but the third guardian stops you. This one is a bird/jet Pantheon.
Wind Guardian HP:3000 Attacks: Strong Gust, Goro Lightning, Hurricane Dash, Acceleration, Wisp Missle, Magnet Typhoon Strategy: This guy is HARD. Strong Gust can push you to the edges of the arena, Goro Lightning is unpredictable, his Hurricane Dash makes him get cheap shots, his Acceleration may instantly kill a party member, his Wisp Missle is small and hard to dodge, and his Magnet Typhoon is... well... hard. Use the element that Wind is weak to.
Now enter the warp.
Part Five: The Mysterious Shrine
You will find yourself on a cloud. The real citadel is in front of you. It looks like a pagoda with a dark cloud at the top. You'll notice the top of a space elevator on one part of the cloud. If you want to return to Neo Arcadia, enter this elevator and choose down. Circle around to the back of the citadel to find three switches. First activate the right one, then the left one, then the middle one, then all at once. The door to the citadel will appear.
Part Six: Tower of Power
From the start, head up the spiral staircase. Next, you'll enter an area where you have to jump on rising platforms to reach the top. But watch out, because Pantheons and Plasma Cannon Pantheons will try and snipe you. After that, you'll enter a large elevator where you have to defeat Pantheon Aces one by one until you defeat 20 of them. After that, you'll enter an area with spiral staircases and rising platforms. After that, there's one more elevator section and a spiral staircase until you reach a big door with an "X" insignia on it. Enter it and you'll reach the inner sanctum of Master X...
Part Seven: Ultimate Evil
You'll be in Master X's throne room. Just head foward on the blue carpet until you reach a large, X-shaped throne. On it is Master X. He'll congadulate you on managing to reach his throne room, but this is where Homestar and his friends' journey will end. He says that they should be honored to be defeated by Neo Arcadia's king. He then gets off his throne and gains spiky gold armor and a wing-shaped jetpack. The battle then commences.
Master X HP:2000, 5000 Attacks: X-Cannon, Gilded Claw,Shotgun Ice, Crystal Hunter, Frost Shield, Frost Tower, Ice Burst, Fire Wave, Speed Burner, Rising Fire, Ground Fire, Magma Blade, Energy Spark, Triad Thunder, Lightning Web, Tri-Thunder, Ultimate X Strategy: There is no way to defeat Master X's first form. Don't even try to put up a fight. When he defeats you, he will become a seraph. Stinkoman will jump in. He will revive your party and watch the fight, commenting that "Master X is rightfully your challenge." Use your strongest attacks to bring his health down. Watch out for his X-Cannon attack. He might be hard to hit, since he is constantly hovering above the arena. He switches his elements in this order: No Element, Fire, Ice, Thunder, and then it goes back to No Element. Hit him with the proper elemental attacks when he has an element. When he gets down to 100 HP, he will use Ultimate X, which automatically kill everyone. This is unavoidable. Stinkoman will decide to defeat Master X himself. You will gain control of Stinkoman. Use Double Deuce and he will die.
Upon defeating Master X, you have saved 20X6 from his threat. Exit the citadel.
Part Eight: Victory!
Return to Neo Arcadia. You will notice that the once dark sky is now clear. Talk to King of World. He will congradulate you on defeating Master X, and tell you that there is something strange happening on a space ship, the S.S. 40X9. He tells you to go to it and find out what's wrong. He will also reward you with $1000!
