Dark Moon (ダークムーン Dāku Mūn) is a devil type robot boss from Mega Man V, making his debut after the defeat of the first four Stardroids, where Terra orders Dark Moon to destroy Mega Man to avenge his fallen comrades. Dark Moon is five blocks tall.

Mega Man V[]

Dark Moon is the boss of the Middle Stage, which is accessed right after defeating the first four Stardroids.

Attack pattern[]

Dark Moon attacks by separating his body into parts that move one by one to the other side of the screen. Unlike the other devils, Dark Moon's body parts fly off-screen and he forms his full body offscreen. Here is the pattern:

13 9 4 X
12 7 5 X
15 11 8 1
16 14 6 2
10 X X

3

The lowest row of body parts can be avoided by jumping, while the second lowest row can be dodged by sliding. The third, fourth and fifth will always be high enough to miss automatically. After full forming off-screen, he advances five steps to appear onscreen, and opens his eye to shoots three energy shots, similar to that of Yellow Devil MK-II. All of these energy shots are aimed at Mega Man's position. Like many Devils, he can only be damaged in the eye, this time only when it is opened. He then splits himself again in the same pattern for the rest of the fight. However, from this point onwards, the two highest rows of body parts will bounce forward to hit Mega Man. They move at a fast enough speed that they will only bounce 1 time before leaving the screen, and can be avoided by staying far away.

Weaknesses[]

Dark Moon is weak to Photon Missile, which defeats him in 7 hits. The missiles can be set up before he opens his eye to damage him preemptively. With skillful use of the Photon Missile, it may be possible to hit him up to 3 times. As with most bosses, Dark Moon takes 3 damage from the Mega Arm.

Dark Moon is also weak to Electric Shock, which also does 3 damage. However, because this weapon is obtained after Dark Moon's defeat, it can only be used with a cheat device.

Other Media[]

In the Mega Man Gigamix manga series, Dark Moon appears as a moon summoned by Terra to feed off the hope and despair of the people, steadily growing larger in the process. After Terra's defeat, Dark Moon opens up, revealing itself to be the incubator for Sunstar.
