Magna Quartz (マグナクオーツ Magunakuōtsu) is the mid-boss of Crystal Snail's stage in Mega Man X2. It is an eye-shaped machine encased inside a large crystal quartz and accompanied by a small machine (that could possibly be called Savor Moon R) which flies around the room, shooting lasers that ricochet several times. Another machine is sent out by Magna Quartz after enough time passes.
To defeat Magna Quartz, the player must focus on the crystal itself, as its tiny robots cannot be destroyed. Silk Shot is its primary weakness. Spin Wheel is also useful against Magna Quartz, causing continuous damage as it tears through the mid-boss. It is also possible to bring the Rabbit Ride Armor to the mid-boss room, but it requires carefully destroying only a few of the crystal blocks leading up to the room and some tricky jumping. The Ride Armor's charging attack can destroy the Magna Quartz in seconds.
