======================================================================
1)- Getting started
======================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Welcome to the wonderful world of Metroid! Er, Metroid Prime. You
control the female antagonist Samus in her quest to rid the universe
of the Space Pirates and Metroids. In the Prime series though, your
goal changes a bit and is more about the elimination of Metroid Prime,
and the eradication of Phazon from known space.
======================================================================
1.1)- Controls
======================================================================
Wii Remote:
A - Fire (hold to charge shots)
B - Jump (press again to double-jump)
D pad:
Down - Fire Missile
Up - Take Screenshot (if unlocked)
- - Hold to bring up visor selection screen
+ - Hold to active Hypermode
1 - Brings up map screen and options menu
2 - Gives you a hint at your current objective
Pointer - Aim/turn
Motion sensors:
When interacting with objects, twist/push/pull accordingly
When in morph ball mode, pull upward to jump
Nunchuk:
Joy stick - walk/sidestep
C - Activate morph ball mode
Z - Hold to Lock-on
Motion sensors:
When locked on to a grapple object, cast forward to throw lasso, pull
back to pull the object
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1.1)- Control Options
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The functions of the A and B buttons can be swapped.
- The functions of - and + can be swapped.
- There are 3 different levels of turning sensitivity in the options
menu: Basic, Standard, and Advanced.
Basic makes you turn very slowly, having to point to the very edges of
the screen to turn.
Standard is a bit quicker, but can still be slow in some situation.
Advanced is by far the best for vets of the FPS genre. You turn very
quickly, but can be disorienting until you get used to it.
- Wii remote sensitivity setting can cancel out interference if your
targeting reticule seems to be jumping everywhere. This option can be
reached by pressing the Home button on the Wii Remote and selecting
Wii Remote Settings. The lower the sensitivity, the more IR light
needs to be present before the pointer will sense motion. If you sit
really far away from your TV, you should turn the sensitivity all the
way up.
- Free lock-on, unless you're a really bad shot, should be turned on.
Free lock-on means that if you lock on to an enemy, your screen will
turn to keep pace with him, but you are free to move your targeting
reticule anywhere on screen, allowing for more precise shots. If this
feature is off, when you lock onto a target your reticule will also
follow him and sometimes make boss fights a bit more complicated.
======================================================================

======================================================================
1.3)- Basic Gameplay
======================================================================
The basic gameplay in Metroid Prime is pretty much a free-roam FPA.
This means you are free to roam in any area, at any time, provided you
have the upgrades necessary to get there and the current mission
permits, and it's in the first-person perspective.
The main object is normally get to a certain location and activate
some device to help you reach the main boss and causing massive damage
to the Space Pirates while doing so.
To accomplish this, you use a variety of devices integrated into your
Power Suit, most of which you'll pick up in the course of the game.
This includes an arm-mounted energy cannon, missiles, bombs, and
grapples.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.1)- Heads Up Display
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Otherwise known as a HUD, your heads up display tells you whats going
on with your suit and your surroundings. The HUD in Metroid Prime 3 is
pretty self explanatory.
Top left of screen ----------------------------------------- Top right
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OO / \
OOOO ************** 3 | 5 |

OOOO \ /

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bottom left --------------------------------------------- Bottom right
1) Radar: Radar tells you if there are enemies nearby. You are the dot
in the center, while orange dots are enemies around you. Note that
the radar is indiscriminate to walls and such, so it may be picking
up an enemy on the other side of a door.
2) Current Health: Your health is represented by the number to the
right of the health bar. 100 is a full tank of energy, while 00 is
empty. If your tank hits zero and you have no extra Tanks left, its
game over.
3) Energy Tanks: while your health bar maxes out at 100, you can carry
even more via Energy Tanks. How many spare Tanks you have is
represented by small cubes over your health bar. A full cube equals
100 energy, while an empty cube means 0. If the tank your are
currently using hits zero, a spare tank will automatically be
loaded. Tanks can be refilled by collecting health. If you collect
more the 100 health in one tank, you will start to fill up the next
tank.
4) Health Bar: in addition to the number on the left, your health is
also indicated by a bar. It means the exact same thing as the
number, just in bar form.
5) Map: your map gives you a 3-D perspective of the room you're in, as
well as any surrounding rooms. The green arrow represents you.
6) Targeting Reticule: Marks where you're aiming.
7) Missile Ammo: Very simple. Top number is how many missiles you
have, bottom number is the maximum amount you can carry.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.2)- Interactive Devices
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Interactive devices are new to Prime 3. They allow you to "interact"
with them in other ways then just shooting them (as in more Metroid
games). They vary in use, but are normally found in 4 forms:
Hand Scanner:
Walk up and press A to place your left hand on the scanner. Normally
used to activate doors and lifts.
Manual Lock:
Walk up and press A to grab it. Pull the Wii remote back, twist either
clockwise or counterclockwise, then push back in. Most often used for
early locked areas and retrieving Energy Cells.
Password Terminal:
Walk up and press A to activate. The center will have a grouping of
letters. Point and press the letters on the outside in the same order.
Note that some of these terminals (especially Space Pirate versions)
are X-ray encrypted, meaning they can only be used when looking
through the X-ray visor.
Dial Lock:
Walk up and press A to interact. Twist the Wii Remote to line up the
notches with the protrusions on the twisty part. When one is lined up,
press A to insert, then move on to the next until the rings are
complete. Note, like Password Terminals, these can be X-ray encrypted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.3)- Energy Tanks, Missiles, Gunship Missiles, and Energy Cells
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh my! >.>
Ok, four types of powerups in the game:
Energy Tanks, Missiles, Gunship Missiles, and Energy Cells.
Energy Tanks are greenish blue cylinders. When you pick them up, they
will add 100 points to your overall health (one square over your
health bar).
Missile Expansions look like large missiles in a tube and will add 5
to your overall missile capacity.
Gunship Missile Expansions are pretty useless, but needed for 100%
completion. They add 1 to the total number of missiles your ship can
carry.
Energy Cells are a pretty new way of thinking: they power things.
Energy Cells look a lot like Energy Tanks. They aren't a suit upgrade,
but instead are used to power thing in basses (doors, shields, ect).
for the most part, you will remove a cell to power down something. The
only time you really ever use cells to power something is on the G.F.S
Valhalla, which isn't until much later in the game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.4)- Field Items: Healing and reloading
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are only 3 types of field items:
Health, Missiles, and Gunship Missiles.
These randomly appear after defeating enemies and randomly blowing
stuff up. You can either walk through them or charge and hold your
power Beam to draw them to you.
Health is in the form of little round balls of Phazon. The color and
size of the ball tells how much it will heal. Purple heals 10,
Blue 25, Red 50, and Yellow 100 units of health.
Missiles come in 3 sizes, and the only way to tell them apart is the
size of the item. Small gives 5, medium 10, and large 25.
Gunship Missiles look like your ship, only small and glowing. The
restore 1 missile each. You only need to use your ship's missiles like
6 times in the game, so you wont be seeing many of these.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.5)- Hypermode
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hypermode becomes usable just after your mission on Norion.
Hypermode is a very important, if not dangerous, part of the game.
After Norion, Samus's body starts producing Phazon (a radioactive
substance) all on its own. The Galactic Federation installs a PED
(Phazon Enhancement Device) into your power suit, allowing you to tap
into your Phazon reserves to enhance your abilities.
To activate Hypermode, press and hold the + button until it kicks in.
Hypermode drains 1 full Energy Tank (100 units of health), and
exchanges that for power.
When in Hypermode, everything looks blue and your power Beam is
replaced with the Phazon Beam. The Phazon Beam is MUCH more powerful,
but every shot will drain the energy bar at the top of the screen.
Damage will also reduce the bar. When the bar completely drains, you
will be forced out of Hypermode and will be missing 1 Energy Tanks
worth of health.
To end Hypermode on your own, press and hold the + button again. If
you willfully come out of Hypermode, some of your health will be
restored.
Beware though, if you stay in Hypermode for too long, you will become
corrupted, and the bar at the top will turn red and slowly start to
fill. If the bar fills up, you'll die. When this happens, rapidly
press A to vent all the Phazon.
Technically, you could stay in corrupted mode for a long time, so long
as the bar doesn't fill all the way up. But this isn't the case, as
when you are in corrupted mode your health will slowly drain. If you
stay in it for too long, all of your health will drain, and you'll
die. You don't have a bar to indicate how much health you have left,
so its best to vent the Phazon as fast as possible to avoid any
problems.
At start, the only weapon you have in Hypermode is the Phazon Beam,
but you get more with time.
**NOTE**
Some Space Pirates will throw Phazon grenades at you. If one of them
explodes near you, your PED suit will overload and you will be put in
a corrupted state. Same rules apply as if you accidentally entered the
state: vent the Phazon or die.
======================================================================
1.4)- Suit Upgrade Basics
======================================================================
Suit upgrades are a very important part of the game, in fact, most of
the game you'll spend looking for new suit parts to access new areas.
You start with the basic upgrades, and unlike the other Prime games
don't lose any of your upgrades early on.
Upgrades marked with (Starting Upgrade) mean you start the game with
them.
Note that a more complete guide to suit upgrades can be found later in
the guide.

======================================================================
1.5)- Samus's Ship
======================================================================
Samus's ship is by far not new to the Metroid series, but being able
to actually get inside and use the ship is.
There are plenty of bright and flashy things in there; enough to keep
and idiot entertained for many days. Few of these gizmos are of any
use though.
To use something in the ship, point at it and press A, then point
again and press A (again). Here is a list of gadgets in the ship:
Left Side:
Left orange button: Game stats (enemies killed, shots fired, ect)
Right orange button: Activates attack mode (never used)
Big green thing: Thrusters. Only used once.
Middle:
Lower red square: Map Brings up the map and lets you choose a
landing site.
Top green circle: Radio. Only actually used once, but several
secret messages can be heard with special combos
(see secrets section)
Right Side:
Right orange button: Biohazard scanner. Useless.
Left orange button: Activates lockdown. Useless.
======================================================================
1.6- Scanning Basics
======================================================================
Scanning is preformed by holding the - button and pointing at the top
third of the screen to select the scan visor. Then use the lock-on
button (Z) to scan an object.
Objects that can be scanned are highlighted by the scan visor.
Important objects are normally red (but sometimes blue), normal
objects that have some purpose or backstory are blue, while green
objects have already been scanned before (or at least an object the
same as that one).
You have to stayed locked on to the object for a few seconds for the
scan to complete. Once it has, the game will pause and a brief
description will come up in the bottom center of the screen. If the
object is one of importance, it will be added to the log book, at
which point you can press 1 to immediately view the full profile, or
look at it later.
======================================================================
1.7- Medal Basics
======================================================================
You earn medals throughout the game for accomplishing certain tasks.
These include scanning objects, completing special objectives, and
defeating enemies.
When a medal is earned, it will flash at the top of the screen for a
second. There are four different types of medals: Red, Blue, Gold, and
Green. The type earned depends on the task completed. Every task has a
set medal color associated with it.
Medals can be used to buy things in the extras menu.
For a full list of medals and their requirements, see the medals
section. For a list of extras, see the extras menu section.
======================================================================
1.7.1)- Extras Basics
======================================================================
When you first enter your profile, you can choose the "Extras" option.
In there, you can use your medals to buy extras. Most of these are
pretty useless, but there are a few neat ones.
The total number of medals you have is shown at the bottom of the
screen. Each extra costs a certain amount of medals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.7.2)- Friend Vouchers
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend Vouchers are special. They can be traded in for a Green medal
(it's the only way to get green medals), but not in a conventional
way.
First, you have to have Wiiconnect24 on in the Wii options menu.
Second, you need to have some Friends on your Wii Friend list that
have Metroid Prime 3.
Finally, get them to send you a Friend Voucher. When you start your
profile, you will have the option to convert any number of Vouchers
you've received from Friends into green medals.
Beware, as every profile in the game shares the same Friend list, and
as such the same Friend Vouchers received.
To send other people Vouchers, select "Friend Vouchers" then select
someone whose name is black (as opposed to gray) as that means they've
played Metroid Prime 3. You can send them as many Vouchers as you
want, but only one at a time. Remember, you don't have infinite
Vouchers, you have to earn them in game.
======================================================================
1.8)- Metriod Timeline
======================================================================
The order in which the Metroid games go chronologically.
- Metroid (Zero Mission)
- Metroid Prime
- Metroid Prime: Hunters
- Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
- Metroid II: Return of Samus
- Super Metroid
- Metroid Fusion
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.8.1)- Summery of the story thus far
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the Metroid series doesn't really have much of a bearing
on the Prime series. All's you need to know from those games is that
the Space Pirates are bad, and Samus has foiled their plots time and
time again.
As said at the start of the guide, while most Metroids deal with the
Space Pirates, Metroid Prime has more to do with Metroid Prime and the
Space Pirates just play a bit part; just kind of an annoyance.
Ok, onward to Metroid Prime.
--== Samus's background ==--
Samus was orphaned during a raid on her homeworld (K-2L) by the Space
Pirates. She was rescued by a highly Advanced and philosophical bird-
like race called the Chozo, when she was then "infused" with Chozo
blood. Regarded as an excellent warrior by the Chozo, they gave her
specially designed battle armor: the Power Suit. Weather Samus knows
of her past or not is unknown, though some things do suggest that she
suffers from amnesia. However, just before the events of the original
Metroid, the few remaining Chozo on Zebes are killed (most likely
because of the Space Pirates). The Chozo themselves were spread out
across the universe, and are a highly regarded race before their
death.
--== Metroid Prime 1 ==--
In Prime 1, you start out continuing your chase of the Space Pirates
from Zebes and land on a seemingly abandoned research frigate above
Tallon IV (IV = 4 in roman numerals). Inside, you find mutated
creatures from the surrounding planets and strange experiments
regarding a new highly-radioactive substance dubbed "Phazon." After a
few skirmishes and some rouge mutants, the space station goes haywire
and starts to crash into the planet. You escape just in time and give
chase onto the planets surface.
Once on Tallon IV, you discover that this was once a homeworld of the
Chozo. You (as the player) discover much about the Chozo during this
game. You also learn that the planet is slowly being destroyed Phazon,
and that the Phazon was originally brought to the planet via a meteor
(dubbed "Leviathan" in Prime 3) (this Phazon is also what killed the
Chozo on Tallon IV). Near the end of your journey, Samus's Power Suit
gets infused with Phazon. This infusion grants you invulnerability to
the radioactive effects of Phazon.
With the so called Phazon Suit, you can finally face off against
creature that is creating the Phazon: Metroid Prime, who still lives
in the meteor that originally brought him to Tallon IV.
After a long battle, Metroid Prime is finally defeated. Just before he
dies, he soaks up all residual Phazon from the planet; including
Samus's Phazon Suit.
--== Metroid Prime 2 ==--
You get a distress signal from Galactic Federation (good guys) troops
on the unstable planet of Ather. Some neat stuff happens, and there is
a lot background to the planet, but hardly any mentions of the Chozo,
and nothing really about Phazon.
However, you do learn that Metroid Prime is still alive, and is now
called "Dark Samus". He fused himself to Samus's Phazon Suit and
copied some of Samus's DNA, thus gaining human like form and some
sentient-like abilities. He also has access to several of Samus's
weapons, which he powered up through the use of Phazon. His main goal
still seems to be the same: absorb and spread as much Phazon as
possible.
--== Metroid Prime 3 ==--
Well, you'll have to play it and find out :P

Turn around. You should see a blue plate on the ground (when in scan
mode). Walk over and stand on it. You should now see two small blue
things pop up, scan them (training drone).
Time for a mini game. From any angle, shoot one of the training
drones. It should pop up into the air. Fire at it again in air to
"juggle" it. Keep it up in the air for 10 hits to net you a gold
credit. Keep it up for 20 for a Friend Voucher.
With that done, go up the ramp on the left. Scan the door before
entering (galactic federation door).

!!Boss Fight!!
This fight may be hard to you now, but later in the game this guy
isn't even classified as a mini-boss. Be sure to scan him, just to get
it out of the way. Now for strategy:
Strategy: shoot the large red orbs under his arms until they blow,
then wait for him to shoot a large glowing blue orb out his mouth.
Fire at the orb to send it back to him, thus blowing up in his face.
After the armor on his head explodes, start shooting at the exposed
area until he goes down.
Attacks:
Phazon breath: spews phazon at you, very slow and easy to dodge
Phazon orbs: shoots blue orbs at you. Fire at them to damage him.
Phazon Beam: fires an arching Beam of phazon. Jump to dodge.
Fire balls: fires large balls of fire. Quickly dodge left or right to
avoid.
Ground quake: pounds the ground creating a shockwave. Jump to dodge.
HP:
Red arms: 12 shots each
Head armor: 4 Phazon orbs
Head: 40 shots

Roll right and blow up the fan. Continue right and let the jet push
you over the top. Carefully jump up the next set of jumps, as the air

Fall down and get blasted back up. Destroy the fan. Don't worry about
the thing shooting you. Navigate the jets right; one jet will stop you
from moving forward while it's on, you'll have to jump while its off
which isn't very long. Just after that jet, there is a small jet on
the ground. Stop over top of it and wait for it to blow. Destroy the

Walk out into the bay to be ambushed by 2 Pirate militia and 2 Pirate
Troopers (be sure to scan the later). I would take out the militia
first, as they can get annoying.
After you've dispatched all four, look to the right and scan the Space
Pirate ATC while it drops off two shield Pirate militia. Take them out
by first pulling off there shields.
Phase 3: two AeroTroopers. Locking on, then firing a missile normally
works well.
Finally, you'll start getting shot at by an ATC. Find it and aim for
the glowing grill just above the cannon. Missiles don't work so well,
and charged shots can be to slow against the wobbly craft. Instead
just pour rapid fire into it.

to win this fight is to let the bots circle around you while keeping a
close eye on your radar. As soon as you see one of the blips stop,
quickly turn in that direction and hit it with a missile.
After the fight, some debris should be blown away, granting you access
to that ledge. Jump over to it and use a charged blast to destroy the
rest of the debris. Use the manual lock to activate the generator,
then jump back to the handscanner you just saw in the cutscene. Use

** Gold Medal warning **
This is probably the hardest gold medal to get in the game. You have
to fight Ridley (see below), only you cant take any damage while in
the tube. This includes running into his claws. Good luck. Oh, and
it's not worth reseting over if you don't get it. Really.
Ridley will come down and land on top of you. His claws will block the
exits. He will try to hit you with lasers fired from his mouth, as
well as try to bit you. Dodge the lasers (though they don't do that
much damage) and wait for him to bit down a little too hard. When he
does, his mouth will get stuck. Quickly plant a couple of bombs beside
him to damage him. After a few rounds, his left leg will come up and
allow you to pass.
A little later in the tube he will be back, and do the same thing.
Repeat the above and continue. Through the door once you're out of the
tube.

glowy purple gas to send you high up into the air. Ignore the jolly
roger drone. Active the gas again in the middle here to land in a bomb
slot. Plant a bomb and continue right.
Don't cross till all the geysers are activated! If you fall down,
don't worry. Just go all the way right and wait for that geyser to
activate, then roll off right. Ride up again, right, and fall down.
Ride up again and go left. Ride up into the bomb slot, activate, then
go right, past another geyser bridge. Final bomb slot. Activate and
continue right, using three geysers on your way.
Roll out onto the bridge (you cant fall off... unless you do something
really stupid). Continue all the way across till you're back in the
tube. Two geysers later, and you're in another bomb slot. Activate and
prepare for a boss fight!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
!!Boss Fight!!
Meta Ridley
This fight has a timer. You have to kill him before it hits zero.
Don't worry too much though, you should have plenty of time.
Don't forget to scan him!
Part 1: Freefall:
In this part, you are falling down a shaft with Ridley in front.
Ridley will fire lasers like before, and there will be some bits of
debris you have to dodge. Neither of these attacks do a lot of damage,
so don't worry about them.
Mainly, fire at his mouth (the only vulnerable part of him) (you cant
lock on either). You'll know when you hit him, as he'll flash red.
Don't bother with charged shots or missiles, as they'll probably just
miss anyway.
During this part you will have mild control overSamus, but not much.
Just try keep her from bashing into the walls.
Part 2: Melee combat:
To start this part, in the shaft Ridley will lunge up at you and grab
you. When this happens, you will be face to face with him (Eew, breath
mints much?)
During this part, Ridley has 3 attacks. The first of which he will
draw back his arm to the left, and try to slap you. Second, he will
draw his arm to the right and try to slap you. Finally, he will kind
of look up and charge his mouth to fire a laser at you.
Again, you cant lock on, so this part is kind of difficult. When he
goes to attack, that part of his body will start to glow. When this
happens, aim and fire a charged shot at said part. If it hits, his
attack wont go through and you'll damage him. If not, start pouring
fire on it in hopes you'll damage it enough.
Part 3: Great Balls of Fire:
After part 2, Ridley will throw you down and he'll be in front you
again. This is very similar to part 1, except he will fire fireballs
at you instead of lasers. Use the same strategy as part one, only be
sure to shoot at the fireballs and blow them up before the hit you.
They hurt!
After part 3, the fight will reset to part 2, then part 1, and
continue in this cycle until the fight ends.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy the awesome cutscene (again, Rundas is such a showoff), then
activate the generator (the hand scanner on the left).
Start running back to the Cargo Hub. You're on a timer now (its not on
screen, but every so often a voice will come up and say "X minutes
until impact"). You should have plenty of time though.

just keep hading right until you find a door.

Jolly Roger drone right inside the door. Go right and watch the Pirate
jump through the glass. Kill him and move on. Two CrawlTanks around

rickety path up to a locked down door (with a green and red emblem on
it). Run across quickly, noting that it falls apart.
Look back behind you to see a grapple point. Latch on to it and pull
the ledge down. You're not going to use it just yet though. Turn left
and jump up on the ledge. Now turn right and jump over to the central
pillar.
Use morph ball mode to go inside the pillar. At the end of the path,
plant a bomb. Note the Phazon Nightbarbs that just flew in. Now would
be a good time to scan them, but don't bother fighting them.
Turn about and look on your radar. See the door there? Go towards it
(by jumping to the ledge), but don't enter it. Follow the ledge around
until you reach a dead end. Jump up twice to reach the top. You should
see that red and green door again. Turn right and to up that path.
Jump to the next ledge, then to the ledge on the right. Finally to the
centeral pillar. Use morph ball mode again, and plant a bomb at the
end. A new path opens and some Gel Puffers come out.
Turn right and scan the puffers, then destroy them and use those
ledges to get to the newly opened door.
Straight ahead you see a small, well-lit opening for a morph ball.
Just to the right of that is a block. Lock onto the block and use the
grapple lasso to yank it a few times till it's out. With that done,
curl up and jump into the hole.
Go right. Two hoppers will jump down once you exit the pipe.
Scan them, then continue past through the door.

Turn back around and head towards the door. when you reach the bottom
of the first ledge, look for a strange cracked rock in the wall. Blow
it up with a morph ball bomb and roll inside.
Roll to the right and let the little bugs attach to you. After you get
so many on you, you'll start to float. Pull hard to the left with the
joy stick to float up the path there. You probably see the Missile
Expansion on the right by now, that's your target. When you get above
the ledge, lay bomb to drop and go pick it up (M15).
Jump up the ledge on the left, then jump to the right to land on a
ledge above the Missile Expansion. Follow that around till you drop.

Out into the main courtyard, look for a small path on the left. Jump
up the ledges until you reach the end (and are outside again). Turn
left to see a row of grapple points. First, kill the gel puffers in
your way.
Now swing from point to point. It can be difficult at first, but
you'll get the hang of it. Grab onto the first one, then point at the
second one, keep pointing till you reach the apex again, the release Z
and quickly press it again to grapple to the next point. Keep doing
that till you're on the next ledge.

out what to do next.
Don't use a charged shot, instead, use missiles to destroy the locks.
Now you have to grapple the generator parts, but make sure you grapple
one on each side (left, right, left, right, or vise versa) or it wont

Now you have to contend with electric bolts in your way. Jump through
them when they're off. This time, at the second jump, jump right
instead of left. Jump right again, then left.
Ok, now you are going to have to perform a double-bomb-jump. It's easy
for me, but it will be very hard for you, but it's good you learn it
now as you'll need it later. How you do this is easy on paper:
Lay a bomb on the ground and just before it goes off lay another one.
the first bomb will send you into the air. Just before you reach the
apex of your jump lay a third bomb. When you land, the second bomb
will explode and send you back up just in time for the third bomb to
explode and will send you even higher.
Continue right to get outside and get your Missile Expansion (M25).
Scan the Gragnol Adult while you're up here and head back to Gateway

About the time you reach the center of the floor, you are attacked by
three Warp Hounds. They aren't a limited scan, but now is the easiest
time to get them. In short, they can breath fire, bite, and warp short
distances. Hypermode still works the best, as you can take down
several of them (though it's unlikely you'll finish them off). After
that, use more rapid fire, as a charged shot or missile isn't going to
do you any good if they warp right as it's about to hit them.
A gate opposite the door you came through should have just gone down.
First scan the red wall (Lore: Age of war), then turn to the morph
ball slot. It's not active. Shoot the fuel gel leaking out the sides
to turn it on, then use a morph ball bomb to activate it.
The platform in the center will rise and some Gragnols will come out.
take out the Gragnols, then jump onto the platform. Turn left and
grapple the pipe (use your scan visor to find it if you have to). Turn
around and do the same to that side. Jump onto the platform you should
now be facing.
Use the pump (press A and "pump" with Wii remote in and out) to
activate the fuel gel. Now step back and aim at the part that is
shooting the fuel gel, not the where the gel is hitting. Charged shot
or missiles will ignite it and force the barrels back.
To the right of the pump there should now be a slot big enough for a
morph ball. Enter and follow the pipe around.
Uncurl and activate the morph ball slot. Now go back through the pipe.
Jump up onto the raised platform. I would take care of the Gragnol
adults before continuing. Face opposite the door you came into the
room from (south, if you check your map) and pull the grapple point.
Use a charged blast to activate the fuel gel. Another fuel gel arm
will come out. Burn that one too.
Before continuing, look right and scan the Phazon pillbug in the wall.
Ok, jump over to the platform in the wall. Note the morph ball pipe on
the wall. Curl up and jump in.
Head right. Watch out for the pillbug. The first one you can just
pass, but the second one you'll have to kill (lay a few bombs to knock
it off the wall, then another one to kill it).
Jump up on top of the block the second bug was on, then jump to the
ledge above that. One more jump then lay a bomb to destroy the
sandblock. Another block should fall, blocking the fire below. Use
that to jump up and continue right.
Uncurl to find another bomb slot up ahead. Charged shots to the fuel
gel, then lay a bomb inside.
Lots of puffers. Destroy a few, but you don't have to get them all.
Walk over to the right side of the platform that was raised up. See
that glowing green ledge above it? Scan it first (Grab ledge), then
jump onto it. Enter the door.

Shoot the puffers, then notice the large head in the middle of ceiling
spewing fuel gel. Now notice the vine on the left overtop of the gel

fire a charged shot at its mouth to ignite its nose and burn the vine.
A platform will fall containing the Missile Expansion (M35). Use said
platform to jump across the pool and enter the door.

As soon as you come out of the tunnel, you will be assaulted by:
1 ATC
1 Pirate Trooper
1 Pirate militia
2 Armored Pirate Troopers
Take out the ATC first, then the militia and Trooper, then finally use
missiles to take out the Armored Pirates (Hypermode also works well,
though not recommended). Note that now would not be the best time to
scan the Pirate crates, but that's up to you.
After, Rundas will come down and "save" you. But he is actually just
saving you so he can kill you. How nice of him. >_>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
!! Boss Fight !!
Rundas
Start by scanning him. Now, Rundas has Ice Armor on. It can be ripped
off with the grapple lasso, but you have to stun him first. To do
this, hammer away at him with missiles and rapid shots. Eventually he
will come to a stop and look dazed. Lock on and rip his armor off as
if it was a locked door. Now he is vulnerable to fire. Hit him as many
times as possible before he creates new armor and you have to stun him
again.
Rundas isn't defenseless, however. As we've seen in the past, he is
quite powerful.
His favorite attack is creating an ice belt in the sky and using it to
fly. From this position he will hail missiles down on you. He moves to
fast to keep a lock, so just dodge the missiles and wait for him to
land.
When on land, he likes to shoot Beams of freezing air, usually in sets
of 3. If you don't dodge them all, you will become frozen. Rapidly tap
B to unfreeze.
His final attack is he will launch giant balls of ice at you. If you
are low on health or ammo, you can destroy the balls in mid-air and
collect the health inside. Otherwise it's best to hid from this
attack.
His final move isn't really an attack, but he will create large ice
pillars on the field. Not much you can do about this one.
After you get his health down a ways, he will enter Hypermode. Yes,
he, along with just about every other creature in this game, has the
ability to enter Hypermode. In this mode, his attacks are a lot more
powerful and he moves much faster.

Uncurl and fire a charged shot into the plate he pulled loose.
Next, go over to the right of the statue and fire a missile into the
stream of fuel gel. This will freeze it allowing you to fit through in
morph ball form. Hop up and around till you cant go any farther. Lay a
bomb beside the vine to blow it up. Exit.
Face the statue again and turn around backwards. There should be a
vine in front of a jet of fuel gel. Ignite the gel to break the vine.
One left. It's connected to his right arm. Trace it back to see it
goings behind a rock. Hit the rock with a missile then jump in and
ignite the vine again.
Finally free. Go back into the morph ball slot and lay a bomb. Enter

Use the arm and subsequent platforms to get back up. Face the gap
again. To the right you should see some large crystals. Hit them with
a charged blast. Swing across using the new grapple point.
Turn to the right and jump up onto the golem. Look to the left a
little to see (and destroy) another hive. Cross the bridge and
continue up.
Turn about facing the gap again. Fire at the crystals right across
from you. Look to the left to see another crystal just above the
destroyed hive. Shoot that one as well (you may have to jump).

The whole place will go into lockdown because of a couple of warp

quickly. After, some reptilicus hunters will come down. They're even
easier. Look around the ceilings to find two Gragnol hives. Destroy
them before they become a problem.
After everything is destroyed (except for the hives, which I recommend
you destroy), the panel should come back up. Go over and press the up
arrow.
Across the platform is an elevator. Use the hand scanner to activate
it. Ride up. Turn around and jump across. See that glowing vent? Use a
morph ball bomb to blow it out. Hop in the vent to get shot up. Look
around in this room for a flashy thing on the wall. Scan it (Energy
Cell) then remove it from the wall (EC1). Exit through the other vent.
You'll likely get shot off the platform, so ride the elevator back up.
Jump across and turn left. Jump onto the platform there, but not onto
the green ledge. Turn left and grapple pull the glowing panel.
Now jump onto the green ledge, then onto the ledge you just pulled
out. Turn right and jump onto the ledge there. Turn back around and
jump back to the center pillar, only higher. Continue across by
jumping straight ahead into the nook with blue paneling. Curl into a
ball and jump into the glowing slot.
Roll left till out. Now use the red (when looked at through the scan
visor) system. Follow the instructions to engage.
Roll back out and fall down, back to the panel with the arrows on it.
This time press the down arrow. Now use your command visor to make
your ship land in the middle of the room. Go back to the panel and
press the missile button.
You now have three Gunship Missiles (GS1-3). To count how many
missiles you have left, look in the bottom right corner of the command

The beast is a little harder to take down. Stand in front of him till
his mouth starts to glow. Hit it with a charged blast. This will daze
him (just like Rundas) at which point you need to enter morph ball

Repeat until he falls over. Once he falls over, get behind him and
quickly grapple and pull his tail. After, he will get up on his hind
legs and look dazed. This will expose his chest. Fire as many rounds
as you can into his chest until he gets back down.

Friend Voucher: pull all leavers without the Pirates interfering
This generator is a little different from the last. Your target is
three leavers up above the generator in their own little nooks. You
see the AeroTrooper pull one in the cutscene.
Your job is to get behind it and pull it from behind with the grapple
lasso. Simple enough, except that the AeroTroopers will come along and
pull them back if you take to long.
The trick here is that the AeroTroopers come in groups of two with a
few second delays in between defeated groups. Get behind the first
leaver and quickly kill both Troopers. Pull the first leaver and
quickly jump to the second one. Pull that one then wait. Two more
AeroTroopers should come down about now. Enter Hypermode and kill them
very quickly. Jump to the final leaver and pull that one.
If you did all of this without an AeroTrooper touching a leaver, you
get a Friend Voucher. After all the leavers are pulled, the fuel gel

!! Boss Fight !!
This is probably one of the hardest boss fights in the game, just out
of shear semantics.
To start, Mogenar will grab some red orbs and shove them inside
himself. These supply his power and are his weakpoint.
There are four of them (three in the front and one in the back). To
defeat Mogenar, you have to destroy all four orbs and the generators
that house them.
The ones in the front will go first. Keep locked on and every time the
flaps open pour fire onto one of them. Mogenar will switch the orbs
around like a card game, but you have to destroy them all anyway so
don't worry about it. After an orb is destroyed, the slot it's in will
glow bright white, exposing the generator housing.
The only way to destroy the generator housing is to use Phazon based
attacks, but since the housing isn't always open you'll find yourself
switching in and out of Phazon mode a lot, and that could get
dangerous.
The one on his back can only be reach when he charges you and you
dodge the attack. When this happens, he will be stunned against the
way for a sec, exposing the orb for just a few shots.
But wait, this fight gets even more annoying. Mogenar will sometimes
shoot out telekinetic hands to grab two orbs from nearby pedestals.
The hands will slowly bring the orbs back to him, and if you don't
destroy the orbs before they do, two of his damaged orbs will be
replaced. Now, if a generator housing is blown out, the orb can be
replaced, so blow those generators as soon as possible.
Attacks:
Just when you thought it couldn't get any more annoying, this thing
can actually fight back, and with the most annoying attacks known to
Metroid Prime.
The first of his attacks are shockwaves. He will stomp his feet
creating shockwaves that can damage you. Jump to dodge.
The next is he fires those telekinetic hands at you as if they were
projectiles. The good thing about this attack is you can destroy the
hands and sometimes collect health from them.
After his health is down a bit, he will absorb Phazon into his feet,
allowing him to run fast. You cant do anything to him like this, so to
get rid of the shoes use morph ball mode and lay bombs by his feet
when he stops.
After the above attack and after you've taken out at least two of the
orbs on the front, he will start trying to run over you. This attack
is only good in that it gives you a chance to shoot at the orb on his
back. When he starts to dash, lock on and jump to the side. Circle
behind him and fire at his back orb.
Again, after about two orbs on the front are down He'll start firing
energy-based tri-missiles at you. Not hard to dodge.
His final attack only happens once three orbs are down. He'll shoot
lasers from his mouth just like Ridley. And like Ridley, they are easy
to dodge.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After he goes down, claim your pirze (Hyper ball). You enter a state
of permanent Hypermode. Test out your new toy, then follow the
cutscenes and instructions to continue. Note that you cannot scan
anything while in this state, so don't bother.

New Scans:
SkyTown storage unit
Heavy SkyTown storage unit
Transportation drone
Aerial repair drone
Databot
Lore: creators
SkyTown blue door
New Medals:
Red x3
Blue x1
Lots of stuff to scan. The creates are easy, the transportation drones
are flying around overhead. Everything else is inside the complex.
Walk in and scan everything that moves. When you find something called
a databot, turn off your scanner and shot it, then scan it again. This
is how you get lore in SkyTown.
When you're done, scan the door and go through.
--== Main Docking Access ==--
Go into morph ball and jump into the hole. Enter Hypermode and hold A
to blast away the vines. Uncurl and shoot the window up ahead. Swing
to the other side.
--== Zipline Station Alpha ==--
New Scans:
Zipline cable
The only thing I hate about Elysia is the ziplines. >_<
Scan the grapple target to learn it's a zipline. Grab on and don't let
go!
If something (say, a door or a bomb) gets in your way, blast it before
you run into it. if you don't, you'll fall off and have to start over.
Blasted Chozo. I think your architect needs new glasses, or at least a
new straight edge.
--== Arrival Station ==--
New Scans:
Tinbot
Lore: gift
New Medals:
Red x1
Blue x1
Scan the robots ahead before walking forward (tinbots). Very easily
defeated. Around the corner till your outside. Turn left to find more
tinbots. The databot with the lore is in the same room as the door.
--== Hub Access ==--
Just a hallway. If you're quick you might be able to scan the ghostly
steamlord, but I wouldn't worry about it.
--== Transit Hub ==--
New Scans:
Kinetic orb cannon
New Pickups:
Missile Expansion
Scan the glowing hologram (kinetic orb cannon). Morph ball into the
hologram.
Upon landing, don't bother uncurling. Roll over to the right and get
inside the pipe. Jump up once. To get the Missile Expansion, you'll
have to double-bomb-jump (M60). Continue through the pipe. Uncurl and
jump across. Use the zipline, again watching out for obstacles.
--== Barracks Access ==--
New Pickups:
Missile Expansion
Just ahead are several rows of lasers. Curl up and fall down into the
ditch under them. Go back towards the ledge you fell off of to get the
Missile Expansion (M65). Now go under the lasers and through the door.
--== Steambot Barracks ==--
New Scans:
Steambot
Steamlord
New Medals:
Red x2
Gold x1
New Pickups:
Energy Tank
Hand scanner and elevator. Morph ball to the right and enter the pipe.
Hop through avoiding pistons and using bombs to get rid of obstacles.
Yes, there is a Missile Expansion in here but you cant get it yet.
There doesn't appear to be anything to do in here, so head for the
door.
NOT!
Door locks and a bunch of animated tin cans appear. Scan he steambots
and the ghostly steamlord when he appears. The steamlord can revive
the steambots, so it's best to aim for him first. To lure him out,
take down a couple of bots. He'll come out to revive them. That's your
chance to scan and kill him. Missiles don't work on robots very well
by the way.
After the fight, the steamlord drops an Energy Tank (T6). Three of the
cocoons in the room holds a vent that powers the lock. Pull them to
unlock the door.
--== Barracks Lift ==--
New Scans:
Lore: discovery
New Medals:
Blue x1
Look around for your databot and lore, then find and use the hand
scanner. That should activate the elevator. Ride it up.
Enter the door at the top.
--== Zipline Station Bravo ==--
Another Zipline. You know the drill.
--== Aurora Lift ==--
New Scans:
Repair drone
New Medals:
Red x1
Rolling along the ground is the repair drone. Scan him and move on.
The hand scanner activates the elevator, but you're probably going to
want to use the save station first.
--== Save Station A ==--
Save and exit. Ride the elevator down.
--== Aurora Chamber ==--
Just walk through the hall. Nothing you can do here now.
--== Maintenance Shaft AU ==--
New Scans:
Sky Puffer
New Medals:
Red x1
Scan the puffers and jump across.
--== Spire Dock ==--
Ride the cannon to the spire. Go right and take that zipline across.
--== Junction ==--
You want the white door dead opposite from you. You'll have to battle
a few tinbots (like that's even worth mentioning)
--== Skybridge Hera ==--
New Scans:
Dragoon Battle Drone
New Medals:
Red x1
Friend Voucher: collapse the bridge with steambots still on it.
New Pickups:
Missile Expansion
Alright, time for some real action. Rip off the ornamental gate in
front of you. Doing so will call forth a couple battle drones. Scan
them first, then destroy them by using the grapple lasso (very fun to
defeat).
Look around in the pillars on this platform. The one opposite the gate
ahead has a morph ball sized hole in it. Jump in (M70).
Now rip off the next gate. This bridge is unstable. DO NOT fight the
steambots on it. You have plenty of time, but you get a Friend Voucher
if you don't. Rip off the gate at the end to tear loose the bridge
(why does the steamlord fall? He can fly cant he?)
Three more battle drones before the door.
--== Maintenance Shaft GP ==--
Nothing to do in here but jump to the next door.
--== Construction Bay ==--
This can be tricky. First, jump up the platforms dead ahead. When you
reach the final one, look up at the large structure for a target. Use
a charged blast to tear down the ledge and jump onto the green part.
There's a morph ball sized hole on the right. Go in and trigger all
three bomb slots. Jump back down to the ledge you used to blast the
higher ledge down. Aim far off to the end of the large structure and
snipe the shriekbats (use your scan visor if you're not sure where to
aim).
Now, grapple onto the points below the structure. Be sure to line up
your jumps before letting go, you cant make it on the first swing.
Upon landing, use the morph ball to get through the small rigging.
Stay in morph ball mode to get inside of and jump up the pillar.
Couple of battle drones await you at the top.
Use the hand scanner to move the crane, then use morph ball to get
across.
--== Ballista Lift ==--
New Scans:
Lore: slumber
New Medals:
Blue x1
Scan the databot and use the hand scanner. Ride the elevator down.
--== Ballista Storage ==--
New Scans:
Defense drone
Spinner
New Medals:

Gold x1
And there's the boost ball, right in front of you. Go get it!
Pfft, like anything in a video game is that easy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
!! Boss Fight !!
Defense Drone
As always, scan him first. His weak point are the antenna on its head.
Fire at them till they all retract, at which point he will become
dazed. Rip the plating off its head and start firing at its brain
(Hypermode works well). Eventually it will lock the plates back on and
its antenna will come back up. Repeat till dead.
Attacks:
Why does every boss have to have attacks? Why cant he just sit there
and let you kill him? >_>
First, he has a missile barrage. He will fire ~10 missiles
consecutively while following you around the room. Sidestep to dodge.
Another favorite is the ever-popular shockwave. He'll jump up, and
when he lands a shockwave will crease across the floor. Jump to dodge.
Sometimes he will shoot a fireball at you. It's very slow, but it
homes. Good luck dodging it.
Finally, a gooey bomb attack. He will jump up onto one of the nooks in
the room and fire several bouncing proximity gooey bombs. Don't do a
whole lot of damage, but they do cloud your vision.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Suck up all the extra health and claim your prize: the boost ball.
Use the boost ball in the hologram that appears to build kinetic
energy and power the lift. Get used to this, as you'll be doing it a
lot. It's pretty easy. Just press and hold the B button, then release.
Continue doing this till it stops you. Don't touch the joy stick or
you'll mess it up.
--== Construction Bay ==--
A few battle drones appear, I wouldn't worry about it. go left and
enter the morph ball pipe.
--== Skybridge Hera ==--
Another cannon needs kinetic energy just like before. Get going around
in circles.
--== Junction ==--
New Medals:
Friend Voucher: destroy three tinbots in a row with the boost ball
You heard the medals section. There are 6 tinbots in here, giving you
two chances. Note that you can get this medal later and in other
places if you mess up.
--== Aurora Chamber ==--
All the way back to the Aurora Chamber.
In the center raised section of the hall is a cylinder in the right
wall. Hop up in it via morph ball. It's just another kinetic device,
tough it's a little harder do to being vertical.
Go up and use the panel to talk to the AU. It opens the maintenance
shaft. Go through in morph ball form. Upon entering, you will be
attacked by 12 tinbots.
After they are all destroyed, look for a device in one of the holes
they were coming out of. Press A to upload the vaccine.
Stupid Ghor. Well, go back up (via morph ball) and talk to the AU.
Ok, exit and go back to the spire (left door).
--== Spire Dock ==--
After jumping the gap, take the left zipline. Just before you reach
the door, you'll get an alert from your ship. High tail it back to the
save station above the AU, then back to the main docking bay.
No matter how fast or slow you are, you always get there "just in the
nick of time" so don't worry to much.
--== Steambot Barracks ==--
New Scans:
Half-pipe
Right as you walk in you'll notice another vertical kinetic energy
chamber like in the AU chamber. Hop in and build up some energy!
Scan the thing that pops up (half-pipe). If you've every been
skateboarding, or even know a little bit of the subject, you should
know what a half-pipe is for.
Jump into and curl up. Start rolling up one side of the ramp, then
charge the boost ball and release to climb higher. As soon as you
release, start charging it again. When you hit the center of the pipe,
release again. Keep doing this till you build up enough momentum to
carry you to the top where you can tilt the joy stick to get off on
the upper ledge.
Use the dia
