| OBJECTIVE: Enemies! |
| This section will go over how to beat all major enemies and bosses. Parasite Queen: When there is a gap in the shield, blast it with anything. Avoid it's attacks. Duh... Hive Mecha & Ram War Wasps: Shoot the War Wasps as they fly around you and when they are all gone, shoot the red light on Hive Mecha. Do this three times to kill it. When a War Wasp stops, that means it is about to ram you so HURRY UP AND KILL IT. Incinerator Drone & Barbed War Wasps: Dodge the fire until the red part of the drone comes out, and then shoot it. It will blast fire up at the hive and barbed war wasps will come out. They can shoot stuff at you, so watch out. When the 'head' of the drone (the red part) is still inside and protected, don't bother shooting it. Defend yourself against the wasps until you have time to shoot the incinerator drone. Plated Beetle: When it charges at you, dash to the left or right and while it's facing the other way, shoot it's abdomen (the red part). Flaahgra: Shoot it repeartedly to daze it, and then sidestep over to one of the dishes that is reflecting light onto it. Shoot it with a charge beam to flip it back up. When it falls to the ground, roll into one of the holes and drop a bomb. Repeat this until the fight is over. Sheegoth: Don't bother using Beam Weapons (unless you have the plasma beam). Wait for it to shoot something at you or use it's breath attack. Then while it's panting, shoot missiles at it's mouth. When you get the Plasma Beam or Power Bombs, those are effective as well. Thardus: Switch to the Thermal Visor and lock on to the red part. Shoot it with anything until it blows up, which will overload your thermal visor. Switch back to the combat visor, and you see that the rock is more visible now without the thermal visor. Shoot it until it blows up. Now you can switch back to Thermal Mode. Repeat this until it dies. If it starts rolling, WATCH OUT! Troopers: These come in four types. Power Trooper, Wave Trooper, Ice Trooper, and Plasma Trooper. Fight them using the appropriate Beam Weapon. Elite Pirate: There are three of these. Use whatever weapon you have so far that us strongest and blast away... but wait! When it's hand is out in front it will absorb your attacks. Wait until it uses it's wave quake attack and then fire. You can also use the Thermal Visor to locate the gun on it's back and blast that away. Phazon Elite: Only found in Elite Research, this guy is just like the one above except it practically only uses it's wave quake and there's no cannon on him. Omega Pirate: This is hard. If you don't beat it the first time, don't freak out. Nobody does. Stay far away enough so that he doesn't slash you with his claws. If he shoots missiles at you, dodge to the left or right. If he uses his Wave Quake move, jump over it. In the first part you can target four places. Each leg and each arm. You can only hit these places while he is doing his wave quake attack, or right after. He will absorb it if you shoot him while his hand is out in front of him. After they are gone he falls to the ground and turns COMPLETELY invisible. You can't even see him with the X-Ray visor. More pirates come after you. Kill them FAST. Soon you will hear the omega pirate roar and he will be visible with the X-Ray visor. Shoot him with one or two charges of the Plasma Beam, or maybe Super Missiles. Either way, he will usually teleport somewhere else, and you have to shoot him again. Sometimes he just turns completely visible and you have to blow up his arms and legs again. Some people say it is easier to simply avoid the smaller pirates until the omega appears, so that you won't miss your chance. Shooting him while he is invisible is the only way you can hurt him, really. *There is also a rumor that during the fight you can shatter his shield with a power-bomb. I haven't tested it myself but I will as soon as I can.* Meta Ridley: He will start to fly around and shoot bombs at you, so just dodge them. When he comes up right in front of the artifact temple and hovers there, SHOOT HIM!!! Dodging his attacks isn't a problem unless he comes down and lands on you. Ouch. Even then just back up and blast him. Eventually after sufficient abuse and brutal punishment, Ridley will drop down to fight you on the ground. He will charge at you, so dodge to the left or to the right, and then turn around to lock on so you can dodge again if he comes at you. When he opens his mouth to roar or breath fire, BLAST HIM!!! Sometimes when you shoot him in the mouth he will start screaming and expose his chest which is also vulnerable at that point. Blast him whenever you have a chance. As long as you dodge his attacks, he isn't that hard. Nobody beats him the first time though. After he is dead, the Chozo spirits will shoot him off the cliff and BANG!!! Metroid Prime Part 1: Metroid Prime can only be hurt by a certain weapon at a time, kinda like the Fission Metroids or the Troopers. However, this guy changes. First you can only hit him with the power beam, then the wave beam. After that he will burrow into the ground to the next level of the crater. You jump down after him. He will go in patterns for a while and then eventually starts changing random. When in the second level and below, whenever you kill him as one color, he will charge at you before changing to another. Roll into a ball and go into one of the side ditches and roll past him. After doing this a few times he will go to the next level again. When he shoots a beam of Ice or electricity, be extra careful, The Ice freezes you and the electricity throws your aim off. When he shoots two little balls at you, make sure your gun is set to that color and blast them. On normal mode, a single charge usually works. Here are the weapons you should use for the first part. Never use any weapon's normal mode. At least use the charge beam for that weapon. When he is yellow, use Super Missiles. When he is Purple, use simple wave beam charges, or use the wavebuster. When he is White, use the Ice Spreader. When he is red, use simple plasma beam charges. The flamethrower is too slow. Metroid Prime Part 2: Well, if you thought you won, you sure didn't. This is why you needed that phazon suit. It comes with a gun that can only be used here. You can't do anything to him yet. So, just jump over his wave quake things. And, um, don't touch him. When he makes a puddle of Phazon and turns invisible, switch to your X-Ray visor. Sidestep over to the puddle of Phazon and your gun changes. It turns into the Phazon gun. Just step in the Phazon, point at Metroid Prime, and HOLD THE FIRE BUTTON. It will shoot rapid fire at him until the phazon is gone. you'll have to wait for him to do it again. Keep watching him with the X-Ray visor until he disappears again... wait, what? Okay, don't freak out. This time switch to the Thermal Visor. Do the same thing over again. If he ever spawns metroids to help in the fight, just drop a Super Bomb to take them both out. Hopefully they're close enough. After the thermal visor, switch back to the combat visor. He will keep going in this pattern. If you know what to do, which you now should, it's easy. After enough hits with the Phazon Rifle, he goes down. |
