BOSSES

- Thardus -

Thardus only has a few attacks - he'll get into a ball and roll at you, which you can avoid by Morph Ball Boosting away, he can send rocks flying at you and he can also shoot ice along the ground at you, both of which you can avoid by jumping/running out of the way. To see Thardus' weak point, put on the Thermal Visor (D-Down), lock on (L-Button) and attack the red, 'hot spot.' Keep attacking with either charged up Power or Wave Beam shots, Missiles or Super Missiles; when you've dealt enough damage, your Visor will go bright and you'll need to switch back to your Combat Visor (D-Up). The spot that you were attacking will now be a blue, 'cold spot' - lock onto it and attack it again. Power Beam shots are stronger than Wave Beam shots, but Wave Beam shots are better because they home in on the locked on spot - use this on the arms and legs. Super Missiles are even stronger and home in too, but they can be wasted if they get blocked by another part of his body - so use them on his head, shoulders and chest. If you get low on Missile Ammo or Health, destroy the rocks that he throws at you to get some refills. Other than that, just keep attacking his hot and then cold spots until he's history - good luck!

- Omega Pirate -

Okay, when you enter the room, Scan the Omega Pirate before you approach him and he gets out. He has 4 areas of Phazon Armor that protect him (each shoulder and each leg), lock on to one (L), charge up the Power Beam (hold A), hold it and wait until his hand isn't glowing to let off a Super Missile (Y) while jumping (B+B) over his wave attacks. Once all 4 are gone, he'll kneel and call some Pirates; you can fight them if you want, but if you keep moving around they shouldn't hurt you too much. Eventually Omega will appear in one of the Phazon patches to restore his armor - you'll need to put on your X-Ray Visor for this. Lock on to him and fire another Super Missile to actually damage him - you can hit him twice if you're fast enough; he'll then disappear and reappear in another Phazon pool - nail him again with a Super Missile if you have time. When he reappears, go back to the Combat Visor and repeat the process (attacking the 4 areas of Phazon Armor) - his wave attacks should take out the rest of the Pirates for you, just keep moving and make sure you pick up any Ammo or Health that they leave behind. It takes about 4-6 Super Missiles when he's recharging to finish him. I suggest finding as many Energy Tanks and Missile Expansions as you can before you face him. Once you beat him, you get the awesome-looking Phazon Suit, I like it anyway; good luck =)

- Meta Ridley -

When Meta Ridley is flying around shoot him with whatever you want, it won't do much damage - the time to cause some major pain is when he's floating still; at one point he'll lean his head back to charge up a laser - that's when you nail his gleaming red chest with a Super Missile! Once about two thirds of his health is gone, he'll lose his wings and the 'real fun' will begin; you're going to get and have to be good at dodging - always be locked on and watch the cues, he'll get ready to charge at you when he leans back so start jumping to the side; next, he'll swing his tail around, so jump over that. Now, keep your Power Beam charged up - he may or may not scream at you, if he does, let him have the charged up Power Beam shot - this will expose his gleaming red chest again, so get a Super Missile in there, but do it quickly, he doesn't give you much time! Repeat, repeat, repeat...I'm guessing that your right hand will hurt at the end of this battle - good luck!
