Before Aether:

On planet Zebes existed at threat greater than any previously known to 
Life-kind. The species now known as 'Metroid' was discovered on the planet
SR388. When first discovered it was to be transported to a Research Facility for
further study. However, this was not to be...
The Space Pirates attacked the ship and stole the Metroid Samples, taking them
back to their base on Zebes. Planning to use them to attack Galactic 
civilisation, the Galactic Federation sent Samus Aran to stop them, and destroy
all the Metroid Samples.

Samus Aran Succeeded.

Some time after her mission on Zebes was fulfilled, she received a distress 
signal from a planet called Tallon IV. Upon exploring a derelict space station
that was in orbit above the planet she soon discovered that her mission was not
as complete as she thought it was.
The Space Pirates had survived...and they had Metroids with them. 
Samus then descended to the planet and found that not only had the Space 
Pirates restarted their Metroid breeding program but that they were using 
something else too. Tallon IV seemed to be home for an element known as Phazon.
This Element seemed to have massive radioactive & mutagenic properties, and, 
when this element was exposed to animal, including Metroid, it made them 
stronger and far more aggressive. Faced with no other choice, she had no option 
but to destroy the Space Pirates and the very source of the Phazon.

Once again, she succeeded.

Now fate has brought her to Aether...where Samus will be forced to face more 
than just Space Pirates, and Mutated Monsters.

She�ll have to face her most powerful enemy...

For those of you who didn't know, what you just read was what has happened in 
the Metroid series before this game. With there being over Six Metroid games,
four main and two prime, some people weren't sure where the Prime games went in 
the series. As you can see, the Prime games take place after Metroid but before
Metroid II. 

---

Hello Everyone!

This guide should tell you everything you need to know about to complete the 
latest of the Metroid games; Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

This game can be very hard and trying at times, I know from personal experience,
but the feeling you get when you complete it is definitely worth it.

This guide has some useful hint & tips that should help you survive, a guide 
that will get you through the game, and a secrets section for when you've got to
the end. 

It should be everything you need.

Good luck with the game (you'll need it) and happy hunting!

Oy

---------------------------------Hints and tips---------------------------------
-------------------------------------<04HT>-------------------------------------


--Scanning--

This is very important. Not only do you need to do this to fill your LOG BOOK,
but it also allows you access to information that will help you understand your
mission. Try to scan everything you can, as some things only appear once.
At the end of this Guide is a list of what there is in the LOG BOOK and where it
can found. 
There are three different kinds of Scanning colour:
Red - Important info
Blue - Not scanned
Green - Scanned


--Combat--

Mastering how to fight properly early on in the game is essential, if somewhat
obvious. Don't forget that this also includes using the environment to your
advantage. Learning to duck behind objects and pillars can be a lifesaver at
times.


--Side stepping--

Sidestepping, like hiding behind objects can also be useful. It is also 
necessary to kill some enemies; so the sooner you learn how to do it the better.


--Ammo--

New to the Metroid series is the inclusion of Ammo on your beam weapons. 
If you need more ammo for one of them you have to use the other Beam when 
breaking open a crate or Killing an enemy. 


--Double Bomb-Jump--

Performing the Double Bomb-jump takes quite a bit of practice, but once 
you've got it you'll get it most of the time. 


             o
             |
          o  o
          |  |
    o  o  o  o
    1  2  3  4

1 - Place a morph ball bomb on the floor. Make sure you're not rolling; you 
    have to stand still.
2 - Just before the First bomb goes off, place a second one in the same place.
3 - At the top of the jump from the first bomb place a third bomb.
4 - If done right the second bomb will launch you up and the third bomb will 
    take you to a higher level.

It may take a bit of practice, but you'll get it in the end.


--Light Bubbles--

Scattered throughout Dark Aether are Light bubbles that were placed by the
Luminoth during their previous battles. There are two kinds that you will find.
One is a permanent staff with a Crystal on the end and the other is an energy
ball that you have to shoot to activate and it only lasts for so long. If you 
shoot a different beam at them different things happen:

Power Beam - - - - Activates the Energy Ball type.

Dark Beam- - - - - Nullifies it. Shoot to clear the Dark off of it.

Light Beam - - - - Turns the Light Bubble into Dark Creature destroying shield.

Annihilator Beam - Turns the Bubble into a Dark Creature destroying shield and 
                   attracts enemies to the Bubble so they kill themselves. 


--Respawning enemy trick--

Low on Health, Missiles or Ammo? Go to an area with lots of weak enemies and
kill them for their items. Then, when you've got them, leave the area and go
TWO areas away. Basically so you can't see the area on your mini-map. Go back
and the Creatures will be back.


--Using your ears--

This is one of the most important things that you must always do. Not only 
can it alert you to enemies in the area, it can also help you locate Items 
like Missile Upgrades and Energy Tanks. So just listen...

-------------------------------Weapon/Upgrade List------------------------------
-------------------------------------<05WU>-------------------------------------


Aether has an awesome selection of weapons and upgrades. So many that some 
people can't find all of the hidden ones. So here's a list of ALL the 
weapons and upgrades, some info about them, and, obviously, where you can 
find them.


--Amour--

Varia Suit:
Location: N/A
Info: This is the suit that you start with. It has reasonable defence against 
enemies, but not a lot against the harsh atmosphere of Dark Aether, where your
energy will rapidly diminish.

Dark Suit
Location: Dark Agon Temple, Dark Agon Wastes
Info: This suit gives you better overall defence, as well as increased defence
against Dark Aether's Atmosphere. It doesn't stop you getting hurt but it is 
a definite improvement.

Light Suit
Location: Main Energy Controller, Great Temple
Info: This is the best suit in the game. Not only does it give you the best 
defence against normal enemies, and complete immunity to Dark Aether's 
Atmosphere, but you can also use beams of light to warp from place to place.


--Weapon Systems--

Info: Depending of what Beam you use will change what happens:

Power Beam: This is just a stronger than normal shot. Very useful, but it can 
only go in a strait line.

Dark Beam: If you hit an enemy with this it will freeze it in place giving you
a few second to hurt it some more. This uses 5 Dark Ammo.

Light Beam: This fires multiple shots of light that can home in on the enemy 
you're a currently locked on to. This used 5 Light Ammo.

                            ---Mission File 02546---
   8 days ago, contact with Galactic Federation Trooper squad Bravo was lost.

                            ---Contract Agreement---
                Locate Federation Troopers and render assistance.

                            ---Data Confirmation---
   Last transmission received from a rouge planet located in the Dasha region 
                                 called Aether.

| Samus Aran - Aether Log 1:                                                   |
| Well, that was a smooth landing. Now my ship needs to repair its-self, and   |
| that could take some time. It's not that being on this planet is a bad       |
| thing; I am supposed to be here after all, it's just that if I have to make  |
| a quick exit and my ship isn't ready I could be in for trouble...oh well, no |
| point thinking about it, might as well start looking.                        |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Once you're in control of Samus go through the door strait in front of you by 
shooting the webbing. Take the right hand fork and you'll drop down a hole. 
Scan the panel to the right of the Shutter and you'll make the two locks disable
their armour. Shoot them to open the gate and move forward. After a couple of 
steps you'll reach what looks like a dead end but if you look to your right you 
will see cables on the floor. 

Follow them back a bit and you'll find another panel, scan it to open the way 
through. In the next area you'll find a Map Station. Use it and you'll get a 
fairly decent idea of where you are. Destroy the Webbing to your left and go 
through the door. In this room you'll see lots of troopers hanging from the 
ceiling, as well as lots of little creatures. Scan what you want, then destroy 
the webbing and move on. 

In this room you'll discover the fates of the troopers. Roll under the Gate, 
round to the right and then through the hole. Move round to the other side of 
the panel to find a Bomb slot. Use a bomb to jump up into it and then set a bomb
off to activate the power. Once this is done head back to the main section.

As you try to do so, something will bring the Troopers back to life. Use a 
charged shot to kill them in one go, and then move back through the hole to 
finish the rest of them off. Once they are all dead roll back under the gate and
active the door. 

When it has been pulled back it will reveal more 'Undead' troopers. Kill them 
and go through the door they were guarding. Jump over the crates in the next 
room and in the one after that you'll get a Cut-scene where you'll be introduced
to a new character. Follow her through the black thing.

Upon your return you'll find some disturbing news...

     Chozo Battle Suit
                                Ver. SA1-4468-VM6-P
                     Alert! Gear stolen by Unknown Creatures.

                           Space Jump Thrusters: Offline
                           Grapple Beam Launcher: Offline
                           Morph Ball Boost Unit: Offline
                           Power Bomb Generator: Offline
                             Missile Launcher: Offline
                          Morph Ball Bomb Module: Offline
                      All remaining Systems: Online and Active

With not much else to do you must move forward. Go towards the door and you'll 
find it unopenable. To the right you'll find a Morph Ball hole to go through. 
When you come out the other end you'll find more troopers to deal with. 
Through one of the doors there will be a Save Point, use it if you wish. Through
the other door is an elevator. Activate it by scanning the panel to its left, 
then step into the hologram to enjoy the ride up. Once up you'll find the way to
the right is blocked, so go left.

In this open area, scan the panel in the alcove to lift up the large crate. Move
into the area it was blocking and you'll be attacked by three Splinters. Kill 
them and then jump up on the nearby ledges. Work round and you'll find another 
panel. Scan it and shoot the two locks it exposes to drop the bridge, and then 
go through the door. Roll into a ball; go through the hole and through the door.

In the next area you'll be shown the Great Temple. The crate you sent off in the
last are will appear too. Move towards the large door with the Pink icon and 
you'll be attack by some more Splinters. Kill them and then look for a panel 
next to one of the pillars. Scan it and the crate will start to drop but get 
stuck. Shoot the section that has frayed and the crate will fall to the floor.
Jump on top of it to gain access to the door. Go through the corridor and 
scan the large panel at the end to access the next room. 

Move through the next room and towards the end you'll have to face some more 
troopers. In the next room, try to take out the turret before it kills the 
Splinters so it doesn't go for you. Once it's dead, and the Splinters as well, 
go through the hole to the right of the grate. Activate the panel on the other 
side then roll back through the hole and under the gate to get to the door.

In the next area you'll find out what really happened to the Federation 
troopers. Once you're fully informed, look for large crate with yellow on it. 
Shoot it with a charged shot and inside you'll find the: 

---------------------
---New Technology:---
--Missile Launcher---
---------------------

You'll then be attack be some more Splinters...but these ones are different.
Once they are dead, go inside the ship. Scan the door at the back to find the 
Map Station. Jump out of the hole in the ship onto the ledge and follow it round
to a circle on the floor. Scan the nearby Panel and then roll onto it as a ball.
You will be fired across the area to an otherwise inaccessible ledge. Drop down
to the ledge with the red door and use your new Missiles to open it.

Go through the hole on the right and kill the Wasps that attack you. Look up to
find the panel that you can use to activate the Cannon. In the next area fire a
missile at the cracked pillar on your left then head down to the circle below. 
To the left of this, hidden in a small alcove is another panel. Hop in the 
cannon and you'll be fired at the already cracked wall. In here go through the
small hole and follow the pipe round to the door. Activate the elevator and go
up.

Once at the top, go through into the next area and you'll see lots of flying 
creatures fly out of a hole, go inside the hole and you'll find a Save Point.
Save your game.

Go through into the next room and walk into the middle of the area...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~Boss #1:~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~Splinter Attack~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This boss has three sections to it.
The first is five Dark Splinters. Use either the Charge Beam or Missiles to get
rid of these. This shouldn't be too difficult as long as you stay moving.
Once all of them are dead, the Alpha Splinter will arrive. Make sure you SCAN 
IT, as this is the only one in the game. To kill it just keep shooting at it and
sidestep when it goes for you. Once you've damaged it enough, a portal will open
up and the Splinter will become a Dark version. 
Make sure you SCAN this Version of it too as this is counted as a separate 
enemy. Use the same basic idea as before, keep moving and shooting. Be careful 
of the spitting attack as it can get you unaware the first time. Just wear his 
health down until he's dead. 

Once it's dead it will release...something...

Seeing as you can't go anywhere you might as well pick it up.

Once you have it go through the door in front of you and up the elevator. 
Activate it in the usual way.

Go through the door at the top and into the next room to really begin your 
journey...

| Two planets in the same space huh? Oh well, either way I'd better do         |
| something about this, I can't leave because of my ship and if this planet    |
| gets destroyed...well, best to concentrate on getting that energy back. It's |
| not going to be easy, and the odds don't looks so good either. Just the way  |
| I like it.                                                                   |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Now that you know what is really going on here, it's time to get going. Go back
the way you came, down the elevator, and take a right in the main hall. You can
now unlock the Violet Luminoth door. Go through until you get to the elevator 
and go down and out the door. Bring down the Violet door again and you'll find 
yourself in a familiar place. 

When you reach the bottom section a load of Splinters attack, but before they 
can, they get taken over by some Ing. Kill or ignore them as you wish but try to
save a missile to use of the red door to the right of the area. Open the door 
and go through to find your first Energy Tank (this is the only you get for free
in the guide, look at the back of the book for the location of the rest.) Once 
you have it, go back to the large area and go right and through the door.

Roll into a ball to get through the hole and into the next room. Once there, 
drop down and look to the left for another Purple Luminoth door. Unlock it and 
go through the door it uncovers. Follow the corridor to another elevator. 
Go down.


Agon Wastes


Go through the door and the corridor beyond. When in the main area, go to the 
right, killing the new enemy if you wish. Open the Red door and use the Save 
Point inside. Go back the way you came in and go right, across the sand. Kill 
or ignore the creature and hop up and round to the right of the ledges. At the 
end of the path you will find a pillar that can be knocked down by a well-placed
Missile. Use one then go across. Knock down the one after that, and then go 
left. Jump across to the middle section then cross the bridge and through the 
door. 

Roll into a ball and go strait through to the door on the other side.
In the next room you will be introduced to the Space Pirates, and you will have 
to fight three of them. Use the narrow passage you came in through as cover and 
fire charge beams at them. When they're dead, go to the right of the passage. 
Follow the wall until you see a platform that you can get to. Jump up and follow
it round, ignoring the door as you go. 

You'll have to jump on the three pillars to advance further, but when you do go 
left. Jump over the large river of sand and you'll see another pillar that can 
be knocked down. Once it's down, go across and through the door. 
Move round the corner, killing the creatures that fly at you, and through the 
door. Move forward and in the large area...

~~~~~Sub Guardian #1:~~~~~ 
~~~~~Alpha Sandigger~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scan it first as you don't have another chance. Just avoid its attack for a 
couple of seconds and it will then be taken over by an Ing. Scan it again.
This is where it gets tricky. You have to shoot its back, while avoiding the
Bombs it lays. Use side step to get behind it. When it rears its head up fire
either a missile or charge beam to do the most damage. Repeat until its dead.
To avoid its multiple bomb attack, just avoid them, and to avoid its charge
attack sidestep quickly to the side. 

When it's dead you will be able to pick up:

---------------------
---New Technology:---
---Morph Ball Bomb---
---------------------

Use your new toy to destroy both of the doors blocking your way out, and then go
through the one opposite the door you came in through. Use a bomb to activate 
the machine, and then go through the door it reveals. In this area scan the 
Amber pole to get a message. Go back the way you came until you get back to the
area where you fought the space pirates. Now, drop down to the floor and then up
to the ledge you would go on to go back up. You'll find a door near there so go
through it.

Use the Ball to get over the wall and then through the door on the other side. 
You'll have to fight two space pirates here. When you kill them some more will 
beam in and get taken over by the Ing. Kill these stronger ones too. Once they 
are dead, a Morph ball Slot will activate itself. Hop in and detonate a bomb to
activate a small lift. 

Roll into it and follow the path round, blowing up the blockage you run into. 
Kill the three wasps when you are in the round area and hop across and into the
next lift. Repeat this for all three lenses and then the machine at the other 
end of the area will activate. Hop down and check it to open a Portal to Dark 
Aether. 


Dark Agon Wastes


Remember that the Atmosphere of Dark Aether is dangerous. Always stay in the 
light bubbles. Go forward and then to the left. Activate the Bomb Slot and it 
will also activate the one back on Aether. Go through the door it has just 
opened. In here, move through the area as slowly or as quickly as you wish and 
go through the door at the other end. Move through this area and at the end 
you'll find a Save Point.
 
Go through the nearby door, and in the next area, head left. When you reach the
second safe area, you'll meet your first Warrior Ing. Kill it, by using charge 
beams or missiles. Move on to the next safe area and then use the bubble from 
the Lightbringer to move forward. From the next stationary safe area, jump 
across the gap and activate the shield. Stay there until the next Lightbringer 
appears and then use it to move across the bridge to the door. Roll into a ball
and go quickly through the next area to the door on the other side. 

When you move into the middle of the next area...

First off make sure you Scan it. To kill it, simply keep firing Missiles and 
Charged shots at the creature. When it fires the lasers at you simply move to 
avoid them. When it jumps, it creates a shockwave when it lands. This isn't a 
problem when its jumps up to one of the ledges, but when it hits the ground you
will get hurt unless you jump over it. You may also have to jump forward as 
well. If you get too low on health, just concentrate on avoiding his attacks and
wait for your health to regenerate. 
Once he is dead you will get...

---------------------
---New Technology:---
--Space Jump Boots---
---------------------

Now, near your current position will be a platform with a permanent light area 
on it and it has one of those large cog things below it. Go there. 
Once there you will see a door right next to you. Shoot the door, but don't go 
through yet. Charge up a charge beam and keep it held as you go through the 
door. Once in the new room, shoot the Lightflyer to create a temporary Light 
area. Jump up to it then, jump down the other side and go through to door, where
you will find a Safe area. Follow the corridor and you'll find your self back in
the first area you saw when you first entered the dark world. Go across the room
and activate the Machine to create a portal back to Aether.


Agon Wastes


Move forward and three Space Pirates will beam in. Kill them and then go down 
the right passage. Use the Morph Ball Cannon to go over the wall then go through
the door. Go up until you can stand next to a statue that is in the large river
of sand. Jump on top of it then into the hole in the wall. Follow it round and 
activate the panel to access a new area. Go through the door you just unlocked.

Kill the Pirates by shooting the crates that they are standing next to with a 
missile, and then move forward. In the next area you will have to kill three 
Space Pirates, only for another two to appear. When they are dead, two more will
take up positions on gun turrets to try to shoot you. Just keep firing at them 
until they are dead, and then go through the newly opened door. Blow a hole in 
the floor and then destroy the crates to access a hole. Roll through it and worm
your way through the tunnel, past the electric fields until you reach the exit.

Kill the two Pirates when you're out and then search for the Lift Panel opposite
the corner you come out from. Go up the lift once you've found it and follow the
platform round. Kill the two pirates you run into and then go through the door. 
You'll then see a cut-scene with Dark Samus and then she'll float off. Go to the
right, through the door and activate the panel. Go back into the main section 
and through the newly opened door.

Destroy the two guns and avoid the lasers by jumping at the right time. 
In the next area kill the Pirate on the upper floor and then activate the lift. 
Go up and round and two more Pirates will beam in. Kill them and keep going 
round. Activate a bomb in the Bomb slot to open the way forward.

Kill the Two Aerotroopers and this will energise a panel. Scan it to raise three
storage units. Go over to the other control panels on the other side of the room
and you then have to scan the small Panels to raise and lower the storage 
sections. The one on the left lowers it and the one on the right raises it. So,
to figure this one out: Lower the right section once, the middle section twice 
and the left section three times. Jump from one to the other to get to the door.
Go through the hole and work your way round the tunnel, avoiding the lasers to 
get through. In the next room you will find a Save Point.

Move round to the next room and kill the two guns. When they're dead, drop down
and fire a missile at the left side of the half pipe, towards the end. This will
make a hole that leads to a door. Walk round to the hole and drop down...

~~~~~~~~~Boss #2:~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~Dark Samus~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scan it first then start to fight. Firstly don't go near her, as her Phazon body
will harm you. Fire Missiles at her until she starts to block this attack by 
raising a shied, and then just keep firing normal Beam shots at her. When her 
life is half gone, she'll charge her body up. She'll now have two new moves that
she'll jump in the air to do. One will make her gun glow yellow; this means 
that she is about to launch a Super Missile at you. Just make sure that you're 
nowhere near where you were when she fired it and you'll be all right. The 
second one is when she starts glowing blue in the air. She will then fly at you
as a Phazon ball, causing heavy damage. Avoid this by sidestepping quickly. Just
keep firing at her with everything you've got and eventually she'll fall.

When she's disintegrated, go up the new elevator and though the only available 
door. Inside you'll find the...

Leave the room and go right use your new toy to open the shutter then go through
the door. Open the next two shutters and go through the door in front of you. 
Kill the two Grenade Troopers in here and then use the Dark beam to activate the
Portal. Go through.


Dark Agon Wastes


Move to the safe area in front of you then, when facing back the way you came 
in, shoot the cover to your right with a Missile. Fire a Dark shot at the 
crystal to lower the ledge. Jump up, then to the next one, then over to the 
place where the Temple Key is and pick it up.

============================

Hop back down on to the higher of the two ledges, and then to the ledge on your 
left. Go through the door. Go through this area, killing the Ing only if you 
want to then, in the next room, go right and through the door. Move through the
corridor and into the half pipe. Move over to the other side then fire a Dark 
shot at the Crystal to lower the platform. Go up and through the door. In here 
you'll find a Save Point. Use it if you wish then continue onwards. 

Roll through the next area, using a bomb to jump the gap between over the 
Phazon. Go down the lift and then to the right. Follow the ledge until you see a
panel in front of you. Scan it to activate the first lock. Next you have to jump
onto the floating platforms and follow then to the top to find the Second panel.
Jump down to the right and behind a load of crates you'll find the final Panel. 
Go through the door you just opened. 

Move across the ledges to get to the next door, but you might want to be careful
of the creatures in here, they can be annoying. In this room you'll see two 
rings of small creatures. Jump down and go over to the other side of the lake. 
From here you will see two crystals that can be shot to lower the platforms, 
but those small creatures are in the way. Kill them with the normal beam then 
shot the crystal with the Dark beam. Go up the two platforms and through the 
door to find...

---------------------
---New Technology:---
-----Light Beam------
---------------------

Leave the room and the go through the door to your left. Kill the Webbing with a
Light shot then, in the next room, head through the door to your left. Follow 
the passage and in the next area, you'll see another Temple Key. When you go to
pick it up, an Ing will take it. You will then have to fight your way through 
SIX Ing Warriors to get it back, use the Light beam to kill most of them, then 
Missiles after that. Then, when they are all dead, pick up the key.

Go back the way you came then go through the door to your left. Go through the 
corridor and then take a right in the next room. Use a Light shot to activate 
the Portal then go through.


Agon Wastes


Go forward and through the Dark door. Move forward and through the door in front
of you, then through the door to the right of you in the room beyond that. 
Go down the corridor and then drop off the Ledge in the next room. Go through 
the door in front of you and then through the corridor beyond that. In this 
room, drop to the floor, after killing the Aerotroopers, and then go through the
door to your left, under the ledge. Use the Cannon to go over the wall then, in 
the next room, activate the portal and go through. 


Dark Agon Wastes


Move forward and go down the right passage. Kill the Lightflyer and then go 
through into a safe area in the next room. Above the door you just came in 
through is a Dark door. Go through to find a Save Point. Once you've saved, 
leave the room and go to the safe area to the right. Go around to the safe area
near the Red door and go through. Follow the corridor to a large room with a 
locked door in front of you. This is the Entrance to the Temple. Go to the left
and you'll find a door. Inside will be the Final Temple Key.

~~~Temple Guardian #1:~~~~
~~~~~~~~~Amorbis~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Firstly, note that there are two scans in this fight. One is the Loose Amorbis 
and the other is when it is attached to the Sphere. 
Right, first make sure that you are always in one of the permanent Safe areas. 
This will save moving around. You have to shoot Amorbis to make its shell fall 
off. Try to aim at where he is going to be to hit him.
When you have damaged it enough, it will attach it's self to the Sphere. Fire at
its head and then, when you've hurt it enough again, it will try to suck you in.
Go into your ball and detonate a bomb in its mouth to damage it.
You will then have to repeat this process two more times, but with two, then 
three Amorbises. To reach them from your safe zone you will have to travel, but
if you go in your ball you will get around quicker. 

After a long battle you will get...

Jump onto the new platform and go into the Energy Control Room. You will 
automatically pick the energy up, now all you have to do is get it back to 
Aether's Temple. Go back to the place where you fought the boss and you'll find
a load of Ing there. Ignore them and go back through the door in front of you. 
Follow the corridor and on the other side you will be back in the room where you
fought the Jump Guardian. In front of you, on the opposite side of the room, you
will be able to see two doors, one black and one blue, go through the blue one.
Jump over the wall and, in the next room, either ignore the Pirates or kill 
them. Once you decided, go through the portal.


Agon Wastes


Go forward and right, then into the Cannon to get over the wall. Move left and 
onto the platforms and then jump over to the door to the left. Go through the 
corridor and then strait forward to the temple. Once you're in the main energy 
section you will put the energy back in the temple. With that done, you must now
go back to the Great Temple to check up on the next objective. 

Go back out of the temple, in the large area after the one where you fought the
Bomb guardian, go right through the alcove. Follow the tunnel through to the 
large area you saw when you first came here then drop down to the floor. Cross 
the sand and go through the door opposite the one you came in through. Follow 
the corridor to the lift and take it up. 


Temple Grounds


Go through the door and follow the corridor beyond. Go round to the left and 
then follow the path to a door. Go through and then through the hole to get to 
another door. Go out into the main area of the room and through the door you 
will be able to see in front of you. Take the lift up.

At the top go into the main area and then go left. Go up the lift and you'll 
have a talk with U-Mos.

Go back down the lift and, in the main room, take a left. Bring down the Amber 
shutter and go through the door. Use a Light shot to move the Pillar then go 
through the door beyond it, then down the lift in the next room. Go outside and
bring down the Amber Shutter and then go forward and follow the curve to the 
door. In this room jump up on the ledge then go through the Portal that you will
see. 


Sky Temple Grounds


Go through the door in front of you then follow the corridor round till you get
a slope in front of you. Go up then roll into a ball and go into the small lifts
on the right. Go up and plant a bomb in the first bomb slot you see. This will 
bring down a panel to stop you accessing the others, but if you go back down the
lift then up the other one, you can the go round to the third one, bomb that, 
then go back to the second one and bomb that, then bomb the first one and the 
platform will be ready to move. Go onto the platform and you'll then have to 
shoot the creature that fly at you. When it gets to the end you will have to 
jump to get to the portal.


Temple Grounds


Follow the path round, you will have to kill Pirates and shot Light Shots at 
crystals to do it. First you will have to Kill two Dark Pirates, and then shoot
the crystal. Then you will have to kill a Grenade Pirate the turn around to 
shoot the crystal. Then you will be Pirate free for the third one. Bring down 
the Amber shutter blocking the door and then go through till you find the lift.
Take it to...


Torvus Bog


Go forward, through the corridor and then you'll be introduced to Torvus Bog. To
your left, on a platform, is a Red door. Inside is a Save Point. Go into the 
water and go under the tree to find a Dark door. Go through. Roll into a Ball to
get under the wreckage and then jump up the ledges to get to the door. Go into 
the area and on your right will be a Red door so go through it. Roll into a Ball
and go through this area to the room beyond. 

Scan the panel and the bridge will rise up. Go across and through the door. 
Follow the corridor and in the next room you will have to dispatch two annoying
creatures. When they are dead hop onto one of the pillars and then up to the 
ledge. Form there you can get to the bridge and then to the Portal.


Dark Torvus Bog


Follow the bridge and you'll see a Bomb slot. Use it and the bridge will swing 
round. Go back to the portal and go through.


Torvus Bog


When you arrive you will have to face two Dark Pirate Commandoes. Use your Light
beam to kill them, or just wait for a few minutes and they will disappear. When 
they are gone, follow the bridge and you get a Missile Upgrade and then go 
through the door. 

At the end of the ledge you are on in here is a hole for you Ball, follow it and
a plant on the wall will try to grab you, either try to get past without it 
getting you or drop down and kill it. Either way, when you've followed the whole
you have to go through a tunnel to get to the other side. Go through the door.
Scan the panel to activate a Cannon. Use it to get up on to the bridge and then 
go through the door. Follow the corridor to the door.

In this room you will have to kill a slew of enemies before you can proceed. 
First it is just one single Space pirate, no trouble. Then it's Two 
Aerotroopers, not bad. Then, to finish off, it's Four Space Pirates.

When they are dead you will get...

Once you've got it take the Elevator Up. Use a Super Missile to open the door 
then a bomb to activate the machine. Go through the door and Scan the Hologram 
Projector.

Once you listened to the message, go back and then drop down the lift. Scan the 
Hologram in the middle of the room and you will activate a lift. Go down. You 
should see an Emerald Shutter nearby. Bring it down and go through the door it 
was guarding. Go through the corridor, ignoring the Grenchler and then roll into
a ball to get under the low roof. Go through the door. In this room you will 
have to fight Two Pirate Commandoes. When they are dead go through the door that
the Lasers we're blocking.

In here you will find a portal. Activate it and go through.


Dark Torvus Bog


Go through the door and in the next room move into the middle. You will then be 
attacked by Two Hunter Ings. The Best way to deal with these is to use a Light 
shot on the Energy ball when they are near you and the Light will kill them. On 
one of the tree logs is a platform. Jump to it, then to the next one. Keep going
up and then through the door you find at the top. Follow the path and you will 
find a Save Point in here. Use it then keep following the path round.

Kill the two Lightflyers to make some safe areas and then go through the door. 
Roll into a ball to get through the hole and then you'll probably fall under the
sand blocks. Use the Bombs to jump up and to destroy the blocks that block your 
way up. In the next room you will see a larger than normal Ing run off. Wait in
the below safe area until your health is at Maximum then follow it through...

Right, firstly, bear in mind that there is no Safe area for this boss, so no 
health regeneration, but the Boss sometimes drop health picks-ups so keep an 
eye out for them. Oh and don't forget to Scan it. First just keep shooting at 
it with whatever you've got. Once its health is down to about 3/4 it will roll 
into a ball and try to ram you. Avoid it by turning into a ball yourself. After
a while it will turn into the goo it usually does and start following you 
around. When it does this, place Bombs on the ground so that they blow up on top
of it. Also, tons of Inglets will keep appearing so kill them for health. Repeat
this until it dies to claim victory and the...

Point. Go back to the larger room and the drop down to the floor. Go through to 
the room with the Portal and go through.


Torvus Bog


Leave the room and walk towards the door in front of you. Just before you go 
through it, roll in the Ball and use the Boost to go up the half pipe. Follow 
the ledges round and then through the door. Follow the corridor round then in 
the next room use the Boost to bring down the shutter by going in the Spinner. 
Go through the grate and drop to the ledge just beyond it. Jump over to the 
middle of the bridge and then forward towards the Light door. Go through.
Follow the corridor and then go through the door to your left in the room 
beyond. Follow this corridor and then take the Lift back up.


Temple Grounds


Go through the door and follow the two corridors. In the first one, just ignore 
the Wasps and in the second one you will have to fight your way past several 
Dark Troopers. At the end of the corridor use a Super Missile to open the door.
Go through this place, past the Portal and through the door. Follow the corridor
up and then use the Boost in the half-pipe. On one side will be a Hole that the
Ball can get in to. Follow it round, using the boost to get over the Sand blocks
and eventually you will reach a large room.

In this room are Four Spinners, each has a different colour and each spins a 
different set on panels on the floor. 
There are five rings on the floor and I will label them 1 to 5 with '1' being 
the outer one. The idea is to rotate all the rings so that they all light up.

Purple spins 1 and 2
Blue spins 2 and 3
Yellow spins 3 and 4
Red spins 4 and 5.

To solve this one:
Spin Purple until 1 is light.
Spin Blue until 2 is light.
Spin Yellow until 3 is light.
Spin Red until 4 and 5 are light.

It's as simple as that.
Once the Shield is down you will be able to pick up...

Use your new toy to open the door out of this room and then follow the corridor.
Use the Ball to get through the hole to your right then follow the next room 
towards the door. Go through the three rooms beyond and you will reach the 
elevator.


Torvus Bog


Go forward and through the corridor then through the Blue door to that is in 
front of you. Go through this room to the other side and then through the door 
that is just to your left. Follow the room and, in the round area, go through 
the hole that is in front of you, on the other side of the lift, and then open 
the door. Take the lift inside down then go through the door.

Jump onto the platforms to get to a Save Point if you want to use it then drop 
down into the water. Drop down to the middle sections second ledge and on one of
the three ledges you will see a Panel that you will be able to activate by 
facing it front. This will bring out a platform that you will be able to stand 
on. Use the Cannon in the middle of the area to shoot your-self back up, and 
then drop down to the Platform you just created. You will find a Missile Upgrade
in front of a Purple door. Use the Seeker Launcher to open the door then go 
through. In this area, a strange blue ball will fly past you. 

Follow it and you'll see the return of an old friend.
When it's gone, drop into the water and kill the two Bloggs to activate the 
Spinner then use it to line the Red sections up. Staying as a ball, roll into 
the red pipe and open the door it leads you to. Use the Bubbles to raise your 
self to the hologram to get shot towards the middle of this room. Go across and
use the bubbles to float up at the far end. You will then get shoot to an open 
area so go through the door.

Jump into the water and go forward till you go past a pillar on you left then 
turn left to see the beginnings of some step you can use to get out of the water
with. Go through the Dark door. Follow the corridor and in the next room 
activate the Panel. Go through the door to your right and through the corridor 
beyond. You'll find your self in familiar surroundings. Go into the water and 
kill the three Blogglings then use the Spinner but this time line up the Blue 
lines. Go through the blue hole and the through the door. 

Go through this corridor by destroying the block, dropping down then using a 
bomb in the slot to deactivate the fan, and then work your way to the door on 
the other side. Go into the water and fire Dark shots at the bottom of the two 
Platforms to flip them over then get out using the step near where you got in. 
Use the platforms to get to the other side of the room and activate a Bomb Slot.
Go to where the grate open and go through the Portal.


Dark Torvus Bog


Leave the safe area and Two Dark Pirate Commandoes will show up. Kill them with 
the light beam then, from the bubble with the portal, go right and up to the 
platform. Turn round and jump to the next one, then use the Boost ball in the 
Spinner. With that done, go back through the portal.


Torvus Bog


Before you get out of the water, shoot the bottom of the Platforms again. Get 
out of the water and you'll find a new platform next to the Bomb slot. Use it to
the get to the Cannon, and then it will fire you up to the door. Go through. Go 
through the corridor than in the next room activate the panel. This will cause 
the middle section to rise up. Before you go down, if you want to head up and 
use the Save Point, you should. Anyway, go through the door you just uncovered 
and follow the room beyond down. Drop down and then turn around to find a door.
Go through to find...

Scan it first. To kill it you have to hit it when its mouth is open. This is 
incredibly frustrating however as by the time it opens its mouth; there is only 
enough time to fire, but not enough to dodge the attack. Therefore it is likely 
that you will get hurt every time you hurt it. To make matters even more 
annoying, it won't always open its mouth meaning you get hit for no reason. You
just have to keep trying to hit it. Oh, and when it fires its blasts at you, if
you are moving, they will be aim at where you will be, so be careful.

When it's dead, jump up to where one of the fans was, and then to the platform 
you should be able to see. From there you will be able to reach the door. Go 
through and in the next room you will a lot of small creatures. Turn around when
you are in front of them and jump up. If you are in the right place you will see
a portal so go through it.

Head up the large steps and out into the main room. Jump till you area on level 
with the three doors and go through the Dark one. Follow the corridor to the 
next room. Go strait ahead and drop into the water. In front of you will be Bomb
slot. Activate it and the get out of the water. Jump up to the Portal and go 
through.


Dark Torvus Bog


Fight the two creatures in here if you want to, but either way, go through the 
door that is currently to your right. Go into the Hologram and then time your 
movement through the main section. Go strait through the area, ignoring the Ing
and then go through the room beyond as well.

Fire a Dark shot at the Crystal then Two Dark Trooper will beam in, kill them 
with two charged Light shots from the platform you are on, then follow the new 
platforms round to the White door. Go through the corridor then drop down in the
next room. 

Kill the Ing by Energising the Light crystal at the right time, and then use the
Ledges around the edge of the area to get to the cannon. Go up and through the 
Red door will be a Save Point. Drop down when you are ready, then find the hole
in the floor go inside the cage section and activate the Bomb slot. Go through
the door that it points you to and follow the corridor beyond.

In this room, drop down and...

Firstly, make sure you Scan it. The next step is to keep firing at its eye. When
you have done this enough it will get angry and try to fire the Grapple beam at 
you. You then have to put one of the Blue pillars between you and it so that the
Grapple beam hits the pillar. When it's stuck on the Pillar, go round to its 
back and fire a Super missile there. Repeat this process until it looses the 
shell off its back. When it does this, switch to the Light beam and fire at its
eye. At first it will only flash yellow, but after a few hits it will start 
flashing red. Keep firing and it should die within seconds. 

When it is dead, pick up the...

Go through the corridor beyond and then to the right, through the Light door. 
Follow the corridor and then drop down to the floor. Go through the portal. 


Torvus Bog


Go round the platforms and through the Light door at the top of the room then 
follow the corridor. Go up to the surface and, after using the Save point if you
wish, go through the door and up the Elevator. Go strait ahead, past the 
elevator and through the door and corridor beyond. Go into the Cannon on your 
right, and then jump down to the Light door that is on your right. Go through 
this corridor in the usual manner, the Ball. Go into the middle of the bridge 
then jump across to the portal and go through. 


Dark Torvus Bog


Jump onto the bridge then go right, opening the Green door and going through. 
Use a Light shot to raise the platform then use the Ball to get through the 
hole.In the next room, roll into the Ball again and then go through the hole to 
your left. On the other side, use the Grapple beam to get the temple Key.

the pipe to the temple entrance. Before you step into the Hologram, go to the 
left and under a branch to get to a door that leads to an Ammo Recharge room. 
Use it then go back and step into the Hologram. 
This will then take you up to meet...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At first, is asleep in its cocoon. Shoot the four points with missiles to wake 
it up. 
Scan it first. At first it will only circle the platform, releasing small flying
creature that fly at you. Shoot these for health and ammo. When it dives into 
the water, watch your Radar to see where it is going to surface and fire a 
charged shot at it. Missiles don't work as well, and Super missile have no 
affect what so ever. When it crashes down into the poison it will create a 
ripple that you will have to jump over to avoid, if you don't you'll get pushed
out into the poison and have to get back to the platform. After a white it will
change its tactics and try to grab you with its tongue. Fire charge beams at it
and it should let you go. 
Keep doing this to kill it.

When it is dead...

~~~Temple Guardian #2:~~~~ 
~~~~~~~~~~Part 2~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~Chykka - Adult~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right, first make sure you scan it. This boss is incredibly annoying; so if you
don't do it first time, don't worry. 
Anyway, first you have to stun it, because of the speed at which it can react; 
Charge Beams are out of the question, Missiles and Super Missiles don't work, as
do the Light and Dark beam. So the only thing you can do is to use the Rapid 
fire of the Power beam. 
If you're good with your aim, you can try to fire a charged shot at where you 
think it's going to be, but this is hit-and-miss. 
Its attack are firing acid at you, jump to avoid, and ramming you, you will see
it back up when it's going to do this, so use the Grapple beam and go to one of 
the other platforms. 
When it's been hurt enough, its wings will start to glow, and it will lean one 
of two ways. If it leans so it faces right then go to the platform on you left, 
and if it leans so it is facing left then go the platform to your right. 
Basically you have to get behind it to hurt it. 
When you are on the correct platform, fire Missiles at it to damage on of its 
wings. Repeat this for all four wings and it will fall into the Acid. 
When it comes back out it will be infused will Darkness. Make sure you scan this
version of it too. 
Fire light shot's at its sac to damage it the most. It will release tiny flying
things that will slowly follow you until they die, so kill them for pickups, but
make sure you scan them too. Its attack will be basically the same as before. 
When you've hurt it enough, it will turn back to normal. Then you have to do the
whole thing over again for a second time. 

Whew...
Once it's dead you'll get...

Use your new toy to find the hidden platforms to the high up door. Go through, 
use a bomb, then collect the energy. Go back to the main area and down the lift 
then through the Light door in front of you. Go through the tunnel, then use a 
Light shot to raise the platform to get to the door on the left. Go through this
area, by raising the platform, then rolling into a ball to get through the 
tunnel. Go to the middle of the bridge then jump to the portal and go through.


Torvus Bog


Jump to the bridge and go right. Go through this area using the Ball and then go
through the door on your right. Go through this room then up the elevator in the
room beyond. Go up the large elevator in front of you and through to the temple
and put back the energy. 

Go back, down the lift then strait ahead, through the Dark door. Go through this
corridor and then drop down and go through the door to your left. Roll through 
this area and then go strait through the next two areas to get to the lift. Take
it up.


Temple Grounds


Keep going forward until you get to a half pipe. Three Dark Commandoes will warp
in here, ignore them and go through the door in front of you. Go through and up
the lift.

Go forward, through the corridor and then right in the main hall. Go up the lift
and talk to U-Mos.

|______________________________________________________________________________|

Go back down the lift then strait ahead in the main room. There is a save point 
in the hole you your right, so use it if you wish. Go through the door and down
the lift. 

Go forward and drop down off the ledge and go through the door in front of you.
Switch to the Dark Visor and then use the Seeker Missile to open the door to get
through. Kill the three Space Pirates in here then bring down the Emerald 
shutter and go through. Destroy the two guns you find in this corridor then go 
down the lift at the end. 


Sanctuary Fortress


Go forward and kill the two guns in the first corridor then scan the panel to 
the left to rotate the door open. Go forward and then use the Spinner to rotate
the circle so that you can get to the door. On the bridge, you will have to 
fight your way through about five Pirate Commandoes. Use whatever you've got to
kill them, and then go through the Light door. 

Destroy the small ball things then in the next area you have to use the Dark 
Visor to find the Seeker Missile points. When the gate is down a new and very 
annoying enemy will appear. Ignore it and jump up and through the door. In this
area you will to fight one of the Sentry robots. Shoot at its head until it 
blows up then go into your morph ball. When it starts spinning quickly, charge 
up a boost and ram into it. This will cause it to expose it weak point, so just
place a bomb under it to finish it off. When it's dead, you will find a red door
down one of the paths. Go in to find a save point. 

Leave the room then go into the main section of the room. Ignore the flying 
things and quickly jump from platform to platform and then go through the Blue 
door at the top.

Scan the panel in front of you to find the code for the machine:

Amber (Yellow)
Cobalt (Blue)
Crimson (Red)
Emerald (Green)

Go into the hole to your left and activate the Bomb slots in that order then go
through the new path. Go through this room, killing or ignoring the robots then
activate the Portal at the end and go through.


Ing Hive


Go forward and right to find a Dark door, so go through it. Activate the lift 
and go up, then through the door. Drop down and the kill as many of the flying 
creature as you feel necessary, then hook onto the Grapple Point and swing 
across. Turn round and switch to the Dark Visor and the Use the Seeker Missiles.
Go through the Portal.


Sanctuary Fortress


Go through the door in front of you and then use a dark shot to kill the Purple
creature. Use the Morph Ball in the hole to your right and if one of the 
creatures grabs you just rotate the stick. Go through the door on the other 
side. Roll into a ball and go through the hole you your right till you see a 
bomb slot. 
Use it then you will have a puzzle to solve. 
The idea is to line up the colours so that the beams can pass through them.

Shoot the Top Left
Shoot the Top Right
Shoot the Bottom Left
Shoot the Bottom Right

Do this and then use a bomb in the new slot. Before you head back, there is a 
Save Point through the Red door. Anyway, go back through the hole and then in 
the open area, use the stopped ring to go round the energy ball of across to the
other side. Go into your ball again and then use the Spinner to open the access.
To your right, on this side of the hole will be a lift, so activate it and go 
up. Go forward and drop down to the floor and then kill or ignore the robot. 
Then go through the door. 

Drop down and the two robots in here will get taken over by the Ing. Kill them 
in the same manner as the normal ones, then use the platforms to get to the door
at the top, it's the one that you have to use two Grapple Points to get to.
Go through this place by using a Bomb then Scan the Hologram. 

Go back to the large room and swing back to the middle section. Go right then 
and bring down the Cobalt shutter. Go through the door. Jump to the platform to
the right, them to the next one. Turn round and scan the thing on the side of 
the platform. Use the cannon and then go through the near by door. In here you
will see a creature moving around the wall, behind some glass. Scan it as it 
only appears once.

~~~~~Sub Guardian #5:~~~~~
~~~~~Spider Guardian~~~~~~

This one is really tough. It is split into four stages each one harder than the 
last. 
Firstly, don't go near the creature, as it will hurt you. Now, the idea is to 
direct the creature into the electric pillars using the Bomb slots. But, the 
Bomb slots are only active when the creature glows green. To get the creature to
glow green, you have to hit it with two bombs. When you hit it with one bomb it 
goes red and speeds up, but both the green and red phases don't last forever so
you'll have to be quick. But if you are finding time too tight, you can extend 
the green time by hitting it with another bomb again. Place a bomb in front of 
it then move out of the way to stop it hitting you. Also, while you are doing 
this, you have to move round the area to get near the Bomb slot ready to 
activate it. 
Got all that?
Right, for the first section, make sure that you stay on the outer edges of the
area. Work your way round till you are on top, then use this place to hit it and
then move out of the way. Do this till the slot is active and go there quickly,
and the creature will run into the electric pillar.
For the second section you will have to use the Boost ball to get into a good 
position. The best time to hit it is to drop down from either side, placing 
bombs as you go, just before it is about to go up the section near you. When its
gone green a platform will extend so you can get to the slot so boost up the 
left and get there quickly.
For the third stage use the boost to get to the top, then drop down, placing 
bombs again, to try and hit it, then when it's green go to the top and drop down
to get to the slot. If you have to go through the creature to get to it, so be 
it.
Go across and get some health from the boxes. For the final step, you have to do
three things. First drop down then get the creature green any way, then activate
the slot, but make sure that the creature isn't under you when you do it. If 
done right then the creature will hurt itself. 
For the second thing you have to do step one, then go and activate the second 
slot before it turns back to blue. This is extremely difficult, so just take 
your time and remember that it's better to save health than to get yourself 
killed trying to get to a bomb slot.
For the final one, first you have to do one, then two then get all the way you 
to the third slot to finally kill the f**king thing. 

When it's dead you'll get...

-----Spider Ball-----

Was it worth it? Umm...YES!
Anyway, go back in to the boss area and then drop down. Go up the right side and
the follow the spider track till you find a Missile Upgrade in front of a hole. 
Go through the hole and then up the Spider track and then through the door. Go 
down the lift and then through the door. Use the Spider track to get to the 
other side and go through this area to the door on the other side. 

While going through the machine that had been attached to the wall will come 
alive and try to kill you, kill or ignore them as you wish. Go through the hole
and through to the next room then drop down to the floor using the Save point to
the left if you wish. Go through the door that leads out of the place and then 
drop down and go through the door in the next room. In this room you will see 
the worrying site of tiny blue bots floating around. Move forward and when you 
get to the Bridge you'll be in for a surprise.

When she's gone, go into your morph ball and then go left and behind you to find
a morph ball track. 
Use it to get across the gap, and then go through the door. 
Follow the corridor and then go up the elevator. 


Temple Grounds


Go forward, through the corridor with two guns in it and then into the next 
room. Go forward and jump up to the low ledge then through the Blue door. Follow
the corridor then the room beyond to get to an elevator. Go forward, using the 
Save Point on your left in you want and then, in the large room, go to the left
and down the elevator that way. Go forward, ignoring the Commandoes that warp 
in, and follow the next few corridors to the elevator.


Torvus Bog


Go forward and when you have the choice to go forward or right, hop on to the 
ledge to your left and go through the Blue door. Go through this corridor using
the ball and the go through the door just to your left. Keep going forward, past
the small elevator and then through the hole to get to a big elevator that you
can take down. Go forward. 

In the main area, go up if you want to save and then go down into the water to 
the bottom and through the door you find there. Go down the large steps and at 
the bottom, find the door and go through. Drop down to the floor and then go 
strait ahead to the Spider Track, then go up and through the portal you find 
there. 


Dark Torvus Bog


Go forward and...

~~~~~Sub Guardian #6:~~~~~
~~~Power Bomb Guardian~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one is very annoying. Scan it first though. Right, the idea is the use the
Spider Ball Tracks to go up and detonate a Bomb in each of the four Bomb Slots.
This made tricky because of the Power Bombs that the boss throws out, and the 
Inglets that try to knock you off. There is only one way up to the maze of 
Tracks so try to go for the furthest ones first. This will make the later stages
easier. There is no real help I can give you here except maybe to say that the 
Power bombs are thrown to where you will be when it lands, so try to confuse the
Boss, by going the wrong way. Also, be sure to keep and eye on your health, and
always keep moving. 

When it's dead, go up the Track to find a way to...

Go through the door with your new toy and then jump up to the portal and go 
through.


Torvus Bog


Go up the large step and into the large area, and then go to the top. Go through
the door and up the lift. Go forwards, past the lift and through the door. 
You may have to fight some Commandoes in this room. Go through the door to the 
left and the through the tunnel. Go forward, through three areas and then up the
lift.


Temple Grounds


Go forward and then through the area with the wasps, then the two areas beyond 
that. Go through this area and through the door that will be strain in front of
you when you are in the half-pipe. Go up the elevator. Go forward and then to 
the right in the large room. Go down the elevator. Go forward through two areas
then go left to a blue door. Follow this corridor, destroying the two guns and 
then go down the Elevator.


Sanctuary Fortress


Go forward, destroying the two guns and then use the Spider Track to get over 
the gap. Go through the door and then through the corridor beyond. In this room
you will have to fight two Ingsmashers. This is made difficult by the tight 
space, but if you jump up to the highest platform you should be mostly safe. 
In the next room, use the save point on you right if you wish, then go up to 
the top of the room and through the blue door. Go through the tunnel then go 
through the large room, until you can see the sealed area with the glass. Go up
the Spider Track and then through the door and up the elevator. 

Go forward and in the next area, use the Spider Ball to get over the wall. In 
the next room, go forward and use the second elevator on your left. Go up and 
then use a Power Bomb on the Creates in front of you and to the left. It's the 
ones that have fallen. Place a Bomb in the slot to active a puzzle.

This one is the same as the last one:

Hit the Bottom-Left one three times.
Hit the Top-Left one twice.
Hit the Bottom-Right one twice.

With this done, bomb the Slot, and the second ring will stop. Go into the main 
area, by going down the lift then finding on of the holes, and stand next to it.
You should see a Spider track that you can use. At the end boost off and then go
through the door. 

In this room you will see a bunch of Pirates get them selves killed. 
Go through the door to your right, it will open automatically when you go near 
it, then through the door beyond. There is a door to your right so go through 
and ...

~~~~~~~~~Boss #4:~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~Dark Samus #2~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First: Scan her. This fight is similar to the last one you had with her, but 
this time she has new moves. 
While you're going you the lift, just keep firing Charge Beams and Super 
Missiles at her, and make sure to avoid her attack, which are pretty much all 
the same as before. 
When the lift stops, things get more interesting. To hit her, use the standard 
Missiles, Charge beams and Super Missiles, but it's her new moves that might 
throw you. When she is in her Ball, the best idea is to just stay out of her 
way, but if you can hit her with a Charge beam she will stop. Her newest move 
is where she turns into those tiny balls of blue stuff. When she does this, 
switch to the Dark Visor and then beat her up as usual, switching back when you 
can no longer see her. Just avoid her moves, and keep hitting her and eventually
she'll fall...literally...

When she gone, go through the new hale in the wall and drop down to the ledge.
Go round and you'll find a portal so go through. 


Ing Hive


Go back round and up the Spider Track to get into the main area. Go into the 
near by Spinner and spin until the Track is in the right position. Then use the
track to get up to a ledge. The jump across and go through the Portal.

Jump forward and you'll get...

Jump down and use your new toy to find the three Emitters. Shoot them to 
activate the lift, and then go down. Go into this room and all the doors will 
lock. Switch to the Echo Visor to find the machine and the kill it to open the 
doors. Go left and round to the door. Drop down and the go through one of the 
hole to get to the other side of the glass then go through the Dark door. Go 
through this corridor and the one after to get to an elevator that you can take
down.

Go over the Track and then go round to the door. Go through the tunnel. Opposite
you is a Yellow door that can be destroyed with a Power Bomb, go through it. 
Go through this area, destroying the two guns and through the door on the other
side. Drop down and kill the two machines, then look at the machine in the large
tube. Scan it. Once that is done, use the Echo Visor to find the three emitters
to open the door. Go through the Portal.


Ing Hive


Kill the two Hunters in here then use the Echo Visor to find the four emitters
to open the door. Scan the panel and the drop down and go through the Portal.


Sanctuary Fortress


Go up the Spider Track and...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~Boss #5:~~~~~~~~~
~~Caretaker Class drone~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, so this isn't really a Boss, but it feels like one. Anyway, make sure that
you stay on the track, because if you fall off you will be electrocuted by the 
floor. 
There are three sections to this.
The first one is easy. Just move round the Track and keep away from the pincers,
using the boost to jump if it gets too close. When it drops its sensor, line up 
and hit it by boost jumping at it. Do this three times and a larger one will pop
out. Destroy this to damage it. 
Do the same for the second section, but this time you will have to jump because
of the break in the Track. 
The third one gets harder because the Track is made of three pieces.
Just keep trying and you'll get it in the end. 

Go up once it's dead and follow the track to get to a door. Go through. Switch 
to the Echo visor to kill the machine, and then hop into the cannon. This will 
fire you all the way to the top. Go through the door. Go onto the Rotating 
platforms and then jump over to the platforms. Kill the two Robots then go round
to the right, jump up to the White door, but don't go through it, instead go 
onto the Spider track to the right and then bomb up to the other one. Follow it 
along to a cannon the use it to get to another Track. Follow this one along till
you get to a rotating section. The idea of these is to go on to them then, when 
you are between the two red poles, place a bomb to jump at the right time.

Follow this round and on the large section you will be able to get to the left,
going further up, or the right and to a bomb slot. Go right and detonate a bomb.
Then go through the Portal. 


Ing Hive


Ignore the Commandoes and go through the door to your right. Swing across the 
gap and then drop down to get to a portal and go through.


Sanctuary Fortress


Go up to the right and through the door. Kill the robot and go across the 
bridge. Drop down behind the cage, past the bomb slot and scan the panel, and 
then go through the Portal. 


Ing Hive


Swing across, ignoring the bees and then go through the portal.


Sanctuary Fortress


Go to the left platform and hop into the Spinner to spin the machine round. Kill
the robot and then jump across to the next platform. Kill the second robot and 
then use the Spinner. Repeat the process for the other two on the other side and
then go back through the Portal.


Ing Hive


Swing across, ignoring the bees and then go through the portal.


Sanctuary Fortress


Go forward and activate the Bomb slot. Pick up the...

---------------------
---New Technology:---
-----Screw Attack----
---------------------

Use your new toy to get to the door, then to get to the next door in the next 
room. It may take some practice to get the timing of the jumps right, but you'll
get it in the end. In the large area go forward and go through the Light door in
front of you. Scan the panel to bring down the Grapple point then swing across,
then go through the door. Go through the Dark door in front of you. Go through 
this room, over the wall and through the Dark door. Go forward and up the Track
and through the door. Go down the lift and then go over the Track and to your 
left. Go through the Portal


Ing Hive


Go forward and then right, ignoring the Commandoes that warp in, and you should
see a Spider Track on the wall. Go up and follow I round to a Temple Key. Just 
bomb the Block blocking your way.

============================

============================

Once you've got if, follow the Track back, and then go back through the portal.


Sanctuary Fortress


Go forward and a little to the left and you will see a Spider Track. Follow it 
over the wall and then go through the door. Go through the hole and through the
door at the other end. Go through the door in front of you, and then go through
this room, till you see another door to go through. Drop down to the floor and 
go through the portal to your left.

Jump up to the platform the go round it to the left; you should see another one
and then jump up to a door. Go through. In this room, jump towards the Wall Jump
Surface and make sure that the Screw Attack is active when you hit it. Press the
jump button at the right time to go all the way up to the top. This make take 
some practice, but keep trying. Once you're at the top go through the door and 
pick up the Temple Key.

============================

=                          =
============================

Deactivate the shield using the Panel, and then kill the two commandos from this
safe vantage point. From here, use the Screw Attack to jump over to the other 
side and then go through the portal. 


Sanctuary Fortress


Kill the two Aerotroopers and then go left, through the Light door. Use the 
Grapple Beam to swing across the gap and then through the next door. Go through
the Dark door in front of you, then through the next room. In the room after 
that, go through the Portal


Ing Hive


Go through the Light door and, in the next room, use the Echo Visor to find the
four emitters. Shoot them and open the door. 

Go into the large area to your right and then jump onto one of the platforms. 
Jump up to the round platform then use the Spider Ball to stick to the large 
ball. Work your way around till you find a Track that goes up from the main 
ball. Use the Boost to get to a higher ring, and then use the Boost to get the 
Temple Key.

============================
=                          =
= Ing Hive Temple Keys:    =
= 1 - Found                =

= 3 - Found                =
=                          =
============================

Right, now get back onto one of the higher round platforms, and then look for 
the door, that doesn't have two Red beams near it. Go through and in the room 
beyond, kill the two Ing Warriors. Go into the next room to find and Ammo 
Station. Go back to the main area with the round ball and then hop down to the 
moving platform. Look for a Red door, it should be below the one you just came 
back through, and then go though it to find a Save point. Use it then go back 
to the main room. Go through the blue door that is in the area with the two red
pillars of light. Step into the Hologram to open the doorway to the Temple. 
Use the Safe point down below to recharge your health, and then go through the 
door. 
Go down the lift and walk forward...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~Temple Guardian #3:~~~~
~~~~~~~~Quadraxis~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right first Scan it. 
First it's important to remember that there are no safe areas for this fight. 
The basic idea is to go into the Ball and either Bomb or Boost against the Red 
Sensors on its feet. While you are doing this it will try to hurt you by firing
shots at you and crating shockwaves. Avoid both of these and try to get the 
sensors destroyed. When you get one it will always drop a 100-point health 
pick-up. So make sure you grab it. Once this is done, focus on the knees. Fire 
whatever you've got at the ones that are flashing blue, as the other one won't 
get hurt. 
After the first time, it will start using a new attack that causes three lasers
to focus on you. Boost when all three lasers have joined into one to avoid the 
weapon. Also it may do the same spinning attack as its smaller sibling do. You 
can avoid this, but it's hard to do as the amount of time you have isn't much.
Repeat this until you see a cut-scene.

For this section, there two scan to get first. One is the main body, and the 
other is the flying head. Switch to the Echo visor and destroy the antenna on 
top of the body to stun the head. While doing this, the head will still be 
trying to attack you, but it has no new moves. When the antenna is gone, scan 
the head again. Then switch back the Echo Visor and fire at one of the three 
antennas on the head, when one has gone, repeat the whole section for two and 
three. But while this is going on, the tiny sentry drones will appear to cause 
you trouble, so kill then when the head antenna is down. 

Once all three head antenna area gone, the final part of this epic boss fight 
will start. Scan it yet again and then get on with the killing. Shoot the head 
to stun it, while avoiding its attacks that are similar to before, but it now 
can fire yellow ball that home in on you very quickly. Just keep shooting it 
till it becomes stunned. Then watch which way it's floating then go onto the 
Spider Track on the leg it's going to be near. Boost onto it head, then place of
Bomb in one of the holes. 
Repeat this again to claim final Victory.

You will also be able to pick up...

---------------------
---New Technology:---
---Annihilator Beam--
---------------------

Go up the Track on the new platform and then Screw Attack to the door. Use you 
new toy to open the door then go through in the usual manner. 
Drain the energy from the Temple.

Go back to the main room and then jump back to the large pillar. Go through the
door to you left and the quickly go through the corridor beyond, as the Ingstorm
will drain your health. In this room, kill or ignore the Commandoes then go 
through the Portal.


Sanctuary Fortress


Kill the two Aerotroopers and the go left. Use the Spider Track to get to the 
Blue door and go through. Follow the corridor and then go through the 
Annihilator door. Screw Attack across to the platform then use the Grapple Beam
to go to the Blue door. Go through here and put the Energy back. 

Go back to the main area and then Grapple across to the platform. Screw Attack 
forwards to the blue door and go through. Quickly go forward and turn around. 
Switch to the Dark Visor and use the Seeker Missile to activate the Cannon. Hop
in and go through the door. 

Go down the lift to your left and the go through the Dark door to your right. Go
forward through two rooms then go down the lift. Go through this area and go 
through the door. Go through the hole and then drop down in the next room. Go 
right to get to a save point if you want to use it. Go through the door in front
of you and then follow the corridor to the destroyed bridge. Use the Spider 
Track to get across and the go through the door, through the corridor, then up 
the lift.


Temple Grounds


Go forward, kill the guns, then through the blue door that is in front of you on
a higher ledge. Go through this corridor and the through the door in front of 
you in the next room. Go up the lift.

Go forward, using the save point if you want to use it then go forward and up 
the lift to talk to U-Mos.

Pick up the...

---------------------
---New Technology:---
------Light Suit-----
---------------------

All right!
Now, you see that light thing in the place where the controller was? That's a 
Teleportation Point. 
Step into this and you will be able to go to any of the other three temples in 
Aether. 
But for now ignore it and go back down the lift. Go left in the main room and go
down the Elevator. 

Go forwards and round to the door. Go through and then jump up and go through 
the portal.


Sky Temple Grounds


Jump down to the left and go through the door. 
Go round and when you've gone past the half-pipe go right and through the door.
Go through the hole and then through the door to your left. Follow the corridor
and then you'll reach a large room.

Walk into the middle of the room.
In here there are lots of things to scan. Scan the body on the floor and then 
scan the pillars for the clues that will lead you to the keys to the Sky Temple.
In this section, I'm not going to give you a detailed guide to all of the keys,
but I will tell you where they all are, and how to get them when you are in the
room. 

Also, please note that you will need the Dark Visor to see the creature they are
stored in. Shoot then once to make the visible, and then just kill it to release
the key. You'll then have to go and pick it up. Oh, and make sure to Scan the 
creature that the keys are stored in as this is the only time you can find them.


Dark Agon Wastes


B-Stl's Key: Sky Temple Key 1
Location: Battleground
How: Entering from the higher of the two doors. Switch to the Dark Visor and 
you'll see a load of platforms. Go left and jump to the first one then follow 
then to the Ledge where you can get the key.

J-Stl's Key: Sky Temple Key 2
Location: Dark Oasis
How: One of the walls can be destroyed with a Super Bomb. Do this and the Key is
in the Purple Water.


Dark Torvus Bog


G-Sch's Key: Sky Temple Key 4
Location: Poisoned Bog
How: In the Water in this room, you should see it down a corridor-like section.

S-Dly's Key: Sky temple Key 3
Location: Dungeon
How: Go into the Water and then, to get the creatures to move, activate the 
Beacon above them. Roll through the hole they were blocking and in the last 
section you will find it.


Ing Hive


S-Jrs's Key: Sky Temple Key 5
Location: Hive Entrance
How: Screw Attack across to the other side, this may take some practice, and 
then use the Beam of light to get to the higher platform. From here, Screw 
Attack across the gap to get to the new ledge and you will find it.

C-Rch's Key: Sky Temple Key 6
Location: Hive Dynamo Works
How: First you have to Enter this room from the Portal that you can get to by 
going through the Yellow door in the room where you fought the Spider Ball 
Guardian. Once in the room, use the Spider Track, and Boost jumping to get to 
the floating ball then jump from that to the next one, then to the Track on the
wall, to get to the Platform.


Sky Temple Grounds


D-Isl's Key: Sky Temple Key 7
Location: Ing Reliquary
How: This one is simple, just go into the room and then look for it.

M-Dhe's Key: Sky Temple Key 8
Location: Defiled Shrine
How: Again, another easy one, only this time you may have to kill some Ing to 
get to it safely.

J-Fme's Key: Sky Temple Key 9
Location: Accursed Lake
How: Another easy one, but this one is guarded by an Ing Hunter.


And there you have it, all nine keys. You're probably disappointed by the lack 
of detail about where all the keys are, but don't forget that part of the fun 
of this game is finding things out for yourself. Who knows, although you might 
not find what you're looking for, you might find something even better...

Anyway, before you go and fight the Leader of the Ing, you might like to take a
look at the back of this book a go about collecting some Upgrades. I recommend 
getting a many Missiles, Energy Tanks and Beam Ammo Expansions as you can. Power
Bombs, although useful are not vital for the coming fight. Also, if you want you
can get the Missile Combos, but, again, this isn't vital. It's mostly missiles,
health and beams that you need.

Got all that?
Good.
Go back to the 'Sky Temple Gateway' in the Sky Temple Grounds and step into the
Hologram.

Once the cut-scene is over, step into the Beam of Light to start the final step
of the journey.

| getting that energy back to where it belongs...                              |
|______________________________________________________________________________|

Go right and up the platform to get to a Save Point. Use it, then go round to 
the opposite side and use the door. Use the Screw Attack to go up and then 
through the door. Drop down and...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~Final Guardian:~~~~~~
~~~~~~~Ing Emperor~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is it, the final fight. The real reason you've been going around collecting
all those items...
First off, Scan the Round ball part and the Base as these are treated as 
different Scans.
This boss has three sections to it...
Ok then, here we go. First note that Phazon surrounds the entire area, so make 
sure to stay away from it. First it's attacks; it will use the vines for the 
most part. It will mostly bring them together and shoot a ball of energy at you.
It will also open up portals and send the tentacles through them to try and 
surprise you. It might swing the tentacles round to try to hit you, so just 
Double jump to avoid them. There is also another attack where the tentacles rear
up and then send a wave of energy from the base. Right, once you've got all 
that, it's time to start killing it. First you have to shoot the tentacles, you
can use the Power Beam with normal shots, but I prefer to use Seeker Missile. 
Either works. Once all the Tentacles are gone, the ball section will dissolve. 
Scan the Light ball. 
The ball has only one attack, but it's very annoying as it causes Samus to loose
her gun for a second or two. The Idea is to Side step around the ball of light 
until you are facing the gap in the shield. Fire either a Charge beam or, if you
can, a Super Missile at it. After awhile it will re-grow the Ball and you will 
have kill even more tentacles than before. 
Once you've killed it, it will grow a solid body and release poisonous gas into
the area. Quickly Scan it then roll into the Morph Ball and Use the Spider Ball
to stick to it and then go about killing it. What you have to do is stay on top
of the Yellow circles until purple stuff starts coming out, quickly place three
bombs and then move away. If you time it right the tentacle that comes out of 
the hole will get hurt or killed. You'll know if it's dead because smoke will be
rising from it. Do this for all of the holes and it will die, but you'll also 
have to be careful of the Inglets that appear. If you get swarmed, use a Power 
Bomb and don't forget that the Inglets drop pickups when killed.
When this form is gone, the Ing Emperor will become its final form.
This form is very annoying as its middle leg gets in the way of its vulnerable 
spot. Scan it. The idea is to shoot its face with whatever you've got, excluding
anything to do with the beams. As I said, this is made more difficult by the 
fact that its middle leg gets in the way. Keep shooting it, avoiding its 
attacks, such as where it fires multiple light beams at you, and its jump 
attack. Once you've damaged it enough, the Red light will turn either White or 
Black. If it goes Black use the Light Beam, and if it goes White use the Dark 
Beam. Don't use the Missile Combos, as they are too slow and don't work. Just 
use either charge beam or normal shots to damage it. Personally I found the 
Light Beam to be the best as the Charged shot locks on. Just keep trying and 
eventually you'll start getting its health down. When you get him down to about 
three-quarters it will change back to red, but it will do this after awhile 
anyway. 
Just keep pummelling it with everything you can and eventually it will fall.

When it dead, you will automatically pick up the Energy. This will cause Dark 
Aether to begin to collapses around you. Go up the new platform and then use the
Screw Attack to get to the door. Go through and drop down. Turn round and go 
through the door. 

Forget about going to the Save Point, as it is no longer active, so just go 
strait to the Teleport and go down...
When you get down, you will find your only means of escape has been blocked by a
wall a Phazon.

The wall of Phazon was created by...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~Final Fight:~~~~~~~
~Dark Samus - Final Form~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok then here we go. Because this fight is timed it's best you to read this 
section then try to kill her. 

Scan her.
The first section is very similar to the last time you fought her. Just fire 
Super Missiles at her when you can. If she disappears, switch to the Echo Visor
to see her.
When she is down to about three-quarters health, Scan her again, and you will 
see that she is now in her fourth form. 
Her tactics are quite different now.
She will go into the middle of the area and float in the air. She will then 
either fire a Missile at you, which you should avoid, or fire tiny balls of 
Phazon at you. 
Lock on to her and sidestep to avoid the missiles. Charge up a charge beam but 
don't fire it at her. Keep it fully charged and when she fires the small balls 
of Phazon at you, make them hit the end of the beam. When you've got enough your
aim will return to her. Fire the Phazon at her to hurt her. If you don't 
collect enough, just wait for the next lot. 
When you hit her, or after an amount of time, she will go back to normal. You 
can use a Super Missile on her now, but it won't hurt her much, what it will do
is make her go into the ball again, giving you a change to collect Phazon to 
hurt her. 
Repeat this until she falls...

And with that, it's over.
Dark Samus is dead.
All exits are blocked by Phazon.
And there's only a couple of second left before the world collapses...

| Samus Aran, Final Aether Log Entry:                                          |
| I have finally put all the energy back. Dark Aether is gone and Light        |
| Aether, under the guide of the Luminoth, will slowly be returned to its      |
| former glory. There's still one thing that bothers me though...just as I     |
| thought it was over, the Phazon blocking the Portal exploded. I know Phazon  |
| is volatile, but the manner in which it exploded makes me wonder. Dark Samus |
| created the Phazon Wall so she could fight me again. What if she was the one |
| who destroyed the Phazon blocking the Portal? What if with her last ounce of |
| strength, she decided to let me live? It sounds crazy. She did, after all,   |
| try to kill me on the several occasions when I met her, so why did she save  |
| my life? I don't know, and now she's gone I'll never know. Hey, I could be   |
| wrong, the Phazon could have exploded by its self, but then again, maybe     |
| not...                                                                       |

--Easy Kill - Jump Guardian--

Here's an easy way to kill the Jump Guardian Boss. This is quite useful for Hard
Mode.
When you get to the room where you fight the Boss, stand at the edge of the 
first Light Bubble as you walk into the room, the one you have to shoot to 
activate, if you jump you will be able to see a Green Door and the top of the 
statue on the other side of the room. Using the ledge in front of this as a 
guide you will see a flat, vertical, line just to the right of the statue. It 
might be hard to see, as the edge of the Light Bubble in the middle of the area
is right in front of it. Try jumping to see it. Anyway, if you fire here, and 
get the aim right, you should see the Beam hit something.
It's too close to be the Wall and seem to hang in midair.
IT'S THE BOSS!
Just keep firing Charged Shots at this spot and you will drain the Bosses 
health. Also, don't forget to keep the Light Bubble Active.
If you can't get the right aim, try jumping then firing. Once you've got it 
once, it fairly easy to keep hitting it as you'll know where it is.
It will need a lot of hits, but if you hit it enough, then you can kill the boss
with only one shot...just don't forget to scan it first.

--Copyright--

This Guide and all it's content are copyrighted by me. Except for Metroid, Samus
etc...these are copyrighted by Nintendo. 

If you want to use it on your site somewhere ask me first.
If I find it on your site and I didn't give you permission, I'll be very annoyed
and will most likely pursue legal action.


--Reasons for Contacting Me--

-The Guide-

If you want to use my guide on your site, just E-mail me and ask for my 
permission. It shouldn't be a problem as long as I know about it.

-You need more information-

If you're stuck on a major part, E-mail me and ask for help. Just make sure that
the information you need isn't already in the guide...if you do that I'll
probably ignore you. 

-You want to add something-

If you have some information, say a speed tip or an easier way to defeat a boss,
and you feel it should be in my guide, just E-mail me and I'll put it in. You 
will get the credit for it. It�ll be above us, in the 'Thank you to...' section.

-You want to comment on my guide-

This is the first guide I've written so I'd like to know what you think of it.
Is it's style ok? what about the information? Stuff like that.
Don't send anything rude, but some general information, good or bad, would be
appreciated. 


--E-mail--

If you want to get in contact with me, just E-mail me at:

oy1919 (AT) googlemail (DOT) com

NOTE: Remember: (AT) = @ and (DOT) = .

I'll try to answer any questions/comments you have.


Also, so I can filter out your E-mails from the SPAM I'm likely to receive, it 
would help me a great deal if you could put 'Metroid Prime 2' or something 
similar as the title for your E-mail.
Although I will try and answer your E-mail regardless of whether you do or not,
it is FAR more likely that I will answer you if you use the recommended title.

Thanks.
