Hints and Tips for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
(GameCube)

x1) You start with this.

x2) Temple Grounds - Storage Cavern B: After visiting the Great Temple and heading to Agon Wastes, use a Missile to go through the Red Door in the Temple Assembly Site.

x3) Temple Grounds - Windchamber Gateway: Enter the Windchamber Gateway from the Path of Eyes, use the Kinetic Orb Cannon to cross the gap and Grapple to the platform with the Energy Tank.

x4) Temple Grounds - Fortress Transport Access: Once you get the Light Suit, stand in the beam of light in this room to be transported up to a secret room with an Energy Tank in it.

x5) Agon Wastes - Mining Station Access: Use a Bomb on the block in the middle of the tunnel to fall to a Kinetic Orb Cannon, which will launch you to a tunnel leading to the Energy Tank. x6) Agon Wastes - Bioenergy Production: After turning on the moving level platforms with the console, go to the other side of the room and move them so that they go up to the right.

x7) Agon Wastes - Mine Shaft: After clearing the shaft of Pillbugs, double Bomb Jump onto the rightmost rectangle of stone; from on top of it, keep Bomb Jumping and rolling to the left; once you get to the stack of 4 blocks, hold left to get off the blocks, but don't go too far; Bomb Jump to the left from here and keep going.

x8) Agon Wastes - Mining Plaza: Use the Echo Visor to locate 3 Sonic Emitters and shoot them to line up the locks and focus a beam on some rock covering an Energy Tank - use the Screw Attack to reach it.

x9) Torvus Bog - Temple Access: On the higher part of the room, use a Bomb on the first circle you reach to drop down to the Tank.

x10) Torvus Bog - Transit Tunnel East: First, do a double Bomb Jump up to the Bomb Slot in the leftmost vertical shaft of the tunnel; after activating it, a timer will start - roll 3 tubes to the right and go to the second Slot; once you activate it, roll 2 tubes to the left and do a double Bomb Jump to reach the Energy Tank.

x11) Torvus Bog - Torvus Plaza: Use the half pipe in the room to reach a Spider Ball track high on the walls, follow it to a log you should roll across and use the Morph Ball Bomb to get onto another track; continue on to reach this well-earned Tank.

x12) Torvus Bog - Meditation Vista: Time the Screw Attack right to reach the moving platform in the distance behind the Portal - once you're on, ride it to this Energy Tank.

x13) Dark Torvus Bog - Cache B: When you reach the lower part of Dark Torvus Temple, roll down the tunnel in the right-hand opening past the light and go through the Green Door to find an Energy Tank inside.

x14) Sanctuary Fortress - Reactor Core: Use the Kinetic Orb Cannon on the ground floor of the room while holding R to Spider Ball, Boost off the red dots and keep going to get to the Tank.

x15) Sanctuary Fortress - Watch Station Access: This Tank is in plain sight on a ledge when you enter here from the Watch Station.

All you metroid fans. Guess what?

You know at the ditch where you get the boost ball?To get out with the key, you need the boost ball or ya can't get out of the section.

You get the key you can drop down from where you are and once ya land you basically get the key, but with the other side.

And there you have it!

Okay, this is weird. A glitch, probably. If you go through some portals to either the light or dark worlds, sometimes, the light reflected off of Samus's suit during the transition will be misplaced.

Like, white light will be reflected off of some side of her suit, yet that side of the suit may be facing the dark end of the portal transition. This does not apply for all portals.

The first two portals in the game properly place the light reflections.

If you have ever beaten this game on 100%, you will note at the very end it shows Dark Samus forming outside of Aether's atmosphere, right? Well, I figured it out... Remember how after Samus defeated Dark Samus the wall of Phazon released entry into the portal to head back to the Light World? Well, I have figured out that a likely explanation for all this is that Dark Samus, after diappearing inches in front of Samus, controlled the Phazon wall to explode to release the portal. Samus went through the portal as expected, but then Dark Samus gave chase, heading through the portal as well, invisible with her ability to sheath herself in alter-photonic Phazon. This was Dark Samus's plan to escape the Dark World before her own destruction.

That is how I predict that the Phazon wall exploded in the end, and how Dark Samus reforms outside of Aether's atmosphere at the end.

X50) When you get the Dark/Light Beam.

X100) Agon Wastes - Central Mining Station: Use the Light Door on the second floor of the Command Center to reach the ledge with the Vigilance Turrets in the Central Mining Station. Get into a Turret and blast the 3 Generators, get out of the Turret and jump onto the Pirate Skiff to the left and across the platforms to get to the back of the room.

X150) Dark Torvus Bog - Cache A: Go to the Poisoned Bog, blast open the Purple Door with Seeker Missiles and enter this room with the Expansion.

X200) Sanctuary Fortress - Watch Station: Use the Spider Ball Track near the Light Door to the Watch Station Access and Bomb Jump from it to another Track. Roll over to the end and drop onto the Kinetic Orb Cannon holding R. Once you drop onto another Track, roll right and Bomb Jump onto the wheel. Get to the end of the track and repeat the wheel process two more times; roll up into the pipe and follow it to the Expansion.

X250) Sky Temple Grounds - Profane Path: Use the Echo Visor and the Annihilator Beam to open the Echo Door and get this Expansion.

Alright, this is a long battle, but not too difficult!

Chykka-Larva
All this whale does is swim around in a circle while sending some flying plants at you for the first bit, then it'll jump and try and splash you with the poisonous water - make sure to follow your radar here. Finally, it'll attack you face to face. Its weak points are the belly and the top/front of the head. When it jumps up, you can hit it with a Super Missile if you're ready and quick enough, so charge up your Power Beam and use the radar! When Larva comes onto the island you're on, use the Light Beam here to do some damage.

Chykka-Adult
Once you take the whale out, get ready for round two. Keep shooting, the more hits the better - if you're good enough, you can anticipate where it's going to be (all it does is bob and weave left to right) and hit it with charged up shots. Once you've hit it enough, it will be stunned - grapple around to it's backside and use the Seeker Missile Launcher to get all 4 wings! Sometimes it'll send out some little bugs that'll give you some health and ammo while you're trying to stun it. Now, it'll get possessed by the Ing - just target it's stinger and use the Light Beam on it. Repeat this process until it's history.

Good luck - you can do it =)

I know that some of you are annoyed by the fact that it is really hard to find ammo and health when you need it. I know a couple spots where you can find alot of ammo and health. 1. Torvus Bog-In the hallway to where you fight the Alpha Blogg. 2. Sanctuary fortress- the place where there are all the little robots. 3.(this is hard to do)Ing Hive-Where you find the Ing Infant. Well hope that helps you.

I found the the 3 beam ammo's but the 4th won't open work sheiny said

4 - Sky Temple Grounds - Profane Path - Use the portal in the Sacred Path to get to this room, then use the Annihilator Beam and Echo Visor on the Echo Keys.

The order of the keys is: far right, near right, left and far right.

That wasn't too hard, Except I couln't find the 4 key lock.

The first three are there but the fourth is hidden somewhere and I can't find it.

Not with any visor.

Tnx

This is more of a puzzle boss than a flat out fight boss and it's fought entirely in Morph Ball form. So - this Pillbug has your Spider Ball - and it will use it to roll around on the Spider Tracks. It can only harm you by making contact with you - but it's entire coloured halo is considered contact - and it can hit you through walls if you're close enough. What you have to do is bomb him so that it turns from blue to red to green. Once it turns green - a Bomb Slot will open - activate it to open a path to an energy device that will damage the Spider Guardian.

That's it - really - but it does get pretty complicated later on. The first area is a simple rectangle with branching passages. Try to stay near the Bomb Slot when Bombing the Guardian so that you're close enough to it to get there in enough time. Once that's done - you'll move on to a Boost half pipe. I suggest getting on top by going up the left side and falling down the middle hole dropping Bombs in it's path. Once it turns green - a small platform will extend below the Bomb Slot so that you can get to it.

The third area is slightly more complicated. You can still Boost to the top and drop Bombs in his path - then - once again - turning him green creates paths for you to travel on to get to the Bomb Slot. Nail him here and you'll move on to get some health and then on to the final area. This area has 3 energy devices for the ass to hit - and he'll have to hit all three! This area's tough because there are very few places to hide - so you're going to have to endure lots of damage here.

I suggest sitting near the opening in the middle of his path - then laying some Bombs as he draws close - with enough time for you to get away. When you get him green - use the Bomb Slot on your left on the second level - but only when he's to the right of the moving panel so that he rolls up instead of into the panel! Once he hits the first one - you'll need to get him green again - then Bomb 2 Bomb Slots - one in the upper right corner of the area and then the one in the lower left. Use the Boost to carry yourself across small gaps to save time. Once he hits the second device - you need to get him to the third and most difficult device.

You must turn him green as he's traveling to the right about midway through the tunnel or this won't work. You need to move fast and energize all 3 Bomb Slots - one new one in the upper left corner of the room - then the other two in order down. If you pull it off - the Guardian should just be in position to roll right to it's doom. The destruction of this jackass earns you the Spider Ball.

Use it to climb to the top of this part - but don't retrace your steps completely. After passing the area where the crates were - Bomb yourself to a path above to roll over to a Missile Expansion and a quick exit from this place - which drops you on the other side of the Dynamo Works. From here - Spider Ball up the wall and go through the door...

A lot of people say Boost gardien is easy, I have no clue why.

He is tougher then Imperor Ing! It takes severel tries to beat Mr.Speadey and he's no pushover (Not a pun)!

I know a strategy that can help though. First scan him, then when he comes up from his ingooze (ing ooze) hit him with a super man! er missle.

Do ths twice and then he will turn into morph ball.

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PART! (I meant to put it on caps lock) most people mess up here.

He will rocket around the room double jump to avoid him, he does this 4 times then turns into ingooze.

Then turn into morph ball and drop bombs on him to make him turn into his normal form.

Use super missles to hurt him most.

Notes: if he runs into a piller in morph ball form an ultra energy unit will spill out but he will turn into ingooze early.

He can only be hurt in his normal form.

After you beat him go out of the arena and use boost ball to SK8 on the half pipe and nab the dark temple key.

Hope you can beat him easier than me,

Good luck!

Gotta boost, see'ya later cheaters.

You have to use the Anniahlator Beam to solve the sonic locks, listen to the sounds when you shoot the door and it'll give you the combo.

I don't know if any of the walkthroughs mention that You need the Anniahlator Beam for the sonic locks, so I had to figure it out the hard way.

When fighting the grapple guy just hide behind the two pillars and when it is safe shoot it with a couple times with a charged light beam shot or shoot missiles, then shoot it from behind.

Okay, here's what I have discovered:

After talking to U-Mos for the first time, if you have the Phazon Beam ready (you need an Action Replay to use the Phazon Beam andywhere, refer to the AR Codes section of this game) then you should be able to destroy red hatches, green hatches, and yellow hatches, and you may be able to open light and dark doors, though I don't know yet. I am basing this possibility off of the fact that Phazon Beam can damage the Emperor Ing no matter what color it bears, and in the fact that it can activate light and dark portals.

Anyway, I have found that after talking to U-Mos for the first time, you should be able to destroy anything that requires Bombs, Missles, Charge Beam, Light Beam, Dark Beam, Power Bomb, or Annihilator Beam... I can't promise anything, though. Remember, we're fooling around with a game hack by using the Action Replay.

Here are the locations for all 9 Sky Temple Keys:

1) Dark/Sky Temple Grounds: Defiled Shrine
2) Dark/Sky Temple Grounds: Accursed Lake
3) Dark/Sky Temple Grounds: Ing Reliquary
4) Dark Agon Wastes: Dark Oasis
5) Dark Agon Wastes: Battleground
6) Dark Torvus Bog: Dungeon
7) Dark Torvus Bog: Poisoned Bog
8) Dark Sanctuary Fortress: Hive Entrance
9) Dark Sanctuary Fortress: Hive Dynamo Works

Then go to Dark/Sky Temple Grounds: Sky Temple Gateway...

The Dark Burst (Dark Beam Combo) is in Mining Station B of Agon Wastes. You need the Seeker Launcher to get in the room. First - use the Bomb Slots in the area to set the drill near the Portal - then use the Boost Ball in the half pipe to reach the top of the drill. Travel through Dark Aether - to Dueling Range - to the Portal there - which will allow you to back track to reach it.

The Sun Burst (Light Beam Combo) is found in the Wind Chamber of the Temple Grounds - enter the Wind Chamber from the Hall of Eyes. Once there - take the Portal to Dark Aether and use the Spinners and Orb Cannons to align the rings - they should be lit up and it doesn't matter which way they face - away from or toward the Portal. At that point - fire a Seeker Missile at the 4 points. You must do this from both sides. After that - return to Aether and use the Grapple Points to reach the Orb Cannon that will fire you to the item upgrade.

The Sonic Boom (Annihilator Beam Combo) is found in Ing Cache 2 of Dark Agon Wastes. You need to use the Screw Attack to reach this room from the Phazon Site and you obviously need the Annihilator Beam (to open the door).

If you need the Seeker Launcher - then you must have the Super Missile and if that's the case - then you must be in the Torvus Bog right now...
So make your way back to the Transport to Torvus Bog in the Temple Grounds and go through the Green Door to the Meeting Grounds...
Here - Boost Ball up the Half Pipe and roll through the lengthy tunnel...
In the Service Access portion of the path - after the second rocky portion - you're going to need to Boost over some blocks...
Next - you'll enter the Path of Honour room - just keep going...
Now - you're in the Hall of Honoured Dead - get out of Morph Ball and you'll find yourself in a large room...
Scan the Spinner and then you're going to need to Boost in each Spinner to make the floor line up (this may take some time)...
This will remove the energy field surrounding the Seeker Launcher - now go get it...
You'll need to use it to get out of this room - it works by holding the Y-Button and using the R-Button to lock on to the 5 targets...

- Dark Burst -

This Dark Beam Upgrade is found in Mining Station B of Agon Wastes. You need the Seeker Launcher to get in the room. First - use the Bomb Slots in the area to set the drill near the Portal - then use the Boost Ball in the half pipe to reach the top of the drill. Travel through Dark Aether - to Dueling Range - to the Portal there - which will allow you to back track to reach it. Hope that makes sense!

- Sun Burst -

This Light Beam Upgrade is found in the Wind Chamber of the Temple Grounds - enter the Wind Chamber from the Hall of Eyes. Once there - take the Portal to Dark Aether and use the Spinners and Orb Cannons to align the rings - they should be lit up and it doesn't matter which way they face - away from or toward the Portal. At that point - fire a Seeker Missile at the 4 points. You must do this from both sides. After that - return to Aether and use the Grapple Points to reach the Orb Cannon that will fire you to the Item Upgrade!

- Sonic Boom -

This Annhialator Beam Upgrade is found in Ing Cache 2 of Dark Agon Wastes. You need to use the Screw Attack to reach this room from the Phazon Site and you obviously need the Annihilator Beam (to open the door)!

I hate this boss and everybody elses method of hitting it and then hide behind the wall and it grapples the wall DOESNT WORK. For me, at least. So here is how I do it, and it is easy. Hit it in the eye with four missiles, then immediatly charge up the light beam while dashing behind it, and as soon as it fully charges, fire at it's butt. NOTE: you will hit it with the light beam before it tries to grapple, because it shakes itself for a second after you hit it's eye.
Peace.

This is how you deafeat Alpha Blogg: you make Alpha Blogg charge at you.Then you shoot a super missle at the mouth.

First you need the Boost Ball and the Spider Ball(Which you probably already have). Well the Spider Ball track that is touching the bottom, hold your R button and boost towards the track, if you get on to it you should get an outside view of the temple (you wouldnt see this view otherwise) for a few seconds.

Note: If you miss just try again it's not all that hard.

Okay, here't the deal. You've got Dark Samus, in a room with Phazon round the walls. She's immune to rockets, invisible to the Dark Visor, and you have just under 8 minutes to beat her.

Oh, and you'll probably be low on health and ammo. Anyway, just keep shooting with the Power Beam, using Charge shots whenever you feel like it. When she goes to the middle and floats up, stop shooting. Dodge the big laser and continue when she comes down.

Eventually she'll float up and surround herself by an inpenetrable shield. She'll shoot out missiles which home in on you if you dash-jump. However, simply side-stepping seems to work better.

When the draws the shield inwards and shoots out blobs of Phazon, absorb them with the Charge Beam until it turns blue.

Shoot her with it, and she'll fall down. Keep shooting and continue until the end. There are two main things to worry about here; the timer and the Phazon.

If you die, you continue from the end of the Emperor Ing fight, so don't worry.

x2) When you get the Power Bombs.

x3) Temple Grounds - Dynamo Chamber: Blow up the security gates with Power Bombs and use another one on the cracked wall in the middle of the tunnel to reveal this Expansion.

x4) Agon Wastes - Sandcanyon: Use the Screw Attack to reach the center platform and blow up the sculpture with a Power Bomb to reveal an Expansion at it's base.

x5) Dark Agon Wastes - Feeding Pit: Drop into the poison water in this room and look for the Expansion in an underwater nook.

x6) Torvus Bog - Great Bridge: When entering the room from the Abandoned Worksite or the upper part of Temple Access, use a Power Bomb to blow up the Benzium and roll into the tunnel behind it to run right into the Expansion.

x7) Dark Torvus Bog - Putrid Alcove: Stun the Dark Phlogus and shatter the cracked wall using a Power Bomb.

x8) Sanctuary Fortress - Sanctuary Entrance: From the entrance opposite the Transport to the Temple Grounds, go to the Benzium panel in front of the Elevator to the left of the door and blow it up with a Power Bomb. Take the Elevator up and scan the panel to activate a Kinetic Orb Cannon; use the Cannon to reach a Spider Ball track and take it to a Vigilance Turret. Blast the top parts of both sides of the Bridge and the lower right-hand wall of the Fortress-side wall; after that, get out of the Turret and take the Spider Ball Track to another Cannon to return to the top of the Elevator. Jump up the right-hand side of the Fortress exterior to reach a Spider Ball Track; scan the Luminoth Lore, then use the Spider and Boost Balls to ascend to a ledge. Scan the Keybearer and use the Kinetic Orb Cannon to launch yourself to the Expansion.

x9) Sanctuary Fortress - Transit Station: Use a Power Bomb to shatter the Benzium panel in front of the Portal and enter it; in the Dark World, scan and defeat the Dark Ingsmasher and enter the Portal behind it. In the Light World, roll through the tunnel and go through yet another Portal; climb the Spider Ball Tracks in the Dark World, go through one last Portal and follow more Tracks to the Expansion.

x10) Sanctuary Fortress - Main Gyro Chamber: Drop to the bottom part of the Chamber and open the Echo Door; enter the Kinetic Orb Cannon to get blasted into the power core, shattering it and revealing the Expansion.

If your worried that your going to waste your Light Beam or Dark Beam ammo, well all you have to do is kill those creatures with a Dark Beam and you get Light Beam ammo, and kill creatures with the Light Beam and get Dark Beam ammo.
Hope this helps.

She's actually easy to defeat.try to enter the battle with as much energy as possible with plenty of missles(you will see y in a bit).scan her b4 she attacks then after she lands on the ground lock on and fire super missles.hint:nothin works when she is a ball or in air.after a couple hits she will turn invisible.switch to dark visor.you wont be able to use missles because they will not follow and hit.shoot rapidly until she turns back visible.you're dark visor will overload which will cause you to switch back to combat visor.repeat until death.
DEATH TO THE DARK HUNTER!!!
OUT.

Most of you Metroid Players are probably frusterated by how long it takes to kill a Pirate Commando. Right? Well If you are, I have an answer for you. Simply activate all the light beacons(use the light or annihilator beam) in the room, and hit them with super missles(it you have them). They will fly somewhere in the room and if they hit a light activated light beacon they will die. It doesn't work all the time but it's conveniant when it does. Well I have to be goin. Try it out.

Using a move called getto jump, you can get the missle lancher twice, When you first enter GFMC Compound, make your way to the boot-shaped rock found just before the cutscene. Place yourself between it and the dark part of the wall. With the very bottom of the boot in the center of your view, get a running start and jump just as you touch it (while holding up on the stick).

Immediately after pressing B, hold left on the stick briefly, then hold up again as the jump is about to peak. The idea is to ghetto jump off the bottom for an initial height boost, slide left up the boot for more height, and finally push yourself up to the ledge.

Once you're up, drop down next to the missile launcher and take it. Now head back to the entrance to trigger the cutscene you previously avoided. The missile launcher will reappear and you can collect it a second time, letting you finish with 101% if you get everything else (or 100% leaving out an item of your choice).

So you've beaten Emperor Ing - congrats, but wait - what happened - is that...Dark Samus?!?

First thing's first - scan Dark Samus #3, now, keep moving and continue shooting her with the Power Beam - charged up shots and Super Missiles whenever you want. You may need to switch to the Echo Visor and back, either way, when Dark Samus' health is low enough, she'll hover at the center of the room in an inpenetrable shield. Scan her again here - this is Dark Samus #4 and hopefully your 100% Scan, anyway, she'll unleash some Missile shots at you - dodge these; when she draws in Phazon and shoots them out at you in blue, stay where you are and absorb them with your charged up Power Beam - when your shot goes Blue, release it at her. She'll then fall down and come at you - just hit her with a Super Missile and repeat, go for it man - it's a piece of cake!

She's actually easy to defeat.try to enter the battle with as much energy as possible with plenty of missles(you will see y in a bit).scan her b4 she attacks then after she lands on the ground lock on and fire super missles.hint:nothin works when she is a ball or in air.after a couple hits she will turn invisible.switch to dark visor.you wont be able to use missles because they will not follow and hit.shoot rapidly until she turns back visible.you're dark visor will overload which will cause you to switch back to combat visor.repeat until death.

On the spires level the big part face the box go right you will see a small decrese in the wall jump on it jump to the next part and keep going til you see the thing to go to the roof note: you can't go to the roof well just wait for your enemy and blast him hope it helped

All you metroid fans. Guess what?

You know at the ditch where you get the boost ball?To get out with the key, you need the boost ball or ya can't get out of the section.

You get the key you can drop down from where you are and once ya land you basically get the key, but with the other side.

And there you have it!

Alright, this is a long battle, but not too difficult!

Chykka-Larva
All this whale does is swim around in a circle while sending some flying plants at you for the first bit, then it'll jump and try and splash you with the poisonous water - make sure to follow your radar here. Finally, it'll attack you face to face. Its weak points are the belly and the top/front of the head. When it jumps up, you can hit it with a Super Missile if you're ready and quick enough, so charge up your Power Beam and use the radar! When Larva comes onto the island you're on, use the Light Beam here to do some damage.

Chykka-Adult
Once you take the whale out, get ready for round two. Keep shooting, the more hits the better - if you're good enough, you can anticipate where it's going to be (all it does is bob and weave left to right) and hit it with charged up shots. Once you've hit it enough, it will be stunned - grapple around to it's backside and use the Seeker Missile Launcher to get all 4 wings! Sometimes it'll send out some little bugs that'll give you some health and ammo while you're trying to stun it. Now, it'll get possessed by the Ing - just target it's stinger and use the Light Beam on it. Repeat this process until it's history.

Good luck - you can do it =)

First you need the Boost Ball and the Spider Ball(Which you probably already have). Well the Spider Ball track that is touching the bottom, hold your R button and boost towards the track, if you get on to it you should get an outside view of the temple (you wouldnt see this view otherwise) for a few seconds.

Note: If you miss just try again it's not all that hard.

So you've beaten Emperor Ing - congrats, but wait - what happened - is that...Dark Samus?!?

First thing's first - scan Dark Samus #3, now, keep moving and continue shooting her with the Power Beam - charged up shots and Super Missiles whenever you want. You may need to switch to the Echo Visor and back, either way, when Dark Samus' health is low enough, she'll hover at the center of the room in an inpenetrable shield. Scan her again here - this is Dark Samus #4 and hopefully your 100% Scan, anyway, she'll unleash some Missile shots at you - dodge these; when she draws in Phazon and shoots them out at you in blue, stay where you are and absorb them with your charged up Power Beam - when your shot goes Blue, release it at her. She'll then fall down and come at you - just hit her with a Super Missile and repeat, go for it man - it's a piece of cake!

If your worried that your going to waste your Light Beam or Dark Beam ammo, well all you have to do is kill those creatures with a Dark Beam and you get Light Beam ammo, and kill creatures with the Light Beam and get Dark Beam ammo.
Hope this helps.

I hate this boss and everybody elses method of hitting it and then hide behind the wall and it grapples the wall DOESNT WORK. For me, at least. So here is how I do it, and it is easy. Hit it in the eye with four missiles, then immediatly charge up the light beam while dashing behind it, and as soon as it fully charges, fire at it's butt. NOTE: you will hit it with the light beam before it tries to grapple, because it shakes itself for a second after you hit it's eye.
Peace.

- Dark Burst -

This Dark Beam Upgrade is found in Mining Station B of Agon Wastes. You need the Seeker Launcher to get in the room. First - use the Bomb Slots in the area to set the drill near the Portal - then use the Boost Ball in the half pipe to reach the top of the drill. Travel through Dark Aether - to Dueling Range - to the Portal there - which will allow you to back track to reach it. Hope that makes sense!

- Sun Burst -

This Light Beam Upgrade is found in the Wind Chamber of the Temple Grounds - enter the Wind Chamber from the Hall of Eyes. Once there - take the Portal to Dark Aether and use the Spinners and Orb Cannons to align the rings - they should be lit up and it doesn't matter which way they face - away from or toward the Portal. At that point - fire a Seeker Missile at the 4 points. You must do this from both sides. After that - return to Aether and use the Grapple Points to reach the Orb Cannon that will fire you to the Item Upgrade!

- Sonic Boom -

This Annhialator Beam Upgrade is found in Ing Cache 2 of Dark Agon Wastes. You need to use the Screw Attack to reach this room from the Phazon Site and you obviously need the Annihilator Beam (to open the door)!

If you need the Seeker Launcher - then you must have the Super Missile and if that's the case - then you must be in the Torvus Bog right now...
So make your way back to the Transport to Torvus Bog in the Temple Grounds and go through the Green Door to the Meeting Grounds...
Here - Boost Ball up the Half Pipe and roll through the lengthy tunnel...
In the Service Access portion of the path - after the second rocky portion - you're going to need to Boost over some blocks...
Next - you'll enter the Path of Honour room - just keep going...
Now - you're in the Hall of Honoured Dead - get out of Morph Ball and you'll find yourself in a large room...
Scan the Spinner and then you're going to need to Boost in each Spinner to make the floor line up (this may take some time)...
This will remove the energy field surrounding the Seeker Launcher - now go get it...
You'll need to use it to get out of this room - it works by holding the Y-Button and using the R-Button to lock on to the 5 targets...

The Dark Burst (Dark Beam Combo) is in Mining Station B of Agon Wastes. You need the Seeker Launcher to get in the room. First - use the Bomb Slots in the area to set the drill near the Portal - then use the Boost Ball in the half pipe to reach the top of the drill. Travel through Dark Aether - to Dueling Range - to the Portal there - which will allow you to back track to reach it.

The Sun Burst (Light Beam Combo) is found in the Wind Chamber of the Temple Grounds - enter the Wind Chamber from the Hall of Eyes. Once there - take the Portal to Dark Aether and use the Spinners and Orb Cannons to align the rings - they should be lit up and it doesn't matter which way they face - away from or toward the Portal. At that point - fire a Seeker Missile at the 4 points. You must do this from both sides. After that - return to Aether and use the Grapple Points to reach the Orb Cannon that will fire you to the item upgrade.

The Sonic Boom (Annihilator Beam Combo) is found in Ing Cache 2 of Dark Agon Wastes. You need to use the Screw Attack to reach this room from the Phazon Site and you obviously need the Annihilator Beam (to open the door).

This is more of a puzzle boss than a flat out fight boss and it's fought entirely in Morph Ball form. So - this Pillbug has your Spider Ball - and it will use it to roll around on the Spider Tracks. It can only harm you by making contact with you - but it's entire coloured halo is considered contact - and it can hit you through walls if you're close enough. What you have to do is bomb him so that it turns from blue to red to green. Once it turns green - a Bomb Slot will open - activate it to open a path to an energy device that will damage the Spider Guardian.

That's it - really - but it does get pretty complicated later on. The first area is a simple rectangle with branching passages. Try to stay near the Bomb Slot when Bombing the Guardian so that you're close enough to it to get there in enough time. Once that's done - you'll move on to a Boost half pipe. I suggest getting on top by going up the left side and falling down the middle hole dropping Bombs in it's path. Once it turns green - a small platform will extend below the Bomb Slot so that you can get to it.

The third area is slightly more complicated. You can still Boost to the top and drop Bombs in his path - then - once again - turning him green creates paths for you to travel on to get to the Bomb Slot. Nail him here and you'll move on to get some health and then on to the final area. This area has 3 energy devices for the ass to hit - and he'll have to hit all three! This area's tough because there are very few places to hide - so you're going to have to endure lots of damage here.

I suggest sitting near the opening in the middle of his path - then laying some Bombs as he draws close - with enough time for you to get away. When you get him green - use the Bomb Slot on your left on the second level - but only when he's to the right of the moving panel so that he rolls up instead of into the panel! Once he hits the first one - you'll need to get him green again - then Bomb 2 Bomb Slots - one in the upper right corner of the area and then the one in the lower left. Use the Boost to carry yourself across small gaps to save time. Once he hits the second device - you need to get him to the third and most difficult device.

You must turn him green as he's traveling to the right about midway through the tunnel or this won't work. You need to move fast and energize all 3 Bomb Slots - one new one in the upper left corner of the room - then the other two in order down. If you pull it off - the Guardian should just be in position to roll right to it's doom. The destruction of this jackass earns you the Spider Ball.

Use it to climb to the top of this part - but don't retrace your steps completely. After passing the area where the crates were - Bomb yourself to a path above to roll over to a Missile Expansion and a quick exit from this place - which drops you on the other side of the Dynamo Works. From here - Spider Ball up the wall and go through the door...

If you have ever beaten this game on 100%, you will note at the very end it shows Dark Samus forming outside of Aether's atmosphere, right? Well, I figured it out... Remember how after Samus defeated Dark Samus the wall of Phazon released entry into the portal to head back to the Light World? Well, I have figured out that a likely explanation for all this is that Dark Samus, after diappearing inches in front of Samus, controlled the Phazon wall to explode to release the portal. Samus went through the portal as expected, but then Dark Samus gave chase, heading through the portal as well, invisible with her ability to sheath herself in alter-photonic Phazon. This was Dark Samus's plan to escape the Dark World before her own destruction.

That is how I predict that the Phazon wall exploded in the end, and how Dark Samus reforms outside of Aether's atmosphere at the end.

Okay, here's what I have discovered:

After talking to U-Mos for the first time, if you have the Phazon Beam ready (you need an Action Replay to use the Phazon Beam andywhere, refer to the AR Codes section of this game) then you should be able to destroy red hatches, green hatches, and yellow hatches, and you may be able to open light and dark doors, though I don't know yet. I am basing this possibility off of the fact that Phazon Beam can damage the Emperor Ing no matter what color it bears, and in the fact that it can activate light and dark portals.

Anyway, I have found that after talking to U-Mos for the first time, you should be able to destroy anything that requires Bombs, Missles, Charge Beam, Light Beam, Dark Beam, Power Bomb, or Annihilator Beam... I can't promise anything, though. Remember, we're fooling around with a game hack by using the Action Replay.

When fighting the grapple guy just hide behind the two pillars and when it is safe shoot it with a couple times with a charged light beam shot or shoot missiles, then shoot it from behind.

Okay, this is weird. A glitch, probably. If you go through some portals to either the light or dark worlds, sometimes, the light reflected off of Samus's suit during the transition will be misplaced.

Like, white light will be reflected off of some side of her suit, yet that side of the suit may be facing the dark end of the portal transition. This does not apply for all portals.

The first two portals in the game properly place the light reflections.

A lot of people say Boost gardien is easy, I have no clue why.

He is tougher then Imperor Ing! It takes severel tries to beat Mr.Speadey and he's no pushover (Not a pun)!

I know a strategy that can help though. First scan him, then when he comes up from his ingooze (ing ooze) hit him with a super man! er missle.

Do ths twice and then he will turn into morph ball.

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PART! (I meant to put it on caps lock) most people mess up here.

He will rocket around the room double jump to avoid him, he does this 4 times then turns into ingooze.

Then turn into morph ball and drop bombs on him to make him turn into his normal form.

Use super missles to hurt him most.

Notes: if he runs into a piller in morph ball form an ultra energy unit will spill out but he will turn into ingooze early.

He can only be hurt in his normal form.

After you beat him go out of the arena and use boost ball to SK8 on the half pipe and nab the dark temple key.

Hope you can beat him easier than me,

Good luck!

Gotta boost, see'ya later cheaters.

Okay, here't the deal. You've got Dark Samus, in a room with Phazon round the walls. She's immune to rockets, invisible to the Dark Visor, and you have just under 8 minutes to beat her.

Oh, and you'll probably be low on health and ammo. Anyway, just keep shooting with the Power Beam, using Charge shots whenever you feel like it. When she goes to the middle and floats up, stop shooting. Dodge the big laser and continue when she comes down.

Eventually she'll float up and surround herself by an inpenetrable shield. She'll shoot out missiles which home in on you if you dash-jump. However, simply side-stepping seems to work better.

When the draws the shield inwards and shoots out blobs of Phazon, absorb them with the Charge Beam until it turns blue.

Shoot her with it, and she'll fall down. Keep shooting and continue until the end. There are two main things to worry about here; the timer and the Phazon.

If you die, you continue from the end of the Emperor Ing fight, so don't worry.
