As her name might clue you, the Metroid Queen is the largest, toughest of all the Metroids. Unlike other Metroid bouts, the Metroid Queen has a few different phases to it. To start, her only weak point is the inside of her mouth. Whenever her mouth opens, send a missile straight at it. Even if that means shooting a couple of Missiles into her mouth as she's attacking before ultimately avoiding said attacks, you'll have to do this in order to win.

In the first phase of the battle, the Metroid Queen will begin with her fire breathing attack. Luckily she'll only aim at the floor and the ceiling, so it's easy to dodge by using the Spider Ball on one of the walls. If she starts to approach Samus, she'll try to ram her. However, this can also easily be avoided by Space Jumping to the top right corner of the room. If the Queen lights the wall on fire first, she will try to blow you into it. The force she has is fierce, and the only way to have a chance at avoiding damage is to Spider Ball onto the ground and moving directly towards her.

Before each the Second and Third Phases, you'll get a free chance to Counter her first attack. This can deal some massive damage if done right, but it takes some fast commands in order to do this. When the Queen begins to back up with her mouth open, wait exactly for the yellow glow to appear. The moment she snaps at Samus, do your Counter. Immediately, a red ball will appear in her mouth. Use your Grapple Beam to lock hold of it , and then send her to the ground. From there, turn into your Morph Ball and activate your Lightning Armor, and then roll straight into her mouth. When you reach her heart, unload one of your Super Bombs.

The Second Phase will then start with the Metroid Queen shooting some green fireballs. To avoid, hop onto the wall and Spider Ball straight up to the ceiling. After she lights the ground and walls with fire - which she will do - she will shake the room in order to cause you to fall from the ceiling. To avoid this from happening, drop down right when the fire on the ground floor begins to clear. There will always be a path to the ground to avoid her green fireballs, but only if you drop fast enough.

The Third and Final Phase sees more of the same from the Metroid Queen, but this time around she'll mix up the direction of her fire attacks by first igniting the walls and ceilings on fire. She'll try her best to shoot even more green fireballs, as well as blow you into the walls to cause damage. Do exactly as you did before to power through, turning into your Spider Ball and approaching her.

By doing all of this, the Metroid Queen won't be as difficult to defeat as she appears to be.
