How to battle Gornea hints and tips for Metroid Prime: Hunters

How to battle Gornea

The final boss you battle is called Gornea. He's some creepy dude who dosen't like bounty hunters (see movie clip right before battle begins). First you must decide if your going to only battle the first form to unlock one movie clip, or to battle the first and second form to unlock a different movie clip. You can always battle Gornea again to unlock the other movie clip. Anyhow, if you wanna battle the second form, you must go around the room and shoot the colored panels in a certain order so that when you hit one correctly, it will spin. The panels must be shot with the corosponding weapon.

Eg. Green Panel - Battlehammer

Yellow Panel - Volt Driver

etc.

If you shot them all in the right order, you will get a message telling you that you did so and you will battle the second form after you defeat the first.

Now for the fight:

1. Gornea will be walking around starting out yellow and changing as he walks along. I recommend to wait for him to turn red then strike.

2. When he is red, zoom in with the Imperialist and blast the targets on his shoulders. If you hit him, His arms should blast off in a 1-Hit KO.

3. When his arms are gone, he will flip upside down and reveal his inner core. You must blast the core as much as you can with the same weapon you destroyed his arms with, in this case, the Imperialist. Also avoid his attacks like when he tries to scoop you up with his whip-like arm, then tries to launch bombs at you. Eventually, he will go back to his origonal form.

4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 until he's dead

5. Gornea-1 should be a somewhat easy battle if you know what your doing and you keep a constant assault when he flips upside down.

Now, if you shot the panals at the start, you will be transported to the second part, Gornea-2.

1. You will notice that if you climb the blocks up to the top of the room, you will be in a blue crater thingy, this is where a big part of the fight will take place.

2. Go to the very bottom of the room and wait for the artifact shield to open and give you the OMEGA CANNON. This weapon is whup-ass, to say the least. This weapon is the only thing that can damage Gornea-2.

3. When Gornea's floating body comes along, blast him with the Omega Cannon. If he dissapears, look around, he's not hard to find again. Ocasionally, he will teleport back to the purple crater thingy I mentioned earlier. This is when you'll get a good chance to blast him with the Omega Cannon.

4. This battle is for sure not as strategic as the first part, making it alot easier. You simply run around the room blasting him whenever you see him. If you beat Gornea-2, you will get a special ending with Samus with out her suit and saying goodbye to the Alimbic Spirits. If you only beat the first part of Gornea, you get a sad ending where Samus gets destroyed as Oubulette explodes.

5. Just to note something else, if you beat the second part, you will also unlock Oubulette as a multiplayer stage. The multiplayer stage is the room that you battled Gornea-2 in. Also, if get to the top of the structure in multiplayer you'll find the Omega Cannon (he, he, he...). I'll let you find out what it does in Multiplayer...........Oh, I can't help it! Its to awsome to hold back! Anything in it's blast radius will be instantly destroyed, even if the oppenent has 199 health. But in multiplayer, it comes with an extra caution. If the user is also in the blast radius, you will also be killed, so use with caution.

PS: I beat the game with a total play time of 8hrs, 11mins. Lets see if you can beat that!

Have Fun!
