![]() ![]() The most critical part of surviving this fight is still avoiding the Phazon at the perimeter of the room. If you played the first Metroid Prime, this phase will look and be fairly familiar to the first phases of the original Metroid Prime fight. The Inglets drop significant health pickups, so you'll want to gather as many of these as possible you may even come out ahead by the time this part is done. This fight will go quickly if you can lure out several tentacles and drop a Power Bomb. Hopefully you came with a stash of Power Bombs. You'll be better off attacking the lower spots first because the gas gradually rises. If you get knocked off, spider back up swiftly out of the gas. Drop bombs, and attempt to time them so that they explode on the tentacles to damage the Chrysalis. When you're close to a weak spot, it will bubble with Dark energy for a moment then a tentacle will spawn for a short time. There are weak spots on the shell that will occasionally spawn Inglets. The room fills with toxic gas, scan the Chrysalis quickly then use Spider Ball to latch on and roll up out of the gas. This is actually the easiest of the three phases. When you've defeated the first incarnation of the monster, it forms a chrysalis to protect itself while it tries to recover. As the creatures health gets low it steps things up by sprouting more tentacles and using more powerful attacks. Eventually it recovers and you're back to fighting the tentacles again. Shooting the eye is the only way to actually damage the monster so try to make every shot count. The eye will shoot laser beams back at you so keep moving when you see it charging up. ![]() The eye has two shields and the only way to hit the eye itself is to fire into the gap if you remember the Parasite Queen battle at the start of the previous game then this will be familiar. Be sure to get a scan here because it's easy to miss. When the last tentacle has retracted the creature reveals its eye. Another attack is to create warp windows through which more tentacles appear, so you'll want to watch out for these and keep your distance. It can also create bombs with a wide area of effect, if you listen for these you can often Boost out of range before they hit. It may also start swinging it's tentacles in a wide circle, but you can jump over them like a skipping ropes. ![]() It will take swipes at you to for one thing, but you can sometimes avoid this by staying out of reach, but don't back into the Phazon at the edges. Meanwhile, the monster attacks you with its tentacles in a number of ways. The charged Light Beam is useful here because its shot gun effect will help get in a hit, but the regular Light Beam is almost as effective and uses less ammo. You need to shoot the ends of the monsters tentacles to get them to retract, but they move around a lot so you'll have a hard time with accuracy. Start by getting scans of both the head and body. This is the first of three phases in this fight, but this part is actually not as bad as you might expect. ![]()
