_____________________

[Parasite Queen]

Location: Tallon Space Station.
Strategy: Scan it so you know its weak spot, so you can lock onto it. To shoot it, make sure you're not hitting the "panels" on the stasis field. Shoot in between for a clean shot. Stop when the panels swirl out of control, then fire again when you get an opening.

Location: First Minor Battle on Tallon IV
Strategy: Scan Them and Use a combination of your L and R buttons to take out the circling wasps, then hit the Hive Mecha. To Scan the Hive Mecha, you have to scan below the part you shoot, down in the poisoned water.

Location: Chozo Ruins shortly after picking up the Morph Ball
Strategy: He'll try to roast you with two flame jets. To attack, scan it, then shoot the red eye thing on top (with a Missile, if you've got it). After a few shots, it will burn the Hives above it, releasing some Barbed War Wasps. SCAN THEM NOW because you won't get another chance. Shoot them down, but concentrate on your objective of blasting the Drone. After awhile, he'll completely destroy the Hive and himself.

Location: Sun Chamber in the Chozo Ruins.
Strategy: Scan him and his Tentacles. Shooting him directly won't harm him, only daze him. To defeat him, you must shoot the red button on the backside of the sun panel that's warming him up. Flip it all the way up and he'll collapse to the ground, and his roots will retract from the canals near his bottom. Roll into one of those canals, attach yourself to the socket at the end, and set a Bomb. For the next round, you'll have to flip two sun panels. Be sure to shoot him to keep him dizzy, because he'll flip the panels back down given a few seconds to compose himself. Once both panels are flipped, you'll have to pick a different canal, since you blew up the last one.
Round 3 involves having to shoot 3-out-of-the-4 Sun Panels. Shoot a Panel, strife, daze Flaahgra inbetween panels, continue till you knock all 3 down. Destroy the canal that opens up.
For the Final Round, you must flip up All 4 Sun Panels. Do the same as you did for the other rounds and you will defeat Flaahgra. Once dead, all the poisoned water will turn pure again so you can explore new areas.

Strategy: Missles or Morph Ball Bombs will work Only!! You can not lock onto it's vulnerable spot, which is it's jaw. You'll have to aim on your own. The trick is to get close to it and try to circle around it so it doesn't run you over, then wait until it tries to breathe on you, which it will only do if you're close. After that, it'll be tired, where that will be your chance to fire a few missles at it or roll under it and drop some bombs. Continue to do this over and over until you defeat Sheegoth. Takes about 25 Missles to defeat it.

Location: Arena
Strategy: Thardus will - Roll up into a ball and try to run you over; Raise some rocks out of the ground to throw at you (which you can shoot for supplies), or shoot an ice beam along the floor, which can freeze you. To destroy Thardus, bring up your Thermal Visor. You'll see a bright spot on him. Shoot that spot until Thardus overloads your visor. Switch back to the Combat Visor and the weak spot on Thardus will be bright blue, and targetable. Blow it up. Then, pull up your Thermal Visor and aim for the next spot.
Thardus has seven spots altogether, and some get tough to hit, especially when the battle drags out and a snowstorm makes normal visibiity no more. Destroy all seven weak spots and Thardus will crumble to a pile of rubble.

Location: Central Dynamo of the Phazon Mines. You can't see him or track him.
Strategy: Shots bounce off harmlessly. The only time you can hit him is if you try to get close. When that happens, he'll try to fire, and that's when you should plug him with a Super Missile to drop him. Don't worry about documenting him. You can't.

Location: Very bottom of the Phazon Mines.
Strategy: Get too close and he'll swipe at you with his big claws. At a generally medium distance, he'll employ his Wave Quake Generator, which you should use a double jump to get over. At long range, he'll use his Plasma Incendiary Launchers, which you should just dodge to get out of the way from. If you shoot at him when he's not attacking, he'll use his shield to absorb your attacks. Now, to take him out, you have to shoot him while he's trying to attack (preferably with the Wave Quake). Once you scan him, there are four spots you can target, which are the four Phazon plates on his arms and legs. Hit them with anything you want. Plasma or Super Missiles work the best. Once you destroy all four, he'll call for help before fading out of view, using the Chameleon Manta. While he disappears from the battle for a few, Troopers of random colors will drop from the catwalks above. You're encouraged to kill them before they kill you. While fighting them, the Omega Pirate will try to recharge itself by standing on one of the Phazon pits. You have the option of fighting off the Pirates first, or ignoring them and pulling up your X-Ray Visor. The Omega Pirate is still largely invisible, except for the pure Phazon running through his veins as he recharges on the pit. You'll see his heart and veins. Open up with your best weapon because once all four plates are back on, he'll be back in the fight. Continue until Victory

Location: Artifact Chamber after activating the twelve.
Strategy: Scan Ridley From the Start, which will point out is his Chest. For the first part of this battle, he'll fly around the Artifact Chamber. If he halts and folds his wings, he's going to use his Multi-Missile System, which you should dodge. Also up in the air, he'll use his Kinetic Breath Weapon. If he swoops far from the battlefield, he'll come in at a bombing angle to release his Meson Bomb System, which you should dodge very quickly and run away from. When he stops and you have a clean shot, fire either a Charged Plasma shot or a Super Missile at him. Try to stay locked on the whole time, naturally. Sometimes, Ridley will land to spew fire or stuff at you, or slash you, so watch out. Once you wear him down to about a third of his energy, his wings will burn and he'll land on the chamber platform to go toe-to-toe. If you're far off, he'll perform a dashing slash, and afterwards, if he needs to turn to face you, he'll whip his tail, which hurts. If you're close, he'll just plain slash. He'll also use his Kinetic Breath Weapon at times. I've found that if I stand close, but not too close, he'll bend down and roar. When his mouth is open is when you should hit him. Give him one charged Power Beam shot in the open mouth and he'll recoil, leaving his chest open for you to launch a Super Missile at. Keep dodging, waiting for openings, and taking advantage of them, and you'll deplete his energy enough.

[Offense]
Strategy: Vulnerable point is the head. The only way to damage Metroid Prime is to shoot with the beam that's the same color as the little lights on his shell. If he's Yellow, use your Super Missiles; if White, use your Ice Spreader if you have it, otherwise use charged Ice shots. If Purple, use charged Wave Beam shots, and if Red, use regular Plasma shots. Use the Wavebuster if you have it, or save the Missiles for the Super Missiles and Ice Spreader.

[Defense]
Main Weapon: Colored beam he shoots from his mouth and Multiple Missles. If he's Purple, this beam will scramble your visor and you'll lose your lock on him. If he's White, this beam will freeze you solid.
Second Stage: Once you knock Prime down to the 2nd stage, he'll charge you whenever you inflict heavy amounts of damage on him. The lights on Prime, and his eyes, will dim when he's about to charge. To avoid this, roll up into a ball, and into the trenches under him.
Third Stage: Once here, he'll start using a Snare Beam, and will also release orbs that will attack you, which you should destroy.
Fourth Stage: Once here, He'll: Charge whenever he feels like it, Constantly switch colors, and fire missiles that release a poison gas. Aim Straight, avoid his attacks and you can get passed him

After destroying the outer shell, the real fight will begin. The True shape of Prime is a floating blue face with six tentacles.
Weapons: As his main attack, he will slam the ground, creating a Wave Quake that you need to double jump over. He also has a Chameleon Manta, which he'll use to change his opacity.
Strategy: First, he'll change so he can only be seen by Thermal Visor, then he'll change so he can only be seen by X-Ray Visor, then he'll be visible, but not to any special visors. After running a few Wave Quakes, it will create a pool of Phazon at its base and summon two Metroids. Stand in the pool and your beam will be powered up to Hyper Mode. Waste the two Metroids with your Phazon Beam, then look around for the Prime. Switch visors to Thermal or X-Ray if he cloaks himself (sometimes only one will work), and hold down the button. After draining its health, it will start summoning more powerful Metroids: Hunter, then Fission. Keep hitting it with the Phazon Beam until he finally dies. Not as difficult as the first fight, but still pretty tough.

It is easier to destroy the shadow drone if you have the wavebuster combo you could just stand in front of it and have the wavebuster just do the job!

thanx man this thread helped me alot

ERROR on the prime 2 startegy prime can only be seen with the x-ray visor first then thermel well..... thats about it

Cant it be either?
It is never the visor that was the last one.
So if you have to use X-ray, then the next time you would use thermal or just combat.

This info is just like a walkthrough but i think you use both thermal and x-ray visor

Sorry, but What again?

About what the last part of the last boss is about or your walkthrough thing

YOU use both visors ok. Does it really matter what order they're used in? I don't think so

Sorry jojoe, but you'll have to use better punctuation cuz I'm still having a hard time understanding you

From what I understand that you're asking me...Yeah, you use all your visors, no particular order. It depends on what Prime is doing that influences what visor you'll need to see it....

A easy way to avoid the plasma quake fire attack from metroid prime, second form is to just hide behind Metroid Prime's black shell. It worked for me.

or you Could just "JUMP" over it

Yea jumping's a good idea because if you don't it hurts.

just missing one scan book entry, between the aqua pirate and the glider. Can someone tell me what i missed?
