Resident Evil sucks, but ED and AC (and Prime) are better than SMS.

Well...except the music that *is* from Super Metroid.

Maybe you didn't even make it to the lava world before you passed judgement.

But let me tell you, if you EVER complained about previous Metroid games being really easy, the final portion of Prime will make up for all of that, I guarantee it. It's that hard. I nearly gave up on even attempting to finish the game because of it. :(

I'm inside what I assume is the "final dungeon." Is this where it gets hard - harder than the two nasty bosses I just beat?

There is a hidden 180 degree turn in the game, if you need to dodge quicker than the dodge allows you chances are you need to use the morph ball dash out of the way. The moment you exit the morph ball you are facing the enemy you were fighting.

Hope that helps.

burg: The two bosses were hard as hell for me, as was the vertical climb you had to do in order to get to the first boss. That just pissed me off because of what you had to do *trying not to say anything spoiler-ish* :)

okay...i beat that ice/rock boss only to die on the way back to save (had 18 health left). now i can't play it for shit. tried the morph ball runaway technique when it tries to roll you over but it takes too damn long to morph and i still get squashed. so furious right now. plus i always get drilled trying to change visors. im sorry but that is the dumbest way they could have had you changing visors while fighting.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have been the Phazon Mines please help.












Okay So I get past the big mutated Space Pirate, and then I get past the room full of those gas mine guys. By this point I have about 30 health left. This is such a long and hard area to go without any save points. Those two plasma pirates after the gas room have killed me 5 times now and it takes 15 minutes to get there so Im getting rather purturbed. Can someone please either give me some advice or tell me if I'm almost to a save station.

Plasma Troopers shouldn't be appearing until after you've acquired the Plasma Beam. Are you referring to yellow-and-black Power Troopers? If so, use Super Missiles on them. That's a very tough area, and you still have a few rooms of Troopers before the save point. When you get to the Dynamo (the objective room) hang a quick right fo a save point before exploring.

I'm only about 15% thought (just got though Magmor with the Varia suit) and I can't belive how much like Metroid this game feels. I was expecting a FPS, and I got Metroid. I'll be damned. :) The only part of the game that feels un-Metroid is that I'm not bombing every section of the floors and walls in an effort to explore. There is just too much floor and wall surface in 3d! :D

i blieve theres a save right past the elevevator right past him

i found it really easy to change visors since the thumb over the c stick sint doing anything then just reach over and push on the d-pad

how many energy tanks do you have maybe it would be better for you to go and find 1 or 2 before trying it again

also you kinda have to use some for guessing he falls into an easy to read pattern and then the time it takes to morph isnt as big a deal when you know hes going to do it just change in ahead

Are you just using charged shots and missles on the ice boss? You can hammer away with regular shots and it does the trick. As for thermals, I used them to identify its weak spot, then when he summons rocks I'd switch. Sometimes I'd lose the lock for some reason, so you might have to go back to thermals one more time.

I need help in finding the Spirit Artifact. It says something like seek the unseen entrance at the top of the cave need Phendrana's edge. I've looked at the tops of the Phendrana Edge place and the cave near it, they both gave me missle expansions after finding the secret stuff. However, I can't find this Spirit Artifact.
