03.)                          INTRODUCTION - G0300
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Hello! This is my first Metroid project ever, and a debut FAQ for Wii platform.
I hope you'll like this guide, as I'll try to make your journey through the
game to be the least painful.
Here's explanation of some things:
- Spoiler issue - I'm the player of the game, just like you (who is reading
this guide) are. First time I've played through the game was completely by
myself - therefore nothing was spoiled for me. All the story elements that
were supposed to surprise me had such effect. Hence why I will not include
any spoilers (except names of places and NPCs you must address to continue
the storyline).

For those who require help in getting thru the game further than what the
walkthru covers, here's something you could definitely use. I've made a video
playthru of the entire game from start to finish. It's available here:

CHAPTER 01 ========================================================= CHAPTER 01
WLK01                             GAME BASICS
CHAPTER 01 ========================================================= CHAPTER 01
Enjoy the introduction scene. After Samus dons Power Suit, it's time to get
accustomed to controls.
Hold Wii remote sideways - your left thumb will be controlling Dpad and A
button, while your right tumb will be controlling buttons 1 and 2.
Dpad is used to move Samus around.
A is used for Morph Ball mode.
B is used for looking around when in 1st person view mode.
1 is used for shooting Power Beam.
2 is used for jumping.
CHARGE BEAM - Press and hold 1 until fully charged and then release to shoot a
charged beam at the glowing ball. Repeat the exercise on two glowing balls.
MORPH BALL - With the Wii remote held sideways, press A. This will cause Samus
to morph into a ball.
NORMAL BOMB - Press 1 while in Morph Ball mode to release a bomb. You can lay
up to three bombs at once (or five at once if you morph ball at the moment when
Samus' beam is fully charged).
DEACTIVATE MORPH BALL - Press A while in Morph Ball mode to return to normal,
standing position.
Now you need to get inside the glowing square in the room. Doing so will cause
you to fall into a pit.
KICK CLIMB - Press and hold Dpad toward a wall and press 2 with good timing to
consecutively kick your way up. Make sure not to change direction with Dpad.
ATTACK - Press 1 to fire your beam at crab-like enemies. Keep killing them to
move onto next part of the training.
SENSEMOVE - At the right moment, press Dpad just before being hit. Use
Sensemove while pressing 1 to quickly reach full charge. Dodge Zebesian's beam
a couple of times and you're done.
CONCENTRATION - Hold Wii remote vertically and press and hold A to replenish
your missiles. You start the game with 10 missiles.
SEARCH VIEW - Point Wii remote at the screen and press and hold B to look
around. Zebesian is found on the ceiling in far right corner. When you do so...
LOCK ON - Press and hold B and point at your target to lock on.
NORMAL MISSILE - Press A and release immediately while locked on.
Zebesian will fall down from ceiling and engage in combat. Use the basics
you've learned and shoot the baddie with couple of charged beams. Once
sufficiently weakened, jump on its head. Once the enemy is grounded, you can
perform...
LETHAL STRIKE - Press Dpad toward a downed enemy while pressing 1. Once fully
charged, you'll launch a strong attack. Whoa...
POWER BOMB - Press A to change into morph ball, then press and hold 1 and
release when fully charged.
PRO-TIP - It is possible to sensemove while in 1PV. As you're about to get hit,
shake Wiimote and Samus will jump out of harms way.
CHAPTER 02 ========================================================= CHAPTER 02
WLK02                      MAIN SECTOR GUIDE, PART 1
CHAPTER 02 ========================================================= CHAPTER 02
W(est) means go left.
E(ast) means go right.
N(orth) means go into background.
S(outh) means go into foreground (that is, move Samus towards the screen)
Okie dokie, we're at the Bottle Ship, which I'll call BS for short. When the
scenes are finished, you can't move. Wut? I call that PIXEL HUNT. Point Wii
remote at the screen and search around for something interesting in order to
proceed. The point of interest is on the ship in front of you - look for the
emblem on its nose. To examine stuff while in this mode, press and hold B on
things of interest.
Afterwards go E into next area (man, I really hate it that areas don't have
names like they did in Prime series), or go W to return to your ship if you
want to save the game.
Screen will shake momentarily, then go N. It appears you're not alone on BS,
there's six other people who appear to have business here.
PIXEL HUNT - Point Wii remote at the door, hold B to lock on, and press A to
shoot a missile to open the path ahead.
For some incredibly stupid reason, Samus decides she wants to tag along with
Adam's orders and decides not to use any of cool upgrades she collected on
Zebes. They must be authorized first.
Go N into next area, then E into next area. Some annoying Reo (enemy resembling
a fly) will ambush you on the bridge and make Samus drop down from the ledge,
where Reo's buddies are having a party. Make a mincemeat out of them with your
trusty Power Beam.
After you dissipate all enemies, your minimap will beep a couple of times and a
blue dot will appear inside it. This means that the room you're in contains
some kind of power-up - those are:
70x Missile Tank
16x Energy Part (4 energy parts award one Energy Tank)
6x Accel Charge
5x Energy Tank
3x E-Recovery Tank
Once uncovered in this way, the item you have not yet collected will remain
marked on your map (which you can open with +). You cannot collect this
particular item yet, cos you need to get Normal Bombs auth'd.
Blue dot will also appear on the map if you scan the area and happen to lock on
collectable item.
K, so how do we get out of here? Look towards the right for a grating with some
type of switch on it. Go to 1PV and shoot the switch repeatedly until it
charges or deliver a charge beam into it to get the grating up a bit. Go morph
ball, roll under the grating and jump up. Continue going up, getting rid of two
Geemers (foe resembling a spiked crab) and several Reos, until you reach the
door leading E into next room.
This is a dark corridor, so be careful as you advance as there are Skrees
plastered on ceiling that will get a drop on you when you get close. When you
get past them, turn N into next area.
Three Reos will emerge from W door and attack you, so promptly delete them,
then take the door they attacked from. Hm, a loo, but nothing of interest here,
so return to previous room. Go up the stairs, and examine the terminal to open
N door. In order to operate the terminals, all you need to do is stand close to
them.
In next room go N and step into broken elevator shaft. Kick climb your way up
and go N to next room. Doors will lock behind you - defeat four Geemers and go
N to next room. Advance N across the bridge, kicking off four Geemers, then
take W exit to next room.
A large elevator area, with six Geemers presiding here. Get rid of them and
then work your way up the ledges to top of the room. At the top take N exit.
You have found game's first NAVIGATION BOOTH - NAV-B 01. These allow you to
replenish your health, restore missile ammo (like you need to) and open path
forward. Just stand on the platform and your game will be saved.
Exit N into long corridor, and keep going until a scene kicks in.
BOSS BATTLE - BRUG MASS
Listen for boss emitting a sound that resembles beeping, as this telegraphs
boss using tentacle smash up to four times in your general direction (sometimes
it'll go after you allies). Use sensemove to avoid being hit (you can just tap
directions on Dpad). Its weak point is obviously the eye, but how can you hit
it?
Once Brug stops the current slapping business, go 1PV and lock on boss' eye
with B for a scene. Your allies will now use freeze guns...
USE OF NORMAL MISSILES HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED.
Aaand you get to shoot missiles at last. Remember, 10 missiles is your starting
count - to use a missile, you need to press A while locked on.
You can shoot the eye in two ways - either you wait for Brug to bury its
tentacles into the ground and start to grovel for few seconds and then missile
the eye, or you deliver missile justice between the slight pause boss offers
before next slap attack.
Either way, once a missile is shot in its eye, Adam will order his team to
concentrate fire in single location, while you attack the frozen spot with a
missile. Aim at the frozen tentacle and missile it to shatter it for good. Brug
will now attack by sweeping the remaining tentacle around it on the floor. Did
you get the drill by now? Missile its eye, then wait for other tentacle to get
frozen, then missile it.
Now Brug will attempt to jump on you, which is still easily avoided by
sensemove. Shooting another missile into its eye will allow your allies to
freeze it again, letting you get a third shot in. Now a big beetle will jump
out of the remains and start scurrying around. Missile its ass too and boss is
defeated.
USE OF NORMAL BOMBS HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED.
You need to go to System Management room in order to restore power to the area.
A yellow diamond shape will now appear on your map, marking your next
destination. Okies, looks like we need to exit S.
As you go down the corridor, five Geemers will attack, so promptly dismiss
them. One of them jumped out of a vent, so go to that spot and morph ball into
the vent. Roll S, use normal bomb at broken grating and then collect MISSILE
TANK (01/70) to increase your missile ammo by 1 unit.
Go S to navigation booth and save your progress if you want. There's a lot of
NAV-Bs scattered thru BS, so don't worry about not being able to save often.
BTW, when your minimap in upper right has red flashing strips at the edges, it
means there are still some enemies left in the area.
Go S again into large elevator area and jump to the bottom - smash Geemers if
you want, and exit E. Cross the bridge (kill Geemers) and exit S. Along with
four Geemers there are two Skrees spacing around, so erase them all.
Now the door you need to take is locked, so we need a detour... along the left
side of the corridor is a broken down pipe, so morph ball into it and roll up.
Seems you can't go on? Use normal bomb to blast the grating, grab ENERGY TANK
(1/5) and blast another grating away.
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ROOM
Drop down and examine the terminal, which fails to power up. Instead you're
attacked by a swarm of Reos, and they keep coming from two hives at the walls.
Eventually they stop spawning for a while, so this is your cue to go 1PV and
shoot three missiles at each hive to destroy it. Once they're history, examine
the terminal again and power is restored (this will cause some of earlier areas
to get populated by baddies).
Take W exit, and go two rooms S. Don't take the stairs down, instead go along
left wall and look for a vent blowing out air. Missile it, and morph ball thru
the tunnel until you're back at the first area of BS. Collect MISSILE TANK
(02/70) on the catwalk and check the terminal at far end to unlock E door. Go E
twice to end up in a room where you met Adam and his team. While at top of
stairs, enter 1PV and look S to spot two ledges. Get up there and use a bomb to
open the grating, then morph ball thru the tunnel to grab MISSILE TANK (03/70).
Return thru the tunnel, and go N, then E. Jump off the bridge and scan the
floor for a tile that can be bombed. Morph ball into the hall, roll N and
collect MISSILE TANK (04/70), then avoid four Geemers with some bombs.
Make way to destination marker... when you get to the room with retractable
bridge, Samus will fall down and have a party with three Side Hoppers (purple-
grayish and green biped). Avoid their stomps and attempt to jump on their heads
to perform OVERBLAST (jump on enemy to climb on it and press 1 when fully
charged). Killing all three, go S and use kick climb to bounce up to MISSILE
TANK (05/70). Jump down and go N, then kick climb up the shaft... Damn, an
obstacle! Use 1PV and lock on to the plating in the ceiling, then missile it.
Now you can jump out and use the terminal to extend the bridge.
Continue to destination marker... in the big elevator room the elevator itself
is now operational. Take it to the top and examine terminal on the right - this
will raise the ledges at sides of the room. On left side look for a vent with
yellow outline - roll into it to collect MISSILE TANK (06/70).
Proceed to NAV-B 01, save your game and go N twice to get a briefing from Adam
about you being destined to clear Sector 1. Oh joy... exit E.
In corner of the room is a door that needs a Power Bomb to open (POWER BOMB
DOOR ALERT). You won't be able to open these until faaar later in the game. Use
the elevator to go up... I wanted to kick Adam's ass by taking W door, though
poor fool locked himself in... exit N.
Proceed down the corridor and check third vent on the ceiling to find a Reo
hive - missile it three times and then kick jump up the shaft to find an item
box with MISSILE TANK (07/10). Exit N.
Begind the elevator are two vents - morph ball into left one, bomb the grating
and then bomb item box for MISSILE TANK (08/10). Board the elevator to go down,
and snipe with little eye an item as you go... Before leaving the room, go to
right side of the room to get necessary footing for climbing up using the
ledges. Watch out for Bulls (foe that looks like a little meteor) as you go and
blow them up with beam shots. At the top of the ledges you can nab ENERGY PART
(01/16). Exit N.
Kill three Bulls and then five Side Hoppers (latter can also be disposed by
charged beams, though Overblasts kill them the quickest). POWER BOMB DOOR
ALERT, then exit N.
MAIN ELEVATOR
Weeee, roll into Sector 1 elevator.
CHAPTER 03 ========================================================= CHAPTER 03
WLK03                       SECTOR ONE GUIDE, PART 1
CHAPTER 03 ========================================================= CHAPTER 03
Exit E to NAV-B 02, save your game and exit E.
SECTOR 1 / BIOSPHERE
Exit N to a huge plant-covered room. In the distance you'll see two Reo hives
and Gripper (basically a flytrap) in front of each hive. Gripper will keep
eating Reos being spawned, so take your sweet time and missile the hives from
the distance, then clean up any remaining Reos and make sure to dismantle
Grippers as well. N exit is blocked by some vines - make the exit appear by
using a missile on the vines, then exit N twice.
Two Ghalmanians (a foe that resembles a chameleon) will attack you. Press
direction on Dpad to avoid initial attack. If Ghalmanian turns invisible, it'll
be spitting out some goo that travels in an arc, and when visible, it'll
attempt to grab you with its tail, or it'll appear behing you and try to impale
you with the tongue. It can also try to ram you.
When Ghalmanian is invisible, you'll need to lock on to it and missile it to
force it to appear. As Ghalmanian is losing health, you'll see a brief image of
it whenever it goes invisible allowing you to gauge its approximate location.
As Ghalmanian is just about ready to go, you can perform a LETHAL STRIKE (hold
Dpad towards the downed enemy while holding 1, and when fully charged, let go
of 1 to deliver a finishing strike).
GRAPPLE BEAM HOOK ALERT - when the glass gets shattered, you may see a red
light. That denotes a Grapple Beam hook being present, though it's gonna be a
while before you can use it. I'm just pointing it out for future reference.
Exit N when both Ghalmanians are gone.
Missile the fly hive at N end of the corridor, then advance a bit, destroy Reos
that appeared behind you and missile another hive to clear the corridor. Exit
N.
Hm, a giant beanstalk? Approach it and dismantle Geemers on lower level (this
includes crossing the small catwalk towards N exit), then climb the path around
beanstalk... careful though as there are several Grippers poised along the way.
Keep pressing Dpad towards a possible Gripper and you'll sensemove as one
attempts to grab you. At the top take the catwalk, cleaning up Geemers, Reos
and another damn hive. Shoot the door with missile to remove the vines, then
exit N (but in relation to + map you actually exit W).
Note: Damn, the game takes a turn for the worse with directions. Ah, Samus
it... I'll just be using directions as they come up when you look at gameplay
screen.
Save at NAV-B 03, exit N. Proceed thru the corridor when suddenly Wavers (foe
that resembles a clam) come to life and start flying around, trying to divebomb
you. Smack them away with beam shots, and exit N.
Uproot two Grippers ahead and then slide down the slope. Try to augment your
descent past spiked vines and jump over the third. SUPER MISSILE LOCK ALERT n
the ceiling of the slope. At the bottom eradicate all Geemers and Wavers as you
go N... AAAAARGH...
A new enemy will attack Samus - this is Griptian (it resembles an armadillo).
It has a couple of attacks - rolling into you, lunging at you, striking at you
from the ground, punching you, or jumping onto you. It is most vulnerable when
it lunges at you, as it goes thru several moments of weakness with its claws
being stuck, and at this time you can deliver lethal strike. After you smash
first one, two more emerge for you to deal with.
N door is locked, you can't go S, so exit E. SUPER MISSILE LOCK ALERT - Super
Missile blast door bars your progress E, so let's look for another way. There's
some shattered glass thru which you can fit as morph ball - smack Wavers away
only for nothing to be found. But there's an item in ceiling's vent... Roll
back out in the corridor and look near top of the screen for entries into vents
- the right one is open, so jump up in order for Samus to grab on, then press
jump button again to have Samus morph ball into the vent. Collect MISSILE TANK
(09/70) and keep rolling until you fall down on other side of Super Missile
door.
Exit N into what appears to be an observation room. Nothing of interest here
yet, so exit S, then go downstairs and exit E. Take the far N door.
BREEDING ROOM
Walk thru it for a scene, then exit S. The door locks behind you, exit W, go
upstairs and exit N into observation room. Something's changed here - a Geemer
test subject has appeared in center of the room in some tube. Missile it for a
way out of here. Enter morph ball and jump into the hole where the tube used to
be. Hold down to roll out of the vents, and exit W.
Here N door is still locked, so attempt to go S...
PIXEL HUNT - Point Wii remote at the screen and tilt your view a bit left. Look
near the ground and watch for the moving leaves of a plant in front of what
appears to be a big red fruit. Haha, you think that thing is cute?
Adam will now unlock N door, which you promptly take. Aw, heck, why lock the
door behind me then? Go thru the forest, swatting Reos and smashing two hives
for ITEM BEEP. No way out? As you backtrack, you'll see small creatures with
red light falling out of a hole. Morph ball into it and you'll end up on a
ledge with semi-visible terminal. Examine it and the layout of the area will
change, revealing N exit. Um, the item? Backtrack even more and you'll find a
couple of stone steps - jump up them to nab MISSILE TANK (10/70).
Exit N into a corridor full of Geemers that keep coming after their brethren
are slain. Above N exit is a charge switch - pump it full of beam shots or use
single charged beam to activate it. The room will fill with some gas,
incapacitating your foes and unlocking N exit.
Now you're in an area with a waterfall. Behind the waterfall is Reo hive to
destroy, then snipe some Reos in the distance. Enter the waterfall and roll
into the hole you'll find here. While in morph ball, you can use 2 to jump.
Near the exit you'll be blocked by a rock, so bomb it.
Now walk around the room, past the sleeping beauty, and on other side operate
the terminal. Sleeping beauty will wake up, and three Side Hoppers will appear
close to you. Overblast them, then take care of Dragotex (dinosaur-like foe).
Three missiles should do it in. Changing the room's layout revealed an elevator
shaft in NE corner, so kick jump up the shaft.
Exit N, clear nine Geemers from the corridor and roll into open vent along left
side for MISSILE TANK (11/70). Exit N, smosh about twelve Wavers and slide down
the slope, jumping over spiked vines when necessary. Exit N into much needed
NAV-B 04.
Aim at the crack in W wall and missile it, then morph ball thru it. Walk thru
long corridor, ignoring two Groganch freaks outside (they can be killed later
in the game, but serve no significant purpose I could find), and exit N.
Take W door into ladies room, and examine one of the stalls for ACCEL CHARGE
(1/6), exit E into previous room and exit N. Kill three Bulls in the corridor
and exit N, kill five Geemers and take E door into elevator shaft. As you're
jumping up the ledges, clean away prowling Geemers. Also take note of two
ledges you can stand on at right side of the shaft. Go as far high up as you
can on left side of the shaft. Now get ready...
Once you can't go any higher, enter 1PV and missile the sparking junk holding
the elevator in place. Elevator will lower a bit, but be stopped by another
junk piece, and a Ghalmanian will appear all the way down below. Quickly
descend to the higher of two ledges on the right, enter 1PV and missile the
junk piece that stopped the elevator.
Elevator now falls, squishing the Ghalmanian. Work your way up and jump left to
get out of elevator shaft. Snipe away five Geemers. Hm... get back to elevator
shaft and go 1PV. Near the top ledge you'll see a tunnel - morph ball into it
to get MISSILE TANK (12/70). Finally, exit N.
SUPER MISSILE LOCK ALERT. Blast. But wait, something else is here. There are
little openings in all corners of the room. Morph balling into any opening on
right side leads to item box with MISSILE TANK (13/70). Exit N into what
appears to be a control room for that waterfall scenery down below.
At NE corner of control room is a vent that can be missiled to produce an exit.
Roll into it, fall down, and keep rolling right. Bomb the three blocks, then
careful... bomb two blocks and immediately deploy more bombs to disintegrate a
Geemer. Keep moving right and look for another block in the wall that can be
bombed. Roll thru the opening to end up in waterfall area at some ledges. You
cannot claim the item in the corner yet, cos you need Grapple Beam auth'd
(GRAPPLE BEAM HOOK ALERT). Roll back into the hole, and continue right. As you
go down the second slope, slow down! Jump over the hole ahead to collect
MISSILE TANK (14/70), then score the hole in one.
SCRAP BLOCK
Roll right into room full of Wavers, and shoot them all. You can also destroy
all strange rocks by messaging them with a missile. In upper left corner near
the floor is a tunnel which leads to a bombable grating, awarding you with
MISSILE TANK (15/70). Roll back out, go upstairs and exit N.
Go thru the tunnel, shoot the vines with missiles, roll thru the hole. Now
avoid the deeper parts of the ground or a Gripper will eat you up. As you steer
past second pit, Sandfang (foe that resembles a worm) will break thru N wall
and come screeching in your direction. Mash Dpad to avoid getting damaged.
Ahead is Gripper roomful... meh. Altogether there are six killable Grippers,
three of them are already moving, and other three spring to life as you get
closer (sensemove to avoid being eaten). Finally missile the vines to the E and
get a move on for a dead end? Missile a part of the ceiling to collapse it,
then missile a rock blocking access to a pipe you can roll thru towards E.
SUBTERRANEAN CONTROL ROOM
Dispose of two Ghalmanians, then exit E into NAV-B 05, save your game and exit
E. You'll have to fight three FG-1000s. The metal menaces can only be damaged
when they try to shoot you with diffusion beam. First you need to deal with two
FG-1000s. They'll attempt to ram you a couple of times before switching to
shooting mode. Deliver charged beams up their rears or missile them for
instakill. When one droid goes kaputt, another one appears. Smash all three and
last one will drop DIFFUSION BEAM upgrade.
Once collected, N wall will move away, revealing two Reo hives. Destroy Reos
with charged beam (now a cinch since shots scatter after hitting initial
target) and missile both hives to kingdom come. Examine the terminal to unlock
N door in NAV-B 04. Exit W into NAV-B 05, save your game and exit W.
Duo of Sandfangs will make five holes, three in the ceiling and two on N wall.
When a Sandfang appears in any of the holes, it'll charge up an electric ball
and send it towards you after couple of seconds. If you can missile it during
the time Sandfang is charging the shot, it will fall out of the hole.
If that happens, Sandfang will try lunging at you and attempt to devour you.
Deliver a charged shot to it to make it rise up, exposing its belly which is a
weak point. Before it crashes back down, shoot another charged shot at its
exposed belly, and finish it off with lethal strike once weakened. When first
Sandfang becomes bait, remaining Sandfang will make two more holes on S wall,
making it harder for you to locate it. It may also need two missile shots to
get it to fall out.
When killed, exit W into morph ball tunnel. Bomb slot is now active, so fall
into it, deploy a bomb and get shot away. You'll end up in the waterfall room,
with a Dragotex charging at you. Avoid it, and take it away with three
missiles.
Make your way to NAV-B 04, save your game and take N exit. Assassinate all
Geemers and Wavers (may take a while), then go morph ball and check near left
side of the room to find a pipe. Enter it, bomb the debris to clear it away,
and morph ball jump into next part of the pipe. When you get out on a balcony
overlooking the corridor... SUPER MISSILE LOCK ALERT (look in the far NW corner
of the room). Examine the terminal to change the room's layout into forest-
like.
A single portion of metal wall can be seen on N end of the corridor. If you
examine it from close up, you'll also spot a crack in it. Enter morph ball,
morph ball jump and deploy a bomb to destroy the crack. Roll into the hole and
you'll end up somewhere underground.
Carefully advance down the tunnel... missile the weblike barrier, kill two
Reos, then Gripper, missile the weblike barrier, kill two Reos, then Gripper,
missile the weblike barrier, kill two Reos, and missile final weblike barrier
which holds Griptian. Kick its butt, and exit N.
BIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT FLOOR
There's nothing of interest at the bottom, so start climbing the circular path.
You'll encounter Frondanas and Poison Grippers here. Frondana is plant on wall
or ceiling that tries to shoot you with energy ball, or attempts to grab you
with a vine. And Poison Gripper is a smaller version of Gripper, except that it
can move and it can't eat you up the same way Gripper can. Frondanas can only
be damaged when open, so take note of that. Squish first Frondana, then
continue onward, sniping Poison Grippers outta the way. Missile second and
third Frondana, then drop on a ledge below your current one to get MISSILE TANK
(16/70). Continue the climb (wave sayonara to fourth Frondana) and at the top
jump into the hole and get ready.
PIXEL HUNT - Point Wii remote at the screen and look to the right. Examine the
larvas crawling around...
BOSS BATTLE - KING KIHUNTER
A crapload of Kihunters will attack you. Use sensemove in combo with charged
shots to take them out. Watch out for those without wings - if one grabs hold
of you, it'll self-destruct for huge damage. Once enough Kihunter have been
slain, some flowers at the ceiling will open and start shooting you with energy
balls. Avoid the barrage and once they stop for a while, missile as many as you
can.
When you destroy two flowers (or you dawdle around for too long), another bee
wave will arrive - after killing them, flowers open up again, but this time
with no breather between shots. When only one remains, you have to deal with
both Kihunter and evading flower's shots. Eventually Kihunter wave will
temporarily subside, allowing you to shoot the final flower.
The hive at the ceiling will now collapse, revealing King Kihunter along with
its subjects. Destroy the followers, then missile the King a couple of times
before new ones appear. About six missiles will finish it off.
After the scene you're supposed to go to the Exam center. Zeros (basically a
larval stage of Kihunter) can be killed by bombs, and they mutate into
Kihunters if not killed fast enough. There's also Side Hopper to be killed.
Just before the side path meets with main corridor, there's a vent you can roll
thru to get to ENERGY PART (02/16). Now exit N into NAV-B 06 and save your
game, then exit N.
Shoot Reos in the distance and then bomb remaining Zeros. Take a right at the
junction and exit N.
Jump into the water and work your way E, shooting Skulteras (dried fish, heh)
as you go. Missile Frondana and then morph ball into the tunnel it was blocking
to collect MISSILE TANK (17/70). Roll back out and continue towards E, shooting
more fish. At the end shoot charged beam to the wall switch to activate a lift
platform above the water surface (SPEED BOOSTER BARRIER ALERT). As you go back
W, stop every so often and look up to find some more Frondanas on the ceiling
(there's three in total). When you're fairly close to one, it'll open up and
flail its tentacle around, meaning you can missile it. Climb out of the water
and hang onto lift platform to carry you back all the way to E exit.
This room is divided into two 'ponds', left and right one. Jump into the water
of left pond and mutilate all Skultera below surface, then climb back out and
shoot two Bulls. Jump across the little islands and shoot charged beam into
charge switch on N wall. This will cause the water level to rise, allowing you
to jump further E. Get below water in right pond and shoot all the Skulteras,
then walk towards SE end to find a hole. Morph ball into it to collect MISSILE
TANK (18/70). Get out of the hole and look up - on lower side of one of the
islands there's a charge switch, so shoot it with charged beam to lower the
water level. Climb out of the water and jump over to E-most island (shoot all
Bulls buzzing around). Look up for a charge switch which needs to be shot with
charged beam as well. This will now cause water level to alternate between
rising and lowering. While still standing on E-most island, wait for water
level to rise. When it does so, jump right towards the side of the cliff and
then kick jump your way up. Exit N.
Now you're in large area with lots of trees, and rain keeps pouring down. Shoot
a couple of Poison Grippers that are closing in on your position, then go all
the way W as far as you can. Along the left side of the room are two trees - N
one has some platforms for you to use, which eventually lead to a pipe you can
morph ball into. Roll thru two pipes (careful, second one is littered with two
Geemers), then jump across to third pipe, fall down two ledges to fourth pipe,
jump up to fifth pipe (three Geemers inside). At the end of plumbing work
you'll land on a ledge where a terminal can be examined to change room's layout
and wake up another enemy.
This is Groganch. The weak spot is orange bulb, which can be either on its
belly or its back - in this case it is on its belly. The sicko will be
launching two types of purple projectiles. One homes in on your position, and
the other is simply shot in an arc. The easiest way to dispose of boss is to go
1PV from fair distance and missile the weak spot. If your missiles run out,
just use concentration and you'll be raring to go.
If homing purple projectile gets past your missiles too close for comfort,
shake Wiimote to perform sensemove. After about four missile hits Groganch will
screech and move the weak spot on its back. Missile it some more and it'll
revert back to its belly. At this point it is close to defeat, so couple more
missile hits will permanently put it on ice.
A lift door opens and N exit unlocks as well. Kick wall up the shaft and exit N
into NAV-B 07. Save your game and exit N.
Kill hatched Kihunters, Zeros and whatever else you find in the room, then drop
down the ledge to some crates, and exit N.
Look toward the ceiling and missile the crate up there. When it pops, it'll
reveal MISSILE TANK (19/70), then walk into elevator shaft and jump up using
the ledges on the sides. At the top enter 1PV and shoot charge switch with
charged shot to activate bomb slot at the bottom. Roll into it and bomb it to
be shot up to higher floor. Exit S.
Kill five Kihunters infesting the corridor, exit S. Doors will lock behind you
and three Griptians will roll in for the fun. Smash them with overblasts when
they lunge at you, leaving them defenseless for a few moments. Exit E
afterwards.
Kill four Reos, exit N. Shoot two Frondanas as you near them, exit N. Now
you're in a huge area (formed as a quarter-circle when looked at + map). You'll
need to kill another Groganch. Along left wall of the area is a red line -
follow it north to find a platform lift (SPEED BOOSTER BARRIER ALERT). Grab
onto it, enter 1PV and shoot Reos coming out of the wall. When it stops, hold
right on Dpad and press 2 to grab onto another ledge. Roll into the the pipe
(careful of several Geemers residing here), and don't pass up ENERGY TANK
(2/5). Roll out of the pipe and operate the terminal to open up N door. Exit N
into NAV-B 08.
Exit N (POWER BOMB DOOR ALERT), and exit N again.
BIOSPHERE TEST AREA
Samus auto-moves to the building in distance.
EXAM CENTER
Exit N into the elevator, then move S. Exit N into NAV-B 09 to save your game,
then exit N. At junction go right, and get stumped at locked door... go morph
ball and bomb E wall to make a hole. Roll thru the tunnel, and exit N into the
room with terminal for the locked door we passed. Check the terminal to unlock
the door, exit S, roll thru the tunnel again and exit N.
Take N exit twice into a big computer room and a scene pops. While somebody is
busy hacking the computer, you need to check out the building. Go upstairs,
exit N into NAV-B 10 to save, then follow your nose. Eventually you'll pop into
a sort of cryo chamber, and then you'll find a room with five doors. Examine
middle door...
PIXEL HUNT - Point Wii remote at the screen and search around corpse's chest.
Samus returns to the computer room. So we need to search for possible survivor
now. Go upstairs into NAV-B 10 and then keep going straight (a new door will be
unlocked)... when you end up in a room with five corridors, enter any of them.
PIXEL HUNT - Point Wii remote at the screen, aim up and examine any foe.
Defeat all Zebesians (three onscreen max, with three coming as reinforcements),
then return to computer room. Don't pass up saving in NAV-B 10! When you exit
the room, go a bit downstairs for several scenes...
Samus is pinned to the ground, and you have to missile the foe's tail before it
impales you. Its tail will keep moving faster and alternate positions more
often the lower its health. After sustaining nine missile hits you're saved.
PIXEL HUNT - Point Wii remote at the screen, and turn right. In front of the
vehicle there's some green puddle on the ground. Examine it.
All right! Finally we can move to another sector... To the left of entrance to
exam center is another door. Take it and jump down the elevator shaft.
CHAPTER 04 ========================================================= CHAPTER 04
WLK04                      SECTOR THREE GUIDE, PART 1
CHAPTER 04 ========================================================= CHAPTER 04
POWER BOMB DOOR ALERT. Exit E.
SECTOR 3 / PYROSPHERE
Go E, shooting Skrees, Heat Bulls (same as Bull foe, except it's on fire) and
Mellas (fly enemy on fire, can spit fireballs). Observe the background for an
image of a lava monster, which will eventually try to eat you up by suddenly
lunging from below. When it does so, tap right on Dpad to do sensemove. The
portion of the walkway is now gone, and if you turn around, you'll see a
Grapple Beam hook in the air (GRAPPLE BEAM HOOK ALERT). Exit E.
Kill two Heat Bulls, exit E into NAV-B 11 and save your game. Exit W into
previous room, and look at the background to spot three small fireflies (these
usually denote an item is nearby). Jump into the opening, and spot a tunnel
towards the left. Morph ball thru it to nail ENERGY PART (03/16). Roll back out
and (SUPER MISSILE LOCK ALERT) take lower W exit into a giant lava-covered
area.
While in rooms with lava, or when near lava pool, Samus takes continuous damage
over time. It's best to avoid fighting baddies at this time until we get Varia
Suit. Go W until that lava monster attempts to eat you again. Perform sensemove
and then point of view changes temporarily.
Run S, jumping when necessary and doing sensemove when appropriate. Two times
you'll need to grab onto a ledge in order to move forward. If by chance you
fall into lava, don't dawdle in taking too long to get back onto the rocks. And
if you perish, simply choose to restart. At one point the lava monster will
shatter some rocks - this is a POWER BOMB SPOT ALERT.
At the end exit S into a room with the doors locking behind you. Several
Zebesians will attack you - deal with them appropriately, only to have more
join in the fun, as well as Mellas being spawned at their hive in the corner.
USE OF ICE BEAM HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED.
Ice Beam has higher damage output, and is excellent against heat-based foes.
Now we're talking! Use the upgraded beam to swiftly kill all remaining foes.
Then bomb the three circles on the floor, one of them revealing a bomb slot.
Roll into it and bomb it to claim ACCEL CHARGE (2/6). Exit E, clear the room of
Mellas and Sovas (foe that looks like beetle on fire), then exit E.
Dessgeegas will emerge from the sand. It looks like Side Hopper, but is
purplish and has spikes on the legs. Shoot it with charged beam to freeze up
its leg, then jump on its head and perform overblast. You'll need to do it
twice to defeat it. There are four Dessgeegas in the room. Also, one of the
vents blowing out fire is damaged - aim at it in 1PV and shoot it with charge
beam, then roll into the vent and bomb the item box for MISSILE TANK (20/70).
Take the other E exit.
Kick jump your way up the shaft, shooting away three Sovas. SUPER MISSILE LOCK
ALERT in the ceiling, then walk thru the corridor, blow away some more Sovas,
and drop down the other shaft, making sure to grab on one of the ledges along
the left side (at the bottom is a lava pool and it'll drain your health
slowly). Enter 1PV and shoot charge switch just above the doors to raise them a
little, so you can fit thru as morph ball. Remove another Sova and exit E into
NAV-B 12. Save your game and exit E into giant lava area again.
Trek E and be careful of Magdollites (resebmles a lava giant). Smaller ones
will be spitting rocks at you, while larger ones rely on surprise tactics of
suddenly popping out the lava swiping at you. Pass three large and one small
Magdollite, then you'll need to jump in order to climb a ledge. As you drop
down on other side, go morph ball and roll into the hole near where you landed.
Bomb the grating and collect ENERGY PART (04/16). Roll back out and continue E.
Note of couple of stone platforms leading N to some Grapple Beam hooks in the
air (GRAPPLE BEAM HOOK ALERT).
Clean the corridor of Sovas, Mellas and their hive, then take the other W exit.
FLOOR OBSERVATION ROOM
As soon as you get to center of the room, a new enemy attacks. Use sensemove
immediately to avoid initial strike. Asborean is heavily armored, and has a
weak point on its belly. Weak point is exposed just before Asborean tries to
hit you with (double) swipe, so charge up a beam and let it rip. After second
swipe it also takes the Asborean a few moments to regain the stance, offering
you a good chance at striking it.
Every so often Asborean will go into ramming mode. It can also release several
small blobs which track you along the ground and then explode in your face. The
crucial moment to look for is the following - while Asborean is in ramming
mode, it may open up its pincers and protrude its head from the shell. This is
your cue! Shoot it with charged beam to stun it momentarily, then run up close
for lethal strike - Samus will pull Asborean's body out of the shell,
destroying the latter in the process. Deliver final charge shot to Asborean,
though be careful of letting it grab you. It'll seppuku for some big damage.
Go morph ball and roll under the stairs leading to monitor showing a volcano to
nail MISSILE TANK (21/70). Exit W, then N.
Uhoh, the volcano is active. How uncouth. Run for it, since your energy is
slowly being drained, but advance with caution. Volcano rocks will fall at the
spot which is highlighted on the ground, giving you advance warning of where
not to stand. Some rocks will spawn Sovas, so dispose of them if you so desire.
At the end of bridge is NAV-B 13.
