The "I need help" Topic

2004-11-19 07:33:52 pm

Ask anything about how to reach the next part or how to do this or that.
Just to keep the board clean from topics that served its purpose after like.. 2 posts. And this way we can keep the questions at one place so we wont get several topics regarding the same question.

I'm locking all of those threads that more or less fit into the description above.

What luck, there's french fry stuck in my beard.

What part of the battle do you need help with?

I guess I just need an overall strategy. I mean its hard to do dammage to him, and you can't lock on to him. In my experience with the metroid series, this means that I am going about it the wrong way. Is there a way that makes it easy/easier?

If you're talking about the actual temple boss, if you scan it you can lock onto its stomach if I recall (Kinda like the parasite queen's mouth in Prime): Just try and wait until it leaps out of the water for a second before firing. Also, he surfaces and "sits" on the edge of the platform you're on as well, so that's a good time to attack.

Speaking of which, I recently got them and need help getting to the tall shaft that the hint is at on my map (In Sanctuary Fortress). I know I can get to it from the room with the rings and the blue sphere and the sonic door at the bottom, but I don't know how.

I am stuck in the sanctuary fortress. I got to a door that says its being guarded by sonic devices, and that I should destroy them. But i am unabloe to destroy them, and I can't go back, because I need the spider ball to go back

Never mind mine, I figured it out.

Edit: Did you try using the Dark Visor?

What's the best strategy for beating the Boost Guardian?
Thanks! ^_^

When he's in Ing form, blast him with charged Light. If you're out of the ammo, stick with Super Missiles. When he's in Boost Ball, remember your physics and stay out of his way. Avoiding him is tough but planning where he'll be bouncing to is pretty easy. Bomb him when he turns into the puddle after 3 boosts. Repeat until he's dead.

Is it bad to activate the bridge in the room Dark Forgotten Bridge in Dark Torvus Bog before acquiring super missiles? The bridge faces a super missile door to begin with. At this point I cannot find a way to reach the door. It seems to be one of the only two places I can go.

The other place is in Gathering Hall of Light Torvus Bog. This room seems to require the grappling beam and/or the spider ball. I can only assume I need to advance further in Dark Torvus to get the grappling beam or spider ball.

I think charged light beam is all around worthless, because so many of the enemies have a short time in which you can hit them, either because of facing or phasing. (Some of them, like hunter ings and dark pirates, seem to phase when you use any charged shot unless theyre in the middle of something.)

That's especially true on the boost guardian, who suddenly becomes unhittable while decides to sphere. You can easily get in 3 or 4 regular light shots before he switches back.

Well, you don't have to worry about finding the third key, it's in a cache right off the Dark Temple, but I don't think you can get it until you get the second key. I forget where that one is, though.

I've only found that one in trial tunnel but still haven't found the other two keys.

I'll try to be as cryptic and non-specific as I can in my plea: can someone point me in the general direction of beam number four?

lol no way

Ooh, me, me! I just got it and feel really cool, so here goes:

Get all three keys in Sanctuary Fortress or whatever that area's called, then go fight the boss in Dark Sanctuary Fortress.

:D

Here you go Inferno.

Dark Aether, Dark Agon Wastes: Trial Tunnel-Dark Agon Temple Key #1

Light Aether, Agon Wastes: Storage D-Dark Beam

Dark Aether, Dark Agon Wastes: Doomed Entry-Dark Agon Temple Key #2

Dark Aether, Dark Agon Wastes: Ing Cache 1-Light Beam
Dark Aether, Dark Agon Wastes: Battleground-Dark Agon Temple Key #3

In other words, go back and get the Dark Beam in the Light World Agon area, then re-enter the dark and get the Light Beam. If you need actual directions, I can go look on my map and tell you where to go.
