Best boss in the game imo. You’ll get it’s ass dw

 

I took a break, but is there something special I need to do to ride the spider magnet above it? It always hits me with a tentacle halfway, which does insane damage.

 

I stunned an EMMI twice in a row and it felt like I won the lottery

 

Me every time I'm caught: Fuck, ok gonna get out of tis shit ...

Two seconds later: Pain.

 

Agree with all of the above, the bosses so far have been challenging but fair. Haven’t come across anything yet that feels unbeatable. The death/respawn mechanism is pretty straightforward, plenty of save stations, bountiful health replenishment. The map updates as you explore even if you haven’t found a mapping station yet. Not to mention Metroid doesn’t really do currency or the whole “barrage of special power ups/skills to equip at different times” thing

I think one thing that fools a lot of people into thinking the bosses are unreasonable is the lack of health meter. It can make a 5 minute fight feel like 15 if you die without realizing how close to the end you were. But that is by no means exclusive to this game

 

Yeah I'm of the opinion that games should always provide a health meter for bosses tbh. Or at least let you toggle it on or off.

 

yeah you need to shoot the button on the left haha
so basically you shoot his top tentacle with your Y until he goes into a downed state, you shoot the button on the left until the water drains a little, ride the thing on top to the right, shoot the button on the right to drain the rest of the water and then he opens his mouth then you can shoot his tongue with your rockets

 

After beating the first boss is it cool if I head over to Cataris? Or should I explore more? I’m assuming I go back so

 

just keep going, most of the exploring happens organically.

if there are any glowing white spots on the map feel free to poke around, other than that for your first play-through I recommend let the game prod you into the right direction.

 

Seeing speed runs coming in under 2 hours. Anyone get close to that yet?

 

Was I not supposed to go to Darion yet if I haven’t beat a boss or EMMI on Cataris?

 

Nvm god damn shootable wall got me again…

 

I have no idea where I posted that ghost from

 

Life's good when you beat ab emmi in an area

 

Most of the creatures don’t really bother me, but these things are fuckin narcs

 

That's where I got stuck meandering until I realized I forgot to go back and do that haha

 

I realized I’m near the endgame when I got the gravity suit + spin attack because it basically breaks the game. Just mowing through every monster

 

But your supposed to explore Darion first a little I’m assuming? Didn’t see a boss yet on Cataris

 

Yeah I think so, I don't remember exactly for Darion but almost everything requires something from the next area to beat the previous one. Vintage Metroid haha

 

Port that Metroid prime trilogy to switch you cowards

 

Port everything to switch tbh

 

Swear to God I'm about to deduct a whole half a point from this game's overall score for making me deal with an underwater EMMI

 

Me, approaching the deactivated EMMI on Ghavoran

runrunrunrunrunrunfuckingrun

 

Finding the gravity suit is one of the more satisfying Metroid sequences I've had. There's some peak level design in this game
