Ok here we go then
This is one of the most challenging boss encounters I've ever had the pleasure to fight, its a very well worked boss
Basically it is a very long fight consisting of Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Phase 1: Metroid Prime in his arachnid like form
Its weakness varies depending on color, just like the fission Metroids. Prime's attacks and the effects are varied on its color but its basic moves are simple but powerful. Note: the names I use aren't the real names.
Move one: Mortar Missile. Slowly flies in air and homes in on you. Destroy for energy and missiles.
Move two: Charge Ram. It dashes across the arena. Use morph ball and sit in a scraped dent.
Move three: Slash. Back away from prime immediatly.
Move Four: Energy Beam. Varies on weakness. It either hurts you/freezes/catches you on fire/pulls you in to it, then slash. Hard to dodge.
Rinse and Repeat basically and keep widdiling away primes health!
Pilers are provide early in match but later destroyed. After some damage, Prime bashes though the floor. Repeating the whole process. When its health runs out, you think you won. Well think again...
Phase 2: Weird Floaty head jellfyfish Prime or "True Prime"
The TRUE Prime busts out from its old shell to its new form! Prime now looks like a floating jellyfish, with a head as a body, but is now Phazon induced! The Phazon induced version packs a punch and no saving either! All weapons are now deemed useless but one. That weapon is the previously unusable Phazon Beam!
To use it you must wait for True Prime to produce a ultra Phazon pool, but producing Metroids as well. Upon stepping in the pool, your visor blurs a bit and it says "HYPER MODE". Unleash all out doom to True Prime. Do this quickly! The pool will dissipate soon
Now, this doesn't mean True Prime is defenceless! It has many powerful moves. Move One: Whip. Hit you with tentacles. Back off.
Move Two: Camo. Disappears. Use Thermal/X-Ray(one works one time, maybe again) to see it!
Move Three: Summon Metroids and a Phazon Pool. Depends on heath. Summons regular, Humter, or Fission.
Move Four: Spin Whip. "Back Off!" move. You SHOULD back off.
Move Five: Ram. Self Explanatory. Side Strafe to dodge. Rarely used. Keep fighting hard and you should win.
It may sound easy enough explaining it but its alot harder actually doing it
If you manage to down this beast congrats to you
you've completed one of my all time favourite games
