Fire missiles faster
--------------------
With the first gun equipped, rapidly press Y + A. As soon as the
missile fires, the gun will switch back to beam weapon mode, but
when you press Y again, it fires another missile. This can take
down enemies in a shorter time, preventing them from having more
attacks on you.
Extra missiles
--------------
After destroying ceiling robots and other enemies, they will leave
behind missile ammunition that can be collected. Save missiles to
defeat the Parasite Queen easier.
Chozo Ruins: Kill birds
-----------------------
When you enter the Chozo Ruins, aim your gun skywards. You will
see birds flying. Shoot the birds and they will explode, with
feathers all over the place.
Chozo Ruins: Wave Buster
------------------------
The Wave Buster can be found at the Tower Of Light in the Chozo
Ruins. Climb up the as far as you can, then scan the pillars to
learn that they can be destroyed. It takes three missiles to
destroy one pillar. There are four pillars on each level. After
you lower the temple, keep jumping and destroying the pillars
until you reach the top to find the Wave Buster.
Chozo Ruins: Artifacts
----------------------
When Chozo Ghosts appear, it may be for a fight or an artifact.
Sometimes when you visit a certain area, Chozo Ghosts appear
because there is an artifact in the room (for example, Flaaghraa's
fight room). Defeat the Chozo Ghosts by using the X-Ray Visor.
Fight them with either charged Power Beam shots or two Super
Missiles. When they are destroyed, collect the artifact.
Magmoor: Ice Spreader
---------------------
The Ice Spreader is difficult to find. It is in a room called the
Shore Tunnel in Magmoor that has a glass case. Use the Power Bombs
in the glass tube. The tube will shatter, and the Ice Spreader is
directly below.
Magmoor Caverns: Avoid streams of fire
--------------------------------------
Shoot the little objects that shoot out the fire with the Ice
Spreader. This freezes them and prevents them from shooting the
fire.
Phazon Mines: Invisible to enemies
----------------------------------
Enter the Phazon Mines via Magmoor Caverns. Go through the bottom
floor until you reach the elevator, marked on the map with a red
arrow. Head through the mines until you reach the area marked
"Omega Research". Enter through the Dynamo Access, but just jump
straight up through the door, not forward or back. Once you land,
neither move nor shoot. If done correctly, none of the Power
Troopers will see you. Wait awhile, and eventually one of the
Power Troopers will enter the alcove that you are in. He will
look, then around and leave the alcove, never having noticed you.
He will continue to do this until you move or shoot one of them.
For extended laughs, charge your Power Beam (they will still
ignore you), wait for him to start looking around in the alcove,
then fire a Super Missile to blast him across the room. Note: This
will not work if you enter Omega Research from the other
direction.
Phazon Mines: Flamethrower combo
--------------------------------
In the room next to the save point in the Phazon Mines: Main
Quarry, is a red door with a force field in front of it. Continue
upwards in this room, passing the ice and Wave Troopers to find a
Bendezium wall just before the purple door exit. After obtaining
the Power Bomb upgrade, use one to destroy the wall and access the
control panel with your scan visor. The force field will drop.
allowing you to pick up the power-up for the Plasma Beam.
Phazon Mines: Regain health and missiles
----------------------------------------
A good way to regain health and missiles is in the ventilation
shaft towards the beginning of the second floor. When you enter,
poison will start coming in from the ceiling as well as Puffers.
Go past the gas and stand in the hall just before the exit. If you
stand close enough to the door, the poison will not harm you and
you can easily kill the Puffers that keep appearing. When you kill
one, you can use the Charge Beam to bring the power-ups to you.
Phendrana Drifts: Sheegoth helper
---------------------------------
Go to the Quentien cave, where Thardus was located. After you
defeat him, a mother Sheegoth is all that is in there. Lure the
Sheegoth near one of the ledges and kill it quickly (the Plasma
Beam is recommended). Quickly jump onto the Sheegoth's spikes then
jump to the ledge. Do this quickly before the Sheegoth fades. This
saves you the time of doing the entire spider ball thing.
Defeating Baby Sheegoths
------------------------
To defeat a Baby Sheegoth, after it charges at you, shoot its back
shell until it bursts up then shoot its back.
Double jump to the side of a Baby Sheegoth. They will stare at you
for a few seconds. As you are already behind them, just fire two
missiles and kill them after that.
A Charged Plasma Beam will disintegrate a Baby Sheegoth.
Defeating Chozo Ghosts
----------------------
Shoot two Super Missiles to kill Chozo Ghosts. Also, if you have
the X-ray Scope, you can maintain a lock on them.
Defeating Elite Pirates
-----------------------
When the Elite Pirates burst out of containment, switch to your
normal beam and build up a charge shot. When the Elite is not
trying to absorb energy, fire a Super Missile at them. Two Super
Missiles will take them down.
Use the following tactics to defeat the different kinds of Elite
Pirates at the Phazon Mines. This is a very difficult area due to
switching beams for certain pirates:
Power Troopers
Use Normal Beams or charge a Normal Beam at it three to four
times.
Wave Troopers
Use Wave Beams or charge a Wave Beam at it (two to four times).
Ice Troopers
Use Ice Beams or charge an Ice Beam at it and finish it with one
missile.
Shadow Pirates
Use the Thermal Visor to see them. Use Wave Beams or charge a Wave
Beam at it at full force (two to four times); or, fire with ease
with the Plasma Beam.
Plasma Troopers
Fire at them with your Plasma Beam three or four times. Hide
behind a wall and the Plasma Beam will end up finishing them with
its burning effect. Do this to other pirates as well, even though
they only need about three shots to be killed, only about one will
