Metroid Prime: Hunters - Strategy Guide (Page 05)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Metroid Prime: Hunters - Strategy Guide (Page 05).

There may be a Hunter waiting here for you.  Go left from the portal,
down the ramps to the first floor and out the door to the Weapons 
Complex.

-----------------
Weapons Complex*

Go straight into the next room, then take a right through the doorway.
Go left and through the door at the end of the hall to the Bioweaponry
Lab.

----------------
Bioweaponry Lab

Go through the opposite door to VDO Gateway.

------------
VDO Gateway

Jump in your Gunship and Launch Ship to leave Vesper Defense Outpost.
For good.

--------------------
The Alimbic Cluster

If any of your rival Hunters have stolen one of your Octoliths, and you
are yet to reclaim it, then now is the time to get them back.  Use the
Alimbic Cluster map to locate where the Hunters are.  If they have an
Octolith, then it will appear on their portrait.  Once you have all eight
Octoliths in your possession, then head for Alinos for the third and
final time.

     [0329] Part 9:  Alinos Again and Oubliette
     ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
---------------
Alinos Gateway

Take the portal to Elder Passage (upper).

----------------------
Elder Passage (upper)

Leave through the door to the left to High Ground.

-------------
High Ground*

There may be a Hunter here, or at the very least some Guardians.  If
the Hunter steals an Octolith, then you'll have to go track him down.
You can't finish your business on Alinos without all eight Octoliths.
Go through the door with the pair of blue crystals near the empty 
Artifact Shield.  This is the same door I directed you to pass entirely
on your second visit to Alinos.

-------------
Combat Hall*
New Scans:  Sniper Shield (object), Blast Shield (object), 
     Combat Hall (lore), Alimbic Pride 05 (lore)

Kill the Guardians and/or Hunter who appear in this room.  Scan to the
left of the door from High Ground for the Alimbic Pride 05 lore, then
drop down to the lower level.  Scan the bunker on the first floor for
the Blast Shield, then the bunker on the second floor, opposite side of
the room, for the Sniper Shield object.  Scan in the tunnel before the
door near the Sniper Shield for the Combat Hall lore.  Head into the
door near the Combat Hall lore.

----------------------------
Alimbic Cannon Control Room
New Scans:  Alimbic Cannon 01-04

Step through the vision barrier and scan each of the four pillars for
Alimbic Cannon 01 through 04 lore.  Step into the ring in the middle.
If you have all eight Octoliths, then the Alimbic Cannon will fire.  The
prison ship Oubliette will appear.  Return to Combat Hall.

-------------
Combat Hall*

On your way back to your ship there will be no time limit, but you can
bet you'll be dogged by Guardians and Hunters in every room on the way
back.  Defeat the Guardians and/or Hunter in Combat Hall then return to
High Ground.

-------------
High Ground*

Defeat the Guardians and/or Hunter, then drop to the tunnels below.  Use
the Jump Pad down here to launch to the top floor of High Ground.  Go
through the silver door to Elder Passage (upper).

---------------------
Elder Passage (upper)

Take the portal to Alinos Gateway.

---------------
Alinos Gateway

Jump into your Gunship, save and Launch Ship to leave Alinos.  
Permanently.

--------------------
The Alimbic Cluster

Oubliette will appear in the center of the Cluster.  Set a course there.

----------
Oubliette
New Scans:  Sealing Gorea 01 (lore), Sealing Gorea 02 (lore),
     Sealing Gorea 03 (lore), Sealing Gorea 04 (lore), 
     Sealing Gorea 05 (lore), Gorea (bioform), Gorea (bioform),
     Gorea Arm (bioform), Gorea 2 (bioform), Gorea Seal Sphere (bioform),
     Trocra (bioform)
New Items:  Energy Tank, Omega Cannon

Go through the doors  in front of the Gunship and ride the elevator up.
At the top, spin around and enter the portal.  Scan for Sealing Gorea 01
through 05 lores in this room.  Go through the door.  To the right of
the door is a tunnel.  Roll through it to the end.  Jump over to the
glowing platform and enter the portal.  Grab the Energy Tank in this 
room, then return through the portal.  Drop down to the ground level
and go down the hall.  Open the Stronghold Door and jump into the ring
to be transported to Gorea.

     ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
     Begin Boss:  Gorea
     ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Scan Gorea and one of his arms, then quickly run to the perimeter of the
room, on the other side of the yellow moat.  Gorea is unable to pass
this line, but he can still shoot projectiles at you.  Scan one of the
blue floating objects for the Trocra bioform.

Around the perimeter of the room are a number of colored plates.  Shoot
them in this order with these weapons:
     Yellow:  Volt Driver
     Green:   Battlehammer
     Orange:  Magmaul
     Blue:    Shock Coil (you may have to jump to shoot the panel)
     Purple:  Judicator
     Red:     Imperialist
Once this is done, you will receive a message.  Keep the Imperialist
out.  We'll be using it for the remainder of the fight.  Run around the
perimeter of the arena in a big circle, dodging Gorea's shots and
shooting the Trocras with the Power Beam for Energy and UA.  When Gorea
turns red, now is the time to strike.  Zoom in on him with the 
Imperialist and shoot both of his shoulders to destroy them in one hit.
You can try using other weapons on his other colors, but it's very
difficult.  The Imperialist is not only easiest, it's actually safest
and in most cases fastest.

Reader Tip:  The Shock Coil is also an effective weapon to destroy 
Gorea's shoulders.  Gorea is vulnerable to the Shock Coil while he is 
colored blue, the phase immediately before he uses the Imperialist. 
- Dark Crono

Gorea will change forms.  Scan him again for the Gorea bioform scan
(there are two Gorea bioform scans, with identical names but different
logbook entries).  Scan the yellow eye at the top of his body for the 
Gorea Soul Sphere bioform as well.

Remaining outside the moat, out of the range of Gorea's attacks, shoot
the yellow eye repeatedly with the weapon which matches the weapon you
destroyed his shoulders with (i.e. if you used the Shock Coil to destroy
his shoulders, use the Shock Coil on his seal sphere, Imperialist to
destroy his shoulders, Imperialist on the seal sphere, etc.)  After a 
while, Gorea will return to his original form.  Repeat the process until 
he dies.

Reader Tip:
"When gorea turns green, shoot him with the battlehammer
When gorea turns yellow, shoot him with the volt driver
When gorea turns orange, shoot him with the magmaul
When gorea turns red, shoot him with the imperialist
When gorea turns blue, shoot him with the shock coil
When gorea turns purple, shoot him with the Judicator."
- Ben Ritz

     End Boss:  Gorea
     ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

If you shot the colored plates in the order I specified, then you will
be transported to a new battlefield.  Otherwise, the game will end
prematurely and you will see the "bad ending."

     ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
     Begin Boss:  Gorea 2
     ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Scan Gorea 2, then drop to the bottom of the area.  Take the Omega
Cannon from the Artifact Shield and use the radar to locate Gorea 2.  He
spends most of the fight teleporting randomly around the battlefield,
hurling large boulders at you and occasionally using a very powerful
laser attack.  His attacks deal a great deal of damage, and his random
teleporting around the battlefield makes it difficult to dodge every
attack that comes your way.  The key to beating Gorea 2 is to locate him
quickly after he teleports, and be very accurate with the Omega Cannon,
which has a long cooldown.  Gorea 2 returns often to the top of the
arena.  If you can't find him, chances are he's loitering up there.
     ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
     End Boss:  Gorea 2
     ~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

Defeating Gorea 2 will give you the "good ending" and will unlock the
Oubliette arena for use in Multiplayer.  If you followed this walkthrough
to the letter, then you should have all the Items and Scans.  A special
emblem on your Hunter's License is your sole reward.  If this is your
first run through the game, then you will also unlock the Sound Test,
the Records Page and all of CG clips on the Movies Page except for two.  
Defeat Gorea 1 again without shooting the colored panels to get the last 
two movies and fill out the Movies Page.

Author's Note:  All scans appear in the order they do apppear in the 
game's logbook.  To locate a missing scan, then simply find it's location 
in the in-game logbook and compare it to this list to find it's location.
To view your logbook in-game, enter the Hunter Gunship and touch the
Logbook button on the touchscreen.

A Note on Oubliette and Stronghold Void:  Both of these locations
are unmappable, so only their planet locations are listed and not
their specific rooms.  But since these areas are so small, it shouldn't
be a problem to find the scans therein.

A Note on Organization:  The first line shows the Log's name, the
second shows it's specific location, and the third line on transcribes
the Log's entry.

plan was to create the Seal Sphere.

To contain Gorea, our people reduced themselves to pure telepathic
energy through the process of Essence Transference.

Alinos, Alimbic Gardens

Gorea is power beyond reckoning and evil unrelenting.  The universe

At first we thought Gorea was a comet.  It crashed upon our planet
and emerged as a vapor.

Arcterra, Sanctorus

Gorea mimicked our cellular structure and replicated itself in
solid form.

---------

enemies.  A renewed sense of peace allowed us to return to our

The monster cannot be defeated.  As a last resort, we created the
Seal Sphere to cage the horror for all eternity.
