Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

[Mr.GAW]

Ugh, I think I missed something.

First Planet spoilers

Spoiler

At the beggining of the game, when doing the morphball maze before activating the third generator and fighting meta ridely, towards the end of the maze, you could bounce up and go straight up, or go to the right while your boosted up to another passage.

I figured there might have been an energy tank that way, so I went there, but that's the way that got me fighting Ridley. Now the thing is locked, and I can't get back in the maze.

Did I miss an energy tank or missle expansion when I didn't go straight up and took a right first?

Also, I forgot to scan Ridley, will there be another chance for that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time.

 

[Volrec]

GAW did you add me yet I want to see those medal things.

 

[Stryks]

Dear GOD I need this game, I have to wait for tomorrow, IVE BEEN WAITING SINCE NOV. 19 I CANT TAKE IT!!

Metroid FTW! XD

 

[Mr.GAW]

GAW did you add me yet I want to see those medal things.

I added you, AND I sent you a friend voucher.

I think you need to go to the Wiiconnect24 setting in MP3 in the extras section. I think it starts on an option that DOESN'T allow you to send the vouchers.

 

[Volrec]

Wait so I need MP3 too?

lmao whoops

 

[Mr.GAW]

*Sighs*

Silly Volrec.

 

[Red_Maniac]

No online =`gay.

-__-

Isn't Metroid supposed to be a single player adventure?

 

[Stryks]

Tell that to hunters, the game could have had multiplayer too...

 

[petre]

well, i wont be playing strikers for awhile...

Spoiler

i just got the grapple swing beam. too much fun.

EDIT: wait, when i go into friend roster, it says i have no friends...yet i dont see an option to add friends anywhere. is it just through the wii console? does this mean the end of game-specific friend codes??? ...anyway, GAW, ill add you, and you should add me.

and lol in the bonus gallery, one of the things to purchase is 'mii bobblehead'...i wonder if thats just for the little head next to your file?

There will be chances in the future, dont worry.

Will do.

And the bobblehead is actually a bobblehead. It goes in your ship, and it's of your Mii.

 

[Chill]

i have no clue. It's late and i'm tired. I'm going to bed now. I just meant there's lots of idiots out there. WHo give crappy reviews .

blarg

Heh, it's just the way you wrote it made it seem the the smart person was the reviewer. And everyone who hated the review was an idiot. Get more sleep.

If a major gaming website said that what you liked sucked would it take the fun away from the game? no.Would it influence some peoples decision to buy the game? Yes (But only a few).Would it show that the website is run by Gypsy lee? Yes it may well do...

I doubt the power of reviewers to sway many people's desire to buy a game but that's a whole 'nother subject. It's not like 8.5 is a bad score.

I didn't buy Metroid yet becasuase I forgot about it. >_> I'm going to pick it up tonight.

 

[Ridley22]

I got it and the guide today also. And sorry there won't be another chance to scan Mecha-Ridley. I'm only at the part with the PED suit.

 

[NintendoWarrior]

Can you guys add me and vice versa?

 

[Mr.GAW]

Will do, Nintendo Warrior.

 

[Aryman]

stuck...

Ahh I'm already stuck. Some help please?

Spoiler

I'm on the first planet, I'm at the part just past the room with the big golem lying on the ground, where you fight those two 4-armed freaky things. There's a big chasm and what looks like a grappling hook point, but I don't have that upgrade yet? I can do the grappling but not to swing yet. There doesn't seem to be anything in the golem room... do I have to go even further back than that?

 

[Wuss]

First boss help. lol...
how do you get his attacks to hit himself, lol...

 

[Mr.GAW]

^^^ I'm stuck at the exact same point.

Game ending canon-room glitch? Eh. We'll see.

Anyways, Petre's FC is invalid.

 

[Aryman]

First boss help. lol...
how do you get his attacks to hit himself, lol...

Shoot the black orbs he sends at you. They'll fly back at him. First you gotta shoot the glowing points though (shoulders and mouth). After that shoot the head.

 

[Gonzales]

Got this game today, and I've already logged ~7 hours into it. Incredible game. I've been on

Spoiler

Elysia

for about 1.5 hours...

Help for those that are stuck:

Spoiler

I was stuck here for a while, too. Look around in the room after the one with the Golem (The room with the grapple point). There is a cracked rock that you can blow up to reveal a morph ball passage.

how do you get his attacks to hit himself, lol...

Spoiler

Just shoot the things that he fires at you, and they'll bounce right back at him.

Edit: Blah, Aryman beat me to it. =P

 

[Aryman]

thanks for the help Gonzales. I'll have to try it tomorrow, I played the game for about 3-4 hours and i got pretty bad motion-sickness. I love FPS games but they tend to have that effect on me after a while. (zomg goldeneye >.<)

 

[Sir James]

So I finally got to a point in the game where I was so frustrated I had to take a break (I'm on the first planet for those that haven't finished yet)....any tips are appreciated :

Spoiler

I'm at the Western Shield Generator on the first planet. I am currently trying to take out the 2nd anti-aircraft gun. I'm trying to unlock its bottomside via the 3 hooks, but there's an infinite spawn of those flying creatures and they keep setting the locks back to their original setting! Sometimes I get 2 unlocked, but then one of them unlocks the other! It gets so frustrating. I tried sniping out one when he was in the middle of setting it back, but then the big gun blocks my view.

Well basically you just gotta keep shooting them. Missiles help a lot, and you should have plenty by now. The way I did it was this:

Spoiler

There will only ever be two flying pirates, so you unload two missiles into each before you touch any of the switches. Then, you activate the first and immediately go to the second. While you are turning to activate the second, check the first switch. If the space pirate is near it, fire a missile to kill him or them. Then pull the switch. Repeat for the third, though only shoot at the pirates if they are in the process of yanking down the switch there. You only have to have all three activated at one time, afterwards the switches dont matter.

Well now Ive been playing for a good seven hours straight, and my wrists are hurting, so I had to take a break. Im curious how Im doin comparitively though, so heres where I am:

Spoiler

Im technically on elysia, after the aurora told me to make a nuke, but I have to go back to bryos to get screw ball now.

 

[NintendoWarrior]

I'll add you Mr. GAW. Man the Ridley fight was hot!

Spoiler

lol, i had 0 problems in that room. in fact, when i flipped the third lever, i got a green bonus card thing and it said 'perfect run' or something like that. i was pretty suprised, cause thats the first time ive seen it.

im not exactly understanding this whole hypermode system...i thought i remembered reading a long time ago that every time you use it you got closer to permanent corruption, but i see no evidence of that. all i know is you drain an energy tank if you deplete the phazon bar (if you enter hypermode on accident and exit right away, you dont lose any energy...). randomly when i was walking around right before finishing byyna or whatever its called, it suddenly popped up that i was corrupted, and i had to drain the meter. it was funny cause i hadnt used hypermode in awhile before that. then about 10 seconds later the same thing happened again. i was like 'wtf??'. it hasnt happened since then.

maybe youre supposed to use it every so often, to drain the phazon out of your body. im gonna start using it alot and see if anything bad happens besides losing energy...

haha, i just double checked my wii number, and i switched two numbers around. i wonder how many people ive told to just look at that...

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Just got the game today, it's kick ***!!!

I just got the

Spoiler

PED Suit

.

This game was totally worth the delays.

 

[The Bino]

[lonewolfe]

No spoilers ahead:

Just a question about extras and scanning, how do you get the green metroid prime symbols? by scanning bosses?

if so I suck, because I missed my opportunity so many times already....

 

[Ronike]

You get them with friend vouchers I think.. its thru internet.

On thjat note, Ive got 12 of 'em, so Ill trade cause Id like to get some too.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

Anyone remember the Metroid Dread project for DS? Check out this verbatim scan from with MP3.

"Experiment status report update: Metroid project 'Dread' is nearing the final stages of completion."

Either they're serious or making fun of us hopefulls.

 

[Darkurai]

How do I power up the gunship's weapons? I'm still stuck on the first visit to Bryonn (SP?) because I can't blow down that ****ed door.

Spoiler

you can actually collect missile expansions for the ship...but you shouldnt need them on the first planet at all, except maybe for the very end...

and you get the green bonus things by

Spoiler

killing lots of enemies. for every 100 you kill, you get a voucher, and when you trade that with someone, you get a point. ive also gotten one by finising a room's puzzle really fast, it said 'perfect completion' or something...

 

[Legolastom]

Hey guys im just curious what other hunters out of the 4 (SA Rundus ghost lady and Ghor) are in the game? because apparently one from Hunters is getting in... im just curious cant find anything about which one it is.

The last boss is by the way

Phazon - Pikachu!!

ZOMG who would have thought hey?

There is?

Hmm... I do remember the IGN video review saying that the "hunters from the DS game" are there...

 

[petre]

Spoiler

you want to go to the firey landing pad, and finish everything there before going to the other one. thats how i did it, but i dont remember specifically what you do first there...

oh yeah, i just got the

Spoiler

plasma beam!!! im kinda dissapointed that they didnt keep the old prime formats for beams, but whatever. this is fun too. i wonder if theres a beam that shoots through walls later on...lol jk.

Anyone think they can help me? never mind, got it!
