But cut me some slack, this is my first FAQ. So notify me if you see any room for improvement. Or if you would like to make a cool one for me to post in my walkthrough, send it to me via e-mail ([email protected]) and I will give you credit. ~~~NOTE: By reading this FAQ, you understand that it contains spoilers of the game plot and events; you understand that they may come without warning; and if you still wish to read this, you concede that you don't care. If you read this and a critical event is spoiled for you, I'm sorry, but that's your own fault. I warned you.

Or rather, the planets used to be ruled by the Alimbics. Like the Chozo, the Alimbics vanished in the depths of space. No one knows how or why, but one truth is clear: there is something happening in the Alimbic Cluster. The message reads: "The secret to ultimate power lies in the Alimbic Cluster." The Galactic Federation, for whom Samus works, is of course interested in this power; so since Samus is their best warrior, they contract her to explore the cluster, find the artifacts, and above all, protect them from falling into the wrong hands. The Federation's paranoia is not without base. Looming over her shoulder are the shadows of others who have heard the message... others who are interested in that power for themselves... and Samus may have to fight for her life to get the ultimate power of the Alimbics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Characters [WT.Char] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During Samus' travels to the Alimbic Cluster, she finds out that there are many more than her who search for the ultimate power. Six other bounty hunters will contest with her for the sacred Octoliths. These bounty hunters are each unique, and deadly in their own ways. ~~~NOTE: In multiplayer, each character is capable of wielding any weapon. When it says weapon of choice, that means that character is more proficient with that weapon than any other weapon, and has an advantage with it that no other hunter has. ~~~NOTE: Each Hunter, excluding Samus, Kanden, and Spire can only be unlocked by defeating that Hunter in either Single Player or multiplayer (as in, if you play against another person who has unlocked that Hunter and plays as that Hunter against you). +++++++++++++++++ Name: Samus Aran [Char.SA] Origin: K-2L Samus is the main protagonist of the entire Metroid series. But you probably knew that by now. If not, you either shouldn't be playing or this is your first Metroid game, in which case congratulations, you have introduced yourself to one of the coolest, deadliest, and sexiest game franchises in history. Anyway, Samus is contracted by the Galactic Federation to find the source of the message and the power described in it. She has a well-rounded arsenal of weapons and forms, and she is the only character playable in single player mode, so I hope you like her. Weapon of Choice: Missile Launcher Morph Form: Morph Ball +++++++++++++++++ Name: Trace [Char.TR] Origin: Kriken Empire Trace is a Kriken, a vile race of insectlike beings who want nothing more than to rule the galaxy. When a Kriken reaches a certain age, they are exiled off the planet, until they search the galaxy and find a planet suitable for Kriken invasion, domination, and occupation. Trace is currently on that mission, and he was one of those who received the telepathic message. So he now hunts for the artifacts to gain both political power within the Kriken Empire (after all, if a Kriken gets a life of fortune for finding one planet to invade, think what power lies in wait for the discovery of an entire planetary system) and personal power from the artifacts themselves. Weapon of Choice: Imperialist Morph Form: Triskelion +++++++++++++++++ Name: Noxus [Char.NO] Origin: Vho Noxus is a Vhozon, originating from the icy planet Vho. The Vhozon are a proud and reclusive race who believe in justice and righteousness. Noxus is a zealot and a representative of that race and its values. Noxus' objectives are similar to Samus' in that they both seek to keep the power out of the hands of those who would use it for their own destructive purposes. Weapon of Choice: Judicator Morph Form: Vhoscythe +++++++++++++++++ Name: Weavel [Char.WE] Origin: Unknown Weavel is a former Space Pirate general who was mortally wounded by Samus in one of her many battles. The extent of the damage was so great that only his brain and spinal cord could be preserved. They were surgically removed and placed within an experimental mechanical suit. Weavel now lives as a cyborg bounty hunter, traveling the universe and accomplishing his goals; however, no one is certain whether those goals would serve the Space Pirates or Weavel's own sadistic needs... Weapon of Choice: Battlehammer Morph Form: Halfturret +++++++++++++++++ Name: Spire [Char.SP] Origin: Mondreus Spire is a very strange bounty hunter. He is a Diamont, supposedly the last remaining member. The Diamont were an ancient and powerful race of organisms whose bodies were composed of an organic rock substance. Spire does not know why or how his people disappeared, but he has become a bounty hunter, and seeks the artifacts, in order to determine the fate of his race. One of the cool, although rather unimportant, things about Spire is that he is resistant to lava damage. So choose him if you are fighting on Alinos Gateway or Council Chamber. Weapon of Choice: Magmaul Morph Form: Dialanche +++++++++++++++++ Name: Kanden [Char.KA] Origin: A Sinister Laboratory The ugly big green guy known as Kanden is a supersoldier. A long time ago, a team of scientists made an attempt to build a superwarrior, one that was invulnerable, immortal, superstrong, blah blah blah. Kanden was their test subject. His body reacted perfectly to the treatments... his mind did not. The neural combat encoding sequences completely destroyed his conscience and sanity, which means he broke out of the lab, leaving no survivors, and became the ultimate bounty hunter, killing without remorse. Weapon of Choice: Volt Driver Morph Form: Stinglarva +++++++++++++++++ Name: Sylux [Char.SY] Origin: Cylosis Sylux is the most mysterious of all the bounty hunters. We don't know a whole lot about him. What we do know is that he harbors a deep hatred of the Galactic Federation; and he especially hates their champion, Samus Aran. All of his weapons, his armor, and his Lockjaw are stolen Federation technology. Weapon of Choice: Shock Coil Morph Form: Lockjaw +++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weapons [WT.Weap] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Deathborn 668 for helping me with the damage amounts and being my test dummy. BTW, these damage amounts may not be consistent with what you find in your game because the conditions of the attack may be different. ~~~NOTE: With a Headshot, with the Exception of the Imperialist and the Omega Cannon, the damage done is 150% that of the normal damage. +++++++++++++++++ Name of Weapon: Power Beam [Weap.PW] Weapon Affinity: None Doors it Opens: White Description: Non-Affinity: Regular: Fires a small, weak, but fast shot with quick firing rate. Standard weapon for all hunters. Damage: 6 Charged: More damage. Can suck in powerups in Adventure Mode. Damage: 36 Affinity: Regular: None Charged: None +++++++++++++++++ Name of Weapon: Missile Launcher [Weap.SA] Weapon Affinity: Samus Aran Doors it Opens: White, Brown Description: Non-Affinity: Regular: Fires a ballistic missile at high speed straight forward, exploding on contact.

Damage: 48 Note: All hunters have the Missiles, but only Samus has Affinity to it. +++++++++++++++++ Name of Weapon: Imperialist [Weap.TR] Weapon Affinity: Trace Doors it Opens: White, Red Description: Non-Affinity: Regular: Fires a high-energy laser sniper bullet. Hold R or Select or double-tap the Imperialist icon on the touch screen to activate a long-range sight. Damage: When zoomed in, headshot is an instant kill, normal shot is 72. When zoomed out, headshot is 100, normal shot is 36. Charged: None Affinity: Regular: Fires a high-energy laser sniper bullet. Hold R or Select or double-tap the Imperialist icon on the touch screen to activate a long-range sight. Damage: When zoomed in, headshot is an instant kill, normal shot is 72.

Damage: 24 Charged: Fires a wide but short-ranged blast of ice which flash-freezes any enemy hunter in the vicinity. Damage: 12 +++++++++++++++++ Name of Weapon: Battlehammer [Weap.WE] Weapon Affinity: Weavel Doors it Opens: White, Green Description: Non-Affinity: Regular: Fires a tiny but heavy nuclear bomb. Since the nuclear projectile is so heavy, the trajectory curves like a mortar. Damage: 12 Charged: None Affinity: Regular: Fires a tiny but heavy nuclear bomb. Since the nuclear projectile is so heavy, the trajectory curves like a mortar. Damage: 18 Charged: None Note: When Weavel wields this weapon, the explosion is larger and can knock enemies away. +++++++++++++++++ Name of Weapon: Magmaul [Weap.SP] Weapon Affinity: Spire Doors it Opens: White, Orange Description: Non-Affinity: Regular: Fires a grenade-like sphere of fire which bounces on the floor. Damage: 32 Charged: Larger explosion, more damage. Damage: 56 Affinity: Regular: Fires a grenade-like sphere of fire which bounces on the floor. Damage: 32 Charged: Larger explosion, more damage. Ignites enemies. Damage: 49 + 3 damage per second over 6 seconds +++++++++++++++++ Name of Weapon: Volt Driver [Weap.KA] Weapon Affinity: Kanden Doors it Opens: White, Yellow Description: Non-Affinity: Regular: Fires a really fast electric shot. Damage: 14 Charged: Slower-moving, larger shot that can distort vision. Explosion can hit multiple enemies. Damage: 56 Affinity: Regular: Fires a really fast electric shot. Damage: 14 Charged: Slower-moving, larger shot that can distort vision and has homing ability. Explosion can hit multiple enemies. Damage: 56 +++++++++++++++++ Name of Weapon: Shock Coil [Weap.SY] Weapon Affinity: Sylux Doors it Opens: White, Blue (even though there are no blue doors) Description: Non-Affinity: Regular: Fires an electrical blast of energy which does continuous damage while in use. Damage: Depends on how long you stay aimed at your target without missing. The longer you are locked on, the more energy is drained per second. Charged: None Affinity: Regular: Fires an electrical blast of energy which does continuous damage while in use. Drains energy from target.

Damage: Infinite (in Multiplayer Mode) 1/14 of Gorea's energy (in Adventure Mode) Charged: None Affinity: Regular: None Charged: None +++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alt Forms [WT.Alt] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Again, thanks to Deathborn 668 for helping me with the damage. +++++++++++++++++ Name of Alt: Morph Ball [Alt.SA] Description: Classic Metroid item. The very first one Samus ever got, actually. Roll into a compact metal ball and roll under low ceilings and other passageways, as well as lay bombs and gain a quick and short boost of speed. Samus' bombs can also jump her into the air. Attack: Morph Ball Bombs Damage: 16 Special: Boost Ball (charge with R or swipe stylus across Touch Screen) Boost Damage: 20 Movement: Free (Can go any direction at will, camera angle changes automatically) +++++++++++++++++ Name of Alt: Triskelion [Alt.TR] Description: This is Trace's Kriken answer to the Morph Ball. Trace morphs into a small, spiderlike red device called a Triskelion. No idea why it's called that, considering what a triskelion is, but the Triskelion has the ability to cover ground rapidly, jump at enemies to damage them, and is almost completely invisible. Attack: Jump Strike Damage: 50 Special: Stand still, wait a few seconds, and the Triskelion becomes invisible. Movement: Linear (Can only change direction and camera angle with the stylus) +++++++++++++++++ Name of Alt: Vhoscythe [Alt.NO] Description: This is Noxus' version of the Morph Ball. Noxus curls up and becomes a spinning top. The cold atmosphere of Vhozon required that the Vho find a way to stay warm, so as not to freeze to death. Thus, the Vhoscythe is designed both to keep the Vho using it warm and to damage enemies who get too close. Noxus attacks by swinging a blade around when an enemy gets close. Think Beyblade and you'll get the picture. Attack: Spin Attack (Has a slow response time, takes about a second to use) Damage: 42 Special: None Movement: Free +++++++++++++++++ Name of Alt: Halfturret [Alt.WE] Description: This is a strange variation on the Morph Ball. Weavel's top half physically separates from his lower half. His top half can "run" around on its arms and attack enemies using the energy blade on his arm, while his bottom half remains stationary and becomes a turret which can shoot at enemies in the immediate area. Another hitch is that when the turret is initially created, it takes half of your current energy for itself. Any health you pick up is shared with the turret's energy supply. Likewise, any damage the turret incurs is shared with your top half's energy. Any damage your top half takes, it takes in full. If you return to biped form, any energy the turret still has is returned to your supply. If the turret is destroyed, you can still return to biped form. Attack: Halfturret Slice Damage: 36 Special: Turret can attack separately from the body. Turret Attack Damage: 12 per shot Movement: Linear +++++++++++++++++ Name of Alt: Dialanche [Alt.SP] Description: Spire's variation on the Morph Ball is a stone ball with orange crystal spikes sticking out of its glowing interior. These spikes allow Spire to climb up walls. Spire's attack in Dialanche form is his rocky outer shell detaching to form two rocks which spin in circles around him, exposing his magma-like core. Anyone caught in the radius of the rocks takes damage. Attack: Fire Blade Damage: anywhere from 8 to 64 Special: Dialanche can slowly travel up walls. Movement: Free +++++++++++++++++ Name of Alt: Stinglarva [Alt.KA] Description: Kanden's take on the Morph Ball is the weirdest of them all. He turns into a bug. In his Stinglarva form, Kanden can shoot off the end of his tail, which will home in on nearby targets and detonate. If there aren't any, it will wait around for a few seconds for one to come along or it will detonate anyway. The explosion of the larva bombs can also jump the Stinglarva into the air. Attack: Larva Bomb Damage: 20 Special: None Movement: Free +++++++++++++++++ Name of Alt: Lockjaw [Alt.SY] Description: Sylux's Alt form isn't as weird as Kanden's, but it has the weirdest shape. It's actually a top secret Galactic Federation hovercraft prototype, which Sylux stole. Sylux attacks with the Lockjaw by dropping electrically charged mines on the ground. The first two mines placed, as long as they are within proximity of each other, will create an electric tripwire between them, which will shock anyone who walks over it. If they are not close to each other, they will immediately detonate. Anyway, as soon as a third one is placed, all three (assuming, again, that they are close to each other) create a big electric triangle, which immediately collapses inward if anyone is caught inside. If someone is, he or she gets major damage. The explosion of the bombs can also jump Sylux into the air. The electric bombs will explode after a period of about 25 seconds, even if there is nothing around to trigger them. Attack: Electric Bombs Damage: 10 for a single bomb. 40 for tripping over a tripwire. 180 for being shocked inside a triangle. Special: None Movement: Free/Linear (Doesn't require a direction change with the stylus, but the camera won't automatically change its angle) +++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Controls/HUD [WT.Ctrl] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========= Controls: ========= ~~~Stylus Mode~~~ (Right Hand) D-Pad = Move forward, back, and side to side while facing the same direction L-Button = Fire, hold to charge your gun/Morph Ball Bombs R-Button = Boost Ball X-Y-A-B Buttons = Jump Touch Screen = Move stylus around to aim gun/Swipe quickly to boost/Change weapons/Change visors/Alt form/Double tap to jump ~~~Stylus Mode~~~ (Left Hand) D-Pad = Jump L-Button = Boost Ball R-Button = Fire, hold to charge your gun/Morph Ball Bombs X-Y-A-B Buttons = Move forward, back, and side to side while facing the same direction Touch Screen = Move stylus around to aim gun/Swipe quickly to boost/Change weapons/Change visors/Alt form/Double tap to jump ~~~Dual Mode~~~ (Right Hand) D-Pad = Move forward, back, and side to side while facing the same direction L-Button = Fire, hold to charge your gun/Morph Ball Bombs R-Button = Jump/Boost Ball X-Y-A-B Buttons = Aim gun Touch Screen = Change weapons/Change visors/Alt form/Double tap to jump ~~~Dual Mode~~~ (Left Hand) D-Pad = Jump L-Button = Jump/Boost Ball R-Button = Fire, hold to charge your gun/Morph Ball Bombs X-Y-A-B Buttons = Move forward, back, and side to side while facing the same direction Touch Screen = Change weapons/Change visors/Alt form/Double tap to jump ==== HUD: ==== The HUD is very similar to the Metroid Prime HUD, but obviously a lot of the icons and stuff have gone to the bottom screen. So, I now attempt to draw an ASCII graphic of Samus' Single Player HUD. Avert thine eyes. ~~~NOTE: I use @ where small circles are meant to be.

In Adventure Mode, Samus will embark on her quest to save the galaxy and investigate the mysterious message transmitted from the Alimbic cluster. Start by selecting "Adventure Mode" from the Main Menu. Choose to start a new game by selecting one of the empty slots. The introduction will begin: ---Mission File 79109--- "The secret to ultimate power lies in the Alimbic Cluster." ---Data Confirmation--- This repeating neural thread, originating from an uncharted region of the Tetra Galaxy known as the Alimbic Cluster, was recently intercepted and translated by Federation empaths. ---Rogue Contract--- 1. Discover the meaning behind this mysterious telepathic message. 2. If the "ultimate power" can be secured, ensure Federation control. 3. If the power cannot be secured, ensure that it remains secret or destroy it. ---Potential Complications--- This operation must remain covert. The Tetra Galaxy is outside of Federation- controlled space, and the Alimbic Cluster is a wild and uncharted region. While we have kept our communications classified, we know other entities have intercepted the thread. The lure of ultimate power will be irresistible to many. Disposition of rival interests is presumed hostile. Uploading known coordinates... Your first destination will be the abandoned space station called the Celestial Archives. Since it is the only destination on your map, land your ship there. ============================= Celestial Archives [Game.CA1] ============================= >>Celestial Gateway>Helm Room>Meditation Room>Data Shrine 01>Fan Room Alpha>Data Shrine 02>Fan Room Beta>Data Shrine 03>Synergy Core>Stronghold Void>Synergy Core>Data Shrine 03>Fan Room Beta>Data Shrine 02>Fan Room Alpha>Data Shrine 01>Meditation Room>Helm Room>Alinos Gateway>Echo Hall>High Ground>Elder Passage>High Ground>Elder Passage>Stronghold Void>Elder Passage>High Ground>Echo Hall>Alinos Gateway>VDO Gateway>Bioweaponry Lab>Weapons Complex>Cortex CPU>Compression Chamber>Cortex CPU>Compression Chamber>Cortex CPU>Weapons Complex>Cortex CPU>Compression Chamber>Stronghold Void>Compression Chamber>Cortex CPU>Weapons Complex>Bioweaponry Lab>VDO Gateway>Arcterra Gateway>Sic Transit>Ice Hive>Sic Transit>Frost Labyrinth>Sic Transit>Ice Hive>Stronghold Void>Ice Hive>Sic Transit>Arcterra Gateway>Celestial Gateway>Synergy Core>Data Shrine 03>Fan Room Beta>Data Shrine 02>Fan Room Beta>Data Shrine 03>Synergy Core>Transfer Lock>Docking Bay>Incubation Vault 02>Incubation Vault 03>Incubation Vault 02>Incubation Vault 01>Incubation Vault 02>Incubation Vault 03>Tetra Vista Just kidding.
