Metroid Prime Hunters/Return to Celestial Archives

Celestial Gateway
Once you exit your ship jump down off of the platform and roll into Morph Ball and roll underneath the platform. Underneath, there is a Green Force Field. Blast the force field and jump down. Down in the small room, search around behind the pillars and you will find the first of 4 UA Expansions on this trip to Celestial Archives. With that done, use the jump pad to get back up and roll out from under the platform. Your next destination is Data Shrine 02 and there are two ways to get there. You can either go the long way and walk all of the way there, or you can take the shorter route and take the portal to the Synergy Core and backtrack.

Data Shrine 02
Scans: When you reach Data Shrine 02, use your Battlehammer to open one of the doors locked with a Green Blast Shield. Inside there will either be a pair of Guardians, or a fellow bounty hunter waiting for you. Clear the room then grab the UA Expansion, from atop the central pillar. From atop the central pillar jump across to the vision barriered Morph Ball tunnel between the blue crystals. Inside you will find the Volt Driver.

Scan the Alimbic Prophecy above the door across from the jump pad, then step through the door. Inside you will find a portal the will take you to Transfer Lock.

Transfer Lock
Scans: Drop down to the lower area of transfer lock and search around to find a UA Expansion guarded by a Voldrum generator. Take out the generator, then the Voldrums and grab the UA Expansion. Once your done with that, use the jump pad to return to the upper level.

Scans: Step through the vision barrier, into the main area of Transfer Lock. As you enter the room, it seems to be deserted, but as you make your way farther across the bridge, generators will appear and begin to spit out Psycho Bits and Voldrums. You can simply destroy the generators from the bridge. As you are destroying the generators a group of Guardians will come on the scene. Once your done with dealing with all of the enemies here, head to the rear of the large room. There you will find three generators that spawn a new kind of Psycho Bit. The Psycho Bit v2.0 fire charged Volt Driver projectiles, So be careful that they don't scramble your vision. As you take each generator out, the force field covering the trench will dissipate. Once you destroy all three jump down and shoot each of switches. Shooting each of these switches will lower force fields guarding three more switches towards the front of the room. Shoot those switches will lower the force field protecting the inside if the structure that is atop the pyramid, head inside and scan the computer to activate another portal in the docking area. You will find the freshly activated portal on the uppermost level of the docking area. This portal will take you to the vast docking area.

Tetra Vista
Scans: This can easily be one of the most treacherous areas in the game. One wrong step and you fall to your death. An easy way to get across is to walk on the ledge against walls whenever possible, but near the end of each ledge you will begin to slip. Once you make it safely to the opposite side, enter the door to New Arrival Registration.
 * Object: Shield Generator
 * Object: Gravity Stabilizer

New Arrival Registration
Scans: Scan the Quadtroid and start blasting it with everything you have. These things can latch onto your head and drain your health so be careful. If one manages to latch onto your head, roll into Morph Ball and drop a Morph Ball Bomb to shake it off. Destroy all three in this area and go through the door at the opposite end. You come out into a tower area with elevators moving up and down. Go around the ledge and activate the portal. Take the portal to your ship to save and heal. Back at New Arrival Registration destroy the Psycho Bits and ride the elevators to the top. Go through the short tunnel to the next tower area. Drop down onto the elevator closest to you and jump onto the stationary platform. From there, jump into the alcove that hold the artifact shield. Scan all of the Gorea lores in this room to reveal the Shield Key, grab it to unactivate the artifact shield. Grab the Binary Subscripture Artifact and make your way out. But as you attempt to leave you will be ambushed a Greater Irthak, scan it, then obliterate by charge shots at its tail. Go to the entrance and drop down onto the ledge and walk around it to the tunnel. You will come out into the third tower. There is an Energy Tank waiting for you to the right in plain sight. You can either make your way around to the left or take a chance and jump to the small ledge from the right. After you grab the Energy Tank ride the elevators to the top of the tower. Jump over the door. Open the door and enter the Stronghold Portal.

Stronghold Void
Scans:

Boss: Slench 3A
Pretty much the same as before, this time, the Slench is only vulnerable to your Battlehammer. Use the same strategy as before, except this time, watch out for a new attack. The Slench detaches from the wall and directly pounds you. To dodge this, roll into Morph Ball and roll out of the way as fast as you can.
