Metroid Prime/Morph Ball

With the Missile Launcher back it is time to use it on a Blast Shield and get back the Morph Ball.

Go home
You need to return to the Chozo Main Plaza, but there are a few things to pick up on the way.

Return to the Ruined Gallery (Path: Hive Totem, Totem Access, Ruined Gallery), clear the room of distractions, and stand next to the door to the North Atrium. If you turn around you will see a brinstone wall directly beneath the opposite shelf. Blast it with a missile to reveal a Missile Expansion. You're welcome! Turn around again, and under the opposite shelf is a door with a Blast Shield. Map Station. Don't mention it.

Proceed to the Main Plaza.

Path: North Atrium, Ruined Nursery, Save Station 1, Ruined Nursery, Eyon Tunnel, Nursery Access, Main Plaza.

Main Plaza
Once here, go through the Blast Shield protected door and continue on until you reach Ruined Shrine.

Boss Battle
Here a battle begins. This is more of a mini boss battle. As you apprach the Morph Ball in the centre of the room, a wall will block it off. Many Beetles will jump out of the ground. It is best here to lock onto one Beetle and circle oround the edge of the room. Quickly kill this Beetle then lock onto another one - all the while circling.

Once all the Beetles are defeated a Plated Beatle will appear. This is not a one time only scan as the Plate Beetle appears later. The Plated Beatle will stand a few yards in front of you then strife left and right, then wiggles its rear end, then charges at you. When it wiggles its rear end lock on and dash out of the way. Stay locked onto it and fire a missile at the red spot.

Eventually, it will be defeated releasing the Morph Ball. Collect it and return to Ruined Nursery to save.
