Revision as of 14:57, 25 November 2016
Select controller:By now the hint system should be pointing you to an unexplored section of the Chozo Ruins; this is the location of the next equipment upgrade.
Chozo Ruins
Main Plaza
You may notice that Beetles now appear near the Nursery Access door and there are War Wasps near the bridge. In general, new enemies appear and occasionally disappear from certain areas when you get equipment upgrades.
Find the Missile Lock Door that was on the left when you first entered from the Ruins Entrance. (If you're coming from Nursery Access then go right, down the ledges, and it's the door on the right.) Fire a missile to blast it open and go in.
Ruined Shrine Access
There are two groups of Scarabs are in this room, clear them as in Nursery Access.
Ruined Shrine
This room is divided into two sections by a wall. There are ledges you can use to climb over the wall on one side, but once you drop into the far section there is no going back until you get the Morph Ball visible on the far side of this room. The upgrade is guarded of course so when you approach a battle begins.
First you'll be attacked by a swarm of Beetles. There are a large number of them and you're fighting in close quarters, so don't be afraid to use missiles if there are several Beetles grouped together, but keep some in reserve since the battle is just getting started.
After you slay the swarm, you'll be attacked by a Plated Beetle. This creature behaves like a normal Beetle, however it is invulnerable to frontal attack and it always turns to face you. You need to wait for it to charge, then dodge out of the way toreador style and fire at its red abdomen before it can face you again. It dances around a bit as it works itself up for a charge, and you can soon learn the pattern to predict when you need to dodge. Missiles do the most damage but you can defeat it with your Power Beam if you run out.
Advanced strategy (WII): You'll be able to kill this Plated Beetle immediately after it rams by rapidly firing Missiles (
followed by 
). If done at close range, all the Missiles it takes to defeat the Plated Beetle will make contact before it turns around for another run.
