Super Metroid/Crateria: Difference between revisions

Run to the left corner and wait there.  The chozo's armor begins to crack, and fall away, before it awakens. The statue reveals its true nature as [[../Bosses#Torizo|Torizo]], the miniboss for this section. Begin attacking after it stands up and gets close to you, its stomach will begin glowing so switch to missiles and unload on its weak point (its stomach), switch back and just keep attacking until its stomach explodes (25 shots or 5 missiles).  The chozo will follow a pattern in which it walks forward, stops, continues until it hits you, claws at you, jumps back, fires explosive orbs from its mouth and then repeats (although it might fire arc beams at you if you duck).  Just attack it at all times, avoid the explosive orbs by either getting close, jumping over them from left to right, or wall jump off the left wall.

Eventually the stomach area will explode, you know you're making progress now.  It will begin dripping spit like fluids at all time from it (aesthetic effect), just continue fighting.  Its head will explode after 10 shots (if you can get a missile power up from destroying the orbs, you can waste him with just two missiles), you're getting close, just avoid getting hit.  He no longer can shoot orbs so he will only patrol back and forth trying to claw at you.  If you get close, he'll swipe with his arm, but you can use this to your advantage by running close, moving away then firing so that you have more time.  The best strategy though is to move to one side, fire, when he gets close jump up over his head (preferably a wall jump to avoid damage) and then run to the other side and repeat until dead.  He will explode after four shots (1 missile). This can be known as the mini-boss of Crateria although Crateria doesn't have a boss.
