Phazon Mines[edit]
Now it's time to face the Phazon Mines boss and collect the last upgrade in the game.
Metroid Quarantine B[edit]
If you're returning here or restoring from a save, Metroids will break out the canisters here. Also, with no Troopers to keep them at bay, Metroids will occupy the part of the room near Quarantine Access B. In addition, the room goes almost completely dark so you'll need to switch to Thermal or X-Ray to find your way. There is a stack of boxes here to top off your supplies.
Go up the ramp near the save station to the exit on the upper level.
Elite Quarters Access[edit]
A Plasma Trooper pops out as you enter the main part of the room. Defeat it quickly before you take too much damage.
There is a barrier in front of the exit here, and the controls are frozen in an ice-like substance. As you would expect, the Plasma Beam clears the way.
Elite Quarters[edit]
Step into the room to see the Omega Pirate in its cryogenic canister. Get a scan before coming too close because you'll be pretty busy during the actual battle. Get a bit closer and the Pirate will break out, give you a menacing look, and start to attack.
When the battle is over the Omega Pirate keels over and lands on top of you (ew!). Then it kind of melts away into your armor (double ew!). The result of this combination of the Phazon from the Pirate and your armor is the next upgrade, the Phazon Suit.
When the Omega Pirate was defeated it also lowered a force field blocking access to a small elevator on one side of the room. Scan the panel to activate it and step in to be taken to the upper level of the room. Now follow the catwalk to the exit.
Processing Center Access[edit]
An Energy Tank, the last expansion in the game, is waiting here. It will restore full health so it's good timing. Scan the security panel to unblock the passage. You can't do this from the other side, which is why you had to go all the way through the Metroid caves to get to Elite Quarters. Note that even though the floor here is covered with Phazon, you can wade through it without damage now that you have the Phazon Suit.
Phazon Processing Center[edit]
You're back in previously explored territory, but you'll find Plasma Troopers in this area now. You now have all the upgrades and expansions in the game, and the next step is to collect the remaining Chozo Artifacts.
