(Alternate Queen Killing Method)
Line 38: Line 38:
Initially, you must shoot her head with missiles and Super Missiles, all the while dodging her head when it darts out to attack you.  After a while, she will stop attacking with her head, and the horns on her head will start to glow.  When they do, she will retreat a short distance, open her mouth, and release a series of strange organisms that float around the room and damage Samus.  While a threat, these organisms can also benefit you if you manage to shoot them and freeze them.  When destroyed, they leave behind a cache of energy and missile ammunition.  You can use these as an opportunity to refuel, but do so carefully, as the Queen will resume her attack as soon as the organisms are released.

After receiving enough damage, the Queen will stop attacking.  She will take a short step back, and build up a lot of energy before releasing a fireball from her mouth.  This fireball will destroy the wall behind you.  The Queen will advance and force you to head back to the right.  Then the fight will resume.  You must continue nailing her head with missiles until she steps back and releases another fireball.  This will continue four times until you are pushed all the way back to room O on the map.  When this happens, you have no where left to run.  The Queen will dart her head out and clutch you in her maw.  Samus will raise one hand and point her gun down the Queens throat.  Fire multiple rounds of missiles into the Queen.  If you don't destroy her in time, her jaws will snap shut, and then she will lash out and catch you again.  Continue shooting missiles until the Queen can handle no more and ultimate explodes. You have defeated the last Metroid threat on SR-388.
