== Reactor Core ==
The hall to the Reactor Core is lined with more Pirate corpses than usual and green blood is splattered all over. Step forward to be taken down to the lower level. A live Parasite Queen climbs down from the shaft, roars at you and climbs into the reactor.
'''Scan:''' Parasite Queen.


As you approach the reactor, a live Parasite Queen climbs down from the shaft, roars at you and climbs into the reactor.

=== Boss Battle: The Parasite Queen ===
Scan the Parasite Queen immediately and you will be able to aim for her weak point, the mouth. The creature will attack by firing streams of acid, however this only inflicts a small amount of damage. Her main defense is the two-layered reactor shield which stops all attacks unless you fire through an opening on one side. At times the shield will spin rapidly and block almost all incoming shots but an occasional Power Beam blast may still get through.

Scan the Parasite Queen immediately and you will be able to aim for her weak point, the mouth. This creature will attack by firing streams of acid, however this only inflicts a small amount of damage. Her main defense is the two-layered reactor shield with only a small opening and stops all attacks. Occasionally, the shield will suddenly spin rapidly and block almost all incoming shots but single Power Beam blasts can still get through, or you can simply run round avoiding the incoming attacks which you can do by dashing as the shield quickly settles.
Keep strafing to avoid the acid and keep in front of the gap in the shield. The Charge Beam and Missiles are the most effective weapons; just keep blasting her mouth and she should be defeated in no time at all.  


The Charge Beam and Missiles are the most effective weapons against the Parasite Queen. Just continually blast her mouth and she'll be defeated in no time at all. The queen will then fall into the reactor causing an overload, leaving you with seven minutes to escape before the frigate's destruction.
'''Advanced strategy (WII):''' Rapidly firing your Missiles can take out the Parasite Queen in a matter of seconds. This is done by pressing {{control|{{gc|y}} followed by {{gc|a}}|{{wii|Down|Dpad}} followed by {{wii|a}}(on default settings)}} as fast as you can. Note that only three Missile can be active at a single time so use this strategy when you are as close to the Parasite Queen as possible.

When she's defeated the queen falls into the reactor causing an overload and leaving you with seven minutes to escape before the frigate's destruction. Quickly locate the exit using the map; it's not the same you you came in.
