There is a Grenchler here and it can be an awkward fight since it's tricky to get around behind it in close quarters. Before moving on, switch to Morph Ball and roll under the ledge at the entrance for a Missile Expansion. | There is a Grenchler here and it can be an awkward fight since it's tricky to get around behind it in close quarters.

Continue to a part of the passage with a low ceiling and switch to Morph Ball to get through. When you come out there are Sporbs waiting, so quickly switch out of Morph Ball and use Missiles on them. Get the history scan here and use the White door. | Continue to a part of the passage with a low ceiling and switch to Morph Ball to get through.

As you step into the room you get a short view of a large Ing which turns into a Morph Ball and escapes through a tunnel on the far side. Drop down from the ledge and recover your energy in the safe zone, then follow the Ing into the tunnel. You meet the Ing again and a battle begins. | As you step into the room you get a short view of a large Ing which turns into a Morph Ball and escapes through a tunnel on the far side.

You're not at the beginning of the game anymore and the bosses are starting to get more difficult, but this is still pretty doable. To start with, the monster acts just like a Warrior Ing. First get a scan, then start shooting the monster with the charged Light beam whenever it's in Ing form. Eventually it turns red and drops the Ing form, alternating between its liquid form a Morph Ball form which uses a Boost ability to bounce around the room. You can't damage it in either of these forms, but if you drop bombs in its path | You're not at the beginning of the game anymore and the bosses are starting to get more difficult, but this is still pretty doable.

Eventually it turns red and drops the Ing form, alternating between its liquid form a Morph Ball form which uses a Boost ability to bounce around the room. You can't damage it in either of these forms, but if you drop bombs in its path in liquid form you will eventually force to switch back to it's Ing form. Avoiding the puddle of liquid can be tricky, but not impossible, however the Boost Ball attack is fast and hard to dodge. Fortunately, the monster doesn't seem to be able to aim these attacks so with a bit of luck you won't take much damage from them. | ||
When in liquid form the monster will spawn Inglets which is actually a good thing, since they drop refills when you defeat them. There are pillars here as well and the monster destroys them when it collides with them in a Boost Ball attack, and you can get energy refills this way too. There are no safe zones in this battle, so defeat the Inglets when you see them collect the refills if they appear. | When in liquid form the monster will spawn Inglets which is actually a good thing, since they drop refills when you defeat them.

The first thing to do with the Boost Ball to get the key from the wall. The room here has a U-shape which the game calls a half-pipe. If you've played Metroid Prime then using the half-pipe will be familiar, if not it's still pretty easy and you can practice while you're recovering in the safe zone. Roll to one side of the U, then start a boost and roll back, releasing the energy just as you pass the lowest point. If you did it right you should go a bit higher this time. Start another boost and release it at the lowest point going the other way to go even higher. It's best to just let gravity and the boosts do the work, so don't use the control stick. Also, start the next boost as soon as you can after a release; that way you should be up to full power on the next swing. Keep pumping this way and you can get quite a swing going. Note that the camera positions itself to give you a good vantage point for this. | The first thing to do with the Boost Ball to get the key from the wall.
