There are two doors leading out of this room. The first one leads to a super heated room and without the protection of the Varia Suit, the heat will quickly kill you. Take the second door to the Arboretum Access instead.
Head to the bottom section of the room then fire on the fractured wall to reveal your first Missile Expansion.
Next, destroy the Missile Lock Door and enter the Map Station.

With the game saved and your energy recharged, head to the Main Plaza.
'''Scan''': Shriekbat
Slowly progress into this room and you'll find several creatures hanging from the ceiling called Shriekbats, scan them for their Log Book entry. If you get too close to them, they'll fly towards you and explode however they don't take much firepower to kill.

You won't be able to destroy the Reaper Vines in here until much later, instead just fire on them and they'll retreat into the wall.

Continue on until you reach a Missile Lock Door. Blast through it then continue through the Gathering Hall Access into the Gathering Hall.

Head to the Missile Lock Door near where you were attacked by a swarm of Beetles. Blast it open then continue on to the Ruined Shrine Access.

Two groups of Scarabs are in this room, destroy them before attempting to progress further.
Take the door on the right to Save Station 2

<!-- Image of expansion -->
You'll see the Morph Ball on the far side of this room, however before you can acquired it, a wall will obstruct your path and you'll be attacked by a swarm of Beetles. If there are several Beetles grouped together, uses Missiles (keep at least three in reserve) to destroy them, otherwise stick to the Power Beam. After you slay the swarm, you'll be attacked by a Plated Beetle.
After you get to the center of this room, you'll find a cracked wall. Blast it with a Missile to reveal a Missile Expansion. Continue further and you'll find a Missile Lock Door plus some Shriekbats.

If done at close range, all the Missiles it takes to defeat the Plated Beetle will make contact before it turns around for another run.}}
There are five runic symbols that you'll have to scan in this room. The first three are located in the bottom area. After you've activated them, head up to and you'll find the fourth, this will expose the final one. Once the wall is dropped, go get the Charge Beam.
<!--Gallery of symbol locations -->


This creature behaves like a normal Beetle, however it is invulnerable to frontal attack. It'll make a screech just before it rams you, so dodge it then blast its vulnerable abdomen with Missiles. The creature will succumb to the damage after two or three hits with Missiles, depending on the set difficulty of the game.
After you acquire the Charge Beam, the Eyons will come to life. Use your Charge Beam to destroy them.
