;2) The Energy Tank trap: In order to reach the energy tank at the other side of the long green corridor below the hidden Missile Pack, you're going to have to find a over the very large column at the left end of the room. See the Notes section below for more information. Once you do, you may think the hardest part to reaching the Energy Tank is over, but you'd be wrong. The bridge area that you arrive at contains a secret pitfall. The stone floor may look solid but it isn't. The screenshot to the right shows you the placement of the pit. In order to collect the tank, you have two choices: either you make a perfect jump over the three false block and land on the other side, or you drop down the pit and attempt to reach the tank from the other side. Be forewarned, however. The shaft that will allow you to climb back up to the tank's level is incredibly difficult, as it involves jumping from one single width column to another, and if you miss a landing, it's a long drop down with no way to get back up. | ;2) The Energy Tank trap: In order to reach the energy tank at the other side of the long green corridor below the hidden Missile Pack, you're going to have to find a over the very large column at the left end of the room.

Alternatively, roll into a ball, and lay one bomb in the middle of the last solid square, then tap left. The explosion will loft you over the gap easily, and you can then collect the tank. | |||

;5) Face to face with Ridley himself: Whether you came from the shaft on the far right, or you took the shortcut and fell from the corridors up above, the time has come for you to face Ridley and take him down. He certainly won't go without a fight. His only real attack is to jump up and down and spit a series of bouncing fireballs at you. These fireballs can block your missiles, so you need to stand very close to Ridley in order to hit him if missiles are your weapon of choice. Most players like to strike Ridley from a location that he has no defense against: below him. If you have the Varia Suit, than you don't have to lot to fear from the lava at the bottom of his chamber. It will probably do far less damage to you than Ridley would. If you stand beneath Ridley, aim up, and fire the Wave Beam at him, he'll take every hit. It will take a while to kill him this way, so continue to jump up and down to minimize the damage from the lava. With this very easy strategy, Ridley will be destroyed in no time, granting you an additional 75 to your missile capacity in the process. The door to the left is one of two very odd doors that require 10 missile hits to enter. Beyond it lies another Energy Tank. Head in here and grab it if things go very badly for you during the fight with Ridley. | ;5) Face to face with Ridley himself: Whether you came from the shaft on the far right, or you took the shortcut and fell from the corridors up above, the time has come for you to face Ridley and take him down.

Sometimes, the fireballs will bounce almost vertically, and sometimes they will coast a ways. if they are coasting, you can safely stand right next to him. You can also screw attack Ridley when he jumps for massive damage. Naturally this is a lot easier if the fireballs are cooperating. If they are bouncing vertically, then you must let them bounce about 6 times or so, then freeze them if you still have ice beam. you can then approach. (if you have wave beam, it's probably easier to just attack from the lava) | |||

;A) Back into the fire: Once you are finished in Hideout II, or if you forgot an important item and need to go back, you have only one option out of here: the way you came in. The only elevator out of Hideout II leads back to the fiery region of Norfair. | ;A) Back into the fire: Once you are finished in Hideout II, or if you forgot an important item and need to go back, you have only one option out of here: the way you came in.
