Before bashing Kraid, you might want to obtain an upgrade for your beam. So, head left again until you reach the first red-solied room. Leftmost, you can notice a breakable block on the ceiling. Shoot it with your beam and jump up through the hole. At the morph-ball tunnel, break the first block with a bomb as usual. But you have to use your beam on the second one. If you use a bomb, a hole will emerge directly under you, causing you to fall down into the water.<br> | Before bashing Kraid, you might want to obtain an upgrade for your beam.

Utilising the Spazer, you will fire three beams at once. This can be pretty helpful when aiming at enemies, not to mention the ability to kill [[../Enemies#Green Pirates|green Space Pirates]] using the beam. | Utilising the Spazer, you will fire three beams at once.

=== Battling [[Super Metroid/Bosses#Kraid|Kraid]] === | |||
You'll have to shoot and break certain blocks a lot to reach Kraid, which can sometimes be tricky, so read carefully.<br> | |||
Return to the elevator room. As soon as you're there, shoot the lowermost block in the right wall with a Super Missile. Enter the hole, then jump upon the platform beneath the creepy alien head. Enter the gate behind it.<br> | |||
You'll now arrive in a factory-like room. Shoot the platform's leftmost block and go through the hole. In the lower chamber, set a bomb at the lowest block of the right wall and pass through it. Open the gate and kill the mantis-like aliens in the next room. If you want to save before visiting Kraid (which is actually advisable), go to the right, morph into a ball and roll into the pit. Place a bomb and roll to the right. The Save Station is right behind the gate.<br> | |||
To get to Kraid, hold out for a cracked spot on the floor of the mantis room. As you find it, shoot it, go through the hole and the gate. The Space Pirates in the next room can easily be killed by using the beam (thanks to the Spazer). At the end of the room, you will encounter a mini version of Kraid. The best way to beat him is simply using missiles (two should do). The next corridor hides a refiller room, but it's not too hard to find it. Shoot the cealing at the spot without solid blocks above. Recharge, if necessary, and go to the next room to meet Kraid.{{-}} | |||
{{sidebar|float=right|width=140px|title=Boss Gates|contents=The entrances to boss rooms are always a bit special. To open the gate, shoot its eye with a missile as soon as it opens. Don't be too slow, or the gate will shoot you! | |||

==== The battle itself ==== | |||
Kraid is one of the easiest bosses to beat. The best way to finish him is using Super Missiles, since he can only take four of them. As he hatches out of the ground, shoot his face using your beam. As he opens his mouth, shoot a Super Missile inside. If you run out of ammo, shoot the claws flying around in the room. After hitting him with 4 Super Missiles or 20 Normal Missiles, he will drop into the ground again, and that's it!<br> | |||
After the fight, go to the next room to obtain your new item: the [[Super Metroid/Items#Normal|Varia Suit]]! Its main purpose is to protect you from heat, which will be quite handy in Norfair! Plus, it halves the damage Samus will take. | |||
