Right, after going back down into the mines to dig out the last artifact I was ready to head to the core.

*Beats Meta Ridley*
Surely not the end yet? No. Okay.

*Beats Metroid Prime*
Well thank feck for that...

*Meets Metroid Prime again*
Oh For F*** Sake


The game stopped being fun a long time ago, way back when the hideous reality of the backtracking set in.
Now I just really want to finish the thing, so that I can trade it in when Burnout 2 comes along.

But Mertoid Prime stands between me and my fifteen or twenty quid.

Okay, I've stood in Phazon and blasted at him. Took his energy down to nearly nothing. Then he stops, a bunch of random-seeming waves of fire spread over the ground, metroids appear, he comes back with full energy.
Repeat.

Questions:
Metroids - Best / quickest way to kill?
When invisible - Sometimes the x-ray scanner shows nothing, sometimes something's there. What's all that about?
Is this the last boss? Please tell me this is the last thing. 3 end of game bosses is taking the pish. I think 4 would make me cry.

And any general help on sending the translucent son of a biatch to hell would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Yeah, it's only the fission Metroid that it doesn't work on.

We're back to the ice beam working again? Excellent... :^)

I'll probably get round to trying it again in a day or two. The spider guy took too long, I can't be ashed now

Oh and use the ice beam on Metroids, freeze them, then fire a missile.

Different visors show up the different pools.

Just keep flipping your visor every time the big tw@t makes a pool of phazon, then go stand in the phazon and shoot like you've never shot before.

I gotta admit, I know there's gotta be a big boss to end the game but I thought Metroid Prime was a load of crap. He looks impressive at first but he's so annoying and it takes ages to kill him.

Then again, i've always hated 80% of boss fights.
