Defeating Quadraxis
If you remember the giant robot parts in the room before the empty energy transfer device in light world? Well one of them has been asembled. He starts out with his legs and head parts. To take him down, go Morph Ball and use the Boost Ball to hit the glowing red spheres between the toes of it. After you hit all the spheres, the large knee caps are your next targets. The are blue on a edge of and will turn read when you shot them. Blow all four of the knee caps, he's done momement. The head detatchs itself from the destroyed body. Remeber to scan the head and body seperatly at that momement. Use the Echos Visor to find a transmitter on the top of the destroyed Body. Shot it with maybe 2 super missles adn it will shut off. Find and attack the head, still use the Echos Visor to find and destroy one of the 3 transmitters on the head. After all the head's transmmitters are destroyed, the back of the head will blow off showing a lagre Spider Ball track all over the head. Use a 2 Super Missles to stun it. After stunning the head, go onto one of the 4 legs and look for a small spider track. Launch yourself using the boost ball from one the ends of the legs and land on top of the head. Look on the head for 2 bomb slots. Drop bombs into one of the slots. After severely damaging it, repeat the process again and you win.
Defeating the Alpha Blogg
To defeat the Alpha Blogg, you must first scan him if you want a good ending. However, this is optional. Once you are fighting him, make sure you always have him locked on. Sometimes he will shoot air bubbles at you, then charge at you. When he is charging, charge the Power Beam. Just before he hits you, fire the Super Missile. Do not do this too soon or late or you will hit his side. You will still get hit, but it will not do much damage if you have the energy tanks. Keep doing this until he is defeated.
The Alpha Blogg can be eliminated the same way you would take care of the normal Bloggs. The only differences are that you can move freely with the Gravity Boost and that the Alpha Blogg shoots sonic waves which will stun you and your gun for a few seconds. To kill it, charge your Power Beam and wait until it rams you. When it gets close to you, it will open its mouth. At that point, shoot like mad. The Super Missile will damage it the most. After you shoot, strafe and dash using Left or Right and B. Repeat this about four to five times to win.
Defeating the Bomb Guardian
The fight will begin with you fighting an Alpha Sanddigger for a brief moment. First, when the Alpha Sanddigger is not infected by the Dark energy, shoot it in the face with a few Power Beam shots (like a regular Sanddigger). In a few seconds, the Alpha Sanddigger will get infected by Dark energy, transforming it into the Bomb Guardian. The Bomb Guardian is fast -- never stand in one place. It also has a variety of attacks. As you might expect, the Bomb Guardian uses your morph ball bombs against you. It will throw bombs at you, leave some behind as it slithers across the arena, and hurl some out of its mouth. The easiest way to evade the bombs it throws is to keep your reticule locked on to it and strafe. Its other attacks include charging at you, and biting you if you get too close. You should also lock on and strafe to avoid these attacks Note: When you avoid the Bomb Guardian's charge attack, it will get behind you, making you lose your lock-on. When this happens, quickly turn around and lock back on to it. During the battle, you will notice a purple glowing thing on its tail. Lock on to it and shoot it when you get the chance while avoiding its attacks, until it is red and not glowing. Two Charge Beam shots should be sufficient. When you shoot it, the Bomb Guardian will prepare its attack. While it is doing this, shoot it in the head to whittle down its health. Be careful, as it will soon hurl some morph ball bombs from its mouth. It is practically possible to avoid this attack -- do not get hit more than one time. Repeat this process until it is dead. When you kill it, you will obtain your morph ball bombs again. Note: When the Bomb Guardian throws bombs at you or charges at you, its weak spot on its tail will stop glowing. Ignore this, as you still cannot damage it until you make it stop glowing.
Defeating the Boost Guardian
In this battle, your energy will slowly decrease because of the Dark atmosphere. There are no Light Crystals to help you. There are four pillars in the room, and each contains the Ultra Energy Unit when broken down. They are essential to your survival. The Boss will take two forms, normal and liquid. When in its normal form, blast it down with a Super Missile, as it will damage him the most. The Boss will then form into a morph ball and start spiking through the room randomly. Jump over it, or form into a ball to get out of its way. Also watch out for its minions. After three to four spikes, it will follow you on the ground in maroon liquid form. Quickly form into a ball, roll around, and drop bombs behind you. It will repeat spiking and forming into liquid again. Repeat this and it will finally revert back to normal form. Blast it with the
Super Missile and repeat the entire process until it is dead. Once it is defeated, the Boost Ball upgrade is yours.
Before you enter the hole to the Boss' chamber, switch to the Light Beam. By doing this, you will start with it when you are out of morph ball mode. When the battle begins, you will automatically change out of morph ball mode. Either scan him or begin charging your Light Beam (which will be your default) and try to get two or three shots on him before he starts glowing. When he glows red, he is temporarily invincible. When he is in ball form, switch to morph ball mode. This will make avoiding his minion Ing easier. If you can, drop a morph ball bomb in front of him before he charges off -- look for the line down the middle of his ball form. He will charge in one of those two directions. If the blast hits him while he is in ball form, he will instantly turn into his liquid form, in which case he will follow you around. Drop M.B.B.s to damage him. If he starts boosting around before you hit him, roll around, dropping morph ball bombs and try to avoid him. If he hits the bomb blasts while he is moving, he will stop and turn into his liquid form. After about three bombs in his liquid form, he will change back to his solid form. Change back to your gun mode and repeat those steps. He should die after about three repetitions.
Defeating the Emperor Ing
Just a heads up, he has 5 forms so that way you know. When you first see him he has the last energy source with him and runs off. Follow him into a room and you will see the source again (a giant red orb). You have the avialability to scan it if you want to. Jump down into the arena. NOTE: There is Phazon lining the edges so do not run into it. Anyway the Emperor has two scans at the current moment. The Base and the head are what you scan. He has 4 tentacles at the momement, all you do is kill off all tentacles and the new form comes forth. In place of the head you see a mass of energy which is the eye. There are two small plates surrounding the eye with a small space between the two. 4 Super Missles do the job. However, I can garentee you will not shot him with 4 super missles at that time. The more damage you do to the eye part, the more tentacles will show up. He attacks with swinging his tentacles at you throws a huge mass of dark energy at you on occasions. After defeating that form, he goes into a hybernation by go all coccon on you. Remember to scan this new form. TO break him open, go morph ball and use the Spider Ball to get on top of it. You will see small white patchs all over him which are the eleven weak points. basically, launch off power bombs and morph ball bombs all over him. When you stun weak point, a tentacle will pop out and all you have to do is blow it up with a bomb. After killing off all the weak points he ememrges with Phazon based form, remember to scan. Here is what happens, there is mouth and five legs on him. There is a heart inside the mouth and it should be read at the momement. Use a Super missle to the stun him, if you are successful the red area will turn either turn PURPLE or WHITE. That is you time to inflict damage to his health. Use the Annihilater, if you saved it. If the area goes Red again, use another Super Missle to bring back Purple or White. After you beat him the energy is yours, now is a race for your life, you have eight minute to get back to light world. The nearby Save Point is destroyed so just keep running.
Defeating the Final Dark Samus
After defeating the Emperor Ing, and take the light energy down back to the ground, she seals off the exit with Phazon. Samus just looks turns around and there she is. After her last defeat, she is now looking all skeleton like. She has absorbed way too mush Phazon and she is now at the peak of power. Here is what happens. Use as much of your skill as possible from rapidally pressing your fire button to avoiding shots. Dark Samus has gotten a lot better. She is vulnerable to attacks when she starts running around every where, and when she goes invisible to attack you (use Echos Visor to find her). She uses and extremely powerful shield when she goesi into the middle of the arena. She will rise up and send out huge blast of Phazon. Just jump out of the way as usual. Remember that when in the shield form, she has a new scan on her. If you are using L button to target her, you may notice that the target move above her and many fragments of Phazon fly out at you, do not jump out of the way, instead of jumping away, charge a shot and absorb the fragments, when you do, the beam will turn BLUE, when it does, hit the shield of Dark Samus with it. This will cause damage to her life and the shield. Continue the process of shotting her to bring an end to the game. After she is defeated, the game ends with like 20 Ing coming after you, though you do not play this part, it is fun to watch, when you escape throug the dimensional portal, the Ing are all trapped and they die, you then see Samus wthout the suit (the whole suit) in a GCF costume, it is fun beating it a few time over.
Defeating the Grapple Guardian
If you remember the Glenchers from the light world (the reptiles like the Shegoths from the last game) well this guy is a type of elite dude (or Alpha). He is very easy, or atleast for me he was. There are 2 weak points on him, the eye (like under on his jaws) and his back. Here is what you need to do. Shot his eye with whatever you want, you should know that when you shot at his eye, it will eventually just piss him off. He will attack with the Grapple Beam in his horn, use the two pillars in the room to avoid him. After shotting him a lot, he will shot a grapple beam at you. Jump behind a pillar and he will get jammed. Jump behind him and shot the hell out him for your life (literallly). Continue the process of shotting his, ticking him off, and jumping behind him and shotting him. Eventually, you will defeat him if you continue this process.
Defeating the Jump Guardian
To defeat the jump guardian, you have to keep shooting at it. It jumps really high onto ledges and sometimes you lose sight of it. Find it right away and keep shooting it. It might also shoot lazers at you so quickly move out of the way from those (They push you out of the safe zone and cause damage). If you defeat the jump guardian, you will get the space jump boots.
Defeating the Power Bomb Guardian
This guy has your Power Bomb and spews it them out at you. There are those little Darkling guys, so shot them to gain more health if you need it. To beat him, there are 4 bomb slots near the top of the room. Use the Spider Ball to get to all of them. After you get to all the slots, a metal plate will crash on top of the gaurdian and crush him. THe power bombs will look all blue adn yellow and explode all over the place killing just about everything they hit. NOTE: After you defeat him, ther Power Bomb still requires ammunition. There also still those Power bombupgrade from the last game. Just so you know!
Defeating the Spider Guardian
There is no official way to beat this guy who has your Spider Ball. Although sounds simple, it is not. The whole time you wil have to be using you morph ball for this guy. First of all, you will need to stun him using your bombs before the bomb slot, which you will find out later, which at first is easy. He will have a Blue field around him which does 20 damage when it hits you. When you stun (depending on how many times) he will turn red and move faster. If you are lucky enough to stun him enough, he will go green and the slot will be online. All you need to do is get to the Bomb Slot and it will open a latch, the Spider gaurdian goes by it and hits an Electric Field causing 1/6 health to be taken away. The last part is very complicated. There are three slots adn they must all be active at a time. The first slot is at the bottom and must be activated when the Guardian is at the other end from where you are. If this sounds confusing, do not worry, you will understand when you fight him. When I said that there were 3 bomb slots, yes they all must be active all at one time to eventually finish him off.
