Cheat Codes/Hints
Defeating Elysia (Seed Boss)
Keep shooting him with single shots from your plasma gun when he is exposed. At certain times during the fight, you will not be able to hurt him. Scan him with your visor and it will tell you how to get him exposed to your shots. He will have many different forms in which you have to make him exposed. After many shots to his body, he will open up. Go into Hyper mode and blast away at him, making sure he does not run into you. Keep doing this until he is dead. Then collect your prize and continue on your journey.
Defeating Metroid Hatchers and Metroids
Use the following trick to one-hit-kill Metroid Hatchers and Metroids. It requires the Nova Beam and X-ray Visor. Turn on your X-ray and lock on to either a Metroid Hatcher or Metroid. When you lock on, notice a red spot and an "up close" of the enemy will appear. If you can shoot this spot the creature will die instantly. Note: These are not the only creatures this affects. Pirate Commandos are also affected, and this technique must be used on Omega Ridley.
Use the following trick to kill the Metroid Hatchers. Switch to your X-Ray visor and shoot the reddest spot only once. That should kill it. It saves a lot of problems because you do not have to rip off all the tentacles. This also works with normal "Phazon Metroids", especially since they keep phasing out of the time space.
Defeating Mogner War Golem (Boss of Bryyo)
To defeat Mogner War Golem (Boss of Bryyo), first dodge and jump over all of his attacks. While doing this, use missiles and your Power Beam to blow up the red orbs on his chest. Try this order: first the stomach, then the shoulders, and finally the back. Shoot them until they are giving off white light. Then, use your Hyperbeam to blow up the now white orb. Do this for all four of them. After you destroy one, the Golem will try to run into you and use his "little jump and create waves of pain" attack. Every time he is about to jump, use Morph Ball Bombs on his feet. They should explode, and you can continue fighting him. Also, when he starts to make red orbs come to his hands, blow them up or you will have to destroy his orbs again.
First, shatter all the red orbs on his body. This is somewhat challenging because he reaches out for more orbs frequently and you must destroy them before he gets them. Try using Charged Shots on the orbs. After you have shattered all the orbs, they will be glow white. Go into hyper mode and shoot the glowing orbs. Only shoot at one orb at a time. You will damage him, but he creates armor on his feet and charges. Also the orbs are covered up. Go into morph ball mode and bomb each of his feet until the armor is destroyed. When the armor is destroyed, the orbs will glow again. Repeat the process until he dies. Note: If you are low on health or Phazon, destroying the green hands and the orbs will replenish them. If done correctly you should have full health most of the time.
Defeating Omega Ridley
Whatever you do, do not get hit. Besides that, just shoot him in the mouth whenever you get the chance. When he is stunned, rip open his chest with your Grapple Beam, go into Hyper mode, and blast away. Repeat this until he gets armor over his chest. When he is stunned, go into your X-Ray visor and shoot his shoulders. You will then be able to shoot his chest. Use your Hyper mode and kill him.
Defeating Pirate Berserkers
Use the following trick when you encounter a Pirate Berserker (which happens often). This large creature has two red lights on its shoulders. While dodging its shots and "waves of pain", destroy these lights using your beam and missiles. When they are both destroyed, wait for it to shoot purple orbs. Dodge the red ones, as they will hurt you. Shoot the purple orbs, and they will fly back at him. After doing this approximately three times, a red light should pop up on his head. Go into Hyper mode, and start shooting at it. This should not take too long. Then, collect the health and continue on your journey.
Defeating Pirate Commandos
Select your X-ray visor, then lock onto a Space Pirate Commando. A small screen will appear showing an "up close" of the Commando. You should now be able to see a small red spot where its face should be. If you can manage to shoot this spot, he will die instantly. Two to five rapid fire shots usually hits it.
Defeating Space Pirates with grenades
Occasionally you will fight a pirate that throws grenades, much like the pirate at the beginning of the game. This is actually beneficial if you encounter one during a fight with a large group of pirates - a space pirate grenade will cause you to enter corrupted Hypermode (without using an Energy Tank) when it hits you. Once you have been hit, use up your Phazon as quickly as possibly by blasting the nearby pirates with your Hyper Beam. Make sure to empty your reserves completely however; if you stay in Hypermode for too long you will die.
Defeating the Boss guarding the Nova Beam
Kill all the Space Pirates except for one. When the sucking beam enters the room, kill the Space Pirate and it will get sucked into the beam. Then, look up. There will be four panels. Shoot one until it explodes. Repeat this until you have shot all four.
Defeating the Defense Drone
First, you must destroy the three antennas on top of the drone's head while dodging its attacks. This is somewhat difficult because they can be regenerated. The drone is now stunned and you are able to grapple it and open up the front of its head. Do this quickly because it is not stunned for long. Now, with its head open, it will fly to the ledges around you and shoot bombs at you. Shoot them before they get to you, because they home in on you and they also drop health and ammuntion. Go into hyper mode and shoot its open head. Use a charged shot for maximum damage. After you have done some damage to it, its head will close and you will have to repeat the process. Once you have done this several times, smoke fills the room and makes it difficult to see, and the drone regenerates its antenna very quickly so you must destroy them fast. After that, just go into hyper mode and blast the front off its head.
Defeating the Leviathan Infant
In the room before Dark Samus on planet Phaaze, there is a small Leviathan seed in the middle. Pull off the two sides of it using your Grapple Beam first. Then while dodging and blowing up Metroids, shoot the Leviathan Infant inside with single shots from your Hyper Beam. It will continually switch sides. Follow it. It should be dead after about five minutes of this.
