Let’s start by exploring this giant room before moving on to the lower parts of Area 2. It’s needed to get through the poisonous flora. No, this is not an optional ability for those that need an extra hand. Activate this to form a protective shield around your suit. The next room grants you the latest Aeion ability, the Lightning Armor. Ignore the weak wall on the right for now and continue on the door needed a Charge Beam. Once the Alpha Metroid is defeated, destroy the weak spot on the left wall with a rocket to gain access to the next section.
#METROID SAMUS RETURNS BLUE BLOCKS UPGRADE#
Get to the bottom where you’ll find the Spider Ball upgrade hiding behind a block! Use a Bomb to get through. Return to the previous room and use the now opened room. Shoot the dormant door from this side to open it up. Use the Save Station resting above the dormant door, then roll up into a ball and slide into the next room. Jump up, then open up the malfunctioning door on the right. Charge your attack to freeze them for longer. Freeze the two enemies here and use them to reach the top. Go back up to the area where you couldn’t move upward. To leave the previous room, freeze the enemy and hop on top to use as a platform to reach the exit. Inside is your next upgrade, the Ice Beam! There’s a secret hiding in this room but you won’t be able to get it for a while. Use a missile on the red barrier to access the next room. In the next room you won’t be able to get back up to leave. Get to the lowest part and enter the area on the left. Use a missile on the red barrier of the next door. Avoid the first door and drop down to the bottom where you’ll find a hallway leading to the left. There’s a Save Station in the room on your right. There is a lot to do here but you’ll want to pick up some key upgrades first. You’ll eventually reach a big and open area. It can also unlock doors that require a little more energy like the one in front of you! The Charge Beam lets you charge your standard attack to release a powerful attack. Head inside to find a Chozo statue with another new weapon.

In the next room, jump up to to the ledge where you’ll use a missile to break the red barrier around the door. Use it now to find breakable blocks in the top left corner.Īfter the Alpha Metroid is defeated, step into the next room where you’ll be able to refill your ammo. This will cost Aieon fuel which you can regain by collecting Aeion Orbs. Set the ability with your D-Pad, then press A to activate it.

In this area you’ll find the Scan Pulse, your first out of four Aeion abilities. Head over the the next set of statues and roll into the mouth using the Morph Ball. The door won’t budge so jump up to the ledge above the door and enter the next area. Shoot the orb in the Chozo statue’s hand to reveal the new ability. Pass the Ammo Refill Station and enter the next room. You’ll find this one early on in the Surface.
