I scan. EVERYTHING. There are also two other *very* missable scans in this game. The first is in Agon Wastes when you are solving a Morph Ball puzzle to open the gate to Dark Aether for the first time; there are those rolly-polie things you only encounter in Morph Ball where you can't scan (here is the only place where they come into view, and they never show up again after this point in the game, so don't miss it!). The second is against the dreaded Spider Ball Guardian (one of the hardest bosses in the game, second only to the notorious Boost Ball Guardian--who was so difficult the lead designer for MP2:E had to play it in debug mode in order to beat it); right before the battle, you can see it rolling around behind glass tubes, so as soon as you start the battle against it you will never get that chance again!
@@QrazyQuarian The Metroid Prime Trilogy is like, one of the greatest trilogies of all time, but I REALLY don’t know if some of these missable scans are good game design. The bosses and mini bosses, yeah, it makes sense that you have to scan them or else you miss them permanently, but then there’s like, enemies that only appear in one room, don’t look any different than their normal variants, and immediately suicide charge you anyway, and if you don’t know about them you’ll have to replay the game again for 100%. It feels kind of tedious and not well-thought-out, and if they WERE thinking it out, then they were clearly thinking like a bunch of assholes, lol.
I feel that way sort of about the level design. It’s non-sensical, you can’t learn your way around the areas like you could in Prime 1. You have to constantly dissect the map before you go anywhere. That was my case anyway. Prime 3 improved that a lot.
@@ezecskornfan Post-credits ending in MP1 shows Dark Samus coming from the corpse of Metroid Prime, which means it integrated with the Phazon Suit that it ripped off of Samus.
i like it how in the first phase he hit almost every single shot when the boss exposed its weak point the first time and then had about 10% accuracy with every successive time the boss exposed its weak point
Even with every energy tank, Emperor Ing is still one hell of a challenge. It took me four tries and on the fourth try, I won by the skin of my teeth. I was on my last energy tank and it was below 30. I can’t even imagine this on hypermode. You’d be insane to even try that.
@@genebomb9958 I don't know for you, but I don't need music to be called dance music to dance to it. I dance on cinematic music too. I'm not talking about staying in place and dancing casually on it like most people in bars are dancing but in a more expressive and organic way. I'm immerged in it and sensitive to it when I do that. Of course, I listen to it too sitting on my chair close to my studio speakers. I personally need to move a lot because I have a pain disease and I'm doing a job in which I'm sitting a lot of hours a day (composer, arranger, sound designer, sound engineer). I think I may be well placed to appreciate and understand the subtility and vibe in music. ;) :)
One of my favorite fights in the trilogy. And my favorite boss music in Metroid (both phases). It's just so difficult, horrifying and truly fitting for the Emperor of the greatest catastrophe that took over Aether. I love everything about this fight, especially the fact that you aren't just restricted to using certain beams and their missile combos for the Metroid Prime which is a slog to kill. You can destroy this thing with absolutely everything (the first phase atleast). I love how it makes use of almost everything you have, and it truly tests how well you have mastered Prime 1 and 2.
@extremeace although you are really fighting Metroid Prime over again as she became Dark Samus and therefore for three more encounters you face Metroid Prime over and over.
One thing that concerns me during this guy's fight against dark samus is how he didn't absorb the phazon to make some effort on damage to dark Samus. But on a good note, that part of the cutscene when both dark samus and samus aimed cannons at each other is a no words moment.
Eldritch Horrors aren't meant to be understood or triumphed over. The Emperor Ing might look like one, but all he is in actuality is a shit nugget pretending to be a god. (To this day, the Ing are my most hated video game enemies).
Gorea from Hunters is closer to Lovecraftian god-tier. Eldritch gods are more than just "big scary aliens" - they need a certain supernatural and unknowable element to them.
I love how it really feels like you're fighting the peak of the Ing's power. Many boss fights in video games I feel don't seem like they're trying too hard for the sake of having a functional boss fight, but Emperor Ing ain't about that life. I MEAN HE FREAKING JUMPS AT YOU WITH AN ATTACK THAT THEN CREATES A SHOCKWAVE! Most bosses would probably just do the shockwave and hope the player fails to avoid it. And if that's not enough, let me remind you that he literally has the entire first boss of Prime 1 as simply part of his first phase.
Emperor Ing (Phase 3) is the third-hardest boss in the game, and rightfully so. The second is Spider Ball Guardian, and then I don't think it's divisive to say that Boost Ball Guardian might as well have showed up as a cameo in a Dark Souls game.
The only major issue I had with the missile upgrades for the Dark/Light/Annihilator beams in this game were their hit detection. Super Missiles were usually pretty forgiving, but in the battle against the Emperor Ing, especially, the other combos were not so forgiving. They should have improved that in the Wii version at the least.
Especially playing on the GameCube. My hands were fucking TIRED after all the previous attempts against phase 3 Emperor Ing. People who played this game only on the Wii do not appreciate how hard some of these fights are when using a GameCube controller.
@QrazyQuarian Wii remote is a nerf I'd rather fight him with the Gamecube controls honestly then again I use Primehack now (let's you use any controller and makes the game control like Metroid Prime Switch remake
@thejdmunknown4228 They patched alot of stuff in trilogy not sure why they would go out of their way to patch out these obscure things ig they're just anti fun
@noahjones9833 You can also freeze Dark Pirate Commandos(the ones that turn invisible and fly around the room and get mini boss music) with Dark Beam and shoot a missile and it'll 1 shot
Found Emperor Ing much more difficult than metroid prime from the first game. Went into the fight against MP vastly unprepared. Didnt have the ice blast and only had about 8 energy tanks and 140 missiles and died. Then dedicated about a week to getting the rest of the missiles and energy tanks and went for round two and wasted MP with ease. This time I went into the fight against EI with EVERY item and all missiles and energy tanks and died 3 times. Just had to keep trying and eventually conquered the beast 👍🏻
Well Im glad you feel that way. Emperor Ing is stronger than Dark samus anyway...he could probably absorb more phazon and be perfectly fine lol I feel they made him harder on purpose.
Me the whole first form “Bro use your multimissile launcher” Bro just screw attack him when he charges you, you can even screw attack Quadraxis when he spins
There's a trick to dodging the Emperor's tentacles. When it wiggles them and swings, you just have to pull back far enough and they'll miss you completely. When it sweeps them low against the floor, that's when you have to jump over them.
I really loved this boss fight too this is 2nd on my list for Metroid. 1st being Final Battle with Dark Samus (Prime3) 3rd being the Rock Golem (Prime1). Music was on point with it's 80s vibe to me!
Fun fact: The Emperor Ing's 2nd form is suppose to mirror the luminoth light transmitter module that you get the light suit from in the light temple. Cool subtle reference to the fact the Emperor Ing and dark aether is truly a mirror image of Light aether
@@LordMaxed oh my goodness I just had that connection visually played in my mind. I love Prime 2. Truly a work of art. RetroStudios was ahead of its time. That whole mission was a real challenge for Samus. It felt challenging even.
This is the laziest boss fight guide ever... you die to dark samus 4 and don't show/didn't figure out how to draw in the phazon to shoot through its shield...
No one is on the same level and something that is obviously for you is not necessarily for others. It's crazy to see that you are so judgmental of a person who didn't ask for anything, it annoys me.
Fantastic fight through of Emporer Ing, truly a fitting power of ulitmate evil. He was so intimidating my first play through and died several times. But Dark Samus at the end there. Boy was it frustrating to see you literally dodge everytime she showered phazon on you. 😩😩 I was suprised i survived that fight the first time. A truly incredible finish to an incredible game. Feom the moment you face the Emporer to the very end it is just intense, the world and your return out of the darkness weighs heavy upon what you must done. No one does it like Metroid.
What I did (and I have the gamecube version) 1st form: I used the light beam on the tentacles. Normally they take 1 hit on normal mode. Then I used super missiles on the eye, which does tremendous damage if timed correctly and accurately. 2nd form: I kept rolling around the shell until I got my energy up to near full, the power bombed the shit out of the weak points. 3rd form: Used seeker missiles and waited for its mouth to be wide open, then fired, causing the shielding to drop. I then unloaded the annihilator beam single shots on it since it seems out targets, which causes a lot of damage.
21:44 They had ba check point for this part of the game?! Granted, I played the Game Cube version, and I was worried that I would have to refight Emperor Ing after losing to Samus, I couldn't defeat Emperor Ing as a kid and on top of that, and if I would had defeated it, I would also attempted to save it, even though it might had been disabled, because I didn't want to go through that boss that killed me dozens times over again when I lost to Dark Samus, I was thinking it would put me back to the check point, like it did for other bosses. And thinking I had to go through that again, I was also put off.
wow I've been playing the prime trilogy since they came out I never knew you could hit the emperor ING with annihilator beam, I always used super missiles
Am I the only one that was a little disappointed in the Dark Samus reveal? Like, how amazing would it have been if the music dropped out completely as you teleported down, only to have the portal cover over, hearing DS's footsteps behind you, turning around to face her, aiming their arm cannons at each other, and then BOOM have the music come back in with some added elements (like idk, a chorus or something). It just seemed kind of meh to me
That would have been great, but i still like the fight, it's like Dark Samus saying "If the dark aether explodes, you too!... (and me)" BTW I'm answering this comment 7 months later, i know.
+Ta GrifaVc And since Dark Samus managed to revive even after getting causing in a dimension collapse/destruction, I am pretty sure it doesn't care if it gets caught in Dark Aether's explosion because it knows it can just revive while Samus can't. Talk about taking advantage of things
The thing i hate about this game is the amount of energy tanks you can get, that makes it easier to complete it, i would like a more challenging metroid game
@@JaimeDuendeDeGongora The difficulty is pretty unbalanced though, even in the trilogy version. It's too easy to clear through 90% of the game with 3-4 energy tanks, get your absolute shit kicked in by 1 boss, and then have the game go back to being too easy. Having those extra energy tanks make it somewhat bearable
6yrs late but on dark samus fight dont run from the homing phason particle blasts. Charge up the power beam and suck them in and return fire. Those homing blasts are your friend.
So they decided that the countdown timer wasn't enough huh? "Oh let's throw in one more boss you have to fight and if you're not quick enough it's game over." Now... THAT'S MORE LIKE IT NINTENDO! The escape sequence should have also been in the first game imo. Putting a final boss is pushing it but hey sometimes a challenge can be good :)
It's crazy to see all these idiots who are not respectful towards this person. Certainly he's not very good (or wasn't very good) but that's not a reason. And not everyone has the luxury of being strong the first time. Would you like people to disrespect you because you're not good at something? No. So don't do the same.
Definitely. In the boss battle against final Dark Samus on the Wii for MP2: Echoes, to get the damage you do with a super missile, you'd have to use the super blast from the Annihilator beam.
The patterns are the exact same, the only difference is that they go down faster, making an enemy a damage sponge isn't really making it harder, is just making it tedious.
@@firestarex3544 yes, those things are much worse. I mean the X alone would be too much, imagine if those Ings would had spread everywhere? But it seems that the Ing doesn't multiply as fast the X though. Also could you imagine if both creatures ended up infecting one another and what we have is a new type of hybrid creature that is much worse than both separated? I think everyone would be screwed for sure!
Yup. The X are terrifying in their own right but their limited to absorbing organic matter and recreating it to better suit their needs The Ing can, will and have taken over machines of war built specifically to kill them and can possess living creatures to enhance themselves just like the X The only reason the Ing weren't a galactic threat is because they were so focused on finishing off Aether first before moving on. Had they spread to other planets even Samus wouldn't have been able to do much to stop them. The only reason she won here was because she pulled them out by the root before they could really grow into a serious threat
Ken Elder I can relate but instead of being creeped out. When I saw his final form I thought of it being so cool and badass. But I was at least 6-10 at the time too instead.
Oh dear lord...that last dark samus fight your suppose charge beam to collect the phazon she shoots at you then fire it back at her making vulnerable then just unleash all your other weapons while shes stunned. Shes not that hard. Did you really just boss rush her without even trying to understand the mechanics?
Lol this is not a good reference if someone else forgot how to defeat Dark Samus and looked it up. But i gotta hand it to you, you got Emperor Ing way faster than I did as a kid.
Sigh, the amount of seething in the comments. Yeah, he doesn't play very well but at least he made right use of limited beams. If you think this boss was annoying on Normal mode, then Hyper was way worse
@@gokublack8342 You may be, but your strength is not universal. Personally, the difficulty of Metroid Dread is easy in my case, but I would never say that it is easy for everyone (except as a joke).
Here's something interesting whales fighting phase 3 when the boss keeps clamping its mouth shut jump behind it and there's a hole to hit the weak spot from
Take note that the Emperor Ing Eye is a missable scan.
This also goes for Dark Samus 4.
I never knew that other people have missed the Emperor Ing's Eye. It never happened to me when I play Metroid Prime 2.

Main thing that annoyed me about this boss was in his final form that front leg got in the way of 50% of your attacks.

Gotta admit, this was a really impatient fight
It's crazy to see all these idiots who are not respectful towards this person.
Certainly he's not very good (or wasn't very good) but that's not a reason. And not everyone has the luxury of being strong the first time.
Would you like people to disrespect you because you're not good at something? No. So don't do the same.
Man, the Wii really nerfed these Metroid bosses. A regular shot on this system is as strong as a charged shot on the Gamecube.
Wow, really? Even on the Veteran mode? (Gamecube's equivalent to normal)
Definitely. In the boss battle against final Dark Samus on the Wii for MP2: Echoes, to get the damage you do with a super missile, you'd have to use the super blast from the Annihilator beam.
But isn't the only, actual effective combo the Super Missile? All the other beam combos move too slowly and do horrible damage,
Eh. They were never really hard anyways, I'm just glad they're not massive bullet sponges anymore.
The patterns are the exact same, the only difference is that they go down faster, making an enemy a damage sponge isn't really making it harder, is just making it tedious.
Is it ok to say that ing are much worse and scarier than the x?
If the Ing figured out a way to escape their dimension safely they would absolutely dominate.
@@firestarex3544 yes, those things are much worse. I mean the X alone would be too much, imagine if those Ings would had spread everywhere? But it seems that the Ing doesn't multiply as fast the X though. Also could you imagine if both creatures ended up infecting one another and what we have is a new type of hybrid creature that is much worse than both separated? I think everyone would be screwed for sure!
Yup. The X are terrifying in their own right but their limited to absorbing organic matter and recreating it to better suit their needs
The Ing can, will and have taken over machines of war built specifically to kill them and can possess living creatures to enhance themselves just like the X
The only reason the Ing weren't a galactic threat is because they were so focused on finishing off Aether first before moving on. Had they spread to other planets even Samus wouldn't have been able to do much to stop them. The only reason she won here was because she pulled them out by the root before they could really grow into a serious threat
Is it just me or is the guy playing here really bad...?
I'll say. how did this guy not know to Scan the Emperor Ing's Eye?
Well try playing this on hard mode, then say he's bad
Idk about y'all but I hate boss fight videos where the person doesn't struggle at least a little bit
@@jogsi1558 It's not hard mode. The boss's health is drained really fast .
better than me lmao
I got to admit, this boss creeped me out back when I saw it in Middle School...
Ken Elder
I can relate but instead of being creeped out. When I saw his final form I thought of it being so cool and badass. But I was at least 6-10 at the time too instead.
you mean you saw it in your school?
Darle samus es la combinación de Metroids con phazon y phazon suit ?
The last time I saw him he has lots of firepower
hmmm you must be playing on the Gamecube then? the boss fights have been made a little bit easier on the wii than on the cube
Tsumefan2 i don’t play GameCube and I don’t know what it is plus I’ve never played metroid
@@Apollodragon-mb2cq wtf
No Charge combos? Come on!
This is the most hardest boss in all of the Metroid serie 5 battle!
Did you seriously record yourself pausing the game and looking up a guide on the obvious way to defeat Dark Samus?
A very honest attempt, love it
12:57
The Spider-Man pointing meme
Uhhh why upload a video where u don't actually beat the boss lol
I used the sonic boom against dark samus and took out like a third of her health lmao. Perhaps the most badass weapon in the whole trilogy.
Quite cringy watching you not using the phazon energy, xD i was like come onnn
kinda wish the HUD in this game didn't take like 75% of the screen
I think you can decrease its opacity to 0 in options
one of my favorite bosses next yo parasite queen and berserker lord
justin hepburn Fuck this poorly designed boss
Anyone ever hit the 3rd form through the hole in the back of its body?
DO U EVEN PRIME 2!?!?
1:30 I hope you've gotten used to that sound effect, cause you're gonna be hearing it a lot in this fight...
I got used to it in the Phazon Mines
THis can´t be Hypermode. You die if you play like that.
he did die anyway :)
I was disapointed with the final battle. When I was 11-12, I played this game in Gamecube, and I could defeat Dark Samus in less than 5 minutes. :/
And why u are dissapointed? Whats the matter with the age? Or the 5 Minutes? This Game is perfect for Peopel with this age which u had ^^
you're supposed to beat her in like 5 minutes lmao there's the timer for a reason
The point is this video's player is a huge dumbass and couldn't kill time effectively.
Oh dear lord...that last dark samus fight your suppose charge beam to collect the phazon she shoots at you then fire it back at her making vulnerable then just unleash all your other weapons while shes stunned. Shes not that hard. Did you really just boss rush her without even trying to understand the mechanics?
WARING VERY L O U D 2:24
Lol this is not a good reference if someone else forgot how to defeat Dark Samus and looked it up. But i gotta hand it to you, you got Emperor Ing way faster than I did as a kid.
so its a mixture of light and dark?
Yes, cause is a dark creature that ate light and also phazon, but phazon just made it a lot stronger.
just like annihilator beam?
6:40. Shit just got Real.
men para la proxima se puede absorber las particulas pequeñas que suelta con el cañon oscuro suerte
Me & Julio Vs The Emperor Of Chaos
HAHAHA what a bad run, bold to upload it
You uh… have a nice wii menu there…
Sigh, the amount of seething in the comments. Yeah, he doesn't play very well but at least he made right use of limited beams. If you think this boss was annoying on Normal mode, then Hyper was way worse
Hyper still isn't challenging enough
@@gokublack8342 You may be, but your strength is not universal.
Personally, the difficulty of Metroid Dread is easy in my case, but I would never say that it is easy for everyone (except as a joke).
Here's something interesting whales fighting phase 3 when the boss keeps clamping its mouth shut jump behind it and there's a hole to hit the weak spot from
I wonder how much uglier emperor Ing will look if this game ever gets a HD Remaster.
I have lost my time
Nope, this boss-fight has beaten me; I give up.
But the bad ending says samus does not fighting dark samus
holy shit dude, was this your first time? Face-tanking the whole fight lmao wtf
Great video, but way too many ads.
I hate the hitbox of the 3° phase its so bad, so difficult and iconsistant to hit
Final inesperado :v
Yeah you didn't beat him.
jajajajaja así me morí las primeras veces. no podía matar a dark samus :( pero luego llego youtube y lo pase en el 2008 XD
Is monster is hungry and eats
Jump guardians my fave wii u
