    Remember when she had more appearances in the previous game? Well, she masterminds everything here...
    Key Notes:
    Boss: Dark Samus
    - SCAN HER!
    - She has a wide variety of attacks, some of them being familiar:
    1) Multiple Phazon shots.
    2) Larger and slower Phazon homing shots.
    3) Phazon vine barrier whenever you get close to her.
    4) Phazon clones, which she can essentially multi-task. Destroying the clones can yield Phazon units, just like the Phazon crystals she uses to make shields.
    5) When she's using clones, she can use other attacks, like a spinning double-sided beam (which can be dodged with the Morph Ball), a creepy moving dance session to bump into you, and simple rushing blows.
    6) And she's not complete without an overhead laser beam attack.
    - She can REGENERATE health but you can stop her from doing so.
    - Phazon units can be obtained from destroying the Phazon pillars and the clones.
    - To identify the real Dark Samus, use the X-Ray Visor.
    FINAL Boss: Aurora Unit 313
    - SCAN IT!
    - The way to damage this is by first damaging its tentacles. This will enable you to shoot the glowing yellow holes, prompting it to go haywire and crash down. You must then pull open its armor to reveal its weak point.
    - As a way of self-defense, it can create Dark Samus copies, shoot a nasty laser beam with a damaging barrier, and let cannons shoot homing blasts.
    - Once you deplete the whole bar, it will turn into a floating brain. To damage its weak point, shoot the hatch that pops down from underneath its body.
    - However, it won't let you damage it so simply. It will shoot four lasers all over the place, and spin and ram itself at you on the floor.
    Watch, enjoy, and comment, everyone.

      I would raise you and say that the SA-X from fusion is the the best antagonist due to the fact that it is Samus at her strongest which scares her and when she learns that it is multiplying then she automatically knows it's a threat to the universe and needs to be destroyed by any means.

    • @KyTheGamer
      @KyTheGamer 3 роки тому +29

      @Ironeagle 777 Highly doubtful that would happen. Dark Samus is originally a Metroid. The central lore point of Metroid Fusion is that Metroids are the natural predators of X-Parasites. It's the entire reason that Samus is given Metroid DNA in the first place. In fact the SA-X attacks an Omega Metroid at the end of Fusion, and gets completely wiped out by it so...

    "As she dies in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, the camera pans to Dark Samus' raised left fist. She opens it quickly, mirroring the scene of her "birth" in the ending of Metroid Prime where her open hand clenches into a fist. After her death, the scene cuts to the bubbling Phazon seed within Samus disappearing, completing the imagery of the festering pool of Phazon that Dark Samus was derived from."

    Reading again the description of Dark Samus... Basically it was a race. Samus is like 90% corrupted by phazon and Dark Samus is made by phazon but HIGHLY UNSTABLE and can be disrupted by own Phazon based attacks... So both the hero and the villain are in the same situation with the same "weapon".
    Samus had to defeat Dark Samus before get 100% corrupted by phazon. And Dark Samus had to beat Samus before she disrupted her phazon based form to 100%

Oh and btw Dark Samus has a regular roll instead of the morph ball which already makes it so much better than regular Samus because the morph ball is slow. And Dark Samus' bombs send her more horizontally, possibly improving recovery and making the bomb actually useful lol.

  • @kangtheguardian1214
    @kangtheguardian1214 6 років тому +228

    Very likely the most powerful villain Samus has ever faced, and far from just because she was Samus' physical equal. This thing made Ridley and the Space Pirates worship her like a god, she could reform herself even when her whole body was pulverized, and in the end it required Samus to be in permanent hyper mode and one of the longest boss fights in the series' history to take her down, and even then they had to make sure to blow up an entire planet serving as her power source to end her for good. If Dark Samus STILL somehow survived all this to return in Prime 4, she's straight up one of the most terrifying villains in all of Nintendo.

    • @zetacentauri5654
      @zetacentauri5654 6 років тому +63

      I really hope they don't bring her back though. There's no real way to have it make sense, as all the source Phazon in the universe is gone. If its a secret boss or a fun easter egg I think it could work, but I hope they use a different avenue.

    • @kangtheguardian1214
      @kangtheguardian1214 6 років тому +46

      I agree that it would be rather difficult to bring her back in a good way, but the problem then arises in what the story of Prime 4 will be instead. Prime 3's 100% ending and Federation Force is painting up Sylux as the next big bad, but will he alone be enough to carry the story of one of the most anticipated Nintendo games ever? People's expectations are sky-high for Prime 4, and if all we get is some petty revenge story between Samus and Sylux without any ties whatsoever to phazon or Dark Samus, it will be a massive disappointment.

      Sylux is shaping up to be a pretty cool bad guy , especially if you look at his tech which seems to be based on metroids , he could have been the federations attempt at a Dark Samus of sorts gone wrong . Plus if phazon is still alive in any form in the next prime there could be a return of dark samus through his body(since she's known for possessing people).

    It's interesting to note, that Samus' descent into the depths of Planet Phaaze was almost a sacrificial point of no return. Although, one could also see this as her saying to herself "I'm AM Samus Aran afterall...and if I don't take care of this, no one will (or can rather)" This is up for debate and interpretation, but it just add more depth to Samus as a protagonist and who she is as a person.

    Dark Samus is surprisingly amazing.when you look for a goal she has had in all the games you notice two things . The first goal of hers is a motherly sort of love , a want to defend the metroids , this appears in every game , but gets twisted in prime 3 when her insanity is at it's highest. Her second goal was to become stronger , this is shown in Metroid Prime when she steals Samus's suit, prime two when she sponges phazon to the point of falling apart, and prime three when she upped her goal and decided to attach herself to Phaze and gain near godly abilitys.
    So if Dark Samus had a personality , it would be a power/god complex kinda villain, like Dio Brando who just wants to be stronger than Jojo.

    Thank you so much for this walkthrough! Wow, this MF was hard to kill. Each of it's 3 transformations require several steps to kill. I just barely it LOL I was about to die, and I got it with my last shots in the nick of time. Here are some of my tips that helped me out!
    1. For Dark Samus (DS). You can actually interrupt DS, when you shoot a rocket at it--DS will stop and use it's spike shield instead. This is helpful when DS shoots its rapid fire, because that attack is really hard to dodge (note: kind of hard to do because rapid fire moves across the screen quickly). Doesn't always work. There's certain moves that DS will just execute without bothering to use spike shield.
    *I like to take out the DS twins as quickly as possible. It's easier to do when they're floating in air with that blue shield around them. They also leave health.
    *Do NOT go between DS twins, when they are horizontally shooting yellow laser. Why? You're more likely to be physically crashed into. It's best to stay outside their circle as a morph ball and use your electric attack.
    *Be sure constantly move around. ALWAYS ALWAYS move around the arena! This will help you to keep your yellow gauge empty. Try to keep track of where DS is, especially when it clones itself into 3.
    *As a general rule for all three bosses, shoot only when you have a clear shot--or a good chance of landing your attack. That way you keep that yellow gauge down.
    -->With all these tactics (including video's =) I left this battle with a tiny amount of my yellow gauge, sometimes I left with it completely empty.
    2nd boss Aurora Unit 313.Tricky MF.
    *Don't shot that weird camera looking thing that pops out for a second.
    *For the purple tentacles. Shot the first one, then quickly move to the second and STAY there. When you see the yellow light in the 2nd tentacles place, shoot it! I've had more success damaging this bitch with that method.
    *Try NOT to stay in the area where you first start fighting this thing. It's an awkward space that gets you stuck. This purple laser is also dangerous and delivers lots of damage.
    ***ALWAYS keep an eye on the spine. It's strongest attack is it's purple laser. Spine will run electricity through itself and then shoots laser. As soon as you see the electricity in spine, turn into a morph ball and speed the F*ck out of there. It first shoots laser at the farthest end; I've been able to dodge by being a bit more closer to the monster (kind of hard to do LOL)There's also a pattern here in regards to the spine and its electricity. If it shoots laser, the next attack will be 3 white Samus clones. What I did was keep track--For ex, dodged laser, ok next attack, Samus triplets, alright next attack laser, ok next attack Samus triplets. Remember, both of these attacks preceded by electricity in the spinal cord LOL
    *Samus triplets. I locked on to one, and destroyed as fast as I could. Again, move around and dodge. Shoot only when you have a good shot to keep that yellow death meter down. I especially dodged when Samus clones turned into a morph ball; they are harder to hit in that form. Also, you don't need to kill all three.
    *After tearing head open, I like to shoot it's brain instead of firing missiles. LOL I caused more damage with the canon.
    *When it sinks its head into the ground to fire it's red blasts, can easily dodge attacks with boosting morph ball. I tried shooting these things, they don't leave anything behind. I found myself getting hit, when I tried shooting blasts.
    3rd Aurora Unit-Head Final Form.
    *I tried NOT to stay under it as it was shooting yellow lasers, because the monster itself will just fall on you. It hate those damn lasers! I found it useful to shoot it while it was executing this attack.
    *While it's spinning around on the floor, you could paralyze it with a screw attack. Make sure it's across the room and you have a clear shot. Remember, jump, stay in the air for a bit, and then quickly tap B button. I couldn't get that damn move to work LOL

Also (I'm not sure about this though) there is still corrupted enemies and phazon pools are still on the planets previously visited (again, not sure).

      oh yeah, when you scan AU 313 it says that it is symbiotically connected to phase suggesting that phase was a normal planet used by the GF but was abandoned (explaining how they let it corrupt and the distance and how the coordinates are found on an old GF vessel) so phazon could return BUT it might not IF phaze was indeed the first corrupted planet and sent some sort of pulse destroying all phazon in a large area.
