Omg yesss!!!! I remember using the sonic boom at one point to land some damage. That blast was fast, but the windup really killed me prior to landing the shot
kruvik funny enough, when I played Metroid Prime 2, I only died twice. Once at the very beginning somewhere and once at the bomb guardian I don’t know how I managed to pull that off XD
My friend and I played through the game together taking turns. When we first fought Emperors Ing's Final Form he warned me, that almost all Bosses have a ramming attack, which is also among there strongest attacks. As soon as he said that, Emperor went in his preparing-to-charge stance and trampled over me, getting me completly off-guard, knocking me in the Phazon. I must have lost 2-3 health containers to that. When we both snapped out what just happend, he's just said: "See? Told you!"
I can't put into words how much I love this game, and the bosses are definitely one of the main reasons why I do so. Like, from guardians like Boost, Grapple, Power Bomb, to the big boys Amorbis, Chykka, Quadraxis (my favorite), Dark Samus and the best boss fight in the trilogy, Emperor Ing. It's difficult sure, but I am here for the difficulty (except Spider Guardian on the GC version) and just combat in general feels way more engaging, dynamic and refined than Prime 1. If I had to choose one game to play in the trilogy, I'll gladly take Echoes over Corruption and Prime 1 any day (Still love all 3 of them).
Man i remember me and my cousin took years to beat this game. LITERALLY YEARS. all because we couldn't find the damned temple keys until we got access to the internet for the first time. When we reached this boss we died so many times. Oh the memories.
Clues given are written text where the keys are turned in, dead luminoth solders in light world equivalent, areas accessible only with light armor, red floating specks in that drain health, and unexplored areas in the dark world. When the key hunt began I had enough hints to know where half the keys were, using the clues lead me to the rest. Knowing what to look for helps a great deal.
One of my absolute favorite final boss themes. (Yeah, I regard the Emperor Ing as the final boss and not the Dark Samus fight during the end of the escape.)
@@maxrichards3881 I agree to this. Even though Quadraxis is my favorite fight personally because of how unique it is, how it makes use of almost everything you acquired and what a spectacle the fight is, Emperor Ing is the best fight because the stakes are really high, the fight is epic as hell, difficult as it should be for the ruler of the Ing and the music is amazing.
I like the sadness this theme conveys. Emperor Ing is desperately fighting to save its homeworld, and will fight to the death to protect it. That almost makes you feel sorry for fighting it, until you remember that the Ing almost did the exact same thing to the Luminoth and would probably do so again if Samus spared them.
As much as i love prime 1 and 3 ... i agree! ... Aurora Unit 313 is pretty easy but its the time you have to worry about! Prime himself in MP1 is easy as well! ...
Honestly prime 2 is my favorite out of all the prime games but it's also the only metroid game I could never beat for the longest time. As a kid I had no problems beating the emperor ing, but dark samus kicked my ass every single time. Then I would rage quit when the game would load my save back to before you beat the emperor ing... I replayed the game years later and beat it but that whole fight still gives me anxiety.
Yeah me and my brother were lucky enough to get a strategy guide for the game, and looking back at it I have no idea how we would have beaten the game as kids had we not.
For me it was the opposite problem. Fighting Dark Samus wasn't too difficult once I figured out how the fight worked, but Emperor Ing kicks my ass every single time
I also had problems with the final Dark Samus fight. I thought you had to charge your power beam at the EXACT moment the phazon particles hit your arm cannon to absorb it... and it felt almost impossible getting that. Years later I learned that you could just keep your beam charged the whole time, haha.
took me a long time to figure out that the best weapon against this guy was the annihilator beam when his heart was light or dark. Don't have to worry too much about him avoiding the attacks unless his mouth was closed.
Thanks for uploading this. Metroid Prime 2 is one of my favourite Metroid games, and this final boss theme is a masterpiece. Hope you are doing well :)
this bastard was a pain and a half on hard too.... but it felt so great to conquer it. as if i just took out a dark world god or something. music give me the CHILLS
I played the game at least 5 times but never faced the final boss in full, although I experencied almost everything the game could offer including all the items and the multiplayer which was a lot of fun despite being limited.
Yeah, people who say the Resident Evil games are the scariest video games out there, have never played a Metroid Prime game. Because the shit me and my old friend saw when we first played the trilogy, scared the hell out of us.
hmm sadly the more darker games from nintendo are all very old by now, like Twilight Princess and the Metroid Prime series. Let's hope that the next zelda game isnt another BotW and that Metroid Prime 4 will be great again.
@@yanami1241 Oh yeah, remember how at one point, they someone in Nintendo tried to say the Prime games were no longer canon to the series? Do those pansies really hate dark and gritty stuff that much?
@@kruvik I had a physical copy of the player's guide, but it got torn up by our dogs, as one of them was a little rowdy as a puppy. We still have a prime 3 guide, if that counts for any swag.
aren't ing made up of phazon? they were created when the leviathan hit Aether, so it does make sense/fit that there are phazon motifs in the boss fight here
![Zanza the Divine - Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition OST [035] [DE]](/img/n.gif)
when the bastard closed his mouth exactly when you fired a powerful, huge ammo-wasting attack
Amen to that. Was annoying as hell and you waste ammo.
@@hegotaspare that was why i only energy beam and super missile
Omg yesss!!!! I remember using the sonic boom at one point to land some damage. That blast was fast, but the windup really killed me prior to landing the shot
When you destroy 75% of his health with one screw attack
@@KorenLesthe I only pulled that off once, on accident. On purpose? Never.
When the final boss uses music from the theme of the game, it's about to go down.
I always loved that part. Not so much the fight where I died countless times though...
@@kruvik It's been awhile, but I think it only took me two or three tries to beat Emperor Ing. Dark Samus took about seven tries.
@@ianfinrir8724 On hard?
@@kruvik Normal.
@@ianfinrir8724 That's definitely more bearable.
When the main theme of the game is part of the final boss theme you know you’re fucked.
When I first blew the egg up and the music started playing, I was happy and thought the battle was over until Samus aimed her cannon 😭😭😂
And then the actual hard part begins... I died so often there!
I found the first phase harder. I died on it several times the first time i played but one shoted the second phase.
@@user-ek2sm8gw9m Unfortunately, I died often in both parts...
kruvik funny enough, when I played Metroid Prime 2, I only died twice. Once at the very beginning somewhere and once at the bomb guardian
I don’t know how I managed to pull that off XD
@@silv2309 I died countless times fighting the bomb guardian... Imo, the hardest boss in Prime 1 and 2.

@@airistal Yepp, that's what I liked about the series. It taught me how to read better.
@@UltraGamma25 I really like how the clues are given through the lore and worldbuilding, too. The Prime games are great for that
Same. But it was prime 1 for me. That one artifact in phendrana drifts
One of my absolute favorite final boss themes. (Yeah, I regard the Emperor Ing as the final boss and not the Dark Samus fight during the end of the escape.)
One of the most epic boss fights. Asides Quadraxis
I find Emperor Ing rather creepy...
kruvik but thats what makes it all the more suspenceful
Indeed, that's a reason I love the series!
Fuck that! Emperor omg is the best boss battle in the franchise, Quadraxis is just a close 2nd.
@@maxrichards3881 I agree to this.

I was quite impressed that I was able to beat this boss 1st try considering I had no prior knowledge....but then I died to dark samus straight after
@Wade Watts haha yh. I got the prime trilogy from the e shop since it was the cheapest way to get all 3 games and I didn't read the manual haha
tbh dark samus kinda throws an odd mechanic at you that is only used on the fight and is not as obvious as the machine gun phazon beam
I like the sadness this theme conveys. Emperor Ing is desperately fighting to save its homeworld, and will fight to the death to protect it.
That almost makes you feel sorry for fighting it, until you remember that the Ing almost did the exact same thing to the Luminoth and would probably do so again if Samus spared them.
Still the best boss fight in the trilogy

Aurora Unit 313 is pretty easy but its the time you have to worry about!
Prime himself in MP1 is easy as well! ...
@@venar4248 prime 1 has best
Definitely the most challenging final boss.

Honestly prime 2 is my favorite out of all the prime games but it's also the only metroid game I could never beat for the longest time. As a kid I had no problems beating the emperor ing, but dark samus kicked my ass every single time. Then I would rage quit when the game would load my save back to before you beat the emperor ing... I replayed the game years later and beat it but that whole fight still gives me anxiety.
I understand. Dark Samus was doable though. My biggest problem, to this day, is beating Emperor Ing. ESPECIALLY on hard difficulty...
@@kruvik Yeah, Emperor Ing sucks on hard. I've played Prime 2 since I was a kid, and I still game over against him.
Yeah me and my brother were lucky enough to get a strategy guide for the game, and looking back at it I have no idea how we would have beaten the game as kids had we not.

Still takes me quite a few tries to beat him...
My favorite metroid final boss of all the games!
I swear, this reminds me of the Rundas battle theme from prime 3
Thanks for uploading this. Metroid Prime 2 is one of my favourite Metroid games, and this final boss theme is a masterpiece. Hope you are doing well :)
Glad you enjoy it. I'm doing alright. Hope you're well as well.
I beat this second phase first try, but my low energy alarm was going off when I landed the final hit.
When he jumps in the air to send those powerful waves.
1:11 I love how the beat changes here, when im thinking of this theme this is where i start. love the rattling tambourine.
Overall this is probably one of my favorite Prime 2 boss themes.
Truly unnatural and truly alien in nature
this bastard was a pain and a half on hard too.... but it felt so great to conquer it. as if i just took out a dark world god or something. music give me the CHILLS
This and VS. Emperor Ing Chrysalis are my favourite boss themes in the trilogy.
Same for me. I think Quadraxis theme is nice still but I don't really care for the other boss themes. The eerie ambient music is where it's at!
@@kruvik indeed 🤩
Me yelling at the boss because I'm out of beam ammo
Never played any Metroid game before, but judging from the soundtrack, it's a good franchise. Well, the popularity probably gave that away anyway. lol
It's worth it! The 3D games are one of a kind.
THE FUCKING INTRO, FUCK YES
Wish it was longer or played again...
A wild Sophia Durden- Spider Form wants to battle. *you run but only into more web*
I played the game at least 5 times but never faced the final boss in full, although I experencied almost everything the game could offer including all the items and the multiplayer which was a lot of fun despite being limited.
Why did you never finish the game?
And they say Nintendo is for kids
some games are certainly not, that's why they need to be rated separately

Go play Majoras mask
Metroid Prime 4 is real 🥹🥹🥹🥹
It is! And it looks still like the old games which I really like - high hopes!
Epic fight🤘
Not gonna lie, after playing prime remastered and wanting to play this afterwards it's kind of starting to show its age.
"starting to show its age" still sounds pretty good for a 19 year old game...
@@kruvik You know what, that's fair, the prime remaster spoiled me lol
It's a good thing that I had the players guide to help me beat the boss 🙌 😎 💪
Physical copy (if that exists)?
@@kruvik I don't think it's an old Nintendo magazine guide that i have.
@@kruvik I had a physical copy of the player's guide, but it got torn up by our dogs, as one of them was a little rowdy as a puppy. We still have a prime 3 guide, if that counts for any swag.
hope that prime 4 will have as good as bosses and level design as prime 2
😍
This should have been Metroid primes theme. Fits Soo much more being decked out and phazon enhanced. Feels odd to find this in echoes boss???
Well, it's not like it doesn't fit to Emperor Ing...
aren't ing made up of phazon? they were created when the leviathan hit Aether, so it does make sense/fit that there are phazon motifs in the boss fight here
@@Killzone-cr2od they are not made from phazon. The meteorite actually opened a portal to another dimension
Loved this game ("HATE") the spider boss
