shaft leading up. Climb up the long pillar of crumbling blocks, near the
top you'll find a door leading to a Missile Tank (you might have already
grabbed this one if you came this way to Kraid's room). Once you've got
you'll have found everything here, so it's time to track down the second
mini-boss, Ridley.
.:---------------------(3.4 RIDLEY'S HELLHOLE)--------------------------:.
Make your way back up to Brinstar, then go all the way back to Norfair.
Once down in Norfair, we'll be going down to find a new area to explore,
Ridley's Hideout. Below the elevator head right and cross the lava-filled
corridor to reach the huge purple shaft. Drop down to the absolute very
bottom of the huge shaft (remember to bomb through the "apparent" solid
floor half-way down) then head through the door there. Cross the long sea
of lava in the next corridor, then drop down the next shaft and head right
to find the elevator leading down. Ride it down to reach Ridley's Hideout,
where you'll be treated to an unusual music theme. The last few items to be
found in the game are here, as well as Ridley.
Go through the left door below the elevator to find a narrow corridor.
Cross through the left door to find an identical room. In this room, shoot
open the roof directly above the right door and jump up to find a hidden
room. Go through the door on the left and cross the corridor to find a
Missile Tank. Go back down to the narrow corridor and head left to find a
long corridor filled with a multitude of enemies, but the Screw Attack will
make short work of them all. If you go to the far left of this room, you'll
find a high wall blocking the way, but there is a way around. Go back right
and find the first pillar of crumbling blocks from the right end of the
corridor. Between this pillar and the next, bomb open a hole in the floor,
then drop down and roll to the left to crawl under the wall. Blow open the
red door and head inside to find an Energy Tank in a narrow corridor. Be
careful as the second and third blocks to the right of the tank conceal a
hidden tunnel leading down, so time your jump to make it to the Energy
Tank. At this point you'll have already found the maximum of six Energy
Tanks, so this one will fill them all up. Once you've grabbed it drop down
the hidden tunnel and head right at the bottom. Cross the next corridor to
find yourself at the top of a shaft leading down. Through the door on the
right you'll be able to reach a Missile Tank, but you'll need to time your
jump over the hole to avoid falling down the shaft, making this one of the
hardest Missiles to reach in the game. If you miss it you'll have to come
back around for it, so get ready for a challenge.
*Note* Thanks to Floral Crafters for this handy hint which will help you
get through the gap much easier. If you use the Bomb Jump Trick you'll have
a better chance of crossing the gap. Set yourself up by activating the
Morph Ball and sitting on the second block from the edge on the platform
you'll be jumping from. Plant a bomb here and quickly roll over to the
block at the edge of the platform. Once the bomb detonates it'll propel you
over into the gap, where you'll need to quickly press Up on the D-Pad when
Samus is in mid-air. Once she stands up, press A to jump up in mid-air and
hold right to hug the wall on the opposite platform. If done correctly you
should be able to sneak into the opening on the right without any trouble.
Once you've got the Missile (or couldn't be bothered trying to get it),
drop down the shaft and head left. Cross the next corridor's sea of lava,
then head through the door at the end to face Ridley.
Mini-boss: Ridley
Like Kraid, Ridley will stay up on his platform for most of the battle
while flapping his wings to jump up and down. He'll also often spit
out five small fireballs that fly about at Samus, you can easily
freeze them with the Ice Beam. Doing so will stop Ridley from spitting
any more fireballs until they unfreeze and hit a wall. You can by all
means use Missiles against Ridley, but instead we'll get our hands
dirty again. Jump up to his platform and activate the Morphing Ball,
then begin your barrage of bombs. Plant them all over Ridley, but
don't worry about losing health. Whenever he spits fireballs stand up
and freeze them. Continue your assault of bombings and you'll beat
Ridley in no time. Once he blows you'll receive an extra 75 Missiles.
Now there's only two more items to find before leaving. Shoot down the door
on the left side of Ridley's room with 10 Missiles, then head inside to
find a sea of lava leading left. Most of the lava's fake and you can stand
on it, cross the corridor to find the final Energy Tank in the corner, grab
it to fill up your energy. Leave this room and cross the series of
corridors on the right until you reach a large shaft leading up. Drop down
to the bottom and head left to find a corridor filled with enemies. Head
left to eventually find the last Missile Tank, once you've grabbed it you
can finally leave. Go back to the shaft, climb up to the top and head left
to eventually reach the elevator. Travel back through Norfair and up to
Brinstar.
.:---------------------(3.5 FINAL CONFRONTATION)------------------------:.
The time has finally come for us to enter Tourian - the Mother Brain's lair
- and do away with the Pirates and their Metroids. If you don't have the
Ice Beam, make sure to go and get one, as you won't stand a chance against
the Metroids without it. Getting to Tourian won't be a problem, once you're
back in Brinstar, go back to the gigantic blue shaft near where you started
the game. Climb up to the very top and head left. Cross the next long
corridor and blast through the red door at the end to locate the Statue
Room. In here, you won't be able to proceed until both Kraid and Ridley are
dead. As you've dealt with them, both statues representing Kraid and Ridley
will be flashing, shoot both of them to reveal a bridge leading to the door
on the left. Head through the door and ride down the elevator to enter
Tourian.
Traversing through Tourian will be easy, it's the enemies you'll have to
watch out for. Below in this first shaft you'll face a number of Metroids,
