Metroid Prime - Episode 17: A Cool, Cool Day of Collecting
0In today's episode of the "Metroid Prime" playthrough, we collect all of the remaining items in Phendrana Drifts.
Since we have every major ability (except one that's only really used to get a single Chozo Artifact), we can start our final sweep of the four main areas in the game, starting with Phendrana Drifts. Thankfully, a lot of these collectables more or less consist of blasting icy surfaces with the Plasma Beam and/or using the Grapple Beam to reach them.
However, as you can see in the video, there's one missile expansion that isn't so easy to get (at least for me). Essentially, in the Frost Cave, you need to use the Grapple Beam on the ray creature so that you can reach the upper platform and blast the giant stalactite above you; but what the game doesn't tell you is that you have to hit the stalactite's weakpoint three times. As such, instead of making the same mistake that I did and start randomly blasting all over the stalactite, complete with shooting missiles while jumping off of the platform's ledge, after the first shot does nothing, just stand your ground and shoot the off-color portion until it falls.
Nevertheless, we came out of this episode with a good haul consisting of five missile expansions, two Chozo Artifacts, two Power Bomb expansions, and the penultimate energy tank.
