Walk Me Thru Metroid Fusion Part 9
0Nightmare X Boss Fight
Remember that shadow you saw floating around in Sector 5 (ARC)? It was Nightmare's shadow. He has caused too much destruction in Sector 5 (ARC), and must be destroyed. His location cannot be confirmed, so you have to find him yourself. He is pretty easy to find. When you first go through the eye door, use a power bomb. Jump into the little morph ball passage, and grab an energy tank. Then fall through the fake floors, and Nightmare will rise.
Phase 1
To begin the fight, you have to destroy his gravity manipulator. To damage the manipulator, you can lure Nightmare up by jumping high, then coming down and getting a shot or two at it using a charged beam or a missile. Alternatively, you can stay under Nightmare in its first phase, as Nightmare only stays in one spot while hovering horizontally, and whenever Nightmare would come down, you could roll into a Morph Ball and stay out of harm's way, then come back and shoot the manipulator with more missiles and charged shots.
Phase 2
Once it has been sufficiently damaged, he will start using his gravity manipulator, which will make your jumps lower, space jumps impossible, your run slower, the room wavy, and render your missiles almost useless, stopping and falling mid-flight, forcing you to fire charged shots or fire missiles point blank. When the manipulator is destroyed, his mask is destroyed, exposing his hideous face.
Phase 3
Now you have to blast missiles at his face. You can only blast him from the side, not from above or below. Get onto the ladder and shoot at his weak spot. When he is just about to hit you, get off the ladder when theres a gap in the laser shots. He will then fly around the room chasing you-space jump around him until he gets to the middle right area of the room. If he hits you he'll keep flying around the room. Get back onto the ladder and resume blasting more missiles into his face. Eventually he will turn into a usual Core X. Defeat it and recover the Gravity Suit.
