When DS fires a missile just walk left and walk forward then right and back again to dodge the missile(while locked on trust me).(also can be used by moving in the opposite directions.)Įveryone probabally knows this already, but if you suck in more than three snowflakes, your 'Phazon Missile' does more damage.
DARK SAMUS METROID PRIME 4 FULL
This is a funny trick but rather useless or might be use full in a no E-tank game. You can prevent this easily just by space jumping backwards as she approaches (useful in a no-energy tank game).
While DS is not in bubble mode, her only means of attack is a melee-style phazon shield attack. While trying to grab the Phazon "snowflakes", jump while doing so, so if you miss one, it does not dammage you and make you have to wait for DS to launch more Phazon "snowflakes" You can use both my stratige or Zxcvbnm's to predict DS's next Attack. When DS is about to fire a missile the phazon bubble around her is normal, but when Ds is about to fire phazon snow flakes at you the phazon bubble enlarges. The missile is much louder and more mechanical-sounding. If you turn the sound on, you can hear an audio cue before DS fires a homing missile as opposed to Phazon "snowflakes," and dodge it. All you have to do is lock on to her and slowly strafe a few inches to the side as the thing is flying at you. You don't need to strafe dash to avoid them, or back against a wall for that matter. Just a minor note: Those super missiles she shoots in bubble mode are the easiest things in the world to dodge. This is so that when she expands the bubble for the "snowflakes", the expansion doesn't collide with you.Īnd one minor note here: When she fires the snowflakes out at you, be sure to manually aim at them instead of continuing to lock onto Dark Samus: Trust me on this one. Just be sure to move back off a bit after it hits. When she is in the "bubble" mode, I also noticed that if you move inward towards her when she fires the large phazon particles (You need to be pretty close to her for this to work), you can easily avoid them.
It takes approximately 5 to 6 snowflake powered charge beams in bubble mode to finish her on normal difficulty. Now repeat this until you finally beat her. This will instantly force her back into bubble mode.Ĩ) Should you miss with the super missile when she lands, damage from any beam(annihilator prefered) can force her back into bubble mode again. The instant she begins to stand up from her crouch, fire a Super missile at close range. Quickly shoot that at Dark Samus to damage her lifebar.ħ) Eventually her bubble will shrink and she will float to the ground. Strafe to the left or right to easily dodge the large phazon particles she shoots at you.ĥ) When she unleashes the "snowflakes" in bubble mode, you must suck 3 in like a vaccuum with your charging power beam.Ħ) Once you have 3 snowflakes sucked in, your charge will glow blue and sparkle. Back yourself up against the wall to give yourself room.Ĥ) Begin charging your power beam while she is in bubble mode. small blue/white snowflakes that she shoots out of the top of the bubble towards you whenever her bubble expandsģ) When she is in bubble mode, there is one wall in the room that does not have phazon against it. giant blue/white homing phazon particles that she randomly shoots Weapon of Choice: Charged Power Beam, Super Missilesġ) DS has two different phases in this form: "Bubble mode" and "Not in Bubble mode"Ģ) Bubble Mode consists of 2 different attacks I have no idea how or why this happened, but I know it did because I turned on my scan visor when it lost 25% of it's health and it was still DS3. Once, on my first time fighting him/her/it, I took away 75% of it's health before it turned into DS4. 'Note' you have to have the ammo!Īlso, you can save lots of time on Dark Samus 4 by doing lots of damage (enough so that it will not change to Dark Samus 4), then using a sonic boom. It is the best to use it when she gets closer to you (almost point blank), then it will hit easily. To defeat her very easily, just use a sonic boom, instant change to Dark Samus 4. Also, when Dark Samus goes into the floating mode where she fires the phazon-like beam at you, I found that you can pretty much stand under her and not get hit by this: Easier to do than trying to dodge it in my opinion
