Where is x ray visor in metroid prime

It is vulnerable when cloaked, as all energy is drawn from defense systems. By exposing itself to Phazon, it can regenerate damaged tissue and organs. Category : Visors. Hidden category: Pages with Incomplete Sections.

Recommended Metroid. Allows Samus to see certain cloaked enemies Allows Samus to see through Phazite Pinpoints weaknesses on certain enemies. This article is about the Prime series X-Ray Visor. From now on, when something seems to be out of reach, switch to X-Ray and look for cloaked platforms since that will often be they way to reach it.

When you switch to X-Ray here you'll find a cloaked platform floating above the entrance to Transport Tunnel D. Platform your way to it, and now switch to normal vision and look down to see the rain splashing on the platform even though you can't see the platform itself. This is sort of a sequence break in that it allows you to locate the platform before getting the visor. It only works in Tallon Overworld because of the rain, and you probably won't be able to find the splashes unless you already know where to look.

A Missile Expansion is waiting for you in this little room. It's a pretty little room so take a moment to appreciate the effort someone put in to create it just for this one expansion. There is another Missile Expansion in Tallon Overworld you can get now, but it's very close to another expansion that requires the Plasma Beam so we'll cover them together on the next page.

Go back to the Triclops Pit and you may notice that one of the pillars in the middle of the room gives off an expansion hum. Switch to X-Ray and look near the top to see that part of the pillar is transparent to X-Ray.

The expansion is there but the problem is how to reach it. Again in X-Ray, look around the pillar to see a cloaked platform, and look near that for a second, and finally locate the third near the entrance from the Pit Tunnel. Starting from the ledge near the third platform, start jumping from one to the other in reverse order until you're facing the pillar with the expansion.

Fire a Missile to break the rock, then do a final jump to collect the Missile Expansion. There's another expansion to get on the lower level of the Phazon Mines.

You'll be passing through the room with the Plasma Beam to get there, so it may seem to be going out the the way, but it won't be any less out of the way after getting the Plasma Beam so you might as well get it now. Get to the Phazon Processing Center; you may notice that the platform in Transport Access is gone and you now have to use the Grapple Beam to get through without wading through Phazon. Get to a ledge about half way down the wall opposite the entrance from Transport Access.

There is a hum coming from the wall and if you switch to X-Ray you can see a Missile Expansion inside it. You'll now be able to burn and melt certain objects and open red doors with this weapon. Leave the room and go back to the Monitor Station. From there, head across to the Phendrana Drifts North elevator and ride it up - we'll take a detour to Phendrana now.

Once in Phendrana, you can first get both Missile PD. Once you've got them, go over to the Chozo Ice Temple room. Go up to the giant winged statue at the top of the room and shoot the ice pouring out of its beak with the Plasma Beam. The ice will melt and the statue's hands will glow. Jump on and activate the Morph Ball, an opening will then appear at the base of the stone basin. Roll through the narrow tunnel to find the Artifact of Sun hidden inside.

With this item in hand, go back to the Shorelines and head over to the Ice Ruins East room. There you'll be able to find Missiles PD.

With these two found, go over to the Ice Ruins West room. From here go over to the Ruined Courtyard. Deal with the three Flying Pirates and use the Spider Ball track on the wall to reach the top of the structure.

From here save your game before going over to the Quarantine Cave. Defeat the Sheegoth there and use the Grapple Point in the ceiling to reach the small opening on the opposite side of the cave. Inside you'll find Missile PD. We now need to go all the way up to the Control Tower to find an artifact there. Go back to the Ruined Courtyard and head into the research labs from there.

Once up there defeat all the Flying Pirates, then go above the door leading down to the East Tower elevator. Inside the small open-air room you'll find a stack of crates by a window. Shoot the crates and then fire the Plasma Beam at the ice-covered window to unfreeze it. You'll then be able to see and scan the base of a tower visible through the window. Shoot the tower with a missile and it'll collapse into the wall, from here you'll be able to reach the Artifact of Elder. You've now only got four more artifacts to find, so we're on track.

Keep going through the research labs to reach the Research Core, then go through the white door at the bottom to eventually reach the Frozen Pike. From here go across to the Frost Cave.

Defeat the two Flying Pirates there, then use the Grapple Beam to swing over to the ledge on the opposite side of the room via the Glider flying about. From here you can shoot down the stalactite to break the ice covering the lake so you can reach Missile PD.

From here go over to Phendrana's Edge. Shoot down the two noisy Flying Pirates and climb to the very top of the shaft using the Grapple Points and the Glider above. As you climb up the shaft, use the X-Ray Visor to spot a door hidden behind a rock wall. Destroy the wall with a Power Bomb, inside you'll find the Artifact of Spirit.

Go back into the shaft and climb to the very top, where you'll find a small opening. Go inside to find Power Bomb PD. Now we've only got two more items to find in Phendrana. The first is a missile down in the Gravity Chamber, so head over there via the Hunter Cave. Use the Grapple Beam in there to reach the Chamber Access room, it makes reaching the missile easier.

Use this to reach Missile PD. We're done here now, now go back to the Frozen Pike. Climb to the top of the shaft, once there go into the Transport Access room.

Here you can find Energy Tank PD.
