With the Charge Beam in hand, players should backtrack to theGathering Halland situate themselves near the door that leads to Gathering Hall Access. There are a series of platforms above this door, which fans should climb to reach a tunnel that can be entered withSamus Aran’s Morph Ballability. On the other side of this tunnel, players will find a door that leads to theEast Atrium, and they should continue moving forward until they reach theEnergy Core.
Upon entering theEnergy Core, players should turn left immediately and follow the path that is in front of them. This path will eventually takeMetroidfanspast a Stone Toad, and they should enter the Morph Ball tunnel that is just beyond that creature. This tunnel will allow players to access theBurn Dome, a small arena where fans must battle theIncinerator Drone.
The encounter with the Incinerator Drone is quite easy, and players that avoid the machine’s fire and shoot the red button that emerges from its top should dispatch it in short order. That said, fans should not be too quick to end this battle, as this is the only opportunity that they have toscantheIncinerator DroneandBarbed War Wasps. Once these entities have been scanned, and the Incinerator Drone has been destroyed, players will receive theMorph Ball Bombability, which can be used to reach new areas.
Before players make their way to these new areas, they should do a quick scan of the walls in theBurn Dome. This scanning will reveal that there is a structural weakness in the wall, which fans can destroy with a Morph Ball Bomb in order to access aMissile Expansion inMetroid Prime Remastered.
