Metroid Prime Remastered: After Boost Ball Walkthrough
After collecting the Boost Ball upgrade, players should drop intoPhendrana Canyonand use their new ability in the ice half-pipe to boostMetroid Prime Remastered’s Samus Aranup to a path on the right. This is a good opportunity to get some practice with Boost Ball, and fans can maximize Samus’s height by releasing B and receiving the boost just as she is about to ascend one of the ramp’s sides.

With some Boost Ball practice under their belts, players should backtrack all the way to thePhendrana Shorelines, stop by theSave Station, and take the elevator back toMagmoor Caverns West.Metroidfansshould then enterMonitor Stationand use the door that is across the room and on ground level to travel to theShore Tunnel. TheFiery Shoresis just past that hallway, and players should use the Morph Ball tunnel on the left side of the room.
After exiting that tunnel, players should destroy the nearby crates and roll into the Morph Ball maze that is beyond. AMissile Expansionawaits fans that make it to the end of this maze, and they should continue on toTransport Tunnel Bwhen it has been collected. This tunnel will lead players to theTallon Overworld Westelevator, which they should ride.

Fans should then continue intoRoot Cave, climb to reach a door leading toRoot Tunnel, and pass through to travel toTallon Canyon.
Upon enteringTallon Canyon, players should drop all the way to the ground and head a few steps to the left. Here, fans of classicMetroidgameswill find a very tall stone half-pipe, and they should use Boost Ball to reach an opening at the top of the ramp on the left side. Notably, the timing on this can be a bit tricky, due to the height of the half-pipe, and players should do their best to release fully-charged Boost Balls precisely when they are starting to ascend a side.
Once the half-pipe has been overcome, players should cross the bridge and useMetroid Prime Remastered’s Morph Ball Bombsto destroy a series of walls that block their path. This action will give fans access to theGully, which can be used to reach a position in theLanding Sitethat overlooks Samus’s ship. From here, players should simply jump across the gap, enter the door on their left, and collect theSpace Jump Bootsthat are housed in theAlcove.
