Learn how to defeat the Queen Metroid in Metroid: Other M. This guide covers strategies for handling Metroid larvae, Queen's attacks, and the final confrontation.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    At the start, use Sense Move to dodge. Freeze the first Metroid with your beam and hit it with a Super Missile. The Queen will send more Metroids; use Sense Move and the Diffusion Beam's spread to freeze them. Do not attack unfrozen Metroids. If a Metroid grabs you, use Morph Ball mode and drop a bomb. Use Seeker Missiles to damage frozen Metroids. The Queen can stomp to break ice, so defeat them quickly.
  2. 2
    After the Metroids are gone, the Queen Metroid grows crystals on her neck and begins her main attacks.
  3. 3
    The Queen Metroid has two attacks: ramming and fire breath. Sense Move left or right to dodge the ramming attack; avoid being cornered. Jump over the fire breath attack; Space Jump can act as a double jump. Her fire breath deals 200 damage.
  4. 4
    To attack, run around her and use Seeker Missiles. Be wary of fire breath; use Space Jump to move to her side until out of range. Use the Plasma Beam and Seeker Missiles to destroy the crystals on her neck. Avoid charge shots while jumping, as you might fall into an attack. Keep firing until the crystals break.
  5. 5
    After a cutscene, shoot the Queen Metroid's chest with any weapon. Point the Wiimote at her mouth and use the Grapple Beam to fly inside her stomach.
  6. 6
    Inside her stomach, hold down the 1 button to fully charge your Power Bomb, then release it to destroy the Queen Metroid.
  7. 7
    After another cutscene, follow the woman. Point the Wiimote at the screen and use missiles to shoot any Desbrachians blocking your view of the character in front of you. Lock onto the girl in the center of the room and press A to finish this section. You have 58% of items.
Tips

  • If a Metroid grabs you, quickly switch to Morph Ball mode and drop a bomb to break free.
  • Be aware that the Queen can break her Metroids out of ice with a stomp.
  • Space Jump is useful for dodging the Queen's fire breath attack.
  • Avoid using charge shots while jumping, as it can make you vulnerable.
