Metroid: Other M - Defeat the Mystery Creature

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle this HARD mode Mystery Creature boss fight in Metroid: Other M! This part can be a real pain if you don't know what you're doing, but don't worry, I've got your back.

Walkthrough

1
First off, that door on the right is locked tight. So, head left and make your way to the Floor Observation Room.
2
Once you're in the Crater Interior, you'll need to kick climb up the first section. Then, switch to your Morph Ball and roll up the hill.
3
You'll reach a big bridge. Hug the left side and run to build up a Speed Boost. As soon as you get to the edge, Shinespark to leap over the second lava pit.
4
Watch out! An Asborean is going to pop out and try to grab you. Take it down quickly.
5
After you've dealt with the Asborean, use the nearby Terminal. Then, you'll have to backtrack all the way to that locked door you saw earlier – it should be unlocked now.
6
WARNING: IMMINENT DEATH AHEAD - Yep, the Rhedogian is back, and it's about to get Anthony Higgs! As soon as you enter, switch to Search View immediately and lock onto the Grapple Point that appears above.
7
Press [A] to use the grapple point and swing over to save Anthony. It's a good idea to try and eliminate the Sovas first, as they'll just mess with you during the boss fight. Once they're dealt with, focus on the Rhedogian. You'll want to fight it the same way you did before.
8
Keep moving forward, past the save station.
9
You'll see another Grapple Point ahead. Use it and swing across the pit. Ignore the Magdollite that shows up.
10
Swing across the second pit as well, and then head through the door.
11
You're now in the Blast Furnace Observation area. Drop down the shaft.
12
Use the Grapple Point you find to swing over to the tunnel.
13
Once inside the tunnel, use the Morph Ball slot to progress.
14
Now, you'll need to bomb all the Grapple Points you can find. This will drop them into the Blast Furnace below.
15
Finally, use the Terminal at the end of the tunnel. Drop down the shaft again, and... well, the guide cuts off here, but you're on the right track!

Tips

Don't forget to switch to Search View immediately when the Rhedogian appears to spot the Grapple Point.
Prioritizing the Sovas before engaging the Rhedogian can make the fight much smoother.
Remember to use your Speed Boost and Shinespark to clear the lava pits.
