Part 5: The Mystery Creature [WA05]

Guide to Part 5: The Mystery Creature [WA05] in Metroid: Other M. Learn how to defeat the Rhedogian and save Anthony Higgs, plus find an Energy Part.

Alright, let's tackle Part 5, the Mystery Creature! This section is called [WA05] and it's all about dealing with a familiar foe and saving a friend.

First things first, the door on the right is locked, so we need to head left towards the Floor Observation Room. Once you're there, you'll need to do some kick climbing up the initial part of the Crater Interior. After that, switch to your Morph Ball and roll up the hill. When you reach the big bridge, hug the left side and run to build up a Speed Boost. As soon as you get to the edge, Shinespark to jump over that second lava pit. Keep an eye out for an Asborean; it'll try to grab you the moment it shows up. Take care of it, then use the Terminal. After that, you'll need to backtrack all the way to that door you couldn't open earlier and use it.

WARNING: IMMINENT DEATH AHEAD

Okay, here's the big moment: [BS08B] The Rhedogian is back, and it's about to get Anthony Higgs! As soon as this happens, switch to Search View immediately and lock onto the Grapple Point that appears above you.

GRAPPLE BEAM AUTHORIZED

Press [A] to use the grapple point and swing over to save Anthony. Your priority now is to eliminate the Sovas if you can, because they'll really mess with the fight. Once they're dealt with, focus on the Rhedogian. You'll want to fight it the same way you did before. After that's done, keep moving forward, past the save station.

Next up, at [EP06], use the Grapple Point in front of you. Don't worry about the Magdollite for now, just swing across the second pit. Before you head into the door, walk towards the screen and drop down to a small area off to the right. Be super careful not to fall into the lava down there! You'll find an Energy Part. Grab it, jump back up, and then use the door.

You'll now be in the Blast Furnace Observation area. Drop down the shaft and use the Grapple Point to swing over to the tunnel. Once you're in the tunnel, use the Morph Ball slot. Now, you'll need to bomb all the Grapple Points to drop them into the Blast Furnace below. After that, use the Terminal at the end of the tunnel. Drop down the shaft again, and use the Grapple Point to swing into the Blast Furnace itself. We're almost there!
