Discover the locations of all Power Bomb Expansions in Metroid Prime Remastered. Learn where to find them using your Grapple Beam and Plasma Beam.
Alright, let's talk about Power Bomb Expansions! These are super important for opening up new paths and finding hidden goodies. This guide will help you track them down. Keep in mind that the order you find them might be a bit different depending on how you explore, but this table breaks down where they are based on what abilities you'll need.
Here's a breakdown of the Power Bomb Expansions and what you'll need to get them:
| Sector | Room | Description |
| Power Bombs Required | Warrior Shrine | This is the room that also has a Chozo Artifact. The small plug in front of the statue can be destroyed with a Power Bomb, which will give you access to the Expansion. |
| Grapple Beam Required | Magma Pool | Once you are able to grapple across this room, use a Power Bomb on the far wall to reveal the Expansion. |
| Security Cave | This is accessed from Phendrana's Edge. Climb as high as you can in this room using the Grapple Beam on the Glider to access the platforms that can reach the highest point where there's a ball tunnel leading to this room. | |
| Plasma Beam Required | Ice Ruins West | A little tough to find, but listen for the hum. It's coming from the northeast corner of the room. Get on top of the structure and you'll find a small patch of ice on the floor that you can melt to drop onto the Expansion. |
Tips
- Don't forget to use your Power Bombs on suspicious-looking walls or plugs, especially in areas where you've already found other items.
- Keep an ear out for subtle environmental cues, like the hum in Ice Ruins West, as they can point you towards hidden items.
- The Security Cave in Phendrana Drifts can be tricky to navigate. Make sure you're using the Grapple Beam to its full potential to reach all the necessary platforms.
