Learn how to defeat the Spirits boss in Metroid: Zero Mission by shooting the orb at the right moment and avoiding lightning strikes.
Walkthrough
- 1Observe your reflection in the orb in the center of the room. Do not shoot or touch the orb directly, as this will cause damage.
- 2Watch the orb until a moment occurs where your reflection is replaced by a symbol.
- 3Shoot the orb when the symbol appears to land your first hit.
- 4The armored spirit in the background will pick up the orb and begin flying in a counter-clockwise circle.
- 5The spirit will stop moving periodically, and the screen will flash. Move out of the way to avoid a bolt of lightning.
- 6Wait for the symbol to reappear in the orb and shoot it to score your second hit.
- 7The spirit will then trace the screen counter-clockwise in a bouncing motion while lightning bolts continue to appear.
- 8Avoid the lightning strikes and watch for the symbol in the orb. Shoot it to get your third hit.
- 9The boss's pattern remains the same, but the lightning strikes more frequently and may trail along the floor and walls.
- 10Avoid the initial lightning strike and be prepared to jump if the lightning continues towards you.
- 11Spot the symbol in the orb and shoot it to land the fourth and final hit, ending the battle.
Tips
- Do not shoot or touch the orb when you see your reflection, as this will damage you.
- The key to hitting the boss is to shoot the orb only when the specific symbol appears within it.
- Be prepared to dodge lightning bolts, which can sometimes trail along surfaces.
