Weapons Of Mass Destruction

Follow this walkthrough to acquire the Missile Tank in Metroid: Zero Mission. Learn how to defeat enemies and navigate the environment to progress.

Work your way right over the platforms and acid until you reach a narrow passage, then roll through it and get ready to meet a new enemy. This armored leaping enemy can hurt you pretty easily so you need to act fast. Drop to the ground as he does the same, then crouch and fire as fast as you can to get rid of him quickly. Catch your breath and grab any health if he left some, then go through the door on your right.

Roll into the statue's hands here to get the usual energy recharge and a hint of where you should be heading next, then go right to the next room.

Carefully work your way down the platforms in this shaft until you reach the second beetle, then shoot the blocks to your left and continue your descent. Go down past the door on your left and stop when you see the door on your right that's blocked by debris, the debris that your shots couldn't reach before remember? Use your improved weapon to get rid of the blocks and roll through the passage, then go through the door to the next room.

Nothing to do in this tube, so just keep going right to the next room.

Head right and gaze at your reflection in the bulletproof red door as you realize that you can't open these types of doors just yet. Drop down the shaft instead, then roll through the passage and go through the door to your right for a save room.

Return to the shaft and carefully work your way past the enemies to the very bottom, then go through the door on your right.

Head right until you reach a small acid pit, then kill a couple of the enemies that come from it if you need some health. Otherwise continue right and jump across the narrow platforms to get your first missile tank.
