Destroy the blockage beyond to move the final solar lens into position. Look up to see two small critters crawling around inside the wall - scan one to reveal them as Pillbugs.Įnter the tunnels on the wall and watch out for the Pillbugs as you move through. Jump across to the opposite wall but stop before you reach it. Drop down to it and deal with the next wave of War Wasps. Roll through the narrow tunnels and blow open the block barring your path to extend the second solar lens. Jump across the solar lens to reach the opposite wall and ride up the elevator lift using the Morph Ball. Stand up when you can and deal with the War Wasps entering the area before they cause any trouble. Blow apart the Talloric Alloy block barring your path and roll forward to land on the first solar lens unit as it folds open. Enter the lift to be taken up inside the wall itself. Activate the Bomb Slot to power up a Morph Ball lift over on the right. Upon defeated the Dark Pirate Troopers a Bomb Slot will power up way over in the corner of the room (beside the portal), so we'll start there.īefore heading up the ramp scan the Luminoth Lore Projector hidden behind a sandfall on the left corner beside the ramp. You'll also find a weird semi-transparent Bomb Slot beside a sealed door at the rear of the room, whenever you see something like this it means that the object resides in the opposite dimension, in this case Dark Aether. There's plenty of components to the system you can scan, scan them all to understand how the solar-powered system operates. You'll find the portal inactive at the far end of the chamber, to power it up you'll have to complete a few tasks.


The very atmosphere of Dark Aether harms Samus' Power Suit. They unload shots far more rapidly than regular troopers, so try to keep strafing but don't stop firing back. These creatures will take a lot more to take down, just keep your distance and unload Charge Beam shots and missiles into your prey. After meeting little resistance they'll turn your enemies into Dark Pirate Troopers (scan one before attacking).

More Ing Darklings will enter the area, their targets being the Pirate Troopers. Dispatch them both to summon yet more troopers, except these ones have a nastier fate to face. Looks like you're not the only one interested in dimension-hopping, inside you'll be greeted by two Pirate Troopers. This room houses the portal used to transfer to Dark Aether, but at the moment it isn't receiving power. Use the Morph Ball and sneak around the Orb Cannon to reach it.Įxit the room via the door beyond to locate a long chamber filled with Luminoth architecture. At the base you'll discover the remains of a Luminoth lying in front of a small alcove where Missile Expansion AW.02 rests. Use the cannon to reach the top of the structure, then wind your way through a small tunnel and drop down to reach the other side. Inside you'll discover a tall structure with an Orb Cannon. Jump up the platforms among the sandfalls and head through the first door you find. Head back outside and drop to the sand pit below. Scan the gate to lower it, then head inside the room beyond to locate Missile Expansion AW.01. Head over to the translator gate across the area, just watch out for the pack of Lumites fluttering about. Return to Mining Station A where you had your first Pirate encounter. Head back to the door you originally entered via, just watch out for the War Wasps making themselves home up above. Exit the room and return to the Agon Temple. Don't forget to scan the Luminoth Lore Projector hidden in an alcove here before leaving. I-Sha grants you access to scan the amber holograms, so there's a few more translator gates you can now open. This Luminoth-made portal leads right into Dark Aether.
