To defeat the Parasite Queen, Samus must shoot the [[Power Beam]] or [[Missile]] at it while an open section of its shield is revealed. To attack, the Parasite queen launches acid from fluid sacs<ref name="Dead Queen mouth" /> located around its mouth. The acid it shoots is corrosive enough to damage Samus's [[Varia Suit]], meaning it is likely more powerful than [[Flaahgra|Flaahgra's]] toxic water found throughout [[Chozo Ruins]]. | ||
Occasionally, the shield around Parasite Queen will randomly reform, leaving an open space in a different area. [[Lock-On Orbiting]] is useful to catch up with the spinning shield or to catch it coming from the other side. Unlike many bosses, Parasite Queen's entire body is vulnerable to attack. | Occasionally, the shield around Parasite Queen will randomly reform, leaving an open space in a different area.
