After Samus defeats the Alpha Splinter, the Ing possess it, creating a Dark Alpha Splinter. In this new form, it leaps at Samus again, and then fires a blast of Dark Energy from where it lands. It repeats this pattern until its defeat. It loses its ability to predict where Samus will be when he makes contact; instead, it lands where Samus was when it lunged. | After Samus defeats the Alpha Splinter, the Ing possess it, creating a Dark Alpha Splinter.

*Interestingly, the Dark Alpha Splinter may be easier to defeat after possession. Its loss of its ability to predict where Samus will land means that Samus must use far less cunning to dodge its attacks; she need only sidestep once after it has began its attack. | *Interestingly, the Dark Alpha Splinter may be easier to defeat after possession.
