It is the [[Warrior Ing]] that robbed [[Samus Aran|Samus]] of her [[Boost Ball]] in the beginning of the game after Samus encounters Dark Samus for the first time on [[Aether]]. Samus battles the Boost Guardian in the [[Dark Torvus Arena]], a chamber without any [[Light Crystal]]s or [[Light Crystal#Light Beacon|Light Beacons]] to generate [[Safe Zone]]s, thus increasing the difficulty. | ||

The Boost Guardian begins standing upright. It will use its Warrior Ing attacks, then it will enter Boost Ball mode.

It will use its Warrior Ing attacks for a while, then it will enter Boost Ball mode. Samus cannot inflict damage on the Boost Guardian while it is Boosting, though its attacks can be interrupted with [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bombs]] or by an impact with the pillars in the room that house [[Inglet]]s. If it is forced out or interrupted during its Boost attack, the Boost Guardian will go into the Warrior Ing's puddle form and follow Samus wherever her course is directed. When the Boost Guardian is in this amorphous form, Samus must avoid it via the [[Morph Ball]] and dropping [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bombs]] in its path. After the Boost Guardian has been impacted by enough Bombs, it will revert into its vulnerable solid form. The pattern will repeat until the Boost Guardian's defeat. | ||

After Samus defeats the Boost Guardian, she reclaims her Boost Ball, which can be used to find many [[Missile Expansion]]s or [[Energy Tank]]s located near half pipe-like areas. Samus must then hurry out of the room to another safe zone. | |||
