The Boost Guardian is the Warrior Ing that robbed Samus of her Boost Ball in the beginning of the game after Samus encounters Dark Samus for the first time on Planet Aether. Samus battles the Boost Guardian in the Dark Torvus Arena in a chamber without any Light Crystals or Light Beacons to generate Safe Zones, thus increasing the difficulty to somewhat unbeatable measures for some players.
Battle Tactics
The Boost Guardian's primary form of attack is Boosting, similar to how Samus uses the ability with the Boost Ball. However, it will also utilize attacks used primarily by Warrior Ing.
Samus cannot inflict damage on the Boost Guardian while it is Boosting, though its attacks can be interrupted with Bombs or by an impact with the pillars in the room that house Inglets. 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 Bombs in its path. After the Boost Guardian has been impacted by enough Bombs, it will revert into its vulnerable solid form.
Reward
After Samus defeats the Boost Guardian, she reclaims her Boost Ball, which can be used to find many Missile Expansions or Energy Tanks located near half pipe-like areas. The Boost Ball can also be used as an offensive move against enemies attacking Samus in her Morph Ball form. The Boost Ball is very useful in escaping a Metroid before it grips onto Samus in this form.

Trivia
