The Echo Visor is a Luminoth designed Visor used to see sound waves. It can detect some invisible enemies, and can interface with other sonic based devices. It has also been used by the Luminoth to help their blind see.[1]

Usage

Some enemies, such as the Shrieker can only be detected using the Echo Visor. It can be used to detect sonic based security systems and deactivate them. Used in conjuncture with the Annihilator Beam, the Echo Visor can also be used to open echo gates.

Samus uses the Echo Visor in her battle against Quadraxis to detect the signals sent between its body and the Head Module.[2] When Dark Samus is battled on the Sky Temple Grounds, the Phazon radiation given off be her negates the Dark Visor, Samus uses the Echo Visor to detect her while invisible.[3]

Samus's Notes

"The Echo Visor can reveal invisible items, areas, and enemies. Use the Echo Visor to interact with sonic-based security systems. This Visor was designed to work with a sonic-based Luminoth weapon system.[4]

She can vent Phazon energy in the form of destructive blasts and protective shields: doing so will help her maintain stability. Exposure to Phazon has rendered her invisible to the Dark Visor. These new abilities, combined with her already formidable arsenal, place Dark Samus at the highest threat level." —Logbook (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)
