The Emperor Ing is eldest and most powerful Ing in the Horde.
Forms
Like other Ing, the Emperor Ing is a metamorph; it molds itself around Dark Aether's final Energy Controller to siphon power from it.
First Form
The first form of the Emperor Ing that Samus encounters is stationary. It attacks by swinging its tentacles around, channeling Dark Energy through them to throw an energy ball, and it is capable of firing a sustained beam of energy from its eye.
To defeat it Samus must damage its tentacles forcing them to retract, then damage its eye when it is vulnerable.
Chrysalis
After sustaining heavy damage, the Emperor Ing will form a protective shell in an attempt to heal itself. As a defensive measure, it fills the room with a toxic gas.
The shell is magnetically charged and has multiple weak points. To break through it, Samus must use the Spider Ball to situate herself near the vulnerable areas. The Emperor Ing will use its tentacles to knock Samus off. Before one appears Samus may drop bombs directly onto it, destroying the tentacle and damaging the vulnerability. Alternatively, Samus may situate herself between multiple vulnerabilities and drop Power Bombs to destroy several tentacles at once.
Mutated Emperor Ing
After undergoing further Phazon mutation, the Emperor Ing will emerge from the chrysalis in a form similar in appearance to a Warrior Ing. It has a protective barriers covering its vulnerabilities. After Samus has damaged a barrier enough, it will weaken and become vulnerable to a beam of opposite polarity. Alternatively, Samus may use the Annihilator Beam instead of the Light or Dark Beams to weaken it no matter which polarity a barrier has.
Once Samus has killed the Emperor Ing, she can absorb the final Energy Controller causing Dark Aether to collapse.
Abilities
The Emperor Ing has multiple abilities not present in other Ing.
- Tentacles: As well as firing Dark Energy balls, the Emperor Ing is also capable of creating interdimensional rifts that it may use to make the tentacles appear anywhere in its sanctum.
- Energy Beams
- While in its stationary form, it may fire a sustained energy beam from its eye
- Similar to a Warrior Ing, the Emperor Ing can fire transdimensional energy beams; but unlike a Warrior Ing, the Emperor Ing may fire multiple beams simultaneously
- It may fire sustained bursts of both Light or Dark energy
- Similar to the Jump Guardian, it is capable of creating shock waves when it lands but with a larger radius.
- It is capable of spawning swarms of Nightbarbs as well as an unnamed Light creature.
