Gorea crashed upon one of the Alimbics' homeworlds in the Alimbic Cluster, beginning the Alimbic War conflict. It arrived in the cluster in the form of a comet, and soon after demonstrated its ability to alter its own atomic structure by turning into a vapor.<ref>{{cite|At first we thought Gorea was comet.

This new form gave Gorea the same intellect as the Alimbics. The Alimbics were now at war with their own being, and never before had such an enemy.

As a last resort to end the Alimbic War conflict, the Alimbic Order of Elders met to discuss the creation of a caging mechanism to capture Gorea.<ref>{{cite|As the death toll rose, we crafted a plan.

Once ensnared, the Seal Sphere system went further development to provide additional security against Gorea.

As a result of this last resort, the Alimbics disappeared from the Alimbic Cluster, leaving it in ruin and further unattended to; however, it left Gorea completely contained for thousands to tens of thousands of years. | As a result of this last resort, the Alimbics disappeared from the Alimbic Cluster, leaving it in ruin and further unattended to; however, it left Gorea completely contained for thousands to tens of thousands of years. | ||

At the start of the encounter, Gorea releases a dark vapor up into the chamber in a dark colored form before changing into the yellow armored [[Battlehammer]] user form. The player through scanning will learn that there is a weak spot in the shoulders of the being<ref name="Gorea Arm">{{cite|Analysis indicates the presence of fragile biomorphic neurons in Gorea's shoulders, periodically vulnerable to specific energy types.|[[Metroid Prime Hunters | At the start of the encounter, Gorea releases a dark vapor up into the chamber in a dark colored form before changing into the yellow armored [[Battlehammer]] user form.

It is reccommended to destroy Gorea's arms in its [[Judicator]], [[Imperialist]] and [[Shock Coil]] user forms using the [[Magmaul]], Shock Coil and Imperialist respectively on the shoulders. | ||
When Gorea's arms are destroyed, it will rise and flip itself in a sustained hovering state. In this position, Gorea uses two attacks upon Samus. The first involves the use of a single tentacle that chases after Samus. If Samus is caught by the tentacle, she will be swung around the room, directions being changed throughout, and eventually slammed into the floor of the chamber unless the player causes enough damage to the Gorea Seal Sphere during the attack. The second attack uses multiple psionic tentacles to lift the [[Trocra]] located around the outskirts of the arena. Once overhead of Gorea, these tectacles will shake after a second or two as an effort to fling the Trocra at Samus below. The Trocra act as biological bombs for Gorea in this state. | When Gorea's arms are destroyed, it will rise and flip itself in a sustained hovering state.

Gorea 2 can only be encountered through the completion of the Alimbic Prophecy sequence during the Gorea Phase 1 encounter. To do this, the player most shoot the colored switches placed in the upper outskirts of the arena in the correct order. The player must shoot the yellow, green, orange, blue, violet and red switches in that order with the [[Volt Driver]], Battlehammer, Magmaul, Shock Coil, Judicator and Imperialist respectively. If successful, the player will receive a message upon the bottom screen and a new cutscene upon defeating Gorea in its Phase 1 form. | Gorea 2 can only be encountered through the completion of the Alimbic Prophecy sequence during the Gorea Phase 1 encounter.

Despite apparently taking damage in the new cutscene after completing the Alimbic Prophecy sequence, Gorea 2 is Gorea in an even faster form with higher stats in offense and defense than in the previous form. The Alimbic essence in the Seal Sphere system has also left as a result of the completion of the sequence.<ref name="Gorea 2">{{cite|Gorea's final form is impervious to all weapons currently equipped in the Power Suit.

After Samus causes one of Gorea 2's six glowing dots to black out using the Omega Cannon, Gorea 2 will teleport to the top of the area and start generating flaming projectiles that can pass through the environment as they target Samus. Samus must reach the top of the stage to continue to damage Gorea 2. The player can beat Gorea 2 here though it is more likely that it will again teleport away from Samus. | Despite apparently taking damage in the new cutscene after completing the Alimbic Prophecy sequence, Gorea 2 is Gorea in an even faster form with higher stats in offense and defense than in the previous form.

Upon hitting Gorea 2 with the final Omega Cannon shot to deplete the boss's health bar, it will release an energy burst and partially explode. In the following cutscene, the monster shows it is still stable until it floats upwards where it explodes. Oddly, this explosion starts in Gorea 2's head region. This explosion causes a chain reaction in the Oubliette that causes the prison to explode albeit this time Samus Aran escapes alive seemingly with the other six hunters. | Upon hitting Gorea 2 with the final Omega Cannon shot to deplete the boss's health bar, it will release an energy burst and partially explode.
