The Hall of Honored Dead is a room from ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. It is located in the middle of the [[Temple Grounds]]. The room is accessed from a [[Morph Ball]] tunnel that goes above the [[Path of Honor]], as the main door from the Path of Honor requires the [[Seeker Missile]] obtained in the room. The room is a very large, open roof area. It is a place of worship to the [[Luminoth]]. In the corners of the room are statues of the first four [[Sentinel of Aether|Sentinels of Aether]]; [[X-Qar]], [[Q-Cis]], [[V-Mos]], and [[J-Gnk]]. It also contains a very high ledge with a stable, yet unsafe, [[Portal]] to [[Dark Aether]]. There is also a corpse of a very aged Luminoth (4.2 centicycles) laying on the ground who died while defending the sacred place. In the center of the room is the Seeker Missile, surrounded by a security system set in place by the Luminoth.


The security system in place around the Seeker Missile is very advanced and can only be deactivated by using the [[Boost Ball]] on the four [[Spinner]] devices at the base of the Sentinel Statues. She must rotate them in the proper sequence and the correct number of times. This aligns the pieces of the floor in the correct order. After doing so, a giant structure rises out of the floor that emits beams of ultra-high frequency waves at the containment unit to shatter and unveil the Seeker Missile.
The '''Hall of Honored Dead''' is a room in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. It is located in the center of the [[Temple Grounds]] and acts as a [[Luminoth Statue|statuary]] honoring [[Aether|Aether's]] first four [[Sentinel of Aether|Sentinels]]: [[X-Qar]], [[Q-Cis]], [[V-Mos]], and [[J-Gnk]]. A [[Luminoth Holoprojector|holographic message]] left behind by the [[Sentinel of the Temple|Sentinel]] of the [[Torvus Temple]], [[A-Voq]], reveals that the chamber is also a vault for the [[Seeker Missile|Seeker Launcher]] and is considered sacred by the [[Luminoth]].<ref>{{cite|The missile launcher of our last champion was a potent weapon. It had the ability to hit multiple targets at once. Claim this weapon from its sacred vault.|[[A-Voq]]|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]}}</ref>
 
==Appearance and Navigation==
The room is initially accessed using a [[Morph Ball]] tunnel that hangs above the [[Path of Honor]], as the main [[Door]] from the Path of Honor is covered by a [[Blast Shield]] that can only be destroyed using the Seeker Missile, which is obtained in the room.
 
The chamber is a massive, open-air arena. A Luminoth-built [[Portal]] to [[Dark Aether]] rests on a high ledge opposite the main entrance that cannot be reached by conventional means; additionally, though the Portal is active, it is unstable and security measures on the Portal Generation System prevent travel through the rift. There is also a corpse of an aged Luminoth, beneath the statue of X-Qar, and an adolescent Luminoth, beneath the statue of V-Mos, both of whom died while defending the site.<ref name=ElderlyLuminoth>{{cite|Bioscan complete.<br>Target has been dead for 1.5 decacycles. Subject was an elderly Luminoth. Approximate age is 4.2 centicycles.

The security system can only be deactivated using the [[Boost Ball]] in conjunction with the four [[Spinner]] devices that rest at the base of the Sentinel Statues. She must rotate them in the proper sequence and the correct number of times to align the circular sections of the chamber floor in the correct order. Upon completion of the puzzle, a large structure equipped with beam emitters rises out of the floor and focuses beams of ultra-high frequency waves at the central containment chamber, shattering it and unveiling the Seeker Missile, the missile launcher previously used by the [[A-Kul|Champion of Aether]].

*The portal on the ledge can be reached by using advanced jumping techniques or through cheating devices, such as an Action Replay. Even if players do make it up there, Samus walks through the portal, yet nothing happens. This portal is eventually used in the final cutscene of the game to escape a collapsing Dark Aether after Samus steals back the last of the [[Light of Aether]].

*According to the map of the Temple Grounds, the entire [[Great Temple]] is considered a part of this room. It is most likely that the image could not be put in the map unless it had room data, and so was integrated into the Hall of Honored Dead map image.
