Ingsmashers are powerful Luminoth mechanoids built to fight the Ing in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Ingsmashers appear only in two rooms: the Hall of Combat Mastery and Reactor Access, both in Sanctuary Fortress.

Properties[edit | edit source]

Their primary mode of attack is creating shock waves by slamming their arms into the ground,[1] and by alternating between arms, they can generate shock waves in rapid succession. A larger shock wave can be generated when the Ingsmasher slams both arm into the ground simultaneously. When a target is out of reach they utilize missile launchers that fire several homing projectiles.[1] At close range, the Ingsmashers will use standard melee attacks. These properties make Ingsmashers priority targets for possession.[2]

Defensively, Ingsmashers are capable of raising shields of light or dark energy that make these already resilient Mechanoids even more difficult to take down, though they can be overloaded by a beam of the opposite polarity.[1] While they are capable of taking numerous hits before succumbing to the damage, Samus is capable of destroying an Ingsmasher instantly with a Power Bomb, even with their shields activated.

Logbook Entry[edit | edit source]

Logbook entry from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: Ingsmasher
Designed to fight alongside the Luminoth, the Ingsmasher now seeks to destroy them. In close combat, it smashes its energized fists into the earth to send out powerful shock waves, then pulverizes any immobile prey. It will fire salvos of Missiles at long-distance quarry. It uses an energy shield in battle that can be adjusted to protect against a variety of beam weapons. The shield can be overloaded by opposite-polarity beams, however, damaging the Ingsmasher in the process.[1]
