The Main Reactor is a room in the Agon Wastes. The room connects the Sand Processing, Storage D, Ventilation Area A, by a White Hatch, and Security Station B, by a Purple Hatch.

Appearance and Navigation[edit | edit source]

The room consists of a central room, surrounded by an upper walkway. The center room is taken up by a large number of tanks that contain large amounts of Phazon. The largest of these tanks is located in the center of the room. There are a series of tanks on one side of the room that can be navigated through using Spider Ball Tracks and the Boost Ball. Each tank has moving parts that will block the way, along with damaging Phazon on the bottom. If Samus falls to the bottom, she can leave each tank using a small hole leading back to the main room. If Samus successfully navigates the tanks, she will acquire a Missile Expansion at the end.

The upper walkway has two sections. The main section has doors to the Sand Processing, Storage D, and Security Station B. The latter door is separated by a gate that can be lowered by hitting a white crystal with the Dark Beam. There is an elevator connecting the levels near Storage D. There is also a large opening near the door to the Sand Processing, next to a dark purple area that is the destination of a Portal in the Dark Oasis. The Door to Ventilation Area A is located in a separate section, that can only be accessed from below using a Spider Ball Track. This section has the corpse and final testament of B-Stl. When Samus first enters the room, she sees Dark Samus absorbing energy from the central tank. Upon entering the central area, a battle between the two "Hunters" will start. When Dark Samus has been destroyed, the elevator will be activated.

Upgrades[edit | edit source]

Missile Expansion[edit | edit source]

Requires: Spider Ball and Boost Ball

  • Once Samus has obtained the Spider Ball, she can enter a ledge above the Phazon containers in the northern part of the room. By using the Boost Ball, she can bounce between various platforms to reach the opposite side of the ledge, where the expansion can be found under a hatch in the ground that be destroyed using a Morph Ball Bomb.
