[[Samus Aran]] detects a distress signal from the [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates']] [[Frigate Orpheon]]. She boards the frigate and finds it in disrepair, and largely devoid of life. Data found on computer terminals within the frigate suggest that it had been recently used to research the material [[Phazon]], which the Space Pirates discovered on [[Tallon IV]], the planet the Orpheon orbited. When Samus reaches the ship's [[Reactor Core]], she discovers the most successful biological experiment of the Space Pirates, the [[Parasite Queen]]. Samus is forced to battle the creature. Its corpse falls onto the reactor, causing it to become critical. As Samus begins to evacuate the ship she is confronted by [[Ridley]]. Ridley causes an explosion that greatly damages Samus' [[Power Suit]], reducing it to basic functionality. Samus quickly returns to [[Samus Aran's Gunship|her gunship]]. Ridley flies away to the planet and Samus pursues him. The frigate eventually falls to the planet.

Samus discovers that Tallon IV was formerly inhabited by the [[Chozo]]. Thanks to the [[Chozo Lore|Lore]] the Chozo left on the ruins and temples of Tallon IV, Samus discovers that the planet had been struck by a meteor many years ago. The meteor, which would later be discovered to be a [[Leviathan]], carried with it a strange substance, known to the [[Chozo]] as [[Phazon|"The Great Poison"]]. As the poisonous substance brought by the meteor spread over the planet, it caused great damage to the biosphere. At the time of Samus' arrival, it had already caused widespread mutations in the local organisms, and rendered some areas lifeless. Samus also discovers that the Space Pirates estimated that life in Tallon IV would perish in a span of 25 years.

The various carvings scattered around the Chozo Ruins document the Chozo's struggle to destroy the substance emanating from the meteor and return the planet to its original state. The Chozo, who were themselves being eroded by the substance, were unsuccessful in their attempts to right the planet's ecosystem. Eventually, they resolved to seal the meteor and the [[Impact Crater]] from which the substance was emanating. The Chozo built a [[Artifact Temple|Temple]] over the crater to contain the [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Worm]] and to stop the spread of the substance on the planet. They also sealed its entrance and left twelve [[Chozo Artifact|artifact]]s scattered all over the planet that served as keys to break the seal. After this the Chozo left the planet.

With Ridley defeated, Samus enters the impact crater with the help of some Chozo Ghosts that had not been contaminated by Phazon. Here she discovers Metroids and the presence of [[Orange Phazon]], a substance that the scan visor identifies as 86% more mutagenic than normal Phazon.

In a room deep within the impact crater, Samus finally faces the Worm, source of all Phazon in the planet, [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]]. Due to its Phazon exposure, Metroid Prime has become more powerful than anything Samus had yet encountered on Tallon IV. It has the ability to attack with diverse weapons, and is able to shield itself from all of Samus' weapons. However, it is not capable of shielding from all weapons simultaneously, so Samus is able to damage it by switching weapons repeatedly. When Samus has depleted all of the creature's health, Metroid Prime falls to the lowest chamber of the Impact Crater.

When Samus has depleted all of the creature's health, Metroid Prime falls to the lowest chamber of the Impact Crater.


The creature then leaves its exoskeleton and reveals its essence and true form. In this form it becomes completely immune to all of Samus' weapons and also has the ability to cloak itself in the visible, infrared, and x-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The creature also releases Metroids to aid it in battle. This form generates pools of liquid Phazon as waste while attacking. By absorbing the Phazon and firing it out of her [[Arm Cannon]], Samus is able to damage Metroid Prime.

Critically damaged, Metroid Prime collapses into an unstable form. In this form, the creature grabs Samus. As she attempts to escape from its grip, the Phazon Suit is ripped from her body, leaving her to escape in her [[Gravity Suit]]. Metroid Prime loses all cohesion and explodes. Samus is able to escape the explosion. After calling her gunship, she jumps on to it while the temple begins to crumble and fall apart. Watching safely while standing above her ship, Samus takes off her helmet and stares sadly as the temple is destroyed. After this, Samus enters her ship and leaves Tallon IV.

[[Samus Aran|Samus]]'s [[Samus Aran's Gunship|Gunship]] detects a distress signal from the [[Space Pirate]] [[Frigate Orpheon]]. She then boards the frigate to find it in disrepair, and largely devoid of life. Data found on computer terminals within the frigate suggest that it had recently been being used to research the material [[Phazon]], which the Space Pirates discovered on [[Tallon IV]], the planet the Orpheon is in orbit above. Foremost among the topics of research aboard the Orpheon is the effect of Phazon on living organisms. When Samus reaches the ship's [[Reactor Core]], she discovers the most successful biological experiment of the Space Pirates, the [[Parasite Queen]]. The Parasite Queen is an animal native to Tallon IV that has been exposed to Phazon, causing it to grow to an atypically large size. It apparently was responsible for the destruction aboard the Orpheon. Due to the threat it poses, Samus destroys the Parasite Queen. Its corpse falls onto the reactor, causing it to become critical. Samus begins to evacuate the ship, but while doing so meets up with [[Meta Ridley]]. He attacks her, damaging her [[Power Suit]] and reducing it to basic functionality. Samus quickly escapes back to her gunship, and both she and Ridley escape to Tallon IV. The Orpheon's reactor fails, causing it to crash into the surface of the planet as well.

Samus discovers that Tallon IV was formerly a [[Chozo]] civilization. Based on carvings in [[Chozo Ruins|the ruins of the Chozo city]], a cataclysmic meteor strike and the resulting environmental damage wiped out the Chozo living there. The meteor, which would later be discovered to be a [[Leviathan]], brought Phazon to Tallon IV. As the poisonous Phazon brought by the meteor spread over the planet, it caused damage to the biosphere. At the time of Samus' arrival, it had already caused widespread mutations in the local organisms, and rendered some areas lifeless. Samus discovers the Space Pirates estimate that in approximately 25 years, no life will remain on Tallon IV.

The various carvings scattered around the Chozo Ruins document the Chozo's struggle to destroy the Phazon emanating from the meteor and return the planet to its original state. The Chozo, who were themselves being eroded by the Phazon, were unsuccessful in their attempts to right the planet's ecosystem. Eventually, they resolved to seal the meteor and [[Impact Crater]] from which the Phazon emanates. They left behind a series of twelve [[Chozo Artifact|artifact]]s that are capable of breaking the seal, in the hope that someday an individual would arrive and succeed where they failed.

Samus enters the impact crater and discovers a world completely transformed by Phazon. Here there is [[Orange Phazon]], a substance that the scan visor identifies as 86% more mutagenic than normal Phazon. There are also creatures that have been altered so far as to thrive on Phazon living here.

In a room deep within the impact crater, Samus discovers the eponymous [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]], called the source of Phazon by the Scan Visor. Due to its Phazon exposure, Metroid Prime has become more powerful than anything Samus has yet encountered on Tallon IV. It has the ability to attack with diverse weapons, and is able to shield itself from all of Samus' weapons. However, it is not capable of shielding from all weapons simultaneously, so Samus is able to damage it by switching weapons repeatedly. When Samus has depleted all of its health, Metroid Prime will escape to the lowest chamber of the Impact Crater.

When Samus has depleted all of its health, Metroid Prime will escape to the lowest chamber of the Impact Crater.


Here it metamorphoses into a new form, one that is immune to all of Samus' weapons and is capable of cloaking itself in the visible, infrared, and x-ray portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This form generates pools of liquid Phazon as waste while attacking. By absorbing this Phazon and firing it out of her [[Arm Cannon]], Samus can damage this final form of Metroid Prime.

When critically damaged, Metroid Prime will collapse into an unstable form with no recognizable features. In this form, it grabs Samus. As she attempts to escape from its grip, the Phazon Suit is ripped from her body, leaving her to escape in the Gravity Suit. Metroid Prime seems to lose all cohesion and explodes. Outside the crater, Samus watches as the Artifact Temple is destroyed by the instability within the crater. Entering her Gunship, Samus escapes Tallon IV.
