Despite their efforts, a number of [[Bounty Hunter]]s have intercepted the message. Samus goes to the Alimbic Cluster, to find the ruins of the great [[Alimbic]] civilization. She uses their abandoned technology to gather strange artifacts called [[Octolith]]s. After examining the messages left by the Alimbics, she learns of how their civilization was destroyed by the creature [[Gorea]], who also must have sent the false message. Despite the warnings, Samus uses the Octoliths to open the way to Gorea's prison, and the other hunters rush in ahead of her. | |||
These hunters release Gorea, and are quickly assimilated into Gorea. Samus manages to weaken Gorea, and an Alimbic device activates. Samus gains the [[Omega Cannon]], which she uses to kill Gorea once and for all. Samus and the other hunters manage to escape, with the "Ultimate Power" destroyed. | |||
