When Samus battles Nightmare, it will fire multiple energy beams at first. After she hits Nightmare's gravity manipulator multiple times, it will activate. Nightmare will continue to fire energy beams while Samus is impeded by the intense gravity. After Samus damages the manipulator enough it will explode along with Nightmare's faceplate.
