Phazon served a less prominent role in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', however, like Tallon IV, [[Aether]] was impacted by a Phazon meteor that resulted in the creation of [[Dark Aether]] and the [[Ing]]. This Phazon attracted both the [[Space Pirate]]s and [[Dark Samus]]. While most of the Phazon was relegated to Dark Aether, several areas in the light world had deposits of the substance.
Because this did not have much importance in this game, not much details gere given as to the effect of it on other organisms, and omit the [[Metroid]] species. Though, similarly to Tallon IV, Phazon did crash down to [[Aether]], it was not as important as the [[Ing]] itself. As for the mutualistic relationship between the Ing and the Phazon, the Ing Emperor, along with having the immense power Aether's energy, it also had constant Phazon surrounding it. As seen in the middle of the Ing Emperor battle, it makes a hard casing around its core, which you would have to navigate and bomb, similar to the battle with [[Quadraxis]], and navigating a few selections of Dark Aether's [[Sanctuary Fortress]]. The Emperor Ing would eventually have Phazon gas rise, decreasing Samus' ability to regen health during this period, most likely from the Ing's aquired Phazon powers.


Because the importance of Phazon to this game is low, Samus was no longer equipped with any sort of [[Phazon Suit]], or any Phazon control. Unlike Metroid Prime, the rate or the Phazon damaging Samus' energy supply was changed to a constant rate of damage. It was also used as a small obstacle to get a missile tank. Depending on the difficulty of the game,it would hurt in different quantities

The appearence in this game is much more obvious, for huge Laviathen meteors came to the planets, crashing and depositing the Phazon into the surface, where it would grow, inhabit bioforms, supply [[Dark Samus]] of energy for the road, and even have its own, though not very substantial, life mass. Metroids in this game are much more exposed to Phazon, as easily visible in Metroid Hatchers. Pirates are now equipped with the P.E.D. Suits, which increase fire power by about 3x, and defense is amost impenetrable without going into [[Hyper Mode]]. Phazon in this game is seen almost everywhere Samus looks, weather it be a tiny puddle on the ground with a little hair growing out of it, or a huge swimming pool full of it. It can also be seen in the organisms that are designed to be destroyed for energy, with a glowing blue aura, suggesting that Phazon is present. Also, there is a greater persentage of organisms in this game that Phazon in them.

Also, there is a greater percentage of organisms in this game that Phazon in them.


As for Samus, unlike other games, Phazon heals her, at and alarminly exponential rate, similar to [[Orange Phazon]] as seen in ''Metroid Prime'', but with the completely opposite effect. This would be Blue Phazon in its purest form, which can be seen 2 times in this game. The first time Samus sees the pool of Phazon while using Hyper Mode would be the beginning of her internal corruption. As the game progresses after beating Planet Bosses, her corruption increases, of which by the end of the game reaches 100%.

As the game progresses, more Phazon is seen sitting around, with minor infections at the beginning, and more severe infections at [[Phaaze]]. This does not interfere with gameplay much, other than the fact that the Pirates are stronger as the game progresses also, with higher technology, and stronger firepower.

At the end of the game, after Samus destroyes [[Dark Samus]] and the [[Aurora Unit]], the Phazon everywhere supposedly gets destroyed, or it is in such a little amount that it doesn't matter. This would end the Phazon spiel, and thus ending the purpose of the ''Metroid Trilogy''.
