'''Quadraxis''' is an enormous, quadrupedal mechanoid built by the [[Luminoth]]. It serves as the Guardian of the [[Ing Hive]]'s [[Energy Controller]]. During her battle against it, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] constantly takes damage from [[Dark Aether]]'s atmosphere due to a lack of Safe Zones. | |||
Although Samus only encounters one Quadraxis unit, there are parts to an incomplete unit in [[Aether]]'s [[Sanctuary Fortress]]. | |||
Quadraxis has a similar design to [[Quad]]s, sharing several abilities. Quadraxis's version of the spin attack sucks in any nearby objects. The Head Module is also capable of functioning without the main body, with limited capacity. | |||
Quadraxis | |||
After defeating Quadraxis, Samus can obtain the Annihilator Beam. | |||

Shortly after Samus enters the Hive Temple, Quadraxis is possessed by an Ing and activates. Its legs will begin rotating around its body, and occasionally, one of its knees will become vulnerable. Even if Samus destroys the casing around a knee, it can still remain active. Once several knees are destroyed, it will begin to use more powerful attacks, such as the Disruptor or its tornado attack. | |||

Its primary weapon is the [[Annihilator Beam]], which it will use to fire both normal and Disruptor blasts. Samus can evade the Disruptor blast with the Boost Ball or use the [[Screw Attack]] to deflect it. If she fails to dodge it, she will become temporarily stunned. Quadraxis is also armed with homing Missiles and a rapid-firing turret. Its legs are capable of creating shock waves. | Its primary weapon is the [[Annihilator Beam]], which it will use to fire both normal and Disruptor blasts.

The main body will send transmissions to the Head Module, instructing it remotely. While receiving signals, the Head will raise a impregnable shield. If Samus uses her [[Echo Visor]], she can target the antenna on the main body to temporarily disable it, causing the shield to drop. She can then target the receivers on the Head Module. Each time a receiver is destroyed, the Head Module will send out [[Dark Quad]]s. | ||

The shield around the Head Module will also be permanently disengaged. After stunning it, Samus can climb the tracks and then [[Boost Ball|Boost]] to the magnetically charged surface on the head. After dropping [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bombs]] in the exposed vulnerabilities, the Head Module will crash into the ground and explode. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*Quadraxis is probably the largest boss [[Samus Aran|Samus]] has ever fought. Other large bosses are [[Kraid]], [[Flaahgra]], [[Omega Pirate]], [[Mogenar]], [[Omega Ridley]], and [[Amorbis]]. | |||
*In an interview with {{Wp|IGN|IGN}}, Bryan Walker of [[Retro Studios]] stated that the battle against Quadraxis was his favorite moment in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''.<ref>{{Cite person| quote= My favorite part about Metroid Prime 2 is the Quadraxis battle. It's the biggest boss that's ever been in a Metroid Prime game, just physically. It's also one of the most grueling. But I think it's just the most logically laid out of the boss encounters in that you have to take this massive structure down, bit by bit, in a realistic way,| name= Bryan Walker| url= http://wii.ign.com/articles/101/1016511p6.html| title= A Space Bounty Hunter in Texas}}</ref> | |||
