'''Quadraxis''' is an enormous, quadrupedal mechanoid built by the [[Luminoth]]. It serves as the Guardian of the [[Ing Hive|Ing Hive's]] [[Energy Controller]]. During her battle against it, {{Samus}} constantly takes damage from [[Dark Aether|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 at [[Aether|Aether's]] [[Sanctuary Fortress|Sanctuary]] Temple.
'''Quadraxis''' is an enormous, quadrupedal mechanoid built by the [[Luminoth]]. It serves as the Guardian of the [[Ing Hive|Ing Hive's]] [[Energy Controller]].


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.
==Properties==
Quadraxis was probably designed and constructed by [[O-Lir]], the last the [[Sentinel of the Temple|Sentinel]] of the [[Sanctuary Temple]].<ref>{{cite|Hear the words of O-Lir, last Sentinel of the Fortress Temple. May they serve you well. This used to be a great fortress, a safe haven for our people during the war. It also holds portals to the Ing Hive, the heart of their dark tribe. During the war, I built a number of mechanical sentinels to join me in battle. They were made to fight the Ing, and fight them they did...for a time. One by one, the Ing corrupted them. Now, they attack with no mercy. Many went to Dark Aether with their Ing masters.|O-Lir|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref> It has a similar design to [[Quad]]s, sharing many abilities, but is several times larger and equipped with more advanced tactical systems.
 
In addition to an upgraded [[Annihilator Beam|mater-antimatter]] weapon system, the Head Module of the Quadraxis unit is also capable of functioning without the main body, with limited capacity. The tactical control unit, within the main body of the Quadraxis unit, can send instructions when the modules are separated via high-sonic frequency transmissions.
 
Though Samus only encounters one complete Quadraxis unit, she does find several [[#Gallery|components]] of an incomplete unit in the [[Sanctuary Temple]]. The platforms she uses to navigate the room appear to be scaffolding used in the unit's construction. These pieces are identical to the components used in the Ing-controlled Quadraxis unit. When these components were made, and the reason why the unit was not completed, is unclear.


After defeating Quadraxis, Samus can obtain the Annihilator Beam.

[[File:Quadraxis Possessed.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Quadraxis becoming possessed]]
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.
The battle takes place in a large circular arena with no safe zones; Samus is constantly taking damage from [[Dark Aether]]'s atmosphere.


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, and although Samus can disable the generators, they will reactivate.
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. Each of the knees will become vulnerable when she uses her [[Boost Ball]] ability to damage the red orb at the bottom of each foot. Once several knees are destroyed, it will begin to use more powerful attacks, such as the Disruptor or its tornado attack.


After its main body is disabled, the Head Module will detach and continue to engage Samus. 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.

After the three receivers are destroyed, the shield will drop and the Head Module will shatter the armor around the main body's legs, revealing [[Spider Ball Track]]s beneath.

Quadraxis is an enormous, quadrupedal mechanoid built by the Luminoth. It serves as the Guardian of the Ing Hive's Energy Controller.

Properties[edit | edit source]

Quadraxis was probably designed and constructed by O-Lir, the last the Sentinel of the Sanctuary Temple.[1] It has a similar design to Quads, sharing many abilities, but is several times larger and equipped with more advanced tactical systems.

In addition to an upgraded mater-antimatter weapon system, the Head Module of the Quadraxis unit is also capable of functioning without the main body, with limited capacity. The tactical control unit, within the main body of the Quadraxis unit, can send instructions when the modules are separated via high-sonic frequency transmissions.

Though Samus only encounters one complete Quadraxis unit, she does find several components of an incomplete unit in the Sanctuary Temple. The platforms she uses to navigate the room appear to be scaffolding used in the unit's construction. These pieces are identical to the components used in the Ing-controlled Quadraxis unit. When these components were made, and the reason why the unit was not completed, is unclear.

Battle[edit | edit source]

Quadraxis becoming possessed

The battle takes place in a large circular arena with no safe zones; Samus is constantly taking damage from Dark Aether's atmosphere.

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. Each of the knees will become vulnerable when she uses her Boost Ball ability to damage the red orb at the bottom of each foot. Once several knees are destroyed, it will begin to use more powerful attacks, such as the Disruptor or its tornado attack.

First Location: Hive Temple Limited Scan
The Quadraxis unit went rogue and entered the service of the Ing. Its primary weapon system fires destructive matter-antimatter blasts. It uses a powerful Missile battery for long-distance attacks. The Quadraxis is incredibly durable and well-armored, but its leg and foot joints are vulnerable. Damaging these joints will eventually render it immobile.[2]
