Thardus is eventually immobilized in [[Phendrana Drifts|Phendrana Drifts']] [[Quarantine Cave]], and the Space Pirates have plans to relocate it;<ref>{{cite|Project Titan specimen is immobilized in Quarantine Cave.

The chaotic nature of Phazon caused weaknesses in Thardus' structural integrity. At first, Samus is unable to target Thardus' weak points due to Phazon radiation given off, but by using her [[Thermal Visor]], she is able to target the high concentrations of radioactivity given off by the Phazon Energy, which binds the stones of its body together, and weaknesses in the casing.<ref>{{cite|Phazon ore appears to bind through Phazon energy.

After Samus destroys the weak points found on various parts of Thardus' body, it is no longer able to hold itself together and collapses. | The chaotic nature of Phazon caused weaknesses in Thardus' structural integrity.

After Samus destroys the weak points found on various parts of Thardus' body, it is no longer able to hold itself together and collapses. Thardus attacks by throwing large rocks telekinetically, rolling directly into opponents, and by encasing objects in ice. Once Thardus is destroyed, Samus obtains the [[Spider Ball]] [[upgrade]]. | ||

|entry=An animated, sentient creature of stone charged with [[Phazon]] radiation. The Phazon radiation given off by Thardus negates auto-targeting systems, preventing lock-on. It may be possible to acquire alternate targets with a [[Thermal Visor|different Visor]]. The chaotic nature of [[Phazon Corruption|Phazon irradiation]] leads to instability in its structural integrity. Thardus can encase targets in ice, and its colossal size and strength make it a formidable opponent. | |entry=An animated, sentient creature of stone charged with [[Phazon]] radiation.

*If Samus has obtained the [[Plasma Beam]] or [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]] through [[Sequence Breaking]] before she fights Thardus, she may use them to inflict massive damage in a short amount of time. | |||
