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.

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]]s through [[Sequence Breaking]] before she fights Thardus, she may use them to inflict massive damage in a short amount of time. | |||
*If Samus returns to the exact spot where Thardus was found, an adult [[Sheegoth]] (which itself was the main enemy in a boss battle) can be found resting there instead. | |||
