Features[edit | edit source]

This large room surrounds an aged tree that has weakened due to Phazon and Denzium exposure. An embellished Half-Pipe rests in front of the entrance to the Grove Access, and two sections of what appear to be a giant Half-Pipe structure run between the entrance to the Underground Tunnel and the opposing wall.

Several Space Pirate Crates and a few Phazon canisters hint at a Space Pirate presence in this area of Torvus. When Samus firsts visits Torvus Grove, she's ambushed by two Pirate Commandos. In subsequent visits she sometimes encounters Dark Pirate Commandos. The room acts as little more than a hub between a Portal, the Torvus Temple, and the Forgotten Bridge.

The large tree can be damaged by detonating a Power Bomb beneath its weakened trunks, and when it collapses it will impact a section of the wall, revealing a Missile Expansion.
