Trial Grounds

From Metroid Wiki


The Trial Grounds is a room used by the Ing to conduct rites of passage in Dark Agon Wastes.[1] These rites of passage consisted of prearranged gladiatorial battles between young Ing and fierce opponents.[2] A Luminoth corpse that Samus can discover here is the remains of one such opponent.[3]
