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. 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]].
