Omega Pirate: Difference between revisions

|rewards=[[Phazon Suit]]

The '''Omega Pirate''', also known Elite Pirate Upsilon, is the most powerful of the [[Elite Pirate]] forces and the pinnacle of [[Project Helix]]. Its body is more resilient than that of an Elite Pirate and it is capable of absorbing [[Phazon]] to regenerate, becoming invisible when it does.<ref name="Logbook"/> Due to a design flaw in its energy absorption system not present in its Elite Pirate counterparts, it remains vulnerable to Missiles while attempting to siphon energy from beam weapons.<ref>{{cite|Omega Pirate Absorption System test results are in. Field tests indicate that the system is very effective against Beam weaponry. We are alarmed at the field's inability to handle Missile attacks, however. Science Team is working around the clock to correct this critical design flaw. The Omega Pirate cannot afford such a weakness in battle.|[[Space Pirate Data]]|Metroid Prime}}</ref>  

== The Battle ==

Shortly after [[Samus Aran|Samus]] enters its quarters, the Omega Pirate will shatter its stasis pod. Samus has to destroy the Phazon plates on its knees and shoulders, causing it to collapse. After collapsing the Omega Pirate will become invisible while two to three Pirate Troopers arrive to assist it. Eventually the Omega Pirate will appear in one of three veins of Phazon in the chamber to regenerate the plates, but it is completely vulnerable during this time. Samus must use the [[X-Ray Visor]] to target it, after blasting it enough the Omega Pirate will disappear again only to reappear at another vein of Phazon. If Samus damages it enough before it has finished regenerating, it will call for more reinforcements. Once defeated, it will collapse directly on top of Samus before disintegrating. The Phazon inside the Omega Pirate corrupts Samus's suit giving her the [[Phazon Suit]].
