The '''Emperor Ing''' is a boss from ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. It is the eldest and most powerful [[Ing]] in the Horde. It resides in the [[Sanctum (Sky Temple)|Sanctum]] within the [[Sky Temple]], guarding its [[Energy Controller]], from which it siphons energy.<ref name=body/> Like other Ing, it is a metamorph, and [[Samus Aran|Samus]] battles it in multiple forms.<ref name=head/> When defeated, Samus takes the last of [[Dark Aether]]'s planetary energy, initiating a [[Countdown]] to Dark Aether's destruction.

Its first form is stationary, with tentacles protruding from its head. In this form, it uses several melee attacks with its tentacles. It also fires several bursts of Dark Energy, but these can be easily dodged in [[Morph Ball]] form. Samus can damage the tentacles with several weapons, the [[Seeker Missile]] being the most effective. Once the tentacles are destroyed, the head will retract, revealing its eye.<ref name=head/> In this form, it fires energy beams, but cannot reach near its body with them. The eye is covered with a rotating shield that has two gaps that Samus can fire through with various weapons.<ref name=eye/> After enough damage has been dealt to the eye, the head returns and generates more tentacles than before. It continues to use its melee attacks and the Dark Energy attack, but it gains two new attacks; it can now pound on the ground with its tentacles, leaving them quite vulnerable to [[Power Bomb]]s, and it can begin teleporting its tentacles throughout the room in an attempt to attack Samus. The cycle repeats until the eye has been seriously damaged, beginning the next phase.
The Emperor Ing's first form is stationary, with tentacles protruding from its head. In this form, it uses several melee attacks with its tentacles. It also fires bursts of Dark Energy, but these can be easily dodged in [[Morph Ball]] form. Samus can damage the tentacles with a variety of weapons.
 
Once each tentacle is destroyed, the head will retract, revealing its eye.<ref name=head/> In this form it fires a sustained energy beam that travels slowly and has limited range near its body; these crimson beams are quite potent and will impede Samus's ability to aim briefly if they make contact. The eye is covered with a rotating shield that is impervious to weapons, but that has two vulnerable gaps on a single axis that Samus can fire through.<ref name=eye/>
 
After enough damage has been dealt to the eye, the head returns and generates more tentacles than before. It continues to use its melee attacks and the Dark Energy attack, but it gains two new attacks: it will now pound on the ground with its tentacles, leaving them quite vulnerable to [[Power Bomb]]s, and will begin using transdimensional teleportation to send its tentacles throughout the room in an attempt to attack Samus.
 
The cycle repeats until the eye has been seriously damaged, beginning the next phase.

After it has taken enough damage to its eye, the Emperor Ing's head swallows the body, forming a shell to shield itself while it heals. Poison gas fills the room, but the shell is magnetically charged, allowing Samus to cling to the shell using her [[Spider Ball]]. Its shell is covered in weak points that can be damaged now. It will generate tentacles in these weak points to knock Samus away from them. Samus can either drop [[Morph Ball Bomb]]s near the tentacles to destroy them or use Power Bombs to destroy multiple tentacles at once.<ref name=chrysalis/> [[Inglet]]s appear in this time period, allowing Samus to regain health easily by destroying them. After all weak points are damaged, the Emperor Ing emerges from its shell and the next phase begins.
After it has taken enough damage to its eye, the Emperor Ing's head swallows the body, forming a nearly impervious regenerative shell in which to shield itself while it heals. Poisonous gas fills the room, but the shell is magnetically charged, allowing Samus to cling to the shell using her [[Spider Ball]].
 
The shell has 11 weak points on its surface that can be damaged with Morph Ball weaponry. The Emperor Ing will generate tentacles in these weak points if Samus comes near to knock her away. Samus can either drop [[Morph Ball Bomb]]s near the tentacles to destroy them or use Power Bombs to destroy multiple tentacles at once.<ref name=chrysalis/>
 
[[Inglet]]s appear during this phase, allowing Samus to regain health easily by destroying them. After all weak points are damaged, the Emperor Ing emerges from its shell and the next phase begins.

===Mutated Emperor Ing===
===Mutated Emperor Ing===
After the shell is destroyed, the Emperor Ing will emerge in a form similar in appearance to a [[Warrior Ing]]. Like Warrior Ing, it can fire transdimensional energy beams, but unlike Warrior Ing, it can fire multiple beams simultaneously. It is also capable of firing a sustained blast of the [[Light Beam]] or [[Dark Beam]]. It attacks by ramming and jumping at Samus some of the time. It also attacks by creating swarms of [[Nightbarb]]s and swarms of white slug-like creatures. It covers its weak point with a shield impervious to the Light and Dark Beams, only vulnerable to the [[Power Beam]] or [[Super Missile]]s. After a Super Missile hits the weak point, it covers its weak point with barriers that can be damaged with a beam of the opposite polarity or the [[Annihilator Beam]]. After a long and grueling battle, Samus defeats the mutated monstrosity and reclaims the last of Dark Aether's energy.<ref name=mutated/>
[[File:Emperor Ing 3.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Emperor Ing's final form]]
After the shell is destroyed, the Emperor Ing, now further mutated by [[Phazon]], will emerge in a form similar in appearance to a [[Warrior Ing]]. Like Warrior Ing, it can fire transdimensional energy beams, but unlike them, it can fire multiple beams simultaneously. It is also capable of firing a sustained blast of [[Light Beam|light]] or [[Dark Beam|dark]] energy, with Lightblast- and Entangler-like effects. It uses physical attacks, such as ramming and jumping at Samus, but also attacks by creating swarms of [[Nightbarb]]s or of an unnamed flying white creature.


In this form, the Emperor Ing's vulnerable core can render itself impervious to certain types of energy. In its neutral state, the core can be weakened by Samus's full arsenal of [[Arm Cannon]] weaponry, including [[Power Beam|beam]], [[Missile|concussion]], and [[Beam Combo|combination]] weapons. Once it has been sufficiently weakened, the core will erect a barrier that can only be damaged by a beam of opposite polarity or the [[Annihilator Beam]], indicated by a change in the color of the core.<ref name=mutated/> After a long and grueling battle, Samus defeats the mutated monstrosity and claims the last of Dark Aether's energy.
