It is obtained after defeating [[Omega Ridley]] in the [[Pirate Homeworld|Pirate Homeworld's]] [[Leviathan]]. It enables Samus to overload targets connected to the Grapple Lasso with Phazon energy when she is using Hypermode. | ||
On | Story-wise, its only purpose in helping Samus is to allow her to destroy Phazon bio-masses, which cannot be destroyed by conventional weaponry, that block Samus's progress in the story. Only three of these biomasses are found in the game; one in the Leviathan in which the Hyper Grapple upgrade is found, one which blocks the path to open a wormhole to [[Phaaze]], and one that blocks the entrance to a sector of Phaaze itself. | ||
Although a powerful weapon, the Hyper Grapple is a situational tool in combat. The Hyper Grapple can be used to quickly dispatch enemies vulnerable to overload by the Grapple Lasso, or to rapidly dump excess Phazon when forced into Hypermode by a [[Space Pirate]]'s [[Phazon Grenade]]. Unfortunately, by the time Samus acquires the Hyper Grapple upgrade, Samus is unlikely to encounter these kinds of enemies. | |||
On Phaaze, however, the Hyper grapple can be strategically used as a life-saving asset. Contrary to the Grapple Voltage's normal modus operandi of "Taking in energy" to heal, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] can expel [[Phazon]] into her enemies, countering the constant accumulation of Phazon that results from exposure to Phaaze's atmosphere. | |||
