Stra: this is one of the easiest guardians in the game, it is a warrior ing but with the power to jump great distances, use missiles and then charge shots, I have beaten this boss with using only the uncharged power beam, one special thing though it that it forms a barrier if it is about, it normally at the beginning just jumps onto a ledge and then jumps down, try jumping over the shockwaves and hammering it with either a missile or a charge shot, basically, it jumps more often when you lower it’s health, just try staying within the light crystal area to recover more health then he gives you, other than if you are dumb enough to leave the safety of the crystal and be taken over, there is no problem with this guardian Fourth: Dark Samus (1) (Scan) Cat: Guardian, Pre-Final Boss, First form Guardian, Dam: 20 damage running into you, 20 damage from phazon shield, 30-40 damage phazon missile, 40 damage from phazon ball (some more damage if it hits you more in it), 5 damage each hit from phazon shrapnel, damage from fire if he crashes into a pillar Pick: Nothing, no ammo, no health, nothing Gain: Dark Beam Dif: medium Stra: First round of 5, like a faster version of you with the AI of a computer and extra weapons, strafe away from shrapnel phazon gun, he’ll normally at the beginning try to send a shrapnel blast, then come down, rush, and then try to hit you with his shield, use missiles or charge beam, after I believe ¾ of his health is gone, cut scene, he will form a mini phazon shield around at all times and try to hit you with a VERY POWERFUL missile and a powerful ball of phazon energy, strafe twice at the last moment to dodge the missile, try hiding behind a pillar (a bit far away) and he’ll explode the pillar and give you a sec or 2 to damage him, you can only really attack him after he attacks (his mini phazon shield will go down,) just lock on and shoot whenever his shield is gone, a few more hits and he’ll be dead Cut: He makes a weird noise and then the phazon starts dripping off of him, he goes up into the air and his body partially explodes leaving a cloud of phazon dots floating in the air Fifth: Amorbius (sorry for spelling), Amorbius 2 Cat: Guardian and Guardian Second Form (Big and Bad) Dam: 40 damage if he jumps into you, 30 damage from the initial burial underground if he rams into you. 20 damage and freeze for a while if his dark burst hits you, 20 damage if he rams you (second form) like 10 damage if you hit his lasers (second form), 15 if he expels you (you decide not to damage him) Pick: Energy from light crystals and light beacons, like full health and full missile recovery whenever you damage one of the guardians, light beam ammo works well here as well Gain: Dark Suit, energy from dark Agon Dif: medium to hard Stra: The big bad guardian, and there are three, once you get the 3 dark Agon temple keys, jump down, you can scan the ball in the center, and it says it is made of an extremely powerful alloy and it is feeding energy to the creatures, well anyway, there are 7(?) light beacons/light crystals, stay in one crystal through out the match (unless the crystal is neutralized) Pretty much there is one of them, then two of them, and then finally three of them, Amorbius look like large worms with 2 red eyes and a huge gaping mouth, their first attack is that they burry underground and then come up, it does a he** of damage if it hits you, you can see whenever it is about to come up (look at the quakes and the moving sand to see where he is. When you see him and he is far away, use either missiles or charge shots. Destroy his shell (there are like 6-7 pieces per Amorbius) and he will go into his second form, Amorbius will attach to the giant ball and either try and ram you (just keep out of his range) or use a little dark beam that neutralizes a crystal (just go to another crystal), Kill him by continually shooting his head while in his second form, His head will blow up and you can enter in with your morph ball form, lay a bomb and Amorbius will be damaged, this happens two more times, with one more Amorbi being added each time, also there is a gigantic energy beam attack that will blind you and most likely force you out of a light crystal, the more Amorbius’s there are, the more chaotic it gets!!! Cut: It attaches to the tail and tries to get more energy, it is failing so it moves the dark energy ball up and down, Amorbius explodes and the dark energy ball explodes violently (a bit like emperor ing explosion) leaving the dark suit behind, one note, this room turns into an area of 8-warrior ing at once if you return there to greet you Part 1 done (Dark Suit Acqquired), second part below masky :-)

Posts: 707 Group: Toadette Member #154 Joined: January 2, 2005	This is the second section ending with Chykya, the final boss of the torvus bog Name: Boost Guardian, Inglets Cat: miniboss,(Ing guardian + [helpful] inglet) Dam: 40-200 (puddle), 15 damage for claws, 30 damage from turning into boost ball, 40 from actual boost ball made by his boost ball, up to 5 damage per light blast, inglets do 5 (run into them) to 10 (smack you), CONSTANT DARK DAMAGE Pick: 4 Ultra Energies 100 health per one = 400 health (from 4 pillars, he has to hit them), small and medium energies from inglets Gain: Boost Ball Dif: INTENSE (Hardest Boss) to WTF (on hard mode) Strategy: OMFG this is the hardest boss in the game, right from the beginning, charge light beam and hit him a whole bunch of times, when he turns red he’s transforming and you can’t hit him , JUMP over the boost ball and either try to missile it, or just jump, he will eventually hit a pillar (instant turn into a puddle) or hit him with a missile or charge beam, I recommend saving puddles for the end when he stays out of his normal form, attack inglets whenever they appear (more at the end), in puddle form, IMMEDIATLEY switch to morph ball and bomb it, he’ll transform back, attack him, repeat the process and go berserk whenever you can hit him, Cut: Falls down and explodes Name: Giant Blogg Cat: mini-boss, not dark Dam: 40/50 (charge), 15 (teeth), 10 per chomp (if morphball) Pick: before Battle you obtain Gravity Boost, no health Gain: see Pick, obvious health after Dif: moderate to difficult, difficult on hard mode, annoying to some people, incredibly annoying to others, it matters how you play and how well you use the boots Strategy: Strategy, use a normal charge beam to provoke it, then use fully charged beam, missiles, or dark beam (fully charged ONLY) to hit it, its difficult because it moves really quickly and it does sensational damage, use either sidesteps or the boost to doge, Cut: It runs around the stage and goes up, crashing into the wall exploding, allowing jets to appear in the area Other: There isn’t that much to say about this mini-boss but don’t be too offensive, learn to use boosts before you have to face it if you have trouble CONTINUED LATER
