Ruined Shrine (Chozo Ruins)

The Ruined Shrine is a room in Metroid Prime in the Chozo Ruins.

Description
This room is where you obtain the Morph Ball again. To obtain it, jump on top of a platform when you enter here from the Ruined Shrine Access. Jump down and you will have to fight Beetles. After defeating all of them, you will have to fight the Plated Beetle. To defeat it, shoot it on the red part with the Power Beam or Missiles when it attacks you. You will finally be free to get the Morph Ball. It will show you the location of the Morph Ball in this room right after beating the Plated Beetle. When you get the Morph Ball Bomb, come back to this room and break the circled part of the wall on the right. You will find a Missile Expansion. The third time you enter this room, you need the Wave Beam, Boost Ball, and the Spider Ball. On the platform you jumped on when you first entered this room, use the Boost Ball to get to the top right part. You will find another Missile Expansion just as you found earlier in this room. After getting the Missile Expansion, get on the right Boost Ball ramp and go in the Morph Ball hole. Go a little further and there will be a Spider Ball track to go on. Go on it and pretty soon, you will be led to the Wave Beam door. Shoot it open to go to the Tower of Light Access. Then go to the Tower of Light. In about the third visit, you might have already encountered Chozo Ghosts. They will be in here if you have encountered them already.
