Area 2



Area 2 (originally known as Phase 3) is an area of SR388 in Metroid II: Return of Samus  and its remake, Metroid: Samus Returns.

It is the third area Samus visits on her mission to exterminate the Metroids of SR388.

Description
After the four Alpha Metroids of Area 1 are defeated, the purple liquid drains, giving Samus access to Area 2. This area is again set in a Chozo settlement, and is the first area where Samus encounters the Gamma Metroids. The optional miniboss Arachnus is also encountered here.

In Samus Returns, the area has been turned into what resembles a hydroelectric power station. There are large lava and water streams being held back with Chozo technology in the background. The largest room of Area 2 consists of a large water dam, with many stalactites hanging from the ceiling. Area 2 has many underground geysers, and there are many large non-hostile creatures that live in the damp caverns.

In both SR388-set games, Samus obtains the High Jump Boots, Spring Ball, Varia Suit and Wave Beam. In Samus Returns, she also obtains the Lightning Armor Aeion ability.
