Sanctum (Dark Aether)

''This is about the room on Dark Aether. For the room on Phaaze see Sanctum.''

The Sanctum is the final room in the Sky Temple in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Description
The Sanctum has a small platform looking over a large arena surrounded by a ring of Phazon. Once the Emperor Ing took the last of Dark Aether's planetary energy, it went here. Samus followed it to this room. Once she jumped down to the center of the room, she approached the ball of planetary energy, but tentacles come out of the ground to stop her. Then the Emperor Ing absorbs the energy and Samus is forced to fight it. After taking enough damage, the Emperor covers itself in a shell, and an unknown harmful gas covers the floor. The shell can be climbed on using the Spider Ball. Once all of the tentacles sticking out of the shell have been destroyed, the Emperor Ing comes out of the shell, transfromed. Once the Mutated Emperor Ing has been destroyed, Samus absorbs the planetary energy and some pillars rise out of the ground. Next an 8 minute Countdown begins. By jumping on each of the pillars until she reaches the top, Samus can use the Screw Attack to reach the exit. Because the Sky Temple is an upside-down version of the Great Temple, the Light Aether version of this room is the Temple Sanctuary.
