The '''Fault Line''' is a room on [[Arcterra]]. It appears in ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]''.

==Description==
<onlyinclude>The Fault Line is the location of several items, and the second [[Stronghold Portal]] on Arcterra. When [[Samus Aran]] first enters, she must destroy several [[Quadtroid]]s to disable a [[Force Field]] ahead of her. The [[Attameter Artifact]] for the second [[Stronghold Void]] is found here, behind another Force Field in addition to a [[Shock Barrier]].</onlyinclude>

From there, a fork in the road exists, but the paths lead to the same destination. Samus steps into a large arena-like chamber with a massive Force Field above her head, and the [[Arctic Spawn]] appears. Samus is successful in destroying the beast, which leaves behind [[Imperialist]] for her own use. On-screen instructions for using the precision and zoom features appear, and direct Samus to a [[red crystal switch]] just above her. Upon sniping this, the Force Field above her head will disappear. A [[lift]] then activates to take her up to the top.

At the top of the Fault Line, two exits are present. At first, one is sealed in by more Force Fields, while the other yields a [[Jump Pad]] for Samus's use. Through the former exit, a [[Portal]] leading back to the [[Arcterra Gateway]] can be scanned to activate it. She must shoot two red crystal switches to disable the Force Fields barring access to the Portal. Alternatively, well-timed jumps can allow Samus to shoot the switches from the opposite side of the Force Field on her first visit to the Fault Line, saving time. The Jump Pad area yields an open-air canyon, upon which [[Psycho Bit v4.0]] units appear from an [[EnemySpawner]]. These robotic foes reward Samus with a [[Shield Key]] for destroying them.

The [[Artifact Shield]] lowers, but the Shock Barrier remains to be taken care of by Samus. Towards the entrance of the canyon is the [[Gun Turret CPU]]. After scanning this, the Shock Barrier shuts down, allowing Samus to access the Artifact. However, she cannot leave her current location. A [[Weakened Column]] exists atop the central bluff of platforms, and the base can be destroyed with a [[Missile]], creating a usable [[bridge]]. This leads to an alternate exit to the main area of the Fault Line, where the Attameter Artifact is just for the taking.

Samus is last required to cross through this room during the second and last [[countdown|escape]] from Arcterra.

The Fault Line features the [[Lore (Alimbic)|Lore]] entries Seal Sphere 01, Alimbic War 09, Alimbic Prophecy 08, and Oubliette 01. It is the second room where the [[Arcterra (theme)|Arcterra]] theme begins to play, the other two being the [[Ice Hive]] and [[Sanctorus]].

The '''Fault Line''' is also a multiplayer stage. Its many floors, tunnels of ice, and [[Jump Pad]]s, as well as the [[Imperialist]] and [[Battlehammer]], make it easy for any [[Bounty Hunter]] to navigate the area.

Fault Line is not a default stage, and it must be unlocked by playing 22 local games.
