Frost Cave

Frost Cave is a room in the Phendrana Drifts area of Tallon IV in Metroid Prime. It is a very large cave where visible deposits of what appears to be Phazon line the walls. All of the room's doors are high up, overlooking the frozen lake in the center. There are many ledges around the edges to access these doors, as well as three stalactites with weak bases hanging from the ceiling. Firing a Missile at each of these causes it to fall, rendering other doors reachable.

A Glider flying around the room acts as a Grapple Beam point to reach a ledge from which Samus can aim at the highest stalactite in the cave. Shooting this one down causes it to land on the frozen lake, breaking through the ice and revealing a Missile Expansion below the surface.

A Hidden World can be found in this room: [1].

Connecting rooms[]

Inhabitants[]

1 Hunter Metroid (not in original European and Australian versions or the Player's Choice GameCube versions) (first visit) [2]
1 Glider
2 Flying Pirates (after obtaining the Gravity Suit)

Items[]

Missile Expansion: With the Grapple Beam, Samus must swing from the Glider to the highest point in the room. Once there, she must look at the ceiling and find a stalactite with a weak spot. She must then start firing Missiles at it; it may take several tries to knock down the stalactite.
