The Grand Court Path is a passageway in the Bryyo Cliffside, explored by Samus Aran while attempting to find a way to reach the G.F.S. Theseus in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. This enclosed corridor contains a stair-like structure, leading to a small chamber. The chamber leads to a second corridor, blocked by Phazon vines. These growths can be destroyed by Hyper Beam blasts, after which Samus can continue into a stone hallway that contains Bryyo Coffers. There is an upper level that can be accessed, leading to a Missile Expansion and a view of the room's hallway through a stone enclosure. It may also be seen from the chamber room.
