The "gravity cove" is a room in Burenia. It appears in Metroid Dread.
Description[]
The gravity cove is a subterranean room in Burenia. This is where Samus finally acquires the Gravity Suit after traversing much of underwater Burenia without it. The cove is split into multiple segments, which can only be accessed from the adjacent rooms: the chamber with the Gravity Suit, a narrow underwater corridor in the middle, and a passage underneath that. The latter two are entered from the prior room via tunnels. The corridor is a narrow tunnel that opens up before a door into a large shaft, through which Samus accesses the upper chamber. Most of the room is natural, with underwater species of barnacles, coral and plants visible, along with a slow stream of bubbles. The sole inhabitants of the room are a Dizzean swarm in the middle hallway.
By dropping a massive platform in the next room, Samus can open the door into the Gravity Suit's chamber. There is a large pipe in the background, directly underneath a platform with the Chozo Statue holding the Gravity Suit. Said platform is above the water, marking the end of Samus's trek through the water with it hindering her movement. Two streams of excess water spill from holes in the back wall, although they do not increase the level of water below. The Statueroom theme plays in this part of the room, while lower Burenia's theme plays in the rest of it. Several barnacles and corals have grown over the walls in this part of the gravity cove. When Samus collects the Gravity Suit, a cutscene plays in which she jumps from the floor as it is absorbed into her Varia Suit.
The lowest passage has a Power Bomb Tank in it, guarded by Power Bomb and Boost Blocks. To acquire the item, Samus must have the Power Bombs and run through the previous room until the Speed Booster activates. Then, Samus must Slide into the lower chamber, quickly lay a Power Bomb and then Ball Spark into the Boost Blocks in the tunnel. The tank will be automatically acquired.
