Hive Chamber A is a room in the Temple Grounds. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Description[]

The Hive Chamber is at the bottom of a drop shaft in the Hive Access Tunnel. The room contains several devices dispensing pesticide, a pile of dead Splinters, many crates and a GF Gate Mk VI blocking the way to the next area. The air in the room is filled with pesticide, which was responsible for the death of said Splinters; however, thanks to her Oxygen Supply Equipment, it cannot harm Samus.

The area after the gate consists of a narrow hallway. It has a cargo pod blocking access to the final part, which can be opened with a nearby panel, and two piles of dead Splinters. The final part contains several crates, computer terminals that may be holoscreens, Luminoth Webbing shells, a Map Station, and a door leading to the Hive Tunnel.

After restoring energy to the Agon Wastes Samus can face the Dark Missile Trooper here. This is optional, and if the Trooper is faced and defeated the Missile Expansion it drops indicates that the Ing that stole Samus's Missile Launcher possessed the Trooper.
