The Hive Temple is a room in the Ing Hive. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
Description[]
The Hive Temple cannot be accessed until Samus has placed all three Hive Temple Keys in their locks at Hive Temple Access. There are three ledges looking over a large arena with a large robot in the center. One of the ledges is connected to a lift that leads down into the center of the temple. Once Samus enters the room and rides the lift or jumps to the center of the temple, the robot known as Quadraxis awakens and gets possessed by several Ing. There are no Safe Zones during this battle, so Samus must collect Energy Capsules to regain health. Once Samus defeats Quadraxis, its head will fall, explode, and leave behind the Annihilator Beam. Once Samus collects it, a structure rises out of the center of the room. After climbing to the top of it using the Spider Ball, Samus can use the Screw Attack to reach the other two ledges. The Light Aether version of this room is the Sanctuary Temple.
