Omega Ridley is Meta Ridley infused with Phazon.
Biography
After his fall in Generator C's shaft, Meta Ridley was revived and regenerated through Phazon exposure. As a result, he has been energized to a new combat threat level. He has a very durable, Phazon-enhanced armorskin and protective armored plating. He has an injury that has not yet fully healed, which is his only weak point. He will try to protect this injury, requiring Samus Aran to stun him and leave the injury open for strong attacks.[1] Samus encounters him on the Pirate Homeworld protecting the planet's Leviathan.
The battle
Samus must stun Omega Ridley by shooting inside his mouth while it is flashing. Samus must then use the Grapple Beam to rip off Omega Ridley's armor and overload the wound with Phazon. After this process has been done a number of times, Omega Ridley will generate Phazite armor. The X-Ray Visor must be used in cooperation with the Nova Beam to penetrate the Phazite armor. After this phase, Omega Ridley will continually fly around the room with his wound exposed. Samus must then use her PED Suit to overload the exposed wound with Phazon.
