Missile Expansion: This expansion is located in the centre of the room, amidst a cluster of Venom Weed. Samus can use her Beam to retract the Weed to allow safe passage and collection of the expansion without being harmed by the Venom Weed.

Scans[]

Roots: "A small gap exists in the tree's root structure."
Saturnine: "Species: Saturnine
Small iridescent mushroom. Typically grows in dank, dark regions."

Trivia[]

The White door leading to Frigate Crash Site can be opened with the Phazon Beam (via hacking) and only from this side.
