Phazon Pit

The Phazon Pit is a room in the Sky Temple Grounds. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

It is a small open-sky tunnel with two ledges facing each other, with a Grapple Point for swinging across. Below the Grapple Point is a pit of Phazon (from which the room's name originates) which a Dark Tallon Metroid emerges from. A small ledge sticks out from one of the two larger ledges and can be used to jump out of the pit should Samus fall in. The room also gives off small noticeable reflective lighting as time passes, mainly originating from Dark Aether's atmosphere.

The Aether equivalent of this room is Sacred Bridge.

Inhabitants[]

1 Dark Tallon Metroid: "Morphology: Dark Tallon Metroid; Darkling-possessed energy parasite.; Symbiote makes target stronger in battle. Vulnerable to concussive blasts. Dislikes bright light."

Scans[]

Grapple Point (before obtaining Grapple Beam): "Object scan complete.; Analysis indicates a viable attach point for the Grapple Beam.; Grapple Beam module missing. Unable to attach to grapple at this time."

Grapple Point: "System: Grapple Point
Unit is a viable attach point for the Grapple Beam.
To use the Grapple Beam, use L when the icon appears."

Phazon: "Element: Phazon
Volatile ore with biomutagenic properties.
Origin point of Phazon unknown. First detection of element on planet Tallon IV. Used by Space Pirates to produce vast levels of energy."

Trivia[]

In the New Play Control! and Metroid Prime Trilogy versions of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the Impact Crater theme from the original Metroid Prime will play in this room instead of the Dark World Temple theme.
It is possible to reach the door leading to the Phazon Grounds using a Bomb Space Jump, useful in the event the Grapple Beam is skipped. However both this technique and the Grapple Point in this room are rather superfluous as Samus would need to eventually pass this room with the Light Suit. Normally at that time, she will have obtained the Screw Attack, which is the most effective way both across the pit and eliminating the Dark Tallon Metroid present. The former two methods across mainly apply to Samus entering the Phazon Grounds early.
