Phazon mass is an obstacle that appears in two rooms on Phaaze, Cavern Beta Access and Drop Shaft. It resembles a large flower bloom and is indestructible due to its hardened shell. To destroy it and access more of the chamber, Samus must let loose her Hyper Ball on several nearby growths (described as "fleshlike blooms") sustaining the mass. Doing so will cause each to explode.
Samus must destroy two in Cavern Beta Access and three in the Drop Shaft to continue on with her exploration. The explosion of a mass is so strong that it will kill nearby Phazon Hoppers, but not Phazon Puffers or Tangle Weed. It also causes a gust of wind to be sucked through the hole it leaves behind.
Another object encountered on Norion and Phaaze, the Phazon Blocker, is described as a "Phazon mass" in its scan. This is destroyed by killing enemies that it has a symbiotic connection with.
Scan[]
"Phazon mass has a hardened shell. Sustained by surrounding growths. Destroying them may damage it."
Note: the Phazon mass can only be scanned in the Drop Shaft, not Cavern Beta Access.
