Changes: Sanctum (Dark Aether)

Revision as of 15:32, 8 July 2012

This is about the room on Dark Aether. For the room on Phaaze see Sanctum (Phaaze).

The Sanctum is the final room in the Sky Temple in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is also the final room to be explored that has not been previously entered.

Description

The Sanctum has a small platform overlooking a large rotunda surrounded by a ring of Phazon. From here, Samus can see the last bit of Aether's planetary energy, which is also the only thing keeping its dark counterpart in existence. When she jumps down and approaches the ball of light, however, the Emperor Ing emerges from the floor and absorbs it, forcing Samus to fight the Ing's mighty leader. After taking enough damage, the Emperor retreats into an impenetrable shell, and Phazon gas slowly rises up from the Sanctum's floor. Once all of the tentacles sticking out of the shell have been destroyed, the Emperor Ing comes out of the shell, transformed. Once the Mutated Emperor Ing has been destroyed, Samus absorbs the planetary energy. With the last of Dark Aether's energy removed, pillars rise out of the ground, and an 8-minute Countdown begins. By jumping on each of the pillars until she reaches the top, Samus can use the Screw Attack to reach the exit. Because the Sky Temple is an upside-down version of the Great Temple, the Light Aether version of this room is the Temple Sanctuary.
