The '''Sky Temple Gateway''' is, as the name would imply, the room containing the gateway to the [[Sky Temple]], in the [[Sky Temple Grounds]]. It appears in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' and is the dark version of the [[Hall of Honored Dead]].

==Description==
<onlyinclude>The temple requires the 10 [[Sky Temple Key]]s to gain access, but [[A-Kul]] managed to use her key, so [[Samus]] is only required to collect the remaining nine, scattered throughout [[Dark Aether]]. A-Kul's corpse can be found and her [[Luminoth Lore#Keybearer Lore|Keybearer Lore]] entry can be scanned as well as [[A-Kul's Clues|clues]] written within the surrounding pillars about where to find the nine remaining keys (after placing a Sky Temple Key into one of the pillars, scanning it again reveals a secret message).

After Samus has defeated the [[Emperor Ing]] in the Sky Temple, Dark Aether begins to collapse. Once she leaves the temple and reaches the gateway, a deteriorating [[Dark Samus]] suddenly blocks off the only exit available. After the doppleganger is defeated however, another wall of Phazon deteriorates and reveals a never before-seen [[Light Portal]]. Samus scans it and escapes [[Dark Aether]], while several [[Warrior Ing]] try to stop her and break through the portal.</onlyinclude>

==Trivia==
[[File:Dark Samus 3 Pre-Battle Image.png|right|thumb|200px|If paused at the right frame, part of the Dark Samus 3 pre-battle cutscene can be seen through Samus's HUD.]]
*The room's purpose is quite similar to the [[Artifact Temple]] in ''[[Metroid Prime]]''. Like the Artifact Temple, the Sky Temple Gateway is the access to the final area of the game, several items must be collected before access is authorized, and there are [[Lore]] entries on several objects there that will give hints on the locations of the items.
*Interestingly the Light Shaft leading to the Sky Temple can be used if Samus does not have the [[Light Suit]]. This can only be seen by hacking as Samus would normally need the Light Suit to acquire some of the Sky Temple Keys to proceed. Because of this, it is possible to see the ending wearing the [[Varia Suit]] or the [[Dark Suit]]. 
*In a split second frame after the Dark Samus 3 pre-battle cutscene, immediately as Samus regains control and the screen shifts to her point of view once more, an image of said pre-battle cutscene can be seen through Samus's HUD before the official start of the fight. The split second image displays Dark Samus before positioning herself for battle and oddly another Samus, likely used for cutscene purposes.
