The Stairwell is a room on the G.F.S. Valhalla. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Description[]
The Stairwell is similar in layout to the Docking Bay Access on the G.F.S. Olympus. The room has two floors, the highest of which is not immediately accessible. The first floor contains a Fuse Hint Scanbot displaying information about an Energy Cell. There are also two access ramps, but one of the two is completely broken, and the other is powerless. There are two Energy Cell Stations, both blocked by Meltable Metal that is susceptible to high-temperature weaponry. Once two Energy Cells are placed in the Stations, the left ramp will rise, allowing several Phaz-Ing to enter the room. Scattered around the room are several Galactic Federation Crates.
Connecting rooms[]

- Weapons Cache (via Blue Door)

- Tallon IV Incident
- "Planet Tallon IV, formerly a Chozo colony, was struck by a stellar object 50 years ago. Object was later determined to contain large quantities of Phazon. The Chozo were able to stave off the spread of Phazon, at the cost of many Chozo lives. The survivors abandoned the planet, fleeing to an unknown location. Decades later, Hunter Samus Aran responded to a distress call in the sector and discovered a Space Pirate Phazon mining station there. Aran eliminated both the pirate and Phazon threat from the planet, though not without cost."

Development notes[]
The room's internal name is 0k_abandoned_stairwell, named after its G.F.S. Olympus counterpart h01_gfship_stairwell (Docking Bay Access) which has a similar layout, but different locations on their respective ships and different connecting rooms. The keyword abandoned indicates the G.F.S. Valhalla, and the alphabetic prefix 0k indicates that this is the eleventh and final junction room on the G.F.S. Valhalla.
