A Thermal Trapdoor that has been permanently closed through redirecting the flow of thermal power.
A Thermal Trapdoor (『サーマルトラップドア』)[1] is a type of door obstacle in Metroid Dread. Five of them appear in Cataris, and two in a single room in Artaria (seven total), blocking access to areas until the lava flow is redirected. When this is done, the doors open by spreading apart and retracting into the walls.
Unlike Thermal Doors, which prevent entrance to entire rooms, Thermal Trapdoors only block off sections of rooms. In some instances, changing the direction of thermal energy causes Thermal Trapdoors to close permanently, necessitating taking an alternate route. Open and closed Thermal Trapdoors are marked on the Map; if the Highlight Icons option is activated, closed doors are marked with yellow outlines, and open doors with grey.
When fighting Experiment No. Z-57, a Thermal Trapdoor on the roof prevents Samus from escaping. It unlocks once the beast is defeated.
