The Torvus Lagoon is a room in the Torvus Bog. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
Description[]
The area is always under heavy rain, and a deep mist fills the room. There is a Blast Shield to the left, which Samus Aran can destroy to reveal a Save Station. There are also two doors blocked by a gate, but will not open from that side. A large cascade of flowing water is present near the gate, filling part of the room with water. Samus must enter the water and reach a purple hatch to move on to the next area. There is also a deceased Luminoth keybearer near the entrance, providing information on where to find a Sky Temple Key. After Samus gives the planetary energy from Dark Aether back to Aether, this area becomes considerably clearer.
The Dark Aetherian version of this room is the Poisoned Bog.
