Transit Station (Sanctuary Fortress)

The Transit Station is a room in the Sanctuary Fortress. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, called such due to its frequent portals to the Hive Portal Chamber, which is part of a sequence to collect a Power Bomb Expansion. It also contains two harmful lasers.

The Dark Aether version of the room was the Hive Portal Chamber.

Connecting rooms[]

Reactor Core (via Yellow Hatch)
Hive Portal Chamber (via 2 Dark Portals)
Main Research (via Blue Door)

Inhabitants[]

First Visit[]

2 Luminoth Turrets: "Mechanism: Luminoth Turret; Automated heavy defense system.; Heavy beam weapon system of Luminoth design. Evade its fire with quick movement."

Future Visits[]

2 Rezbits (after Power Bomb Expansion is acquired): "Mechanism: Rezbit; Rogue patrol drone.; Variable beam cannon and digital virus delivery system makes target very dangerous. Barrier shield and phasing power help protect it from damage."

Items[]

Power Bomb Expansion: Requires Power Bombs. Samus must follow the maze in this room and its dark counterpart to reach the expansion.

Scans[]

Dark Portal (inactive): "This rift portal is inactive.
The portal field can be energized with dark energy. Walk into an energized portal to transport to Dark Aether."

Dark Portal (active): "This portal is active.
Walk into the portal to transport to Dark Aether. Extreme caution recommended once transit is complete."

Spider Ball Track: "System: Spider Ball Track; Magnetic rail system track.; In Morph Ball mode, press and hold R* when close to this type of surface. Use Control Stick to move the Ball along the track. Release R* to disengage from the surface.; CAUTION: A Morph Ball Bomb will briefly disengage the Ball from the track."

Blast Door: "Structural analysis complete.
Blast door has been weakened by heavy radiation in area. The secondary Denzium in its frame is degenerating at a slow but constant rate."

Trivia[]

Alternatively, Samus can use a combined series of Slope Jumps and the Screw Attack to reach the Power Bomb Expansion.^[1] This method bypasses the need to use the Dark Portals within this room.
- Although very difficult, this Expansion can also be obtained successfully without the Spider Ball.
