Artifact of Strength
Upon arriving at theMonitor Station, players should use the platforms around the room’s perimeter to reach the bridge that leads to the Phendrana Drifts North elevator. There is a suspended platform to the left of this bridge, and fans should useMetroid Prime Remastered’s Space Jump Bootsto reach it and the jump up one more level to access the top of the central structure. Here, players will find a Spinner, and they should enter it in Morph Ball form and use Boost Ball while inside to raise a bridge. This bridge leads to a path that fans should follow to the Warrior Shrine, a small room that houses the Artifact of Strength.
Artifact of Elder
Players that are searching for the third Artifact should set their sights on the Phendrana Drifts' Research Labs. More specifically, they should make their way to theControl Towerwithin this area, jump on top of itsEast Tower, and destroy the crates that they encounter at that location. This destruction will allow fans to peer through the window that was previously-blocked by the crates, and they will see that there are several orange cells situated next to a nearby tower. Hitting those cells with a Missile will cause the tower to collapse into the Control Tower, and players should pass through the Morph Ball hole that is directly in front of it to reach the Artifact of Elder.
Artifact of Wild
The first step toward obtaining the fourth Artifact is to navigate to the Chozo Ruins’Sun Tower. In this room, players should use Missiles to destroy the War Wasp Hives that line the walls and then equip the Scan Visor in order to locate two Cordite wall hangs. These wall sculptures can be destroyed withSuper Missiles inMetroid Prime Remastered, and fans should scan the runic symbols that were hiding behind them. Players must then scan two more runic symbols, which are on two of the room’s columns, and climb the Spider Ball Track to reach theSunchamber.
Upon entering this room, players will encounter threeChozo Ghosts inMetroid Prime Remastered, and all of them must be defeated. The Artifact of Wild will appear in the center of the room when the job is done, putting fans one step closer to completing their journeys.
Artifact of Lifegiver
Players should make their way to the Chozo Ruins’Ruined Shrine, the room in which the Morph Ball is obtained, and Boost Ball on the half-pipe to reach a Spider Ball Track. This track can be used to access theTower of Light, and players should fall into the pool of water at the bottom of this tall room. Fans should then useMetroid Prime Remastered’s Gravity Suitto move through the water and reach a Wave Beam door that leads to the Artifact of Lifegiver.
Artifact of Warrior
After making a save in the Phazon Mines' Main Quarry, players should pass through Mine Security and enterElite Research. There is a large tank in this room, which fans should destroy with one ofMetroid Prime Remastered’s Power Bombsin order to release the Phazon Elite. Players will receive the Artifact of Warrior upon defeating this enemy, and Super Missiles are a great option for bringing it down quickly.
Artifact of Chozo
Players should dive into the pool of water in the Tallon Overworld’sLife Grove, the room in whichMetroid Prime Remastered’s X-Ray Visoris obtained, to find a metal circle. Placing a Morph Ball Bomb on this metal circle will cause a Spinner to emerge from the ground, and using Boost Ball within it will reveal the Artifact of Chozo.
Artifact of Nature
There is a large pillar emerging from the lava on the side of Magmoor Caverns’Lava Lakeclosest to the Lake Tunnel. Activating the X-Ray Visor will reveal that the Artifact Nature is hidden with this pillar, and it can be set free by hitting the pillar with a Super Missile.
Artifact of Sun
Players should use the platforms around the perimeter of the Phendrana Drifts’Chozo Ice Templeto reach its highest level. Here, fans will encounter a statute with ice streaming from its mouth, and they should useMetroid Prime Remastered’s Plasma Beamto melt that ice. Players should then enter the statue’s hands in Morph Ball form to reveal a path below it leading to the Artifact of Sun.
Artifact of World
There are three colorful circles in the Chozo Ruins’Hall of Elders, and players should hit the red one with the Plasma Beam. This action will transform the circle into a Morph Ball slot, and placing one ofMetroid Prime Remastered’s Morph Ball Bombsinside it will cause the statue in the room to move and reveal a path that fans can use to reach the Artifact of World.
Artifact of Spirit
Players should use the platforms andMetroid Prime Remastered’s Grapple Beamto climb the Phendrana Drifts’Phendrana’s Edge. As fans near the top of this tall room, they should activate the Thermal Visor to reveal that there is a door hidden behind a rock wall. This wall can be destroyed with the help of a Power Bomb, and the Artifact of Spirit is just past the Plasma Beam door.
Artifact of Newborn
Players that roll to the far right in the Phazon Mines’Phazon Mining Tunnelwill eventually encounter a section that is completely covered with Phazon. This section can be safely traversed so long asMetroid Prime Remastered’s Omega Piratehas been defeated and the Phazon Suit has been obtained, and players should use Morph Ball Bombs to clear the stalagmites that they encounter on their way to the Artifact of Newborn.
