Waiting for you is the final boss, Cylux. But unlike the robots he's used throughout the campaign, this Sylux has massive health and new moves that deal massive damage. In three stages, here's how to defeat the final boss, Sylux, and finally complete Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's campaign.
How to defeat Sylux
Step 1
Sylux isn't playing around this time.
When the battle begins, Shillux becomes immune to all attacks and three nano arms sprout from his body. this arm Damage can only be taken from the glowing green tip.So hitting it primarily requires free aim. Sylux actually only makes one attack during this part, swinging his large nano arms around in hopes of hitting you.
When an ally falls you have to resurrect them Before Sylux could do enough damage to them; otherwise, They will be killed and the fight will be over! Unfortunately, sometimes you may have to prioritize saving over your own health.
Thankfully, arms don't need to take a lot of damage to be individually destroyed. Once it's over The nano arm explodedApproach quickly Use Psychic Lasso to pry it off. This will send Sylux into a fit and chase you around the arena to attack Samus.
repeat this processed twice more Until all three arms were torn from his body. This leaves Sylux unprotected, giving you a short window of time to blast him with missiles. After taking some damage, your nano arms will grow back into their dragon form!
Volatility is very high in this mode You can only damage it by shooting its giant metal head.. This time his attack included a spout. Three fireball bombardments Draw an arc at a time Fires an angled flame beam Around the body.
You can avoid most of these by keeping your distance from Sylux and having your allies draw Sylux's aggro during the fight. but tThe fireball will leave a small, temporary lava pool on the ground.So after this attack, be sure to move to another part of the arena.
Pay close attention to when it comes. Hair starts to glow blueThis means it will be released soon. seize you! If you get caught, you will suffer tremendous damage. Be prepared to dodge.
After Nanoarm's dragon variant takes sufficient damage, They will return to their original form, and he will sprout an extra arm.. Sylux will now introduce a new attack where he puts all four arms on the ground and spins around the arena. This move can be easily avoided by double jumping.
Focus once again on destroying and ripping off each arm. He will spawn once this is done to open up another damage window that can take some of Sylux's health down. A new ice version of his nano arm Introducing two new moves.
These are Fires icicles around the arena that freeze Samus. If she gets caught, she can pull you towards Sylux and hit you with his nano arms. The former can be avoided in the following way: Continuously dodging in one direction around the stadium The latter can be countered by holding the left stick back the moment he starts to pull you towards him..
Super Fire Shot is great when he's trying to suck you in, as the large spiral touches several nano arms during this attack!
After enough damage or enough time has passed, his arm will revert to its original state, destroying, tearing off, and blasting Sylux when he becomes vulnerable. He'll introduce one new move in this section where he spins around the arena like a top. When he chases you, use the Morph Ball to quickly run away.
After losing about 20% of his health, Sylux Electrical transformation of nanoarms. Its attacks include splashing electric orbs that can be easily dodged and striking the ground with lightning. If he does this attack, look for the purple circle on the ground and run to where it doesn't exist. Boost Balls are especially great for getting you to your destination quickly!
Unfortunately, your allies are terrible at avoiding this variant's attacks.So focus on keeping your arm alive rather than damaging it. You'll need to wait until this phase is over to avoid having your team go down when Sylux's nanoarm returns to normal.
Hold on to this until Sylux takes enough damage to trigger a cutscene and move on to the next level.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Beginner Tips
Here are some essential tips and tricks to help you get started on the planet Viewros in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
Step 2
After taking about 40% damage, Sylux will open a wormhole and tackle Samus into it. The good news is you don't have to take care of soldiers anymore!
This section is brief, if a little odd. Essentially, this is an on-rails fight. You can only move Samus up, down, left, and right.
In this stage, shoot Sylux when the two are down and watch him summon energy blades from the wall. You will have plenty of time to avoid them If you point the left stick in the opposite direction, Sylux will also attack with some blaster shots and psychic whips, both of which can be avoided by moving to the opposite side of where he starts moving.
The only secret is that Sylux's arsenal is a pair of spinning blades that are usually unavoidable. Guide the control beam through the rotating blades to avoid damage. Then hit Sylux's back to stun him in this move!
Shooting Sylux restores quite a bit of health, so now is a good time to recover from any damage taken in stage 1.
Continue attacking until Sylux's health reaches about 50% and you can move on to the final phase.
Step 3
Step 3 Plays similarly to the two previous encounters with Sylux in the game. He can inflict damage at any time, but he will have a variety of moves in this phase. The key to beating him here is understanding his moves and knowing when to punish him.
The details of his attacks are as follows:
|
attack |
explanation |
|---|---|
|
energy slam |
Sylux slams into the ground, shooting a huge shockwave in all directions that you have to double over. |
|
energy beam |
Sylux fires a solid beam 180 degrees forward and the length of its torso. You can avoid this by switching to Morph Ball form. Eventually he will start mixing energy beams at foot height that you need to jump over. |
|
energy rush |
He runs forward and releases a wave of energy in front of him. This can be avoided by entering the Morph Ball form and rolling underneath it. |
|
energy wave |
Shillux scratches the ground with his gun, firing a small vertical energy wave in front of him. You can avoid it by dashing left or right before it gets hit. |
|
seize |
Sylux moves to the center of the map and begins charging his cannon. When fully charged, fires an energy whip that sticks to Samus. Avoid this by entering the Morph Ball and continuously boosting around the edge of the ring. |
|
beam absorption |
Sylux will teleport around the map and absorb all attacks in what appears to be a giant eye. Activate the visor and fire a control beam into his body to make him stun from this move. |
|
Steal Morph Ball |
Sylux transforms into a Morph Ball and lunges at you, stealing your energy tank. You can hit him again with the boost ball to push him away and get it. |
|
electric barrier |
While in Morph Ball mode, Sylux leaves behind an electric barrier that you must roll to avoid. |
Once the battle begins, switch to your desired element and start shooting Sylux as he moves around the arena. He mainly uses a mix of Energy Beam, Rush, Slam, and Wave. In the first part of this battle. It's very easy to avoid as long as you keep your distance from him.
Making sure you're not close will give you enough time to dodge his attacks. This is because attackers often have long latency, which can give them hints on how to avoid it. Focus on attacking him with missiles or elemental shots until he switches to his morph ball form.
When this happens, Sylux begins to charge up his boost and fires it towards himself. If he gets it right, Sylux will do both. Stuns you and drops energy tanks from your body. He will then steal it and roll it around the arena. Use the boost ball to catch up and hit him. With that. This will cause him to release his energy tank and give you enough time to drop the bomb next to his body.
Once he recovers from the stun state, he usually reverts back to his human form. Switch back to him and continue dodging his attacks while draining his health bar.
Eventually, Sylux will teleport out of the arena and back again with his cannon raised in the sky. if you see Eye-shaped energy formation Switch to the visor on it and Fire a charged control beam at him. This is the only move that won't be absorbed by his attacks! Just remember. You should aim your fire at Sylux himself, not where he forms his attack.
The rest of the fight won't change much. Sylux sticks to the behaviors listed above and increases the number of times it executes at a time. This actually makes him very easy to handle. Because the lower he goes, the less he really introduces any big special effects or new moves.
After defeating Sylux, a cutscene will play and you will finally reach the final part of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond!
