Metroid Prime Game Diary: Hard Mode

[dex]

Woo! I remember doing my sequence breaker and it was awesome getting space jump at the start but I never got the Plasma beam without the spiderball - I didnt know it was possible :D

The first time I went through hard mode in prime 1 I noticed that all my rythm was off because everything takes a little more to kill, once i got in to that rythm when i played prime 1 for a low % run (on normal) it was all off again :D

I had to play on normal, OP with 4 energy tanks is hard enough as he is, thx

The biggest challenge in hard mode, a side from the bosses and certain quick areas, is the phazon mine portion. If you can, bring the plasma beam. It will dispatch pirates quickly... but troopers and elites wont give a shit about your plasmabeam :D oh! oh, if you dont have the x-ray visor by the time you face the invisible sentry bot (I think you told me there's a way to get it by getting the plasmabeam and then get the powerbomb from phendrana, then use that to get the x-rayvisor) use the secondary beamcombo mode of the wavebeam on him, he'll suck you completely dry of missles but if he survives he'll be close to death. What makes him so difficult is the amount of energy you usually have by the time you face him.
