Complete Metroid Dread Artaria walkthrough covering items like the Charge Beam, Spider Magnet, Phantom Cloak, EMMI encounters, and all collectible locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin Transmission (Tutorial): After the opening cutscenes, you'll start on planet ZDR with no abilities. Test your Power Beam with the (Y) button and blast open the yellow Power Beam Door. You'll encounter Crystal Shell enemies, which are easily defeated with the Power Beam. This section subtly teaches basic controls: Slide with (ZL), hanging off ledges, and wall-jumping. Collect Missile Tank #1, indicated by blinking on the Mini-Map.
  2. 2
    E.M.M.I. (Damaged - Gray): Encounter your first E.M.M.I., which is damaged and moves slower. Avoid it by sliding and maneuvering through the EMMI Zone. Reach the Central Unit to charge the Omega Cannon. Use the Omega Stream (rapid-fire) to slow the E.M.M.I. and damage its head. Once the head breaks, use a charged Omega Cannon shot (aim for the red eyeball) to defeat it.
  3. 3
    E.M.M.I. 02 (White - Escape): You'll encounter the fully intact white E.M.M.I. Use your current skills to escape it by sliding under a hole near water where it cannot reach you. Once it leaves, proceed through the E.M.M.I. door.
  4. 4
    Post-EMMI Exploration: After escaping the white E.M.M.I., platform through new areas. You'll learn Melee attacks and Melee dashes. Near the Rib Cage of bone in the background, collect Missile Tank #2.
