Boss 14: Phantoon [LB14]

Lock on to Phantoon's eye to reveal its health bar.

Shoot its eye with your Plasma Beam. Use charge shots in Search View for a preemptive strike thanks to the slowdown effect.

Phantoon will smash the control room shield and send Hand-like creatures; use the Screw Attack to defeat them.

Dodge Phantoon's blue fireballs with Sense Move (a dodge maneuver). Use charge shots while dodging if possible. Be mindful of your Sense Move direction to avoid getting hit, especially on Hard Mode.

Phantoon will extend tentacles and create explosive floor traps.

When Phantoon retracts its eye, fire as many Super Missiles as you can, then switch to the Plasma Beam.

Aim for a Lethal Strike opportunity.

When Phantoon has about 20% health remaining, use only standard Plasma Beam shots until its eye drops.

Approach the eye and perform a Lethal Strike. Alternatively, you can continue shooting it from afar for a different defeat animation.

Use the Grapple Point to access the elevator.

When the elevator stops, drop a Power Bomb and fall down the shaft.

Run through the hall and slowly enter the door to the right for a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically).

Warning: The facility will begin a SELF-DESTRUCT PROTOCOL, giving you 5 minutes to evacuate.

Charge your stungun (a basic weapon) for emergencies. Press A to slide. You have only 99 energy, so avoid Zebesians and fires. Samus' movement physics are altered in the Zero Suit, making jumps descend faster; avoid excessive jumping.

Jump down and enter the room on the left.

Use the next door and run down the hall, avoiding fire in the Navigation Booth.

Jump off the catwalk where the handrail is broken and run right.

Cross the bridge, avoiding the Zebesian (an enemy).

Continue forward and drop down the shaft.

Run down the stairs to the right.

Use the stungun to open closing gates and slide under debris.

Drop down the first two catwalks by jumping slightly towards the screen.

Land on the next catwalk and carefully jump across. If you fall, slide under the gate to the right and jump back up.

Use the stungun to open gates and slide under debris. Ignore the Zebesian.

The final gate requires two charge shots from your stungun to open.

Avoid fire and debris in the next two rooms.

In the last Docking Area, run straight to your ship and escape.
