Complete the UTO Research Center in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, including how to beat the Aberax mini-boss and find the first Energy Tank.
Walkthrough:
- At the Landing Pad, practice your lock-on and blast the nearby Space Pirate. Round the corner to find more Space Pirates attacking entrenched Galactic Federation Troopers. Use the Scan Visor to scan the Space Pirates and Galactic Federation Troopers while they are alive. After defeating the Pirates, shoot the door to enter the facility. You can talk to the Troopers for flavor text.
- In the Security room, watch the cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a non-interactive cinematic sequence). Switch to the Scan Visor and scan the door on the far wall to open it. Proceed through the next door.
- In the Observation Deck, blast the five Space Pirates. Proceed to the outside area, then go through the door to your right.
- Enter Hangar Access. Enter Morph Ball mode (transforming into a ball) and roll into the small tunnel under the debris. Unfold and exit via the far door.
- In the Courtyard, defeat approximately nine Space Pirates. Use Missiles as needed; one Missile plus a few shots will defeat a Pirate. To exit, use a double jump to reach the upper ledge in the northeast corner.
- In the Storage Depot, head up the ramp to the back of the hallway and blast the vent. Roll inside.
- Continue rolling through the vent in the Vehicle Repair Bay. Use Bombs (an explosive item usable in Morph Ball mode) to clear any blockage.
- In Research Lab Zeta, clear the next blockage with Bombs. You will receive your first ENERGY TANK (1/14). Pop out of Morph Ball mode and blast the Pirates. Scan the large door to reveal
