Walkthrough

1
There is a point of no return near the end of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which requires double confirmation to proceed past.
2
Before reaching this point of no return, you should aim to have 100% of items collected and 98% of scans completed.
3
The final two scans are obtained during the ending sequence.
4
After passing the point of no return and completing the story, you will have the option to save a complete file. Do not use this save if you intend to finish collecting items and scans, as it prevents loading previous saves and the autosave is also past the point of no return.

Missable Scans:

Space Pirate: Available from the Landing Pad until Research Lab Zeta. You must scan a living specimen.
Galactic Federation Trooper: Available from the Landing Pad until Research Lab Zeta.
Aberax: The boss of the opening area.
Psychic Container: These must be scanned to open, but it's possible to miss scanning the containers themselves. The first is in Cliffside Gate in Fury Green, and the last is in the Storage Room in Flare Pool.
The Boss of Fury Green: This boss has three scan locations: the main body, the arms, and the projectiles it throws. It is the only boss, besides the final boss, with multiple scan entries for the Logbook.
Flight Drone MCU: First encountered in the Tower 2 Generator of Volt Forge. A second appears later when attempting to leave Volt Forge, but it becomes missable after that encounter.
Snow Wolf: These appear only during an ambush in Ice Belt.
Heavy Maintenance Tank: A mini-boss fought once in the Entry Bay of Flare Pool.
Hover Shuttle Transport: This shuttle attacks Samus in the Control Room Bridge as she and her party are leaving, and it is the only one in the game.
Swim Snatcher: A unique enemy found in Flare Pool in Volcano Heart, appearing in a room after returning later, not during the sector boss fight.
Behemoth: A unique enemy located in Flare Pool near a Mech Part.
The Boss of Great Mines: Unlike other sector bosses which can be scanned again in the Chamber of the Guardians in Fury Green, this boss does not offer a second chance for scanning.
The Final Boss: The final boss has a second form in the third phase of the fight, which can also be scanned.

Tips

As a general rule, missable scans include those found in the opening chapter and unique enemies.
Ensure you have 100% items and 98% scans before proceeding past the point of no return.
