Item Collection: Energy Tanks

Energy Tanks are arguably the most crucial collectible in Metroid: Samus Returns. Each tank adds 100 points to Samus's maximum health, significantly increasing her survivability against tough enemies and bosses. There are a total of 10 Energy Tanks scattered across SR388. Many are hidden behind destructible blocks, requiring the use of your Beam, Missiles, or Power Bombs. The Scan Pulse Aeion Ability is invaluable for locating these hidden tanks, as it reveals them on your map. Always prioritize collecting Energy Tanks, especially before major boss encounters. Some are in plain sight but require specific abilities (like the Spider Ball or Space Jump) to reach. Thorough exploration and map checking are key.
