Metroid Dread - What Happens If You Use Omega Cannon Outside EMMI Zones?

Metroid Dread - What Happens If You Keep Omega Cannon forever. This video shows you what happens when you leave the E.M.M.I zone with Omega Cannon and fight other bosses with it. We also try to beat the final boss with the Omega Cannon and finish the game. Big thanks to Mimolette_Mae1087 for editing the save file!

Is anyone else just amazed at the ingenuity displayed in the EMMI design? The animations of it reconfiguring itself are inspired. Brilliantly done.

[@Big_Dai]

I find it dumb that they made indestructible machines that one an energy that exists by chance.. and there are no Soldiers with that kind of Armor. Even Samus' isn't that powerful.

[@Augoeides32]

@@Big_Dai Tanks have armor plating, but you don't see soldiers running around covered in that. There's other things to consider, than just making armor out of something. The fact that there's only like 8 EMMI in existence means the material is super rare; they don't have the spare material to made foot soldier armor. Also, we don't know the qualities of the material; it could be extremely heavy or radioactive. I feel like the lore for them is fine. The only reason they can be destroyed anyway, is because the energy is from some unknown Chozo super tech, and most of the time requires extreme heat to burn off the outer plating of the EMMI to do any harm.

I'm quite surprised that the 'metroid' animation when defeating Chozo Soldiers is tied to whether Samus is a metroid and not the specific boss encounter

[@apteryxsharkiwi]

Maybe it's tied to the power bomb being active?

[@nicholasfinch4087]

I honestly was really surprised by that! I wonder if MercurySteam had intended for more Chozo Soldier fights while Samus was in her 2nd to final form.

[@sdavidb9626]

I program for a living, and what that tells me so they coded the sequence where she drains the Chozo soldiers in a generic way. It could be a sign they weren’t sure how many soldiers there would be until after that sequence was designed

That was easily one of the coolest most noteworthy things in the video

What I find maybe most impressive about this is that every background I looked at in the omega aim angle looked just as good as in the areas where you're supposed to be able to use it.

I appreciate the fact that the Omega Cannon actually deals damage and isn't just for the show of the EMMI fights and cutscenes. Also, this would make an amazing unlockable New Game+ option.

[@chrisdraper1788]

Watch it be a paid dlc

[@sayajinx212]

I'd pay for it

[@theloanranger2632]

What's there to "appreciate" about it? If the cannon was only meant to damage the EMMIs who gives a F if it hurts other enemies or not?

[@theloanranger2632]

@@Chuito12PR You don't know anything about coding, obviously. It would be a waste of time to limit what enemies get hurt and which ones don't when you already can't escape the EMMI rooms with the Omega cannon. This isn't an indie game either, the "devs" aren't writing and coding the story. The lore of the game is that the EMMI's are made of the strongest material in the universe and indestructible except for the power of the Omega energy. The fact that every other enemy in the game isn't obliterated by a single shot is proof it was just a "meh, whatever" situation.

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

Eh. it's no where near as powerful as mashing the buttons with the beam, or other attacks. It's funny how it is really strong on some enemies but not on others. Like it was horrendously slow killing the robot Chozo soldiers and the Chozo warriors and Golzuna but seemed really good against Kraid and Corpius.

[@AlphaOfCyber]

Wouldn't it be cool if you gained the ability to wear cosmetic suits from different games in the series (including the Final Metroid Suit) after you complete the game for the first time? Update: People who reply to this with just a "No." should keep their opinion to themselves. I'm pitching the idea of unlocking optional cosmetics post-completion of a player's first playthrough, not suggesting that Other M is the best game in the series or something, jeez.

[@cjm1242]

This would be really cool and as a add on to what you said maybe there could be two categories for example the fusion suit and the updated fusion suit in dreads recap of metroid fusion, the varia suit in dreads recap of metroid fusion, the varia suit from samus returns same with the gravity suit,primes version of the varia and gravity suit, maybe the light,dark,ped,and phazon suits and even those suits re-imagined the same way the fusion and varia suit were in the recap for fusion.(edit: oh and variations of all of those based on dreads version of the power suit, and this last one is a little far fetched but maybe cosmetcis based off of characters from past games like dark samus, mother brain, ridley etc)

[@cloudedarctrooper]

I'd love to wear Metroid prime 2's suits for this game, that'd be cool

[@m598lmr]

Like in Metroid Prime games, where you can wear the fusion suit.

[@commandershepard5450]

If we could get the phazon suit that would be sick

[@threat645]

Nah that would spoil too much. But the Light suit from Prime Echoes would be dope!

[@MoonfallMidnight]

So an EMMI doesn't slow down if you're hitting it with an Omega Stream from outside its own Central Unit? That's worse!

[@sheek-uh]

It's cause it doesn't recognize that you have the Omega Cannon, so it doesn't register that it needs to slow down.

[@gharialnumbat5711]

@@sheek-uh Or that it's Central Unit is still intact which gives it it's intelligence like running towards Samus and without it they become stupid and walk, lore wise at least

[@mrsmithers69]

Oh and the omega blaster doesn’t work,this is likely due to the game not registering a dead central unit in that area so the game doesn’t allow you to kill the E.M.M.I

[@gryphonprovenzano3156]

The fact they rendered the enemies as 3 d models and you can see more detail when using the omega cannon is amazing and impressive

[@isabelortiz1230]

Its weird that Omega Stream is insanely powerful on some enemies/bosses but does potato damage on some other 🤔

[@FormalRiceFarmer]

I saw a speed runner talking about it. it does a set amount of damage that is huge for the early game but really nothing special compared to all the stuff you get by the end of the game

It is possible to defeat Raven Beak X using the wave beam. I think the only thing that matters is that you hit the boss at the very last second.

[@ultra9349]

It deals abysmal damage tho so u need to be perfect with aim

[@xectilus5530]

It would have been sick if you actually had to kill RBX that way by aiming really well (instead of it basically being autoaim). Great video

[@shinespark2175]

Keep in mind that to kill RBX you needed a continuous blast of the Hyper Beam while he was moving erratically, so no, i don't think that the auto aim was unnecessary

[@cloviepounders6703]

PutPity sure RBX is a trigger kill. You have to be dealing damage to him at a specific set of frames to not be one hit killed. The point where it grabs the older and lifts up it checks the trigger. If no damage then game over, if damaged then RBX is defeated. I'm pretty sure there is no set amount of damage to deal, personally I've waited to last minute to start charging the beam and killed him.

All in all, I think that the power of the Omega Cannon is comparable, but not quite as useful, as the Metroid Hyper Beam. That's why you have to use the Metroid Hyper Beam to kill RB-X. I do see the Omega Cannons' usefulness in eliminating normal to X creatures, though.:)

You don’t actually need the hyper beam to kill RBX, Ive seen it done with regular beams. At a certain point he just dies.

Now that she has full control of her Metroid siphon abilities, I wonder how that will translate into gameplay for future installments. The whole series has you replenishing health and ammo by killing enemies, so it would be disappointing if they didn't change anything from that.

[@SuizidKorken]

No worries, at the beginnging she will have some kind of amnesia / lost the manual / the trial expiered so she will have to go get another contract extension.

[@NL0Gwenster]

I think that's already covered in the ending of Metroid dread. Probably quiet robe sealed the metroid stuff away. With his race being the ones that could control the metroid originally.

[@KieferSkunk]

@@NL0Gwenster I found it interesting how they resolved that in the end. Quiet Robe's reincarnation via the X (and especially "decomposing" in the gunship to restore Samus to her original form so she could escape the planet) suggests that the X Parasite is (or at least can become) intelligent and sympathetic, and not just hell-bent on consuming everything. I know they've already explained some aspects of that in both Fusion and the beginning lore of Dread, but that only made clear that the X could assimilate and mimic another creature. I feel like the resolution here in Dread goes a step beyond that, which could lead to some interesting story possibiities in the future.

[@vaguelyhumanoid7419]

@@KieferSkunk I think the only reason it helped Samus at the end was due to how the X fully copies the host creature, including its personality and known skills and incorporate it into that instance of the X and keep those even if it takes a new form (as seen by the Chozo Warriors having good spearmanship and X Robe being able to re-activate the EMMI's), so its more likely that the X copied Quiet Robe's caring and sympathetic nature and that helped Samus, although it doesn't explain why they re-activated the EMMI's. But at the same time, there is the possibility it just knew it would die and used Samus as an escape route to live and took its chances, and Quiet Robe's personality or appearance had no effect on that X.

[@NL0Gwenster]

@@vaguelyhumanoid7419 good thoughts overall. Regarding the reactivated EMMI's. Maybe another deliberate attempt at helping Samus due to its original kindness and fondness for her. Because she needs the upgrades they posses to have a chance against raven beak.
