The final boss of the game is finally here! It's a gigantic fight, so take your time learning everything. Only a handful of moves are able to be parried, so don't try to bait anything in hopes of parrying.

you can kill the orb in phase 3 with a power bomb it also drops health when you do

great tip, finally i beat him

Lol, I am with you on this, I can’t even make it past phase one nevermind 3. It is that parrying that I cannot stand, absolute bullshit that you need it to kill a boss.

[@ChefJeff789]

@@maynardj3032 My biggest problem with this game. The boss fights can be hard as hell and the tiny-@$$ controls on the Switch don't help (I don't have a Pro controller)

[@uniteddreams7065]

Raven Beak is nearly impossible to defeat. Surprisingly Nintendo didn't add an Insta-Kill from Raven Beak during the battle.

[@lvnlar]

I managed to defeat him using a controller with a turbo function so I didn't have to keep tapping fire. These old hands ain't what the use to be.

[@Redpoppy80]

Raven Beak is so boss he tears his own wing off!

[@RancidRiki]

One winged chozo

[@alexandercorbett1147]

Guy just became Sephiroth for like 5 seconds

[@areallymeanperson]

During the cinematic moment where you have to keep shooting at him after the counter, its better to use the beams instead of missiles, it does more damage, and gets you to the wing phase faster

[@genericuser-1]

charged or no charged?

[@tm82891]

Really tho?

[@Yeonnii_]

+1 Regular beam spam, I think it’s because since all 3 beams hit it does more damage then missiles or charge beam

[@genericuser-1]

I just beat it using only beams during cutscenes and it went by pretty quick so idk

[@areallymeanperson]

@@genericuser-1 no charge, it has a faster firerate and all three beams hit harder than one ice missile

[@BDogGrizzly]

I used Power Bombs to destroy both “Black Holes” and the “Sun Wave Ball”. You get health and Missiles from both. Makes the Boss WAY EASIER. You just need the right timing.

[@Alternatedimension2]

Yeah I was gonna say the easiest way to get rid of the sun wave ball was the power bombs. Really appreciate the video !! Thanks

[@conradschmitt2536]

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

Nice!!!!

[@bootybandit56]

[@MrHidePatten]

Didn’t know that about the black orbs, makes the first phase so much easier. The final phase with the giant laser and sun rays gives me The Radiant (Hollow Knight) PTSD.

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

You can use a power bomb on the sun orb, found that out from my commenters!

[@philippschepe3543]

Haha thought exactly the same 🤣

[@TheRealAudioDidact]

I'm crying on phase 1. Why do we need 10,000 hours of Metroid to finish a simple title. That one bad gamer who did a review was right. This game sucks because it's too hard. It's not a game it's an arena challenge.

[@tristanneal9552]

@@TheRealAudioDidact Not all games are meant to be easily conquered. I'd say it's all in the name, this is a game you should Dread. For me, the challenge definitely delivered on that threat.

[@yizzardpalmero]

@@TheRealAudioDidact yeah i enjoyed the challenge. Although it only took me like 5 attempts to beat him so it probably wasn’t as frustrating for me as it is for you. Ive played a lot of metroidvanias though so im used to this sort of stuff. Keep practicing and you’ll get through it. It’s mostly muscle memory

[@golfer435]

For second phase I highly recommend using storm missiles instead of manually aiming. The windows where he can be safely attacked are very small, and he takes 5 volleys of storm missiles. All you need to do is hold the right bumper in and then let loose when you have a moment. Makes this phase much shorter overall.

[@Spiral81C1]

I was thinking that when I watched this. Storms missiles felt like one of the most powerful upgrades of the game and became integral to me beating everything after that point.

[@mcrontti0513]

thank you so much

[@samwaterlord6888]

When I fought him it took way more than 5 full volleys of storm missiles

[@ViltrumiteIsRite99]

@@samwaterlord6888 I swear. I’ve pumped him with like a dozen storms, and STILL died before his 3rd phase appeared. The missiles you have to fire seem endless.

I have to say, Raven Beak ripping his wing off is one of the single most epic moments in any game I have ever played.

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

My man said oh you think I need this? Nah.

[@TheRealAudioDidact]

I had to watch a guide player do it, and it looked epic. It would be epic to be able to do it without suicidal idiation.

@@SweetJohnnyCage he did need it though, obviously needed everything he cud since he got his ass kicked

[@ArcticBeats]

There is actually a way to trigger Raven Beaks parry attack in Phase 1. After he did his laser attack, simply just jump over him. His next attack will be guaranteed the parry attack.

[@AwakeByDesignFAN69]

I'm struggling with the final boss like crazy. This is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do in a video game. It's frustrating.

[@BigStrap]

You can do it!! If you're struggling with a specific phase, I suggest dedicating an attempt to just dodging. Don't worry about getting damage in, just become more and more comfortable with dodging all his attacks. You got this!!!

[@AwakeByDesignFAN69]

@@BigStrap thanks for the advice I actually completed the game a day after I left this comment haha. Was tough but kept at it :) 👍

[@Practicalinvestments]

Learn the patterns don’t get flustered when you get hit, calmly think about what the next move and how to avoid it is, get comfortable with your whole move-set and how to use it in combat (the aeion dash is a god send)

[@gradyplayscoolgames7663]

Yeah same with me.... BUT I’ve mastered the first phase, getting the hang of the second , and the third? Not really, and finally the fourth, well I haven’t got there yet

When I got frustrated I remembered mt dark souls training.

[@armandoc2584]

Power Bomb the giant sun orb makes the battle way easier

[@Just_Shaun]

Phase 2 is definitely the hardest part of the boss fight; without the opportunity to parry his attacks. For phase 1, it's much more effective to spam regular beam attacks during the counter sections. As for phase 3, you can use a power bomb to destroy the globe.

[@pineapple282]

This was my first Metroid game (although I’ve played other metroidvania games). It was frustratingly hard, the controls hurt my fingers and sometimes I wanted to cry from the e.m.i’s. but I beat it this night and I feel so proud. I got better as I played and found most of the items. I did look at this for how to beat the final boss. Thank you!

[@jswagpsn2285]

Glad you were able to overcome the difficulty and enjoyed the trip! Since you obviously own a Switch, you should consider giving Super Metroid a try!!! For a SNES game, it is very mechanically and technologically advanced for its time. Not too difficult or unforgiving. Plenty of action and adventure that are more than worthwhile.

[@TheKilopoo]

I HIGHLY recommend Fusion if you have any way to play it!

[@josiahtheobald5084]

I've played other Metroid games before and I have the same opinion of this one as you do but I never feel proud of myself whenever I finally beat an annoying or frustrating boss because of it being hard I just get annoyed that it's so hard, and I have never understood why people feel so good when they break something that was super hard... But I guess that's just me

[@blackatron9250]

This game is frustratingly hard. I fully agree about the controls.

[@kenyoutharchibald6051]

The Metroid Prime's boss fights were so intense I remembered my eyes watering because I did not want to blink and miss something 😰

[@wiiu-theunderratedconsole7569]

This boss is legitimately so hard that I almost cried due how desperate I was. I had to look on internet to even stand a chance against him and I honestly feel bad for doing this. This is one of the most stress inducing ending ever made especially when you try to get out of the planet with the timer and you don’t know if failing means you have to fight this boss again.

[@greenwendal5056]

I think the game in general was too hard. It's probably my least favourite metroid game. There seems to be a Trend in video games in recent years where the Devs think making a game frustratingly difficult means it's good.

[@gunstarhero8028]

Throughout my entire play through, I kept forgetting that Dash even existed lol

[@nscafe77]

Thanks so much for this video. Very helpful, and that power bomb trick on the golden orb is a literal lifesaver. I actually died in the part after this because I wasn't quick enough and was so worried I'd have to start completely over. Thankfully it puts you after the fight...

[@travisgillespie2819]

There’s time to power bomb both orbs. You get so much health back from the yellow one that the fight becomes way more manageable

Just completed this, watching the credits. Thanks for your help, wouldn't have beaten it without you. I have real problem with games that require precise timing like this. Yesterday I thought I'd have to accept I'd never complete it but today I did and 100% too. X

[@opratorkilo4649]

Tip for people struggling as well if you go into the counter attack with a lv 1 storm missle charge and then spam regular missles afterward if you're quick enough you can do enough damage yo move him onto the next phase immediately. Normally you have to counter him twice to get enough damage in but if you start your combo with a storm missile barrage followed with a quick enough missile spam he'll move onto whatever stage is next instantly. With this method if you catch each parry as soon as they're released you can kill him in about 4 mins, its hard but not impossible and quite fun to pull off while also making you feel like a badass while doing it.

[@benkizer9509]

It took me like two hours, but I FINALLY beat Raven Beak. My tips: 1. When you melee counter, use the regular blaster and not missiles. It ends phase one much faster. 2. In phase two, use the multi missiles, but only after you dodge Raven Beak from swooping down or across. When he does the gun, just try avoiding the bullets and focus less on hitting him. You can also do the missiles when he does the big gun, which is easy to avoid as he shoots it at an angle. 3. In Phase three, use the super bomb to destroy the big yellow orb. After some practice, you'll get to a point where you won't get damaged in the first two phases and you will get enough energy/missiles back in the third phase that any damage you take you won't likely die from it. Such a fun, epic final boss fight. Bravo!

[@ClassicLes]

Thanks for the tips on the patterns, It saved me a lot of continue's and Cutscene skipping!

[@ryndor2899]

The telegraphing for the giant beam in the second phase is he raises his hand, also, he always shoots it at the same angle.

[@mattsmith7935]

Thanks for putting this out! Took me forever to realize I had to run all the way into him to counter and get to phase 2.

Man, thanks for this, I honestly couldn't tell what the hell was going on at all. Didn't help that I only had 45% of All Items apparently 🤣 but I did it in the end and it was awesome, would've hated to be stuck and FUMING at the end considering how good the Story wrapped up and everything... I'd definitely rank it up there as one of my all time favourites and was worth the 19 Year wait, Fusion is still the best one though imo. Considering that Mercury Steam originally pitched a Metroid Fusion Remake back when they did Samus Returns, and the Intro of Dread (with the games great graphics engine) with its Fusion Scenes I'd LOVE to see them get the opportunity to do that Fusion Remake using the Dread Engine now 😁 🙌

Phase 2: shoot him with missiles and dodge his attacks by space jumping Phase 3: blow up the sun with power bombs it will give you health and ammo. Shoot the orb for more health and ammo. Shoot him with missiles and counter. edit: as soon as he’s done with the overhead beam, space jump out of his way

For those who have troubles with the parrying, you don't need to do all of them. Focus on the one at 0:32 ( which he missed ) and the one at 1:15 ( which he also missed ), these are not that hard and also give a lot of health. After the parry, don't use missiles or charged shots but just regulair shots.

Is it possible to defeat the winged phase without using missiles?

During his Solar Orb drop a power bomb, its the only thing that destroys it, it also yields energy and ammo like the void orb

[@tiefighter3445]

Excellent advice!

[@GIRru11]

Most of this fight feels like it's pure reflex, which is very fitting

[@SweetJohnnyCage]

Yea it's part of the reason I love it so much. You need to take everything you've learned throughout the game and be able to recall it at a second's notice.

[@Oddy91]

Ok so I’m late I know and odds are someone already figured this out but the power bomb camel out that sun orb on the third phase can be canceled out by your mega bomb. He also starts using mostly phase one moves.

I don't know if it actually is faster but I prefer using beams over missiles simply because they have a faster fire rate makes it easier to connect more shots while doing all the evasion. It feels faster anyway.

Don't know why I didn't think to slide against his dash in phase 2. Once I learned that the rest of the fight was easy. Thanks a bunch

Beat this game in three days at 100% (some assistance needed with how to get speed booster items, but they were very clever) and it was pretty awesome!
