-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmm, so where might Ghor be? You might recall seeing his armor thing sitting
in the middle of the Spire Dock, but if you head there right now, you’ll find
that it’s no longer there. Your ship will contact you at some point to give
you a pretty good indication of where he went, though. You’ll have to head
back to your ship, so take the door on the left side of the Aurora Unit.

LOG: Half-pipe
Get in the spinner directly in front of you and spin around inside it until a
half-pipe comes out of the ground. Scan it for a log entry, then jump onto it
and enter morph ball mode.
If you played the previous two Prime games, you know how this works - charge
your boost ball and build up momentum moving back and forth over the half-pipe,
and you’ll eventually be able to launch yourself high up into the air. When
you can, pull yourself over to the ledge and get out of morph ball mode.
There’s a panel here that you can interact with. Your arm will be able to
rotate three small rings of light, each of which has a small chunk of yellow
line (...that’s the best I can describe it) stuck to it. To unlock the gate,
you’ll have to rotate your Wiimote until the chunk of yellow line is lined up
with the circular pattern on the control panel (it should be filling a gap in
the line). When you have a piece of it lined up, press A. Line all three
pieces up, and the gate will open. Jump on the elevator hologram and exit this
room.

Roll under the lasers (grab the missile expansion if you didn’t grab it on your
way through here earlier), then head out the next door.

ENERGY TANK: Use the grab ledge to reach an orb cannon, then grab the energy
tank from the platform you land on when the orb cannon fires.
Blast the Tinbots, then turn around as soon as you jump up to the first ledge.
See the green grab ledge up there? Jump to it, then activate the orb cannon
using the spinner. When you reach the other side, grab the energy tank, then
use the cannon to return to the other side. Jump back down to the ledge, then
head through the hallway and blast the pile of Tinbots guarding the door.

LOG: Ghor
MISSILE: Use the Plasma Beam to melt the metal across from the door to Main
Docking Access, then enter morph ball mode and hop into the hole.
1 Red Credit: Scan for Ghor
1 Gold Credit: Ghor Defeated
Follow the path to the right until you get to the large open area. Scan Ghor
as soon as the battle starts, then start side-stepping to get clear shots at
the weak spot on this back. It doesn’t take much to damage it, which will stun
him for a second. While he’s stunned, you’ll be able to damage him by hitting
the front of his head until he puts his shield back up. Repeat this process
until his attacks change to the spinning mode, at which point you’ll be able to
scan him again and discover his new weak spot.
If you played Metroid Prime 2, this form of Ghor will look a little familiar.
The little glowing ball thing between his legs is his weak spot - wait until
you have a clear path, then charge your boost ball and ram into it. This will
stun him again, so take advantage of it and blast his head as much as you can.
Repeat the process as necessary.
When he’s very low on health, he’ll enter another attack stage that’s really
not all that big of a deal. If you still have plenty of energy, just enter
hyper mode and blast the crap out of him until he’s destroyed. If not, regular
shots will still work just as well (it’ll just take you a few seconds longer).
OBJECTIVE COMPLETE: Hunt Down Ghor
Grab the Plasma Beam upgrade that Ghor drops, the save in your ship if you’d
like. Use the Plasma Beam to melt the metal that’s blocking the exit to the
dock, then follow the path back up to the door. Instead of going through it,
melt the weak metal across from it and grab the missile expansion. Go through
the door once you’re done.
This objective sometimes gets announced a tad late (I was literally walking
through the door to the Aurora Chamber when it was added to my log book), but
it’s what you should be doing next:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Objective: Repair Severed Cables |

You should know the drill by now... grapple the zipline and clear your path as
you ride to the other side.
---------------

I loved blasting Tinbots with charged shots to see them fly across the screen,
but the animation for hitting them with the Plasma Beam is fun too. Anyhow,
follow the path to the left and head through the door by the Databot.
----------
Hub Access
----------
Melt the two Dragoons if you’d like (or use your grapple lasso like usual) and
head for the door on the other side.
-----------
Transit Hub
-----------
Use the orb cannon to get to the far side of the hub, then get in the morph
ball tunnel to reach the platform with the cannon. Melt the metal that’s
blocking it with your Plasma Beam, then activate your morph ball and jump in
the opening. It will propel you all the way over to the door in Zipline
Station Bravo, where you can go through the door to the Aurora Lift.

LOG: Aurora Unit 217
Enter the access tunnel to the left of the Aurora Unit, then stand up and look
around the room for three damaged control panels. Interact with all three,
using your Plasma Beam to weld the damaged circuitry back together.
OBJECTIVE COMPLETE: Repair Severed Cables
When you’re done welding, head back up the morph ball tunnel and scan the
Aurora Unit for a log entry, then interact with the panel in front of it.

|Information: "There is a Federation landing site on the eastern side of |
| SkyTown, which you can reach from the western Skytram. Now |
| that control of SkyTown is back in our hands, we have |
| activated this tram. You will be able to find something at |
| Federation landing site." |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you check your map, the landing site that you’re looking for isn’t far from
your current location. You’ll get a message from your ship saying it’s ready
for use again, but eh... you might as well just go on foot. Turn around and
go through the door on the left to get to Maintenance Shaft AU.

LOG: SkyTown Orange Door
SHIP MISSILE: Melt some metal with your Plasma Beam in the corner to the right
of the control panel. Go through the morph ball tunnel to grab
the expansion at the other end of the room.
Scan the orange door directly in front of you for a log entry, then head
through it. You’ll be told that the item you need to get to the skytram might
not be on Elysia... of course. Head back through the door and move across the
walkway with the Sky Puffers. Jump up to the moving platform and enter the
morph ball tunnel there.
When you come out the other side, drop down to the lower area and interact with
the control panel. You’ve seen one like this before - line up the three parts
of the rings and press A each time. The wall will move out of the way, giving
you a small shortcut to get back to the other side of this room. Turn to the
right and use your Plasma Beam to melt the metal in the corner, then enter the
morph ball tunnel behind it to find a Ship Missile Expansion on the other side
of the room. Return to the door near the control panel when you’ve got it.

LOG: Bryyo Orange Door
Get rid of the Reptilicus, then head to the far side of the room and melt the
three chunks of ice with your Plasma Beam. Enter the morph ball tunnel and
make your way to the other side, using bombs to propel yourself on the air jets
whenever necessary. When you reach the cracked section of pipe, drop a bomb to
break it, then roll back down to the closest air jet thing. Drop a bomb on it,
and you’ll be launched to another section of pipe. Roll out the far end of it,
destroy the ice on the door, and then scan it for a log entry before heading
through it.

MISSILE: Use the morph ball tunnel right before the first ledge, then yank the
platforms down from the wall with your grapple lasso and jump over to
the missile expansion.
Walk down the hallway, then stop when you reach the ledge that drops down to
the main area. Look to the right and find the morph ball tunnel, then roll
through it and stand up on the other side. Use your grapple lasso to yank the
two platforms off of the wall, then jump from them to the missile expansion.
Drop down and go through the door when you’re done.

FRIEND VOUCHER: Step through the teleportation thing.
Blast the ice attached to the ceiling to loosen the object that’s hanging from
it, then hop in the bomb slot on the golem and drop a bomb. A spinner will
appear on the floor, so use it to rotate the gong to the opposite side of the
room. Activate the bomb slot in the golem again, and this time he’ll hit the
cracked part of the wall instead of the gong. Jump in the teleportation thing
that was revealed.

The door on the far side has a blast shield on it, so melt the ice on the floor
and fall down there instead. Activating the spinner will make an orb cannon
appear, which you can use to head back to the Imperial Caverns if you want.
For now, you should head through the door down here.

Grab the Screw Attack item from the platform. The pillars will fall away,
which means you’ll have to make use of your new item to get out of this room.
Screw attack works a lot like your Space Jump Boots - just press the B button
after you’ve jumped two times, and Samus will enter Screw Attack mode. If you
press the B button multiple times, she’ll continue to "jump" forward, allowing
you to cross giant holes and so forth. Use it to jump over to the door in
front of you.

Hall of Remembrance
-------------------
SHIP MISSILE: Hit the blue spot on the Chozo statue’s hand, then jump to it
and look on top of the platform to the left.
If you hit the big blue spot on the Chozo statue’s hand, it’ll rotate, giving
you a nice little platform. Jump over to it using your new Screw Attack
jumping abilities, then jump to the top of the thing on the left to find a
Ship Missile expansion. Use your Screw Attack again to get to the door on the
other side of the room.
