The movement is sooo slow and just doesn‘t feel as good as the 2D Metroids (particulary Dread). First things first: the game looks fantastic and the framerate + frametimes are perfect.īut I expected more, especially in regards to all the perfect scores it gets. Note, there is also a way to sequence break and defeat Kraid in a completely different way using Morph Ball Bombs.This is (or was) my first time actually playing Prime because back in the day I only played it for like an hour on GC. Hop up the magnet rails above after you defeat the boss, and crawl into a tunnel that deposits you next to an Item Sphere room, where you can find a Chozo Statue holding the Diffusion Beam. Enough missile shots to his face or a barrage from a quicktime event will usually trigger his demise by the end. Keep up the assault, and try to get back up to his face level as much as possible while dodging the projectiles he vomits when you’re at the bottom. If he just roars instead, keep firing those missiles until he smashes you down. If you can pull it off, you may enter a quick time event which is your cue to mash those missile shots to deal a ton of damage to Kraid. If you see him wave his arms around in preparation to swat you, get ready for well-timed counter. Kraid will usually try to knock you off the rail at this point by flinging claws at you from different angle, so don’t be afraid to take a break from his face to quickly jump up to avoid them or swat them away before continuing your assault, otherwise you’ll be sent back to the bottom. ![]() When he does that, simple duck under the lowest one, and the impact will cause the magnet rail to drop down to your level. ![]() This is a sign that he's about to unleash all his scaly missiles at once, instead of in a pattern. He may also grab his belly and try to shield the wounded spot. If you do it correctly, you miss his attack and grab hold of the magnet rail again, and you can continue to attack. When he gets closer and lifts his claw to strike, counter, or if you're struggling with the timing, jump straight up to avoid it. This is your chance to quickly hit his face and make him open his mouth to deal more punishing damage from a barrage of missiles. If you time things right, you can jump up before each missile embeds itself in the wall to use as platforms, taking you all the way up to a thin magnet rail. Wait until he stops firing and his belly begins to shake as three sets of scaly missiles get shot out. Don't waste your missiles here - the charge beam is the perfect weapon to hit the eggs and deal damage to his belly button. Keep charging your beam and concentrate on the eggs. Luckily, a charged shot can usually do the trick, and you can try lining up a shot to hit the eggs and his belly right as he spits them out to hit both in one go. When he starts pelting out bouncing eggs, you’ll also want to destroy them quickly, or risk taking too much damage from them. It's easiest to just stand at the very left of the platform, and jump straight up right before the purple blog hits. One of them is a big weak point you can keep sustained fire on to damage him, but he’ll often shoot out purple blobs that splash the arena, so be ready to jump and dodge around them. Since he often tosses claws in an arc, be sure to aim up and down to hit incoming claws while firing your missile barrage - you’ll likely damage Kraid and get missiles back just from doing this, so don’t be stingy!Īfter taking enough damage, Kraid will destroy the platform and move you to a lower level, exposing his three belly buttons. Kraid can only be damaged in his mouth, and only when its open, so you’ll want to first hit him in his face with a single missile or charged shot to cause him to roar, and then unload a salvo as quick as possible to maximize your damage impact before he starts throwing projectiles to get in your way. Repeat, until you clear the third fireball. Then, when the second fireball appears, step forward again. When a fireball appears, simply step forward a little and keep firing. It's easiest to stand towards the very left and fire up at the eggs. ![]() They are a bit easier to dodge, and you can even aim at his upturned mouth with your charged shot or missiles - but if you try to destroy the eggs with rapid shots, be sure to keep dodging the fireballs that can’t be destroyed. He can also start belching out a number of orbs and fireballs. While he can’t swipe at you for the moment, he will fling claws at you in a near endless supply, and you’ll need to either skirt around them, or hit them with rapid fire shots to break them into pieces (and gain recovery items).
