Description
I bet that the first time Samus went into Morph Ball-form when battling Quadraxis, this is what came into Quadraxis' mind.I remember that when I reached the second part of the battle, I always aimed manually for the antennas. It wasn't until later that I learned that you could use the Echo Visor for auto-aiming.
However, the pic's been pencil drewn, inked and coloured with the usual colour pencils. Hope you like it and the idea.

What? Samus will beat Quadraxis anyways.

I never really found much reason to use the Morphball during Phase 1 of Quadraxis. All you had to do in Phase 1 is stay open, dodge everything it shoots at you, and pummel it in the knee-joints.
I only really had to use Morphball during Phase 3, when you have to ramp up the Magnet Rails on its battered legs and hit the open spots on its head, but in that Phase, its head is detached and its legs are far too damaged for you to kick you around in this manner, so it couldn't do that at the part when there is a use for the Morphball.

Yes, but once you destroyed all the knee-joints, you need to bust the red lights that appear within the feet.
That is usually done with the Boost Ball as in the same manner as against the normal Quad units to destroyed the leg section.
I don't recall if you had to use Boost Ball there or not though, but I did.
That's the part I'm referencing since I drew it with the lights lit.

Oh, I forgot about that part.

I hated battling this thing. It was my worse nightmare, trying to hit it! I think I ahd it easier going up against Meteroid Prime!

I actually liked it myself. It was tough but fun. The way you had to fire at its leg joints reminded me a lot of the Scarab Mech fights in Halo.

That's true, at least. It was a boos that really made you think rather than simple point and shoot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes indeed. If you've seen how you fight the Scarabs in Halo, you would agree it is similar. Another boss fight that Quadraxis reminded me of is the massive Walker Aparoid in Star Fox Assault.
Then comes the part where its head detaches and starts levitating around while trying to regain connection. I dunno why, but that part reminded me of Eggman in his Egg Mobile from Sonic. Overall a very interesting and tough foe, not to mention one of the largest Metroid Bosses in the franchise (with some of the other biggest being Kraid and Mega-Phantoon).

Agreed, but my all-time least favorite boss of Metroid was the Spider Guardian in the Ing Fortress of Echoes.

Oh god that little thing. Not only was it uninteresting and dull, but also annoyingly long. Having to avoid it as it runs across the Spider Ball maze and lay bombs at the right time. I also disliked the Spider Ball Guardian.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that thing was a pain as well. Also a pain was the Space Jump Guardian.

I don't think hitting it was a that big of a problem
unless you refrain from using the Echo Visor.
But yeah, it's one of the longer boss battles in the game.

Yeah, I know. In fact, I needed the help from my brother and cousin for help.

funny! But not too far from the truth the first time I battled against him. Awesome work!

Hehe, that's probably exactly what it was thinking. Good picture! Keep it up!

It would suck to be Quadraxis if Samus learned on how to trip him with the grapple beam. Or if the Luminoth had thought: "Hey everybody, lets put grapple nodes in his feet, so the next person who comes along decades, or centuries, later can defeat him easier than the last person!" Yes, I know: I exaggerated.

Despite how awesome this boss was, I still found him annoying. Though, not nearly as annoying as the Spider Ball mini-boss before him...

när jag körde trilogi versionen av Prime 2 så dog jag först mot Quadraxiss 3:e steg. Altså, genom Veteran svårighetsgraden så lyckades jag nå ända fran till den här bossen innan jag dog p.g.a jag hadde ont om Energy medans mörkret fortsatte suga dom ifrån mig. dessutom så visste jag inte att man kunnde stunna och tvinga Quadraxis att gå runt medsols efter att ha skjutit den tillräckligt mycket

Jag själv insåg aldrig att man kunde använda Echo Visor i striden.
Massa manual aim hela tiden, och det var i GC-versionen.

Just det! Jag kom ihåg en sak! På Metroid Prime 1 så måste du sikta manuelt mot den osynliga Sentry Drone också. Tur att jag hadde trilogi versionen, så uppenbarligen var det åtminstone lättare att sikta.
Och jag visste inte att det gick att stunna Quadraxis huvud vid tredje steget eftersom att jag visste inte att den var sårbar då
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sentry Drone? Den går ju ner med en stråle Wave Buster, så den är inge större problem.
Så du försökte skjuta dess antenner när den var klar i huvudet?
Låter jobbigt.

Nice xD
but.. can you use echo visor for aiming?
crap.. For me, it took weeks for manually aim xP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same here, I just used manual aiming. It worked, just a little harder though.
It became ridiculously easy with the Echo Visor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed, but it´s nice to know it now..
To bad that Play Control for MP2 will be easier on the Wii xD
You know, manually aiming will be very easy then

You can hope that they'll add a response to the Hyper Mode-difficulty in MP3. That sure was a living hell.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ow yeah.. I forget about the hypermode xD
But hey, it is fun
*wondering about the next Metroid for the Wii*..

*wondering about the next Metroid at all*

Yes, sometimes it can be really hard to find a reference.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Quadraxis is one of teh greatest Metroid Bosses!
