Where to find the grapple beam in super metroid

The Morphing Ball allows Samus to morph into a small sphere. While Samus is in this mode she can roll through small openings not normally accessible and later plant bombs after you find the morph ball bomb upgrade. This is the easiest power-up to find. When you first arrive in Brinstar at the start of the game go to the left screen from the main elevator and you will find the Morphing Ball in plain sight.

The Bomb power-up will allow Samus to lay small bombs while in Morph Ball mode X is the default bomb button The bombs can destroy small blocks in the enviroment and even damage enemies and can allow Samus to propel upward to reach some secret areas.

Near Samus' ship in Crateria, you will need to head into the cavern to the left. You will find three Skree enemies The green suicide bombing enemies you should notice a small opening in the ground. Use the Morph Ball to descent below and then head through the door at the bottom into the next corridor use your missiles to blow up the purple door at the end of the corridor.

Now for this next room you will want to have your missiles ready as soon as you grab the bomb upgrade the Chozo Statue will come to life. The Charge Beam will allow Samus to hold down the fire button to charge up her shot for a stronger attack. If you hold down the charged shot while doing a somersault you will do a screw attack like attack that will damage any enemy that touch's samus.

When you reach a large pink room in Brinstar with snowflakes falling from the ceiling in the background. You will want to go to the bottom left corner of the room to find some blocks which you must bomb you will fall through a opening to find a Chozo Statue that will be holding the upgrade.

Once in Brinstar, got to the room left of the underwater Maridia area the room with two claws in the water that try to grab Samus. Go to the far left side of the room and blow up the cracked block directly above.

Jump through the hole to the ledge above if you already have the Hi-Jump Boots upgrade this will be alot easier. Go through the narrow tunnel above to find a green door. Shoot the door with a Super missle to find the Spazer Upgrade. From the main elevator in Norfair you will want to descend to the bottom of the shaft to where two doors are facing each other. Head through the left door to find a E tank.

Go through this room and descend down the shaft to reach another door. Go through and blow up the upper wall to reach the Hi-Jump Boots. It also allows her to travel in any extreme temperatures allowing her to explore the deepest depths of Norfair. The Speed Booster will allow Samus to run incredibly fast and obtain a energy charge that will allow her to dash when activated.

With the Spped Booster Samus can break enemies and special bloocks with arrows on them. In the green room to the right of the main elevator, you'll need to get to the upper door. Jump down to the door in the floor and follow the path from there. Once through the upper door, blow open the roof section above to reveal a hidden shaft. Climb up and head through the right door. Run through the longcavern. Once you reach the door on the right of the hallway The Speed booster is in the room.

From Norfair, go through the door on the left. In this next room you will have to use the Speed Booster to make it through all the shudders at the end of the corridor.

In the next room cross the lava pits. The room beyond is a giant shaft like room you must climb it up avoiding the fire heads on the walls. On the way up you should notice a small opening in the wall where enemies will come out from this is where you need to go. At the top you will need to use a bomb to blow up the small platform infront of the door to go to the small opening in the wall. Use the Morphing ball to fit in the hole and roll to the right to making it into the door with the Ice Beam.

Sometimes there is a noticeable delay when the button is pressed to detach from a Grapple Point. It is authorized immediately when Samus enters a room and sees a Rhedogian threatening to drop Anthony Higgs into a pool of lava, allowing her to grapple up to their level and save him.

This item did not exist in the original game. It has a Grapple Lasso -like ability of being able to pull and break Pull Blocks with red Grapple Points, often found obstructing tunnels. Samus can also use her Grapple Beam to pull herself onto wall and ceiling-stationed blue Grapple Points in order to avoid obstacles, in addition to swinging from certain Grapple Points as usual. At one point, Samus grapples a red point connected to the Diggernaut , which seems to restore power to the robot in a Grapple Voltage -like manner.

This causes it to activate and destroy the rubble it was buried under, which was blocking Samus' path. Red Grapple Points appear on Zeta Metroids when they climb onto ceilings, allowing Samus to pull them down and deal damage. The Queen Metroid can also be grappled via her tongue when she is successfully Melee Countered , allowing Samus to enter her esophagus and lay Power Bombs.

Like in Super Metroid , it is fired from the Arm Cannon and can be used offensively to kill weak enemies, but does negligible damage when it comes to stronger enemies.

It can also be used to open normal Doors like other beams. If Samus Free Aims her Arm Cannon at a Grapple Point it will automatically switch to the Grapple Beam, though returns back to the previously selected beam Power Beam , Ice Beam , or Beam Burst she had selected before aiming at the Grapple Point after she has let go of the Grapple Point which allows Samus to use Grapple Points without having to constantly manually switch between beams, though she can also manually select it as well, however it will remain selected after it is used on a Grapple Point.

This automatic swapping is especially useful in battle. Along with the Ice Beam , the Grapple Beam acts as a standalone beam option that is separate from the Power Beam which the Wave, Spazer, and Plasma Beams stack on top of and does not stack. Unlike the Ice Beam, it remains selectable beam option even when the Beam Burst is activated which takes up the top two beam slots.

As a result, Samus can switch between it even when the Beam Burst is activated. It can once again destroy Grapple Beam Blocks, and is also capable of removing the shells of Shelmits and shields of certain Chozo Soldiers.

Additionally, the Grapple Beam is used for opening new Grapple Beam Doors and pulling Samus onto blue magnetic strips. Samus acquires it in an Artaria Item Room. The Grapple Beam's first 3D appearance was first seen in use by Samus in Metroid Prime , where it was primarily used to get across long distances via special Grapple Points dotted throughout the environment.

The Grapple Beam is one of the abilities Samus can use on the Frigate Orpheon before losing all her upgrades due to an electrical surge whilst escaping the ship. However, unlike all the other upgrades Samus can use at this point, Samus did not obtain the Grapple Beam in Metroid. Where Samus first obtained the Grapple Beam is unknown. After losing her power ups, Samus manages to track all of her original items down on the planet Tallon IV , along with several new ones. It is not until Samus ventures deep into the Space Pirate 's Phazon Mines for a second time that she is able to retrieve the final one of her original upgrades, the Grapple Beam from Storage Depot B.

The Pirates seem to have discovered the item and placed it in the Depot, rather than it being a technology of their own - it is believed to be of Chozo origin, due to Samus' computer in Echoes referring to it as such when detecting its location.

Samus was able to shoot while swinging on the Grapple Beam in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes , a skill that was not possible in Prime. Like in the previous game, Samus loses her abilities at the beginning of her mission on planet Aether , due to an ambush by a race of creatures known as the Ing who steal and absorb her items.

Whilst her mission progresses, Samus recovers the stolen upgrades and battles each of the Ing that has mutated to use them. The use of the Grapple Beam is made somewhat redundant by the acquisition of the Screw Attack later in the game, which allows Samus to jump five times in succession. This creature was mutated by addition of the Ing possessor's Grapple Beam. The " Grapple Guardian " was then contained in a Sacrificial Chamber , where foes would be placed in to be devoured by the creature.

When Samus arrived here, she was able to trick the creature into using its Grapple abilities on a magnetic surface, so she could attack while it struggled to break free. Samus defeats the Guardian and reclaims her Grapple Beam. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption features several variations of the Grapple Beam.

Samus first obtains a Grapple device on Norion during the Space Pirate invasion. It is placed in an enclosed cache in Docking Hub Alpha. The Grapple Lasso allows Samus to attach to surfaces and rip them from their support. Instead of a forearm attachment, the Lasso is integrated into Samus' existing armor in the form of a glove, with other additions being integrated in the same way.

Replacing the conventional Beam seen in the previous games is the Grapple Swing , which functions in a virtually identical manner. This upgrade appears to be made by the Bryyonians , as it is found in a secluded grove in Bryyo Cliffside , Reliquary I. Samus Aran's Gunship also gains a Ship Grapple power-up, that gives Samus the ability to transport various large objects with Ship Grapple Points by having her Gunship fly in and grapple them via the ship-mounted Grapple Beam.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee onward, Samus could use it to hang from ledges or attack in the air. Enlarge Obtain the upgrade. Destroy the item sphere and grab the upgrade.
