Berserker Lord is a boss in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. It is the first boss Samus Aran faces in the game. Later on Samus faces another on Elysia. They are very similar to the Elite Pirate and Ingsmasher as they are a tougher version of a smaller, weaker, and more common variety.
A Berserker Lord is a Berserker Knight that has been corrupted with more Phazon than usual Knights can survive (Similar to the Omega Pirate compared to Elite Pirates).
When Samus battles it, she must first fire at two large, red circles on his shoulders. Once they are destroyed, he will fire projectiles at her which Samus must shoot at. This will cause them to fly back to Berserker Lord. Once a few of these projectiles have hit the creature, it will shoot a stream of a liquid-like substance, which is likely Phazon. The phazite plating on its head will then be destroyed, which Samus now must rapidly fire her Power Beam at while the Berserker Lord tries to pummel her with bunches and shockwaves. Eventually, he will stumble into an electrical fence and fall into space, being hit by a fighter ship.[1] The fighter ship appears to be a Federation Stiletto Fighter, though it is only seen for a moment.
Later in the game on Elysia when you attempt to get the 1st Bomb Part another Berserker Lord appears. The Berserker Lord here is darker in color and appears to have been damaged beforehand, some suggest that it could be the same one Samus fought before. This is impossible, as the first Beserker Lord was annihilated by a pirate fighter ship, and even if it survived that, it would have died in the vacuum of space.
In one of the preview trailers for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, a PED Federation Soldier in Hyper mode is seen killing a Berserker Lord with ease. This footage is nowhere to be seen in the final version of the game.
It is likely that the Berserker Lords and the lesser Berserker Knights are the results of continued Phazon research on Elite Pirates, making them somwhat their descendants.
