Boost Guardian

The Boost Guardian in its Boost Ball form.
Featured in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Location Dark Torvus
Attacks Boost Ball, dark energy
Weakness Light Energy, Morph Ball Bombs
Reward(s) Boost Ball

The Boost Guardian was a mutated Warrior Ing that had absorbed Samus' Boost Ball in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The Boost Guardian was found in the Dark Torvus Arena.

The Boost Guardian has several different attacks: First, it has the typical abilities of a Warrior Ing -- Slashing, Possession, Energy Beams, and Melting into a puddle. However, due to the absorbtion of the Boost Ball, it can also summon Inglets when in puddle form, as well as transform into a spherical shape and bounce around the room. In this final attack, it can destroy any of the four pillars within the room yielding Ultra Energy Capsules, as well as any Inglet it happens to come into contact with.

In the Boost Guardian battle, Samus must keep watch for her health, for no Light Crystals are present, so she must rely on Inglets and destroyed pillars for energy. Samus can hurt the Boost Guardian in its solid form, but not in its Morph Ball and puddle form. To get it out of puddle and Morph Ball forms, she must drop bombs. If Samus has just turned it back from liquid to solid, a short cutscene will occur and Samus will automatically be facing the Boost Guardian with her weapon drawn. However, the Boost Guardian can and will occasionally pop out of either form on its own, to attack in its solid state; in this case, Samus will not automatically leave her ball form. If the Boost Guardian happens to make contact with a pillar while boosting, the pillar will crumble, revealing Ultra Energy Capsules, which Samus can obtain to regain 100 energy as well as causing Inglets to appear from that spot in battle.

Although it is a tough battle, it allows Samus to get a Dark Temple Key that is up on the half-pipe in the previous portion of the room (it's still within the Dark Torvus Arena).

[edit] Trivia

  • After defeating the Boost Guardian and getting the Boost Ball, the pillars in the room can be destroyed.
  • The Boost Guardian looks similar in appearance to the Jump Guardian.
