Cretaphid is a boss that you fight on Metroid Prime: Hunters. He appears four times in the game, each time with new powers. He looks like a totem pole that has red and blue nodes. You must destroy these nodes which are vulnerable to any weapon, and then a blue box will appear, which is Cretaphid's true form. This is where he can be damaged.

[edit] Appearances

• Cretaphid's first appearance is on your first visit to the Celestial Archives.
• His next appearance is on your first visit to Vesper Defense Outpost.
• His third appearance is on your second journey to Alinos.
• Cretaphid's final appearance is on your second visit to Arcterra.

[edit] Cretaphid v1

This is the most basic version of Cretaphid. It only shoots red lasers from its indestructible red nodes. Every time you take out a third of his health, the laser nodes move downwards.

[edit] Cretaphid v2

Cretaphid v2 is his second appearance. This time, he shoots green plasma balls, the laser nodes shortly switch color now, and you must destroy all of them to bring out the blue box.

[edit] Cretaphid v3

Cretaphid v3 is his third appearance. Now he shoots red lasers and green plasma balls. Other than that, he is an exact copy of v2. Also, people may find it easier to fight him now that they can drain his health quickly with the Shock Coil.

[edit] Cretaphid v4

Cretaphid v4 is the exact same as v3, except it can move around the room and now shoots deadlier green lasers.
