Escape Pod Bay is a small room on SkyTown, Elysia. It appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Description[]

Samus, having narrowly escaped the Spire Pod's destruction, disembarks from her Escape Pod here in a landing cradle, where it remains for the game's duration. This constitutes the room as a "Landing Site", albeit a non-traditional one (i.e. she cannot land her Gunship here). As she leaves, Aurora Unit 217 will send her a transmission requesting that she infiltrate the Elysia Seed. She can revisit this room afterwards - and before she even travels to the Spire - but there is little reason for her to do so.

Whether any other landing cradles exist on SkyTown or other Chozo planets is unknown.

Trivia[]

  • Interestingly, the loading zone for the detached Spire exists far out of bounds from this room. Accessing this loading zone will allow Samus to immediately warp to the "Defend the Spire" mission. It is possible to reach this loading zone using a few out of bounds tricks in Landing Site A. Speedrunners commonly go out of bounds in this room to avoid collecting the Theronian Bomb components.[1]
