List of rooms in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes/Agon Wastes

Transport to Temple Grounds

Transport to Temple Grounds is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is a small room containing Agon Bearerpods and an Elevator that leads to the Temple Grounds, hence the name. On the map in the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc demo, this room is named Temple Elevator.

Plaza Access

Plaza Access is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is a corridor to, as the name states, provide access to the Mining Plaza. There are several Sandgrass stalks near the door to the room, and a Luminoth body can be seen on the ground. Scanning it states that it has been dead for 1.1 decacycles, and that its body has been badly damaged by sandstorms and heat exposure. Judging from the number of blast wounds on the body, it was dead long before the desert got to it.

The Dark Aether equivalent of this room is Ing Cache 4.

Mining Plaza

The Mining Plaza is the main room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The plaza is a large room with steps to the left of the entrance, they are unreachable without the Space Jump. Two large sandpits exist on each sides of the room, housing a Sandigger each. There are several Weakened Columns with sections of Brinstone that can be destroyed with Missiles. Atop a central structure is a series of solar lens that are controlled by sonic transmitters placed around the room. Next to them is a statue of Amorbis. Scanning it states that it might have been placed to warn travelers. An indestructible barrier prevents access to the Transit Station door. To access it, one must go enter the Dark World from Mining Station B, then proceed to use the Light Portal in the dark version of this room.

The Dark Aether version of this room was Duelling Range.

Agon Map Station

The Agon Map Station is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is reached from Mining Plaza through a Morph Ball tunnel, the entrance to which is behind an Amber Translator Door. Samus requires both the Amber upgrade to her Translator Module and Bombs to lower the door and destroy Talloric Alloy blocking the tunnel. This means she cannot access this room until she defeats the Bomb Guardian and visits the Agon Temple.

The Agon Map Station is a small cave with no significant physical features of note. There appear to be holes in the walls and ceiling, which may have been caused by Sandiggers, and small mounds on the floor with a spotted pattern. The Map Station itself is in the center of the room and provides a map of the surrounding area. There is a Blueroot Tree in this room, but no hostile enemies.

Mining Station Access

Mining Station Access is a room in the Agon Wastes in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is a small Morph Ball tunnel that serves as a transport to Mining Station A, hence the name. Several waterfalls of sand and Blueroot Trees exist within the background.

The Dark Aether equivalent of this room is Junction Site.

Mining Station A

Mining Station A is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The station is a relatively large room with waterfalls of Sand constantly pouring onto the ground.

Once the Space Jump has been recovered Samus can jump up to a ledge beside the statue and follow the corridor to find some Lore and a switch. If she scans the switch then one of the sand waterfalls will stop, and D-Chr's statue can be used as a platform to get up to a higher door.

The Dark Aether version of this room was the Judgment Pit.

Portal Access A/Portal Access

Portal Access A (simply called Portal Access in the Trilogy version of the game) is a room in the Agon Wastes in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is a small room with a wall in the middle that can only be crossed by going into Morph Ball under two small holes in the wall. Samus can then enter a Kinetic Orb Cannon, which will launch her to another one and in turn bring her up to a tunnel, which she can use to get to the other side. A Missile Expansion exists inside the wall.

The Dark Aether version of this room is Portal Access.

Portal Terminal

The Portal Terminal is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is the room with the second Portal that Samus uses, after the one in Hive Chamber B. However, before she can use it, she must defeat several Pirate Troopers that attack her, and then a Bomb Slot next to the portal terminal can be used. This can be used to power a Morph Ball lift. Samus must then Bomb three Talloric Alloy blocks to power the portal generation system and allow Samus to use it. Because her last trip through a Portal ended in Samus being attacked, she hesitates before slowly entering it and travelling through the interdimensional void.

There is also another Bomb Slot in a state of transdimensional flux near the door to the Transport Center, this can be lifted by using another Bomb Slot in Portal Site, the Dark Aether version of this room.

Transport Center

The Transport Center is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Initially, the entrance to this room via Save Station A is blocked by a gate, with a Missile Expansion in it. When it is entered from Portal Terminal, however a Bomb Slot exists beside the gate and can be used to lift it and collect the expansion.

There is also a Half-pipe in the middle, short on the left side and longer on the other. The left side leads to a Multi-Lock Blast Shield, while the other leads to a Portal to Crossroads.

The Dark Aetherian version of this room is Crossroads.

Transport to Torvus Bog

Transport to Torvus Bog is an elevator room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The elevator acts as a shortcut between Agon Wastes and Torvus Bog. A small opening exists within the ceiling, and three strange fan-like creatures exist on the walls. Towards the back of the room is a grassier area, along here are several stalks of Sandgrass that strangely cannot be scanned.

Save Station A

Save Station A is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is a large room with a Save Station in it, with two waterfalls of Sand and a Morph Ball tunnel, filled with sand that flows over the waterfalls. Upon emerging on the other side, a Blueroot Tree can be scanned.

Temple Access

Temple Access is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is an irregularly shaped corridor featuring a short ramp and several Blueroot Tree growths on the walls. The doors on both sides of the room are surrounded in Luminoth architecture, including their signature red circles. There is also what appears to be a bridge on the floor, partially buried by sand.

The Dark Aether version of this room was the Dark Agon Temple Access.

Agon Temple

The Agon Temple is a Luminoth temple built in the Agon Wastes. It is a room that appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. The Agon Temple room contains the temple itself, Agon Energy Controller Access, the Agon Energy Controller, and various tunnels that lead to the temple. Agon Temple fell to the Ing a short time before Samus came to return the energy to it.

Agon Temple is circular, like most other temples, and resembles a pit or gladiator ring from Roman times. The temple is virtually the only part of Agon that is not part of the Space Pirate Base or the mining stations, not counting the room where the Luminoth portal is found (although many Pirates are found there).

Agon Temple has a variety of security systems, most of them easily breakable by a Bomb. The temple is blocked by two doors, and the passage around it is protected with granite blocks which prevent access. An Alpha Sandigger once made its home in the Agon Temple, before being possessed by the Ing and turned into the Bomb Guardian. The Bomb Guardian was destroyed by Samus Aran.

The Dark Aether version of the room is Dark Agon Temple.

Controller Access

Controller Access is a room in the Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It, as the name implies, serves to provide access to the Agon Energy Controller. The controller is guarded by a Luminoth Temple Security Station, which can moved by activating a Bomb Slot within it. The room will then rotate around and allow Samus to access the door to the controller. There are several amber-colored circles on the walls, with the rest of the room giving off an Egyptian atmosphere. On the controller side of the room, a massive statue of K-Tch, a hero of Agon, can be seen above the entrance to the controller.

The Dark Aether version of this room is Dark Controller Access.

Agon Energy Controller

The controller was used by the Luminoth to store the Agon Wastes portion of the Light of Aether. The body of the sentinel of the Agon temple, I-Sha, can be found here, murdered by the Ing as they took the energy and brought it back to their temple in Dark Aether. Samus Aran is able to communicate with the hologram of I-Sha, which he created before death, and with his knowledge takes the energy from Dark Agon Wastes' Energy Controller and return it to the Energy Controller here. Samus also receives an upgrade to her Translator Module and becomes able to translate amber lore holograms and open amber Translator Doors.

Restoring the Agon Energy Controller unlocks the Pirate Fear theme in the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Multiplayer mode.

Sandcanyon

The Sandcanyon is a large room in the Agon Wastes of planet Aether, appearing within Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is a large, open-ended room with Kinetic Orb Cannons on both sides to provide transport. As its name implies, half of the room is made up of a carved curved canyon-side.

A somewhat large cavernous room containing an open sky roof and housing a large Industrial-Grade Mining Drill in the center of the room. A small mining window that oversees mining operations is housed in the back of the room, with its large blue window shielding being visible in the main courtyard. Several blue spots can be seen growing on walls, their purpose is unknown. A Kinetic Orb Cannon is present below a ledge, allowing Samus to return to the Mine Shaft easily. A Denzium wall blocks access to a cave housing a White hatch, which leads into a smaller storage cave. This cave can be seen from short hall near the tallest ledge, but the cave tunnel is blocked by stalagmites. The spot near the White Hatch contains small pieces of structure or technology, possibly broken mining equipment. A Luminoth body can also be found lying near a Bomb Slot, with a local Kralee roaming around and above it. A large ledge housing an object, a Kralee, and a door leading into another room appears normally unreachable from the ground floor, as well as a rocky ledge jutting out from a wall situated high above ground.
