Portal Site is a room in the Dark Agon Wastes. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

DescriptionEdit

The Portal Site is entirely identical in architecture to the Portal Terminal, its Light Aether counterpart. In a cutscene, Samus jumps through the Light Portal that would take her back to Aether, and then walks towards the end of her Safe Zone, sticking her left hand through it and quickly retracting said hand after realizing the atmosphere of Dark Aether is radioactive.

A message then appears onscreen: "Dark Aether's atmosphere is dangerous. Glowing Safe Zones protect you from Dark Aether's atmosphere. Some Safe Zones must be shot to function. Shoot the sparkling energy nearby to energize the Safe Zone. Energized Safe Zones don't last forever! To reactivate a Safe Zone, shoot the sparkling energy again." Bladepods, Light Portals and Light Crystals and Light Beacons canfirst be scanned here.

Samus' main goal in the Portal Site is to activate a Bomb Slot, the atoms of which are split between both Aethers. This action lifts a gate blocking an exit from the room. On subsequent visits after defeating Amorbis, three Dark Pirate Troopers try to ambush Samus as she escapes the room, although if she has the Light Beam, she can turn the tides on them by luring them into a Safe Zone, and then she can supercharge it to incinerate them.

TriviaEdit

In the Trilogy version of the game when the Dark Pirate Troopers attack Samus in this room, the Pirate Attack theme plays until she escapes the room or kills all of them. This music does not play in the Gamecube version.
