Omega Pirate: Difference between revisions - Metroid Prime Speedrunning Wiki

Line 34:

For the 3rd pool there are 2 different strats.

It is faster to lay a power bomb on the edge of one of the pools about when Omega Pirate makes the loud noise. Then quickly boost or roll to the other pool where he didn't appear before unmorph and pull up X-Ray visor. Now Omega Pirate will appear in the pool where the Power Bomb explodes. If timed and placed well it will ~~finish off~~ Omega Pirate ~~quickly~~. If it wasn't enough then finish him off with charged Plasma Beam shots in this or the 4th pool.

Then quickly boost or roll to the other pool where he didn't appear before unmorph and pull up X-Ray visor. Now Omega Pirate will appear in the pool where the Power Bomb explodes. If timed and placed well it will one-cycle Omega Pirate in three pools. If it wasn't enough then finish him off with charged Plasma Beam shots in this or the 4th pool.

~~The slower strat finishes him off with 2 fully charged Plasma Beam shots instead. To successfully finish him in the 3rd pool with this strat all your Plasma shots have to be fully charged.~~

==== Super Missiles ====

Aim for the 3rd pool with power beam. As soon as he appears lock on and fire 2 missiles rapidly followed by a [[Super Missile]] to end the first pool.

For the 2nd pool ~~just~~ wait with a Power Beam ~~fully charged in one of the first pools~~ and fire ~~the super~~ as soon as he appears to end the 2nd pool.

For the 2nd pool, wait with fully charged Power Beam and fire a Super Missile as soon as Omega Pirate appears to end the 2nd pool. Repeat for any remaining pools.

~~Repeat this again on the other 2 pools and he should be finished.~~

<small>Note: It might happen that Omega Pirate replenishes his armor in the 3rd or 4th pool already. This happens if you were too slow in one of the pools so he could replenish 2 armor pieces in one pool, or if you pre-shoot Omega Pirate too quickly as he spawns in. To avoid this from happening you should move towards Omega Pirate while shooting at him to reduce travel time for your shots, and avoid pre-shooting Omega Pirate before he spawns in.</small>
