Elite Control is a room located in the Phazon Mines region of Metroid Prime. It is where Samus encounters the first Elite Pirate in the game's standard route. The elite pirate is activated by a trigger that is in front of the section of the room leading to Elite Control Access. Once activated, a forcefield appears that blocks the way to the room, and the room must either be reloaded or the fight be dealt with in order to make this forcefield disappear. Dealing with the Elite Pirate fight also makes the two forcefields on the other side of the room disappear, and alerts the Ice Troopers above. Additionally, the forcefield that blocks access to Ventilation Shaft must be deactivated using the scan visor.

Elite Pirate Trigger Skip

Separately from the above, it is possible to avoid the trigger that activates the Elite Pirate fight if entering the room from either Ventilation Shaft or Maintenance Tunnel. Jump onto the standable spot nearest to Elite Control Access and perform a Space Jump in place. Once at a certain height, move forward and hug the wall above the section that leads to Elite Control Access. If successful, you will slip through the gap and avoid hitting the trigger.
