| Pike Access Research Core Access |
Research Core is a room located in the Phendrana Drifts region of Metroid Prime. It contains the Thermal Visor. Upon collecting the Thermal Visor, the door leading to Research Core Access will be disabled, and Samus will need to reenergize it in order to backtrack. The door to Pike Access will still be open, however.
