Hall of the Elders (sometimes shortened to HoTE) is a room in the Chozo Ruins region of Metroid Prime. It is a room consisting of many parts. Upon first arrival, there will be a trigger that activates the Chozo Ghost fight. In the developer intended route, this is supposed to be Samus' first fight with one of the Chozo Ghosts. In the middle of a room is a statue that, when morphed into, will launch Samus down one of various paths. Behind the statue is a set of three bomb slots, which individually require Wave Beam, Ice Beam and Plasma Beam to activate. These slots must first be activated using the Bomb Slot in front of the statue. Once activated, these bomb slots determine which path Samus will be launched into by the statue.
- By default, the statue rolls Samus onto a Spider Ball track, where she is encouraged to use Spider Ball in order to get to the bomb slot that activates the other three bomb slots.
- The Wave Beam path leads to Reflecting Pool Access, which is normally blocked by a forcefield. Once near the door, Samus can deactivate this forcefield.
- The Ice Beam path leads to an undersection of the room that houses an Energy Tank.
- The Plasma Beam slot moves the statue forwards, revealing a vertical Ice Beam door that leads to the room Elder Chamber, which contains the Artifact of World. Worth noting is that it is possible to force load this room from out of bounds, even without first moving the statue, and it is possible to get out of the statue from within.
The Chozo Ghost fight will lock most of the doors once activated, meaning that the fight has to be dealt with in order to unlock the doors. This means that activating the fight is a significant source of time loss in any% runs, and should be avoided whenever possible.
Additionally, the room contains a missile recharge station.
Without Spider Ball
With Space Jump
It is possible to activate the three bomb slots behind the statue without Spider Ball. To do this, jump onto the peg that sticks out of the wall, then simply jump onto the platform that houses the bomb slot.

Without Space Jump
This trick is a little more difficult if Samus doesn't have the Space Jump Boots. Jumping on the peg without SJ requires a Scan Dash that lands on the peg. Once on the peg, carefully perform a double bomb jump and unmorph in the direction of the bomb slot. If successful, Samus will be able to land on the platform and use the bomb slot as normal.
Bomb Jump Into Morph Ball Tunnel
It is possible to skip having to activate the bomb slots in order to get to Reflecting Pool Access. By performing a particular bomb jump, it is possible to get into the tunnel through the gap in the wall.
3BJ Method
Alternately, a Triple Bomb Jump will also work.

Early Energy Tank from Out of Bounds
It is possible to get the energy tank from out of bounds simply by morphing into the exposed morph ball tunnel. To get out, simply bomb your way out of the tunnel and unmorph.
Early Artifact of World
There are multiple ways of bypassing the statue to get the Artifact of World early and without the Plasma Beam.
Out of Bounds Method
If out of bounds, it is possible to activate the door to Elder Chamber from the aether and forcing the room to load by moving near the door. If successful, Samus will now be inside Elder Chamber and will be free to pick up the Artifact of World.
