![]() ![]() Energy Tank: In Transport Access, use the Plasma Beam to melt the ice and expose a tunnel containing the tank.Energy Tank: Contained inside one of the glass tubes in Research Lab Aether.Energy Tank: Ruined Courtyard, flood the room with water, jump to the end of the room opposite the bomb slot, and go down the Morph Ball tunnel.Three Chozo Artifacts can be found here, which are the Artifact of Spirit, the Artifact of Elder, and the Artifact of Sun.Įnergy Tank, Missile Expansion, and Power Bomb Expansion Locations Also found in the area are multiple Energy Tanks, Missile Expansions, and Power Bomb Expansions. Later, the Gravity Suit can be tracked down here. On the second visit, Samus obtains the Wave Beam after defeating the Sheegoth, the Super Missile, and Thermal Visor in the Space Pirate research area and the Spider Ball after defeating Thardus. The Boost Ball is found on the first visit. Six suit upgrades can be found in the drifts. Samus gets the Boost Ball in Phendrana Canyon. As that laboratory is implied to have been where the Metroids were created by the Chozo, it suggests that the Chozo similarly used cold temperatures to contain and render the Metroids sluggish like the Space Pirate Science Team. This fits with the cold, snowy areas of the Chozo laboratory of Area 7 in Metroid: Samus Returns, which the natural Infant Metroid baby was capable of surviving in and traveling through without the exposure being fatal to it much like the Tallon and Hunter Metroids can in Phendrana Drifts. While the area is cold, it is apparently not cold enough to actually kill Tallon Metroids and Hunter Metroids outright like the Cryosphere in Other M (as Samus dismisses the idea of Metroids being able to survive in the cold climate of the Cryosphere, though she was unaware the Federation developed Unfreezable Metroids), or Phazon mutation has made them more resistant to cold climates. In the original NTSC and Wii versions, a Hunter Metroid can be found in the Frost Cave. Tallon Metroids can be found inside the Space Pirate research facilities in Phendrana Drifts and Pirate Data implies that the Space Pirates take advantage of its cold climate to keep Metroids sluggish. Meta Ridley can also be seen briefly, soaring above Phendrana Shorelines. Adult Sheegoths later take up residence in other rooms in the Drifts. ![]() Two bosses are found in the area: an adult Sheegoth, and Thardus. Samus faces Thardus, the boss of the area.Ĭold-adapted variations of other species, such as the Ice Shriekbat, Ice Burrower, and Ice Beetle can be found in this region, as well as some more unique species, such as the Sheegoth, Flickerbat, Pulse and Scatter Bombus, creating a rather diverse range of inhabitants. Most puzzles here focus on the Gravity Suit, and the area, while retaining the general "snow" theme of the entire Phendrana area, is also oriented towards water and aquatic creatures. Most of the rooms are flooded with water beneath a certain point. It contains no ruins and some Space Pirate activity. This area is located, as the name suggests, in the depths of the Phendrana area. This research proved fruitful for the Space Pirates, who managed to develop the Thermal Visor and Thardus, a fusion of Talloric minerals and Phazon. The Space Pirates chose this location to build their base because Metroids have a vulnerability to cold, which made them much easier to contain. On the opposite side of the Drifts, a Space Pirate research facility can be found, housing Metroids as well as Space Pirate personnel - relatively small in comparison to those found in the Phazon Mines. Glacier One (Space Pirate research facility) ![]() The Shorelines area is notable for being home to a wide variety of cold-adapted wildlife, most notably the Crystallite and Sheegoth. The ruins of Chozo villages can be found here, as well as the Chapel of the Elders atop a cliff. As its name suggests, a number of the Shorelines areas feature bodies of water, or did at one point. This is the first area explored by Samus in the Drifts. Phendrana Canyon, the area Samus obtains the Boost Ball. There are three main areas in the Drifts: ![]()
