Are where the big ball of energy is, with rings around it?

 

[={<SMOKE>}=]

that's exactly where i am. i used the echo visor to target the switches and open the passage to the light portal, but i can't proceed once i'm in the light world.

 

[GDJustin]

Yeah there's lots of bugs in that game... you have to blast them with missiles or other beams to survive!

LOL AM I RITE!

are you in Aerie and just got the echo visor? Sounds like you could be stuck. reset. don't enter the portals if you just shot 1 or 2 sound emitters.

 

[Baconäger]

You got the echoes visor before the spiderball...?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that door is just a power bomb or missle expansion. There should be an elevator directly to the opposite of it. Just scan to activate the elevator...

 

[SantaC]

not possible

 

[={<SMOKE>}=]

i'm sorry, i don't have the echo visor, i have the other one where everything shows up in red. i didn't shoot any sound things... i shot five red things with the missile power-up and that opened a field which let me go into a light portal. it's the spot where there's the grappling hook-up and a bunch of birds fly around it.

 

[Crispy]

I got stuck with the bug where the portaldoor won't open if you shoot one of three sonar emitters, leave the room and shoot the rest of the emitters later. Had to start over from the beginning....I couldn't be bothered though and put my charm to work to trade it in for paper mario (which is really cool). I'm replaying the first metroid prime now, and super metroid.

 

[Baconäger]

Oh, you're not in the gyro room...

What you probably have is the Dark visor, what you have to do is get the outer ring to stop. There is a puzzle you must solve to get it to stop, once you get it to stop you should be able walk on it, this will take you a opening in the sphere room.

 

[={<SMOKE>}=]

i can get to the gyro room i think. you take an elevator down to a little hallway and you can walk towards the main core. it's a big ball of energy with two rings going around it, right?

the thing is, i can't do anything to it because i don't have the echo visor. i can't go back the way i came because i need the spiderball to get back to the door i initially came through (several rooms back) in both the light and dark worlds...

 

[Baconäger]

Um, head away from the door above the spiderball track. There has to be something on the opposite side of it...

I got stuck there too. I had to resett, but you didn't need to start from the begining, but from the last save.

you need to make the two rings stop spinning by using some codes. After that you should use spiderball on the inner spinning ring to get to the yellow door above you.

You are NOT stuck by a bug. No worries.

Go back up that elevator, go to where the Dark beam door is. There will be a morph ball area that in the walls.

that's it. don't know how i missed that. thanks guys!

I saved over my last save

I thought I probably needed to find some other sonar equipment to open the door (the game says there is more equipment when you pick up the visor) So I was searching for that for a few hours. Then I decided to look up a faq and I realized I was fucked.

 

[MoxManiac]

Fuck, so there's a possible stuck bug in echoes? Better copy my current save over to the other mem card...

Its news to me, I never got stuck in that manner.

No prob, Smoke. Now light a blunt and represent for your username.

 

[={<SMOKE>}=]

**puts blunt out in the ashtray and exhales**

on a related note, how the hell do you beat the spiderball boss? i get to what i'm assuming is the last "area" (the fourth one) with him, but i can't finish him? i get him to run into one of the energized barricades, but after that i can't figure out where to send him. any help?

 

[Justin Bailey]

There are two more barricades and bomb slots, use them.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Retro Studios tradition!

 

[={<SMOKE>}=]

how do you get to the other two bomb slots? that's what's messing up...

 

[={<SMOKE>}=]

somebody help, please?

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

somebody help, please?

Spoiler

Once you have him run into the first barricade, you have to go to bomb jump to the bomb slot on the left, but you have to do it fast enough to make sure his direction is changed, so he'll run into the second phazon barricade. The third one is up higher to the left, on the top platform to the left is a opening to the last barricade

.

Spoiler

So you trigger the first bomb slot, second then the third. Make sure to bomb the spider boss a few more times it increases your chances of getting to all three bomb slots
