@@bringmepieskm You can't do spinespark mid air if Samus performs a salto. You must cancel the salto with a shoot. Press Y+B mid air and the shinespark will work.
Thanks for the guide. I stared waching this on the 8th when the game dropped you had to have a big head start playing like how were you even on hard mode day One?
Games been out a single day and already people have mastered it 100 percent on hard mode. I don't know if that's good or bad 🤣 I'd live to get this ga,e but I don't have a switch and I don't fancy buying one literally for one game. Looks great though
@@markroyds23 its like gaming is another limb for them. and also, i got a ps5 just collecting dust cause i dont really like the games for it thus far or i already have versions of it on the pc which runs better than the ps5.
i didn't see a 3 hour playthrough on hard mode, I saw a 3 hour long promotion that the melee attack in Metroid Dread is the most busted ability in the whole franchise.
Never expected to see Kraid in this game. Then ending fight seems to suggest that Samus could actually bring the metroid race back from extinction because she is essentially a Metroid Queen.
2:00:31 You can really see the similarity's of the old Varia Suit and The Chozo Suits. Thought that looked pretty cool as it adds to the lore the Chozo did in fact create the power suits.
@@GUMMY_MKII Nope, the game still continue. Because the bridge is destroyed. In order to return to the Gunship, Samus has no choice but to find the 2nd way to do so. That's the full game about it.
@@joellim6988that’s such a stupid take, sure gameplay takes precedent but story is still really important for many games and series such as this. It’s how you get people like me to play, I don’t really care for Metroidvanias they have too much back tracking but this game looked cool and the stores lore was good enough to get me in and let me deal with the things I don’t like.
I am impressed what Mercury Steam did with the Metroid franchise. Metroid Dread has shown us how the Spanish studio has improved since their Castlevania Lords of Shadow Days.
@@AmeNGO758 Isn't that what they're most known for? LOL! Or at least was, Metroid Dread seems to be the start of a new beginning for them since Samus Returns kinda flopped.
@@AmeNGO758 ikr Samus returns didn't flop at all is actually the reason how they improved. They acknowledged some community critics improved and brought back the super metroid feeling with an entire new Dread. Metroid fans are finally pleased I hope they make a ton of money out of this game they deserve it
I honestly can't wait for Nintendo to redo Metroid Fusion with the engine used for this one and the Super Metroid remake. God imagine how awesome the SA-X scene's are going to be with that upgrade.
Super Metroid doesn't need a remake . Dread is a good game but it lacks the haunting atmosphere of Super Metroid, i miss the classic sound effects and soundtrack style as well . Not being a downer because this game is good , i just miss the classic vibe of it .
Took me almost 9 hours to beat it. Took my time with getting some extra upgrades. It's amazing that you did 3 hours on here. Should put it up on hltb as a record. Thanks for getting us through with this run. UNTIL THE NEXT MISSION!
@@duartesaraiva5175 It took me 18 hours to 100% the game… Now I’m following this guide and I have 45 minutes to defeat the final boss in order to beat it within the four hour mark
You made hard mode look so damn easy! To the fact that Samus is too powerful in this latest Metroid game. Then after credits say "see you next mission" made me want to see what will be the next for Samus Aran now that she's transformed as the hybrid chozo/human/metroid combined!
3:07:00 I want this, but just it sounding like samus is watching a movie or cartoons just chilling LOL. I don't know why, but as SOON as I saw her sitting there, I just kinda wanted cartoon or movie vibes/sounds in the background XD! -edit- seeing her still sitting before she gets OUT of the pod, she really has a "this is my throne" feel to it. XD! I had a feeling of "expecting to be judged" or something.
Huney…HONTY!!!! You’re gameplay, editing….etc,etc,etc!!!! Mane, i done caught my life watching this…yes and did subscribe before the damn, “MOVIE” ended. Thank you for making my Saturday mornings feel like a kid again. Job well done😌
I suffered so much in this final boss, it's awesome how it gets easier if you know exactly how to evade him xD I also love how the Quiet Robe X decided to be passive with Metroid Suit Samus just to literally kill the "metroid suit transformation" in her. XD
My first and blind playthrough I collected all items and OCD'd the map and removed all the fog. Took 15 hours but might have saved some time if I waited until I got the space jump ability and gravity suit.
After beating the game in Normal mode, I did it again in hard mode right after and it actually didn't "feel" as hard the 2nd time. The game teaches you how to play better, even the Raven Beak fight didn't take as many tries on hard mode. Certain bosses are big pushovers once you know their tricks. I'm seriously contemplating a Dread mode run.
Best guide and no comments was the cherry on top. Thanks for helping me. I used it for my hard guide, did it in 3 hours and a couple of more items than your guide.
1:05:13 - 1:05:25 _That_ is what I call an alpha female power move. Edit: 1:07:49 She dodged that thing so apathetically! Samus be like: "Bruh ... I've been dealing with this kind of nonsense for years. I won't even dignify it with a startled reaction." EMMI: "Greetings!" Samus: "Now THERE'S a face I can dread!"
If anyone is struggling to do the jumping shine spark at 1:27:45 you can just use speed booster along that straight away to jump to the platform on the far right of the room and then hold Down to save your shine spark when you land on that platform and then shine spark straight up to the missile. It’s still A little difficult but I find it to be easier than a jumping Shine spark.
@@bensaadoussema9679 loved the game. Stuck on the last boss though. Might go back and play the older games now. As a kid I didn't understand the need to backtrack.
@@mystyle_jm8997 Less chafing in the suit I guess. Wearing a bikini in a suit could cause the "metal" parts to rub against her skin or something. Wearing a body suit would reduce skin overall skin contact.
I love how the X just seem to be MUCH weaker than anything thats the real deal, and to Samus they are just a health/energy pack and ammo with extra steps, and even MORE so than NORMAL enemies, like, 100% every kill thats an X, is ENTIRELY something you can absorb for energy and ammo, and is MUCH more efficient than normal enemies.
Just beat hard mode with a time of 3:44. I had already 100% the game without a guide, but with all that exploring realized when I went in for time that I didn’t remember specifically where to go. So thanks for the help.
Yea I spent way too much time in this, I was making a mistake of pressing the direction before the B button for flash spark, once I realized that I need to hit B first and then chose the direction it took me 3-4 tries to get it right
crazy how good animation has gotten, this can be played on a hand held and it looks 1000 times better then Metroid Prime on the game cube all those years ago.
2:16:25 Wait, THAT'S how easily you can grab that bloody missile expansion?! OMG, I always did it from the other side and charged a Shinespark on that short end, used Cross Bombs to get across the Crumble Blocks and nearly broke my fingers trying to get the Bomb + Shinespark done before the Shinecharge expired LMAO I feel so dumb :D Excellent video btw
i am not denying that you absolutely kill it in this game. your skill level is through the roof. i used you're 100% walkthrough on my normal playthrough and it was a life saver.... so naturally when i started my play through on hard mode i used this one almost all the way through. that being said, i just want to say that it was a little frustrating when i realized that you didn't pick up all the energy tanks. i also didnt notice until i got to experiment no. Z-57 (last boss in cataris). now i don't want to be a dick and complain about it because i know you're amazing at the game so obviously you don't need the health... but i wanted to 100% it and now its taking me forever to go all around the maps to find the other energy tanks. i just wanted to let you know. the normal walkthrough you did is PERFECT *chefs kiss*.. this one is great as well, i just wish you got all the energy tanks. i could care less about the missiles because you can get to 200 without even trying on your second playthrough. i still subscribed and i still liked the videos. thanks so much!
I have completed this game many times already but when I went to sleep I guess I left RU-vid on and it eventually this video got suggested and It got played the whole night. Free view for you :) love this game too much
I never thought I see that twist at the end. But then again, I believe something similar happened in Metroid Fusion towards the end of that. Amazing and flawless gameplay 👍
Small trick for the Escue boss. Before you enter the room, you could charge up a Shinespark by using a walljump to keep it going as Escue enters the room, and then ram into it when the fight starts. This won't kill it outright, but definitely does a lot of damage.
So good, and what a twist ending! Your gameplay skill really is astounding, expecially the missiles+ tank that requires a lot of pretty frame-perfect shinesparks. Still can't get that one.
I don't know why，but I sucked at metroid type game and I spent whole morning try to beat No-Z57 to no availe，but after watching your walkthrough I realized you don't actually need to prolong the fight，so I went back to try it and it only took me three more tries to beat it. I sincerely thank you for giving me confidence boost for that boss，because I really suck at this game😭
Was kinda nitpicking about some design decisions like the neon patchs, minimalistic feel in some parts and the "constant federation aesthetic" (also babycrying because it's no metroid prime 4 yet) but man...what a game! They added so much to the lore! Used various elements that are usually only referenced as brief background...the way they vocalized ancient alien language remembered me of the luminoth npc on echoes, they really did a good job...expecting this to have a continuation.
I wish the first few E.M.M.I’s were as broken as the first one!! But no, you get a small intro with that broken one and then it’s on 100% operational ones! Unforgiving!!
1:00:22 Imagine doing this on dread mode, it would be a nightmare. Also another thing I like is that samus's arm cannon changes color upon getting the plasma beam, it changes from yellow/orange to green and I think purple with wave beam but I'm not sure
