Metroid Dread - What Happens If You Use Omega Cannon Outside EMMI Zones? 

I find it dumb that they made indestructible machines that one an energy that exists by chance.. and there are no Soldiers with that kind of Armor. Even Samus' isn't that powerful.

@@Big_Dai Tanks have armor plating, but you don't see soldiers running around covered in that. There's other things to consider, than just making armor out of something. The fact that there's only like 8 EMMI in existence means the material is super rare; they don't have the spare material to made foot soldier armor. Also, we don't know the qualities of the material; it could be extremely heavy or radioactive. I feel like the lore for them is fine. The only reason they can be destroyed anyway, is because the energy is from some unknown Chozo super tech, and most of the time requires extreme heat to burn off the outer plating of the EMMI to do any harm.

@@Augoeides32 aren't there 7 Emmi?

@@sherbertshortkake6649 I think theres 8 emmi, correct me if im wrong but i dont think the emmi at the start of the game thats already broken counts as one

@@velvetlol7669 I thought it was 1. Broken EMMI 2. White 3. Green 4. Yellow 5. Blue 6. Purple 7. Bronze Also doesn't Adam say 7 EMMI? And the map?

Yeah it’s kinda crazy that they designed every environment in detailed 3D so that it can be viewed from the first person even though most won’t even see it that way

Just realized that you could do that to other soldiers in a real non hacked game of dread because you can skip some of them

@@pmahcgop6693 That makes a lot more sense now! Wow talk about really good eye for detail by the MecurySteam team.

This is why real time cutscenes are better

When does she use the life drain. Time stamp please.

@@pmahcgop6693 same... I do a lot of sequence breaking in order to shave my 100% run down to just just over the 4 hour mark at this particular moment... I want to get it well under 4 if not under 3... I have a habit of convincing myself that an item or something isn't that far of my path and will go for it while im in the area but I haven't planned or plotted a route.... I've just played through it probably 150-200.. or more times and have figured out my own tricks and skips or whatever... I haven't had internet for over a year so I've been just cranking away at it when im not at work, lol... and the Zelda Oracle games in anticipation for Tears of the Kingdom..

Maybe it's tied to the power bomb being active?

I honestly was really surprised by that! I wonder if MercurySteam had intended for more Chozo Soldier fights while Samus was in her 2nd to final form.

I program for a living, and what that tells me so they coded the sequence where she drains the Chozo soldiers in a generic way. It could be a sign they weren’t sure how many soldiers there would be until after that sequence was designed

That was easily one of the coolest most noteworthy things in the video

@@sdavidb9626 Interestinggggg

I saw a speed runner talking about it. it does a set amount of damage that is huge for the early game but really nothing special compared to all the stuff you get by the end of the game

Omega Stream and Blaster each deal 100 damage, and both plasma and wave beam do much more damage. But Omega Stream can shoot 4 times per second, so rapid fire is insanely good.

@@sheek-uh any damage stats on Plasma and Wave Beam?

@@nicholasfinch4087 I don't remember exactly, but one of them's 240

@@sheek-uh That doesn’t seem right considering ice missiles are 280.

This would be really cool and as a add on to what you said maybe there could be two categories for example the fusion suit and the updated fusion suit in dreads recap of metroid fusion, the varia suit in dreads recap of metroid fusion, the varia suit from samus returns same with the gravity suit,primes version of the varia and gravity suit, maybe the light,dark,ped,and phazon suits and even those suits re-imagined the same way the fusion and varia suit were in the recap for fusion.(edit: oh and variations of all of those based on dreads version of the power suit, and this last one is a little far fetched but maybe cosmetcis based off of characters from past games like dark samus, mother brain, ridley etc)

I'd love to wear Metroid prime 2's suits for this game, that'd be cool

Like in Metroid Prime games, where you can wear the fusion suit.

If we could get the phazon suit that would be sick

Nah that would spoil too much. But the Light suit from Prime Echoes would be dope!

It deals abysmal damage tho so u need to be perfect with aim

Watch it be a paid dlc

I'd pay for it

What's there to "appreciate" about it? If the cannon was only meant to damage the EMMIs who gives a F if it hurts other enemies or not?

@@Chuito12PR You don't know anything about coding, obviously. It would be a waste of time to limit what enemies get hurt and which ones don't when you already can't escape the EMMI rooms with the Omega cannon. This isn't an indie game either, the "devs" aren't writing and coding the story. The lore of the game is that the EMMI's are made of the strongest material in the universe and indestructible except for the power of the Omega energy. The fact that every other enemy in the game isn't obliterated by a single shot is proof it was just a "meh, whatever" situation.

Eh. it's no where near as powerful as mashing the buttons with the beam, or other attacks. It's funny how it is really strong on some enemies but not on others. Like it was horrendously slow killing the robot Chozo soldiers and the Chozo warriors and Golzuna but seemed really good against Kraid and Corpius.

It's cause it doesn't recognize that you have the Omega Cannon, so it doesn't register that it needs to slow down.

@@sheek-uh Or that it's Central Unit is still intact which gives it it's intelligence like running towards Samus and without it they become stupid and walk, lore wise at least

Oh and the omega blaster doesn’t work,this is likely due to the game not registering a dead central unit in that area so the game doesn’t allow you to kill the E.M.M.I

Keep in mind that to kill RBX you needed a continuous blast of the Hyper Beam while he was moving erratically, so no, i don't think that the auto aim was unnecessary

PutPity sure RBX is a trigger kill. You have to be dealing damage to him at a specific set of frames to not be one hit killed. The point where it grabs the older and lifts up it checks the trigger. If no damage then game over, if damaged then RBX is defeated. I'm pretty sure there is no set amount of damage to deal, personally I've waited to last minute to start charging the beam and killed him.

He showed that in another video, Samus just slides for as long as it takes to reach the other side.

It’s just sliding more. No stopping lol

She just keeps sliding

basically megaman

She has those cool shoes with wheels in them

Obviously, its a powerful console you know?

yeah it's a 3D game you just see it from a fixed perspective.

Well they can't make 2d models look 3d in a 3d environment now can they?

Amassive

wait, you thought this was a sprite-based game?

You don’t actually need the hyper beam to kill RBX, Ive seen it done with regular beams. At a certain point he just dies.

@@Arock_twsno he has hp it’s just that the this blaster deals such abysmal damage u have to be perfect whilst the beam has room for slack

Who is "he"?

​@@titsticklerthompson981 the youtuber

This was the best Metroid game yet I find it odd that after a master piece like dread they are returning to the prime (fps) model. Step backwards in my opinion🤔

11:15 I the omega angle It gets right up that X infused ass😂😂😂

No worries, at the beginnging she will have some kind of amnesia / lost the manual / the trial expiered so she will have to go get another contract extension.

I think that's already covered in the ending of Metroid dread. Probably quiet robe sealed the metroid stuff away. With his race being the ones that could control the metroid originally.

@@NL0Gwenster I found it interesting how they resolved that in the end. Quiet Robe's reincarnation via the X (and especially "decomposing" in the gunship to restore Samus to her original form so she could escape the planet) suggests that the X Parasite is (or at least can become) intelligent and sympathetic, and not just hell-bent on consuming everything. I know they've already explained some aspects of that in both Fusion and the beginning lore of Dread, but that only made clear that the X could assimilate and mimic another creature. I feel like the resolution here in Dread goes a step beyond that, which could lead to some interesting story possibiities in the future.

@@KieferSkunk I think the only reason it helped Samus at the end was due to how the X fully copies the host creature, including its personality and known skills and incorporate it into that instance of the X and keep those even if it takes a new form (as seen by the Chozo Warriors having good spearmanship and X Robe being able to re-activate the EMMI's), so its more likely that the X copied Quiet Robe's caring and sympathetic nature and that helped Samus, although it doesn't explain why they re-activated the EMMI's. But at the same time, there is the possibility it just knew it would die and used Samus as an escape route to live and took its chances, and Quiet Robe's personality or appearance had no effect on that X.

@@vaguelyhumanoid7419 good thoughts overall. Regarding the reactivated EMMI's. Maybe another deliberate attempt at helping Samus due to its original kindness and fondness for her. Because she needs the upgrades they posses to have a chance against raven beak.

Using the hyper beam against an x parasite disengrates its much like the x parasite from rb-x

This is MercurySteam, of course they coded that.

Huh

@@novustalks7525 she's usually not supposed to absorb any chozo soldiers till she fights the last red one then the gold elite one

Another thing is i believe it may be tied to her abilities and that it is gained right after the cutscene where she absorbs the energy of the orange emmi either that or it may be tied to some code or script that activates after that cutscene i may be wrong on this(if i am right about it being a script then the reason why samus may be doing it then is become the script may have saw that she had the power bombs already which would happen after when she already absorbed the red chozo soldier)

@@cjm1242 I know this was like a month ago but if you sequence break you can skip several Chozo soldiers and of you go back to fight them after you beat the red Emmi she will absorb them as well so you don't need cheats to do so

probably checks wether or not you have powerbombs unlocked

yeah it's really not that good at all

I was kind of hoping the fact that you didn’t manually destroy the last central core would give you unlimited omega Cannon from there on.

@@jackmoseley4959 i was hoping for a newgame plus with her badass new suit. no all I got was hardmode

@@iananderson4754 and extra hard mode

Usually you get the morph ball bombs after you defeat him but if you sequence break, you can actually get them before you battle him. This was an intentional design.

Sequence breaks. Gotta love them. Zero Mission is a perfect example of that

Well it’s that the damage is terrible and the emmi is kinda a gimmick fight

better than your default beam

I wuld love to know this, as well.

Emulated on pc probably or hacked switch my mate plays botw on his pc with all sorts of stuff running it looks insanely good.

My guess is they reused the same base "bullet" object and just gave it some extra flags so only it can damage the EMMI

Yeah, I just completed it yesterday, started watching a few RU-vid vids, realised I had missed SOOOO many different types of attacks on bosses. This isn’t the only one, there’s so many other ones.

Wait, how did he turn the Scan Pulse into a weapon? I didn't see it being used here.

@@weatherman1504 The one at 15:25. May be a bit of a stretch, but it really seems like it could be, since he uses the lightning armor for the first phase and beam burst in the second.

@@LoppinLazy I don't think he's using Scan Pulse, but he does seem to use some version of Beam Burst and Lightning Armor.

Raven beak destroyed the 1st one

It's called Hyper Beam if you check Samus' stats during the escape sequence

No you cant. No weapon can hurt a EMMI aside the Omega Stream/Canon. Funny though te omega weapons can only kill the when the thier Control unit is taken down Sry for Bad Englisch

It’s damage types, not values. I guess the reason the Hyperbeam can still damage EMMI armour is something they threw in for hackers.

@@jackmoseley4959 the reason it does that is because there's a core that blocks the way to samus' ship and it has to destroy it

@@eyald.8252 Yeah pretty much anything that can be destroyed needs to be destroyable by Hyperbeam to be able to escape

You can only use it if you require bombs earlier than you normally do and you wouldnt do that in a normal playthrough

He’s actually over the cap, because of the exploit he’s using for this. He’s starting with the max 275 missiles/15 power bombs and then grabbing some again just through normal gameplay.
