Some cool Metroid Dread tips from your local Metroid liker
Quinneapolis
1. You can Wall Jump in this game, but the controls are reversed from normal - hold towards the wall and hit A
Quinneapolis
B? whatever. the jump button
Quinneapolis
thanks to
Gabiluzbad
for that one
Tyra
stares
Tyra
that makes more sense
Quinneapolis
2. When you decloak, there is a time period before you can cloak again
Tyra
why did it take so long to make it like that???
Quinneapolis
so be absolutely sure you're safe before you decloak
Quinneapolis
Tyra
away from wall makes it harder, and it was a hidden feature so I think they wanted it to be hard to pull off
Quinneapolis
but anyway it's easy to do and feels great, but you can only get one jump off of a wall
Tyra
blah

3. In EMMI zones, if your minimap has a yellow border, you can safely do loud things
Quinneapolis
if it has a red border, you're within hearing range of the EMMI
Doctor Ansem
Ohhhh nice to know
Quinneapolis
some VER yloud things will alert the EMMI from any distance though
Quinneapolis
like mines going off
Quinneapolis
in EMMI zones, always be thinking "where will I go if I get spotted right now"
Quinneapolis
a great answer is exits to the zone, because those are 1000% safe
Quinneapolis
4. Learn the counter timing on every counterable enemy
Quinneapolis
not just for surviving them but for the DROPS
Quinneapolis
there's always a white flash when you can counter
Quinneapolis
the time window is pretty generous but tight spatially
Quinneapolis
it's very short range
Quinneapolis
5. The infinite bomb jump still works if you feel like breaking shit
Quinneapolis
6. A LOT of places have progression blocked by breakable blocks. You can learn to spot most of them - look for areas where the wall is tiled and all the tiles look the same
Quinneapolis
7. missiles are basically free
Quinneapolis
the game gives you SO many missiles
Quinneapolis
and they're so easy to restock
Quinneapolis
shit missiles at everything
Gabiluzbad
"Can you walljump" was one of the FIRST things I tried to figure out
Gabiluzbad
Because I know that it's a metroid thing but also that the game doens't always TELL YOU if you can do it
Quinneapolis
yeah walljump and IBJ are never explicitly told to the player and are never required
Quinneapolis
8. While in phantom cloak, you cannot slide, but you CAN use the morph ball
Quinneapolis
so be careful about thinking "if EMMI comes close I'll just flee through this slide hole"
Doge-lover Joja
is Morph Ball Phantom Cloak more mobile than normal Phantom Cloak movement? Or would you say it's about the same?
Quinneapolis
about the same
