Metroid Prime 4: Beyond: How To Beat Sylux (02)

Welcome back to the next section in our Metroid Prime 4: Beyond boss guides.

Here, we'll be taking on Sylux for a second time in Volt Forge. They just don't know when to quit, huh? If you're struggling with this one — and Sylux is no pushover, to be fair — then you've come to the right place. We'll go through exactly how to beat this boss and grab the Energy Tank reward at the end.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - How to Beat Sylux (02)

This fight with Sylux is actually pretty similar to our first encounter. You'll want to keep an eye on their familiar attacks, like the regular shots from their weapon, the charging melee swing, the shockwave, and the homing projectiles. If you want a full breakdown on our earlier method, check out our guide on How to Beat Sylux (01).

So yes, it's very much a case of keeping up the offensive while watching out for Sylux's usual attacks.

The one thing that's different this time is that Sylux will charge up an attack and electrify the entire floor. In this instant, use the grapple points to reach the grapple node on the wall. From here, shoot Sylux until their attack expires. At this point, you can drop down to the ground again.

Keep an eye out for this move, because it can cause significant damage if you're caught on the floor at the wrong time. Otherwise, keep attacking until Sylux is down.

That wasn't too hard, was it? Nah. But if you need any help with more bosses from Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, then check out our full walkthrough.
