Metroid Prime Remastered Hive Mecha Boss Guide - How To Beat

The Hive Mecha is relatively straightforward. All you need to do is take out all of the Ram War Wasps that emerge from the machine's 'mouth'. These will quickly encircle Samus before stopping and diving headfirst at her. You can easily kill them one by one by focusing on them while they're at a standstill.

Once the Ram War Wasps are dealt with, the Hive Mecha will open its mouth, revealing a red light. Shoot it repeatedly until it closes again. More Wasps will emerge, so just repeat this process two more times to beat the Hive Mecha. If you want to conserve energy here, a good way to avoid the Wasps is to jump right when they're about to fly into you.
