There are several possible endings in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which can be achieved by either succeeding or failing to trigger various endgame scenarios. This guide will provide you with tips and tricks on how to unlock all endings in the game, including both good and bad endings, as well as a secret true ending.
Normal Good Ending in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
If you’re not a completionist, but you still want to get the good ending in the game, then you can achieve this by simply following a few simple steps:
- Be sure to save all five Galactic Troopers, including Myles MacKenzie, Reger Tokabi, Ezra Duke, Nora Armstrong, and VUE-995.
- Ally with them to stop Sylux from destroying the Teleporter at the end of the game.
- Make sure that troopers fully assist you in escaping the planet, which will result in Sylux being trapped on the dying planet.
Always respond to the distress signals that will initiate the rescue missions for all five Galactic Troopers. In each case, you need to fight enemies, so come prepared. Here’s how to get them all:
- Myles MacKenzie: Found in the Sinkhole at Fury Green via the Grove of the Sacred Tree.
- Ezra Duke: Located in the Boiler Room at the Flare Pool, which is accessible through a morph ball tunnel in Entry Bay.
- Nora Armstrong: After saving Duke, go to the South Clamp at the Flare Pool.
- Reger Tokabi: Found inside the Control Room on the second floor at Ice Belt.
- VUE-995: This mechanoid can be located at the quarry of the Great Mines.
As a result, Samus will be able to freely escape the planet with Viewros via the Teleporter. But if you don’t manage to save enough troopers by the end of the game, letting Sylux destroy the Teleporter, then you won’t be able to escape the planet. The game will still show the completion screen in this case, signifying the bad ending, just don’t expect any cutscenes, so save your game before you enter the endgame to be able to go back to Sol Valley and get the rest of the troopers on your side.
Secret True Ending (100% Completion)
For players who value every single item and upgrade in the game, the developer has prepared a special secret ending, which is considered the true ending of the game. To unlock this secret ending, you must collect all of the following items:
- 14 Energy Tanks
- 48 Missile Expansions
- 44 Shot Expansions
- 5 Power Bomb Expansions
- 2 Boost Tanks
- 25 Power Suit Upgrades
- 5 Mech Parts
- All Green Energy Crystals
But that’s not it, as before you can enter the endgame level, you’ll need to also collect all the scans for your Logbook’s Scan Visor, including all the bosses, creatures, data logs, space pirates, troopers, scout bots, and environments. Finally, you must also bring all 5 Master Teleporter Keys to activate the Teleporter.
With all of these items, upgrades, and scans collected, and all the saved troopers, once you stop Sylux from destroying the Teleporter, during the post-credits scene, you’ll see a secret ending of the game, where Samus removes her helmet and reveals her face. Then, she reverts from Legacy Suit to Varia Suit, plants the Memory Fruit, hangs Tokabi’s charm, and departs. Additionally, if you’d like to learn more about the Sylux’s origin, you can do so in the extended Gallery flashback from the main menu or by scanning the Sylux amiibo.
