Guide for beating Omega Griever in Metroid Prime 4. Learn how to expose his weak spot without shooting his pale body parts, avoid his attacks, and what reward you’ll earn for defeating it.
Omega Griever Location
The Omega Griever will be in the Crystal Extraction chamber within Level 3 of the Great Mines. This boss is what stands between you and the Great Mines Master Teleporter Key.
Shoot it off the wall
This isn’t really that bad of a fight, all you have to do is shoot the pale parts of his body to expose his weak spot. Don’t shoot the dark parts as your shots will bounce off.
Keep shooting his pale parts, shoot his weakspot, and he’ll go onto the ground. It might be tempting to use your new Super Missiles for this fight, but a stream of standard Psychic Beams will yield a faster rate of damage.
Avoid the acidic spit
Do your best to avoid its spit as this will slow you and make you vulnerable to attacks. Rapidly press the A buttonto break free of the spit.
Jump over the shockwaves
Jump over the shockwaves the Omega Griever makes. As the fight goes on, he’ll eventually make two of them.
Avoid the tongue lashes
Side dash away when he lashes out his tongue. If you fail to do so, you’ll be pulled in and if you get to close, he’ll take a bite out of you. Shoot him in the mouth to break free if he gets you this way.
Exposing his weak spot on the ground
When he’s on the ground, there are two ways you can go about exposing his weak spot. The safe way is to keep your distance, shoot his pale spots, them pop some psychic bombs beneath his chest when he’s stunned.
f you don’t mind taking risks, don’t bother shooting the pale spots and just roll underneath him while he’s active to plant a bomb and expose his weak spot.
When you bomb him this way, he’ll reel back and expose his weak spot. Just blast it with a stream of Psychic Beams as best as you can.
First wave of Maul Grievers
When the Omega Griever is down to two-third’s of its health, it’ll summon a swarm of Maul Grievers and a Griever Bomber. Freeze the bomber first and take it out, clear the other grievers, then focus on the Omega Griever once more.
Dodge the green balls of goo
After you shoot it off the walls the second time, the Omega Griever gains a new ability. It can great a massive ball of green goo that it throws at you. It’s easy to dodge with your side dash.
Second wave of Grievers and Acid Beam Attack
When it’s down to one-third of its health, it’ll summon more grievers. Repeat the process of freezing the bomber bomber, defeating grievers, then shoot the Omega Griever off the walls. It’ll now use an Acid Beam attack and will circle around the room. Jump over the acid beam to avoid it.
Finish off the Omega Griever
When it gets low on health, it’ll feign its death and reveal a Psychic Power Bomb on its tongue. Approach it and it’ll rear back up, finish it off to claim that Psychic Power Bomb.
Earn the Psychic Power Bomb
Upon being defeated, you’ll be able to claim the Psychic Power Bomb he baited you with. With it, you can use its Powerful Diffused-Oscillation Blasts to power Energy Converters and break Gibardaum rocks to collect Green Energy Crystals.
