Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Boss Battle "Rundas"

[JKMlive]

Damn

what a way to die

by your own ice pillar

[falcothunder]

Christopher R. Sabat... that's the voice actor for Rundas.. Same person who does Vegeta and Piccolo; for those of you that might have not known. I just learned this now lol

[SlamageEntertainment]

I was a bout to Kill him Until he threw those Annoying ice Crystal and I died, WTF!

[iPodDude21]

Corrupted Rundas saves ur butt, then tries to freeze ur butt. Moral of the story, don't trust a corrupted Rundas with ur butt.

[TheLouise7760]

rundas is mi favorite hunter

[leo12scar12]

I named my fusion character rundas

[TheSupershadow112]

im at his stage though

[TheSupershadow112]

i cant get to rundas i need a walk through!

[naruto12668]

Rundas you shall be avenged, Dark Samus tonight you dine in hell!!!

[amimizunofan22]

Loved this fight, loved this music. Thanks for posting.

On a side note, I always laugh watching Rundas run. XD No wonder he prefers to glide around on ice; he looks a lot more graceful that way.

[TheLiddleFishKeeper]

Thumbs up if you killed dark samus for Rundas's sake

[Metroidguy94]

@TheLiddleFishKeeper Hell yeah. When I shot Dark Samus in the face for the last time, I was like, "This is for Rundas, you goddamn psycho bitch!"

[TheLiddleFishKeeper]

@Metroidguy94 Same here. Rundas was so awesome, but too bad we had to kill him. I would've loved to see him shoot an ice beam at dark samus

[dragon80l]

i had't had a battle like this in a lone time

[xXCOD6Xx]

What an ass!! Leaving with out saying good bye! ><

[JennaLouiseXO]

NOOOOOO RUNDAS! D:

Man, I liked him.

[Speedy19191]

WHY DID U HAVE TO KILL RUNDAS :O

[DarkLordknight71]

I'm at rundas early xD I just jump across the lave and lost a little bit of health

[toumy9358]

ive killed this guy in 30 seconds flat.

hypermode abuse ftw :)

(aka - let urself go corrupted and let him damage you a little so you can blast him some more.)

[Delention]

@toumy9358 Your probably the smartest guy I've seen fight Rundas so far. O_o

Granted, I took him down around 30 seconds too, but you just gave the proper use of Hypermode. Shame he's so easy, cus his battle music is so freakin awesome. -_-

[vanhart89]

i cant beat this guy for nothing. One minute my health is at 99 then it drops to 14 in a instant

[MrLegodude1997]

Why did he have to die!

[Soundninja200]

you were actually more expert than me. nice job!

[awsomeyoshi2]

i was at low health when i beat him

at that time i was thinking

WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rip Rundas T_T

[mwhy54]

If you listen very, very closely at 3:23, Rundas says, "I am sorry Samus...." It's pretty hard to hear since he's gasping. It's really depressing. Rundas was the best out of all the hunters, besides Samus. R.I.P. Rundas T_T

[ArbyandSethFilms]

@mwhy54 how did you spot that.. i didnt hear it

[tipat69]

it`s bad to battle a friend and kill them

[Adeodatus229]

where is the other energy pack i only have two

[vanhart89]

@Adeodatus229 look at alternative gamer 1 playthrough. He'll show you

[crabboy100]

RIP RUNDAS one of the best hunters ever

[walshy213]

Fucking hell, I realize how god awful at this game I am after watching this.

[MrStu1966]

i just spent 2 and a half hours trying to beat this guy on veteran - and still failed. love to see the subsequent comments.

by the way, i've bedded over 200 women.

[spore56go]

i beat rundas in one minute 18 seconds. he is easier than the berserker lord. lol and i was on veteran too.

[Gruulthedragonslayer]

what difficulty r u playing in when i played this it wuz 1st in normal n he wuz kinda ez 4 me

da music 4 dis fight is awesome

[Serris0809]

I love the way the missiles look in this game...

[watsthat3]

really your good then this guy gave me hell when i first battled him

[watsthat3]

i think they mde rundas to easy he should of been the toughest

[Rmadridista4life]

music makes this boss fight

[TheMorpheel]

When i saw Rundas getting impaled by his own ice pillar i was left speechless. worst way to die.

[jawwalk2]

This boss was fun

Your good

[Andyrolled]

i love how theres like achievments in this game

[ArbyandSethFilms]

Thats funny, right after you kill a close friend, something comes up from the ground and its an upgrade

surely samus is upset to have forced to kill a close friend.

[Superlightningblade]

The only thing I don't really like about the bosses in this game, is the fact that thye have soooooo much health, and that the only way that you can do good damage to them, is by going into hyper mode, but that uses up your own health....

See what I mean???

[mrvinton13]

you were suppose to have around 45 missles and 4 energy tanks at the time of that battle...but no biggly..you did well

[KronikalAnoshmo]

i think Rundas could be related to Noxus from MPH somehow

[XenoKnightSigma]

I think you're on to something...

[Andyrolled]

yea, they should have been in metroid prime hunters together!!!

[metaridleyfan2]

why do they have to make the music sad? oh wait, he saved you from meta ridley... whoops :)

[Danjal987654321]

Yep, the sad like music is why this is my second favourite boss battle in MP3. She's fighting and is forced to kill a long known collegue/friend who's helped her through the start of the game. That's beutyfull. Plus it's an awsome battle.

[kleptomanicscousers]

dunno the current exchange rate but £25 should be somewhere in between 40-50 dollars as a rough guess

[warthur8]

this boss sucks...it has a few hp on the end ,but he throws those big ice thing on me!

[blackchaosshadow]

I just love the way Nintendo are getting eveything messed up. Look at this, saying its a game that a Kid could play... OH NOES IT AINT! Just go watch the final boss fight of Kirby's dream land 3 and see what I mean. In Mother 2 (Earthbound) Giygas got Nintendo in trouble for Scaring Little kids! WTF?!?

Then we go to the Family friendly (And crap) games like Wii sports and carnival games, My 85 Year old Grandma Agree'd that They Sucked!

[KronikalAnoshmo]

lol when i was like 3 i was afraid of Andross from the SNES

[blackchaosshadow]

I agree he was a lil freaky, and when those Skulltulas from OoT just fell from the celing and scared the Shyte outta me.

[slashingrod2]

god, i love this game, but my wii doesn''t play any wii games anymore :( it's just like having a fucking gamecube!

[kleptomanicscousers]

that happened to me too had to send it to nintendos HQ to get it fixed only costs £25

[slashingrod2]

well, about a month ago i was able to buy a new one :). unfortunately, it won't let you copy data if you already played the games. it wasn't bad for the wii games but for the downloaded games...it won't let me! that's why we still have the broken one to play those games. by the way, how much does that cost in american money?

[kathythehedgehog]

do any of them come bac? it would be kinda sad if dark samus killed them all...

[LDTREX]

nah they all die :( pretty dark for a nintendo game huh?

[SmashBrawler101]

God I fucking hated killing him; he quickly became my most favorite Metroid character the moment you had to meet him and the other hunters on the Valhalla. I swear, if Sakurai doesn't incorporate Rundas as a playable character in the next Smash Bros. game, I will be pissed. Three Smash Bros. games later and there's STILL no other Metroid characters! Sometimes I think Sakurai is an asshole; seriously, when I found out that Waluigi was only an assist trophy in Brawl, I felt like punching a wall.

[PhazonPhantom]

You meet them on the Olympus.

[SmashBrawler101]

Yeah, I just found that out on the Metroid wiki recently.....I get confused between both the Valhalla and the Olympus every time I play Corruption because the vessels look so damn similar.

[waluigiwithashotgun]

me to i wanted waluigi playable so badly he better be on the next smash bros

[phr33laz0rs]

I remember my first time with this boss. I didn't know you had to rip off his armor, so I just kept shooting. Took me about 5 mins before I realized was making no progress XD

[legolasladd]

I named my goldfish Samus.

[vincentstarkiller]

thats great luser

[SmashBrawler101]

You know? Fuck you. Calling someone a loser just for naming their beloved pet fish after a video game character? You're an asshole.

[SSBBretiree09]

I fight Rundas on veteran without hypermode at all and it was fun. it took ten minutes, but I like it long because the music is so great and its more fun without hypermode cause he dies too easily with it. I know it's a boss, but a cool boss dying too quickly is not cool.

[moragmortal]

Good, *thumbs up*. But, if I were you I had immediently used the Hypermode after you ripped Rundas armour for the first time.

PS: Were did you get 25 ammo? I just had 15 o.o

[akilla2007]

i bought this game 2days ago and its the first metroid game i have ever played and i love it...i think i might buy the other gamecube metroid games so i can know the whole story

[JTCPingas09]

i bought it yesterday. it's also my first metroid prime game.

[eladam0]

lol same here

[slashingrod2]

you could also try hunters for the ds, but it honestly has nothing to do with phazon or metroid prime (a.k.a. dark samus)

[smashmasterboy44]

Its much easier if you know his weakness and use it on him when he doesn't have the armer

[bionicleanime]

real good for a 1st time battle, but have u tried "HYPER-MODE"? he's merciless at that difficulty! the only thing that kept me from dying was shooting those snowballs to get some health orbs. man, sucks that Rundas died, he alone should've survived.

PS: this is my favorite boss battle in Corruption and the theme is so thrilling!

[ODSTxHeLLxJuMpeR]

suks that all the hunters die in this game

[bionicleanime]

i know, huh? and what about the DS game? none of the other hunters died, not even the space pirate one called Weavel!

[MetroidMaster56]

So you are addicted to Metroid? I have played every game except for Pinball and Hunters.

[TheCommentGiver2000]

pinball is stupid!!LOL

[MetroidMaster56]

I completely agree.

[slashingrod2]

well, hunters is addicting, but it's too short.

[neoman289151]

when i got this game i couldn't believe how addicting it would be!

[TheCommentGiver2000]

Yup youre right!!

[neoman289151]

finaly a response! :P

[sindiewen]

man it was sad when rundas died at the end. i finaly got this game yesterday and i beat him yesterday. he was alot harder when u dont use hypermode on him lol

[RedHero13]

my favorite mini boss in corruption

[guitarboss8]

On 3:25 Rundas was free from corruption, and het tried to warn Samus, but Dark Samus killed him so he couldnt, and cause Rundas couldnt work against him/her. Im very sad he died, cause he was cool, and he was a good hunter.

#@^%@$**&#@!@!# DARK SAMUS!!! YOURE SO WEAK!!!!

[Omegahazard]

thats one thing i like about metroid, they can come up with characters that are likable without even trying, infant metroid, ridley rundas, they don't even bother to give them center role and yet we miss them when they die

[texasportillos]

*cries* the music is so sad, having to kill the kind hunter was awful

[matrixmairo]

is it just me, or does the rocket luacher look like crap? maybe it's not the rocket luancher

[sindiewen]

the missle launcher looks difrent than the other metroid primes. i liked it when the end fans out instad of wat mp3 is doing with it

[matrixmairo]

mp3 is...? cuz alot of people are say mp3 reather then mph

[metroidrocks321]

he would be so freakin awesome if he was playable in super smash bros brawl!

[Omegahazard]

that might have happened if sakurai actually reasarched the game

[sindiewen]

rundas in brawl. great idea! he would make a perfect charicter in the game

final smash for rundas= hypermode. damage incresses and defence incresses. looses about 100 health if used fully

[IFNEST]

I am sad whenever Rundas dies. Rundas is my favourite character.

[carapar114]

mine too!

[IFNEST]

Cool! We both like him and are sad when he dies!

[OsakaLover]

Don't think i've ever shot that fast...whats your total shot count for that save file? XD

[fadingshadow122]

lol wow it took me over two times as much time and multiple continues to beat him awsome job on the 4:17 victory!

[sasori323]

rundus looks cooler with his ped armor on then without it

[Smiffyers]

3:27 was the worst moment ever.

Rundas was the best.

[Hattakiri]

Yeah...only childish games on Nintendo's consoles...of course...*ironic*

[OsakaLover]

this isn't childish -_-

[weaverflytyer]

u callin this childish?

[SundarkSoldier]

Ah, some of the best video game music I've heard in a long time.

[vakama15]

Dark samus appeared in rundas! did anyone even notice that?

[JonneDaman]

Those creatures that ran...Are they Vho? Like Noxus in MPH?

[Mgauge]

They're mutated Space Pirates.

[JonneDaman]

Oh i see. Omg, i want this game so bad, but i don't have a Wii! Gotta buy one soon..

[KANELIVESINMYHOUSE]

lol they r pirates dude

[GuitarHero3Battles]

I just beat this guy. He was hard!

[blackyoshi1230]

I honestly thought Rundas was the best kick-ass hunter (The other two sucked). His music was also good.

[NintendoLover64]

the game is better in hyper difficulity

[Haziqonfire]

i loved this boss. I love this game.. 8.5 it is not! (Fuck gamespot..)

[crazystarf]

Fuck you Gamespot owns everything. Plus, gamespot is the main source for my game decisions anyway.

[JUANMEISTER]

i have to tell you something i was somewhat disappointed with corruption, primarily due to the fact that the bosses were extremely easy and i completed the game in about 20 hours and it took me 60 to complete the other prime games, i wasnt satisfied, do you guys agree?

[Rickypick]

i agree a little bit on veteran and Normal Rundas is at the same level thats disapointing me

[applejuicer5]

what difficulty did you do

[metroiman82]

what difficulty are you playing on?

[shadowtomb1]

to tell you the truth it does seem like a skilled battle cuz ive only played the second part and i SUCK but i went far.

[Svenssa]

I somehow beat him in 15 secs on hypermode difficulty.(power beam, grapple, hypermode, grapple, hypermode)

[ubermaster1]

me too for some odd reason ususally he would be an optionally unbeatable

[applejuicer5]

thats how I beat him

[Eastvillage91]

the bosses in corruption looks much easier than they are in the other games in the prime serie

[danthemanthemhfan]

just kept shooting him until he died...

[danthemanthemhfan]

lol when i did rundas he just paused against a wall and i just shot him from nearly full health and he died...it was glitched up lol

[xxsidrilxx]

looks like u dident need to pay back his favour

[and1kid23]

the end of this battle was sad i liked rundus he was cool and nice he saved samus so many times in the game and now you have to kill him that sucks balls

[biorevolver123765]

wow rundas looks awesome! hey is using the wii remote hard for metroid 3? i want to know! and also are you able to use a GC coontroller

[NSChozoLord]

@biorevolver123765: No, it's not hard at all.

It's really easy and smooth to use. :)

[IamCanadian3333]

This is what Red Steel should have been.

[LibraElite]

yh I think you can use cube contollers but I think only for cube games

[ObeliskWhite6307]

no cuz you can use them for Super Smash Bros Brawl when it comes out on Wii

[thebitingredead98]

one of my favourite boss battles is Rundas. He has my second favourite music. My favourite is Gandrayda

[deathzone10]

on hyper mode do not get hit by the iceberg when he is hyper mode

[Shard1697]

Man, I just LOVE this music.

[Shaff7]

the music is awesome!! i need this song hehe.. Rundas is so cool i love him ;O;, his the best, and this a great battle

[hamtaro844]

il miss rundas

he was the nicest one out of the three orther bounty's ='(

[Shard1697]

Man, I love this music.

[goldenentei]

BTW: Samus in the fusion suit?? :O WTF! Cant wait untill i get that

[NeoMatrix77777]

That isn't the Fusion Suit. It's the PED-enhanced Varia Suit.

[goldenentei]

I want Rundas on brawl... more then ridley... Hes the best!

[pokemonfan2200]

rundas saves samus's ass2 times, samus repays him by killing him, shoving an icicle up his ass and walking away with his ice missle becuz he got corrupted lol, rundas was a nice guy tho i liked him...

[ace93]

He's ez but time consuming

man i liked him.. saved samus's butt 3 times

[doublemm06]

and he had da worse death aswell i felt it 4 da poor hunter he still PWN!!! though

[doublemm06]

y did he av 2 die first he was my favourite hunter he was soo cool da way he jus use ice 2 pwn dem pirates and da way he spoke he jus seemed ruthless and they had 2 kill him off first he jus PWN!!!!!

[maccollo]

when Rundas pwned those pirates I thought "Yay, Rundas saves the day again and is über leet".Then he attacks me and I'm like "NOOOO, CAN'T BE TRUE!!!"

I hoped throughout the game that when I killed dark samus the hunters would be revived, uncourrupted, but no... Damn it!

[Spatan78]

that was pretty good for ur fisrt try at him nice one:D

[Aurilorder]

The hunters in MP3 are better and cooler as the hunters in hunters

[Shard1697]

The hunters in MP3 ARE better than the ones in hunters... That's a little ironic.

[ZxGameMaster]

the fastest way to kill rundas is: rip off his armor and shoot him in hypermode. when hes trying to get his armor back use a charge shot while in hypermode and u can rip out his armor again. repeat this and yull beat in at least 2 minutes

[sasugay753]

i beat rundas on the third try (i read a walkthough that helped to) but i beat ghor on first try without help (ghor didn't even take out 2 of my energy tanks).

[Nintendan95]

when i went agianst Rundas, i beat him 1st time. I didnt use hypermoder either! When I saw him try to freeze Samus, i thought 'nooo! why must i fight this dude! he's my fav hunter!' its sad HE had to be 1st...

[armr624]

sweet gameplay. I fought him the first time and he was to quick but I ended it fast by going to hypermode.

[shrint]

i hated killing rundas. he was so cool - if any of the hunters should have lived, it should have been him. although he wasn't as hard to beat as people had told me..

[metroidowns]

Hypermode is cool

[CubeDogg]

lol i sampled rundas's battle music to make a rap beat^v^

[Slyfox627]

You lock on too much

[confusedrat]

It took me forever to beat him. I kept blasting and blasting and it took me 15 minutes to realise that it wasn't doing anything. When his health was down to a few more of the really hyped shots i ran out of power and ended up beating him in an obsolete but pleasing fasion =)

[punkymunky47]

wow man u are awesome! lol it takes me longer well did u beat him on hypermode or what???

[sonicsbestfriend]

Damn, I beat Rundas, but not that fast. You are good!!! Keep up the good work, man! BTW, made me feel sad when Rundas gets killed. We didn't want you to die, Rundas!!!!

[MasterChief955]

The guy who voice acted Vegeta also voice acted Rundas.

[xvator]

holy crap. that took me forever to beat

[metroidowns]

somebody beat rundas like in 41 seconds. Type in Rundas or funny rundas

[brightshadow55]

pretty sad... I killed Rundas first-time on veteran mode with more health than you in the end with NO HYPERMODE

[ULTIMADONUT]

pretty sad... He doesn't care and people who brag don't deserve to talk >:(

[OgreBoy2531]

Oh my god, this boss is frustratingly hard and I keep dying. Any tips of killing this fucking boss?

[OgreBoy2531]

Never mind, I defeated this boss in four or more tries.

[HooHah13]

good for you. But if it took 4 tries to kill rudnas, you will be fucked on Mogenar.

[OgreBoy2531]

I have no problem fighting Mogenar.

[HooHah13]

I have a tip for people watching. use hypermode the first time his armor comes off. Shoot him like crazy and you will probably be able to kill him the second time his armor comes off.

[omgzimme]

how do you press A that fast?
