Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Music- Quadraxis Battle

[EmperorZander]

Fighting Quadraxis was fun! :D

[MrThetruth1986]

gosh i fuckin HATED this boss smdh

[D3mO44]

Quadraxis: He used to stand on four legs, until he took a super missle to the knee............

four times

[Fiercedeity124]

Best boss in metroid prime 2.

[matguimond92]

*After Amorbis fight*

Samus:JESUS CHRIST a giant worm wonder if next boss is going to be a giant robot?

*After Chykka fight*

Samus:HOLY CRAP I almost died there....BUT ANOTHER INSECT??? C'MON....

*At Quadraxis*

Samus:Good lord.....I wish I was fighting bugs again......

[TheGreatBeni]

Fights Quadraxis,

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

[devonray75]

*Enters Ing hive temple*

Me: Oh......my.....fucking.....god­! I HAVE TO FIGHT THAT GIGANTIC THING?!? *Goes down the elevator, and takes a closer look*

Quadraxis: *Starts up and prepares to attack*

Me: OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

*Commence boss battle*

[shadyguy999]

I never actually thought this boss was too hard.

Now, fight this guy on hard mode. THEN he becomes a threat.

NOTHING for me could ever top the boost ball guardian. Took me MONTHS to beat that thing the first time.

[Kratos12429]

@shadyguy999 Boost ball guardian was ridiculous. I too was stuck on it for a long time. I thought I was the only one and that I was being completely incompetent about the boss XD.

[shadyguy999]

@Kratos12429 :D IM NOT ALONE IN THIS WORLD! xD

I actually figured out a strategy to make the fight easier.

Find 5 energy tanks, and when possible, spam him with the light beam.

When I finally beat him, it made all the other bosses way to easy.. xD

[FwamTom]

@shadyguy999

Ahh the Boost Guardian was a huge pain but I think the Spider Guardian was always the one I feared fighting the most, no matter how many times I've beaten the game.

[shadyguy999]

@FwamTom There was always a bit of tension for me when fighting him too. Took me a good hour when I was on the 3rd stage of the boss, mainly because my health was constantly dropping to dangerous levels and I kept screwing up the placement of when your supposed to activate the bomb slots.

When the wii version came around, he was completely laughable, due to the easier control scheme of the morph ball. xD

[BlueEyes274]

@FwamTom True. The Spider Guardian fight was more of a puzzle than an actual fight. You can't hurt it at all, except through alternative methods.

[SpiderBallGuardian]

@FwamTom Spider Ball Guardian > All

[TheInstinctsWithin]

When I 1st walked into the room, I was hoping I wouldn't have to fight it and then when I saw the Ing possessing it, I was like, "Oh, come on!" Lol.

[watchpr]

God damn Quadraxis hos got to be the most bad ass boss in any game. 

[OverlordLS]

You know, Quadraxis' head is the size of Samus's gunship.

Samus fought a gunship.

Samus has anti-ship weapons.

No WONDER she blows shit up effortlessly.

[Jetz72]

There has never been a cooler fucking name for a boss than "Quadraxis."

[XxOrochimaruX]

The first time I saw Quadraxis I was like "Oh..this is the guy whose power will cost me few retries..."

[Earthboundfan33]

*Ings Possess Quadraxis*

Me:FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUU!

*Hour's later*

*quadraxis's head detaches*

Me:**** this! *turns off the gamecube and realized i didn't save after getting all the keys* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! *goes to bed sad and dead inside*

[hoogomoogo]

First time I played this game, I walked into the room, saw the machine, and just stood there for a good minute or so, realizing that I had to fight this titanic.

[SoupwithSeafood]

snes9x

[matguimond92]

Samus:Huh weres Quadraxis???

Registeel:Hi I'm subbing for Quad on account of he has a head cold.

Samus:ummmmm ok so do we fi-Registeel:HYPER BEAM samus:FU-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OM!

[zxscd]

Shadow of the colossus my ass, Quadraxis is humongous!!!

[teyoru]

SNES9X

[Donut117]

this was a surprisingly easy battle. relatively speaking.

[Quadraxis]

@Donut117

You wanna rephrase that...?

[BioBark]

@Quadraxis Oh, hey Quadraxis. Sorry I kind of blew up your head.

[Donut117]

@Quadraxis oh wow rofl. i just now noticed your name. bravo.

[gameexpert385]

@Quadraxis Hey, sorry if i made you come off your legs

[supernintendoman97]

how many remember the time i listed all of those things that would make the quadraxis better? well i thoght of some new things: all affinity weapons(volt driver, battle hammer, magmaul, judicator, shock coil, and impirialist) and the ultamate weapon, which i will reveal soon enough

[supernintendoman97]

someone should try removing the tech sounds and increase the tempo.

[HALOHATER4LIFE]

if you listen closely, it sounds like someone is saying "yeah"

[InsomniacLegit]

light_aether.exe has encountered a problem and needs to trap you in a different dimension. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[190shepard]

Quadraxis is reaper of metroid verse

[EddieEddieEddie90]

This boss is so fun to defeat, and you can use the screw attack to destroy the antenna.

[matguimond92]

*after beating Quadraxis*

Samus:Huh?? Whats with the blue thing?

Metagross:Nooo Quadraxixs D': we were suppose to go fishing today...WHO DID THIS??

[CoalitionOfGearsGOW]

@matguimond92 YOU NEED MOAR THUMB UPS.

[handsomebrick]

why do I keep hearing the Sub-Zero ice shooting sound

[BioBark]

*Takes out the legs*

:D

*Head Detaches*

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Reaperonatricycle]

@BioBark even worse, the head has two phases -_-"

not gonna lie though, this was an epic and badass fight and even though the annihilator beam kind of breaks the game combat-wise, I felt like I deserved it.

[Metroidman389]

I remember when I first opened the door to the Dark Sanctuary room with Quadraxis. I knew the second the door opened that it would be the boss...and I had to talk myself into going in at first...and even though I knew the game was going to make me fight it, it still couldn't keep me from pissing myself when it started moving and that Camera perspective made me feel so tiny compared to him D:

[BaRRicade120]

Brain.exe has stopped working.

[CB0Otz]

I really like the clanking in the music. It needs to be in more games that have these kind of robotic bosses or like big badass bosses that use maybe like chains that make that noise.

[190shepard]

Quadraxis is reaper of metroid verse maybe like Sovereign

[STHbiggestfan]

Samus: Why didn't I take that job at Burger King?.......

[Arkaen]

This is the sort of music that sends the meek straight to GameFAQs.

[SuperCrazyCartoonist]

I say the Gamecube is better. Here's why:

I got my Gamecube in 2004. I got my Wii in 2007. The Wii broke down after about 3 years. My Gamecube has not had ANY errors with its discs. It works as if it were new.

[r1pp1nl1mbz]

@SuperCrazyCartoonist

same bro, i got my gamecube in 2001, it still runs Melee fine.However I got an xbox in 2002, had to get a second. In 2007 gotta a 360, its 2011 this is my fourth 360. o.0

[Nintendorulez50567]

Mother of gawd...



[supernintendoman97]

this boss battle is just like the thardus: hard, but fun

[TheAwsomesauce69]

*Walks into room*

*sees huge robot....thing*

"How the fuck am i supposed to kill THAT?"

[Blacaca180]

@TheAwsomesauce69 "F***! STOP THE ELEVATOR, STOP THE ELEVATOOOOOOR!"

[foo176]

@TheAwsomesauce69 ya seriosly

[STHbiggestfan]

I think Chuck Norris just committed suicide

[Chaos1091]

You've gotta admit his name is epic.

[TheMetroidKing]

Must download

[bolch88bb8]

i think i am going to buy a wii just to play the metroid series again...deffo in my top ten of all time.

[Edecreed]

@bolch88bb8 A WII?

Fuck that get a GameCube

[dividebyzero100]

@Edecreed A Wii would be better. Why?

METROID PRIME TRILOGY. Play ALL the Primes.

[Kazumakiri]

@dividebyzero100 I'd rather play the original 3. Why? The difficulty in Trilogy is nerfed. You can literally rape ANY boss, including Quaddy.

[SuperCrazyCartoonist]

@Edecreed

I hear you, man! The Wii SUCKS, but the Gamecube is awesome!

[MetroidLover64]

@SuperCrazyCartoonist the wii is awesome cause the wii has metroid prime trilogy bitch.

[av3nger3]

@SuperCrazyCartoonist

I get lags playing Prime 1 on the wii sometimes.

[MetroidLover64]

@Edecreed fuck gamecube.



[Chick8ed]

@MetroidLover64 Lolnou

[LSSTyranus]

the ing should've sent quadraxis in first to fight samus if they wanted to live.

[Nintendorulez50567]

I'm SO suprised it took me only 1 try to beat quadraxis!

[Meteorsmash14]

@Nintendorulez50567 same here

[Nintendorulez50567]

Entering Dark Agon temple: Whats the fight gonna be?

Entering Dark torvus temple: Ha! That wasn't too hard. *Mother emerges* *Facepalm* I shouldn't of jinxed it...

Entering dark sanctuary temple: *Sees quadraxis* "I think I see what it will be, and this doesn't look good...

[HYDESDM]

@Nintendorulez50567 quadraxis: is not only made of guns, but also stoppng bullets...actually it's made of stopping anything that isn't Samus.

[ScarisClaudius]

Samus: (Peter Griffin style) Hey Dark Sammy, I bet you are a lesbian.

Dark Samus: Yeah, how so?

Samus: Cos you, a female, came from one gigantic sentient female planet. Man, Phazon is one fucked up species.

Dark Samus: You sayin' I'm in love with my homeworld bitch? Take that! (Blasts Shrapnel)

Samus: You won't be straight long after you see this... (Samus undresses)

Dark Samus: See what? (Falls out Eerie Elevator due to massive orgasms)

[hungryhungrymetroid]

@ScarisClaudius That would technically mean that Samus would be having sex with a metroid.

[um80able]

Samus:Oh shit that thing is big....Go pikachu!!!

Pikachu:kk what you want me to do thi-HOLY MOTHER FUCK THAT THING IS BIG!

Samus:Use Skull Bash!

Pikachu:I fucking hate you samus >:[

[linkronny]

@um80able *then snake appears out of nowhere*

letme handle this lady,

METAL GEEEEEAR!

*samus and pikachu's expresion:* ._.

[Kijion]

@um80able SAMUS:I chose you HO-HO

HO-HO: HAHA IMMA BIRD YOU CANT...

quaddraxis blasts hoho out the sky...

SAMUS: O_O damn turn base system

[TheAndroid456]

@um80able I've always wondered why the Pokemon don't just kill or abandon their masters for enslaving them in tiny uncomfortable balls.

[LSSTyranus]

(entering) Dark agon temple: "so i have to fight worms? too easy!"

(entering)Dark torvus temple: "great now i have to fight a giant bug. this will be annoying."

(entering)Dark hive temple: "F*********************CK! I AM SCREWED!"

took me 50 tries to beat Quadraxis. no joke.

[idiotscampaigninc]

the thing is, people don't get how overpowered Quadraxis is.

his main weapon is a Matter/Antimatter Anihillation cannon.

2 grams of Matter/Antimatter Anihilation corresponds to about double that of 20 Kilotonnes of TNT (in other words double the power of the Hiroshima Bomb)

and Quadraxis can rapid fire that shit

and charge it to make it even more powerfull.

(tl;dr: one of Quadraxis' shots is twice as powerfull as a nuclear bomb)

[TronPachioftheDynamo]

@idiotscampaigninc Holy phuq... O.o I never even thought of that. That means Samus is more broken than Meta Knight!

[idiotscampaigninc]

@TronPachioftheDynamo

Samus is even worse!

she grew up on Zebes

the Planet Zebes has a gravitational pull of 865.5G

for comparisons sake the Sun only has a Gravitational pull of 25G.

Theoretically if Samus was on Earth she could leap out of the atmosphere and cause minor earthquakes by punching the ground!

not only that but she has Weaponry that messes up physics such as the Ice Beam and Sonic Boom (which causes the walls of reality to look like a glass spider web!)

[TheAsllaPiscu]

@idiotscampaigninc i have a short question: where do you have the zebes data from? A Gravitational pull of 865G would mean that Samus isn't broken. It would mean that... sorry, there are no words to describe this^^

And that thing with the strength of Quadraxis Annihilator Cannon is logical, too. But there is one problem: If the Metroid physics are equal with our physics, there is no way this matter/antimatter package could pass the dark aether without reacting with other matter/antimatter.

[idiotscampaigninc]

@TheAsllaPiscu

the Zebes data is obtained from the Observatory room in Metroid prime, we can do calculations to find Gravitational pull from the Statistics there. it is one of Retro Studio's little known Physics fails.

also to adress the Annihilator beam, we should assume that the physics of the Metroid Universe work the same way as ours however we should not assume that the more Enlightened races (Chozo, Lunimoth ect) don't have a better understanding of how it works.

i hate youtube limit

[TheAsllaPiscu]

@idiotscampaigninc ah so you mean this room... i scanned the planets there, but i didn't made the effort to calculate the Gravitational pull.

This is a good point. I think you are right, the Luminoth should have a better understanding of physics than we have.

I hate youtube limit, too^^ It forced me to shorten my last message.

In the end i want to apologize for my poor english, because i am from germany.

[idiotscampaigninc]

@TheAsllaPiscu

no worries dude, the English was fine, in fact you have better grammar than half the English speaking people here on Youtube.

one problem we find when looking at Metroid Canon is just how powerful it actually is. if you care to look up the Volt Driver you'll find that it's a Multi-Terrawatt weapon.

i forget the exact ammounts but one shot from a Metroid handheld weapon has enough energy to power the entire world for 3 months.

[TheAsllaPiscu]

@idiotscampaigninc thank you.

This is insane. If one shot provides enough energy to power the world for 3 months, than whats up with the native species on the planets that Samus visits?

They survive between 2 and 4 shots of this weapons. So that means they survive an energy package which could provide earth for 6 to 12 months... This is insane!

[idiotscampaigninc]

@TheAsllaPiscu

that i have a feeling is Game Mechanics as it would be a rather crap game if you could 1 shot everything.

however if it isn't game mechanics then a War Wasp could take out an entire army by modern day standards.

mind you we do use ballistic weapons and they might prove more effective.

but if one Space Pirate were to attack we can kiss our planet goodbye as their Terrawatt Tanking armour is canon!

[peterperlot1]

@TheAsllaPiscu Ich spreche keine Deutsch! =D

[Xorcrupt]

@idiotscampaigninc Wait, really? Holy shit rofl. Yeah, I could see that. Matter and Antimatter is supposed to super powerful... XD And the fact that Samus can casually tank these attacks says something. I guess it helps that I think Samus' power bombs are supposed to be as strong as Tactical nukes. But yeah, for obvious gameplay reasons, Power Bombs and Quadraxis' Matter/Antimatter attacks don't blow everything up. :P

[xxsomeperson88xx]

Its's the B.F.R

[Blacaca180]

(entering) Dark Agon Temple: "Yup, probably gonna have to fight whatever's in that sphere down there...or the sphere. Oh look, ground-based monsters; no problem, seen worse..."

(entering) Dark Torvus Temple: "Obviously something suspicious in that cocoon majig." *defeats chykka larva*

"Haha, YEAH!"

*adult chykka emerges*

"...Mother of gawd..."

(entering) Dark Sanctuary Temple:

"FFFFFFFUUUUUUUU--!!!"

[supernintendoman97]

@Blacaca180 it's the ing hive temple

[HYDESDM]

@Blacaca180 i actually had little difficulty taking on the chykka. quadraxis, on the other hand, was near-death. but i beat him on my first try. imagine it was quadraxis instead of scarabs in halo?....my mind is blown.

[RoboRobotnik]

you never have to touch the poison water or gasses until you get the light suit. There is one point where you have to touch the gas, but it can be navigated quickly enough to survive.

[INMATE2468]

When the booggy man goes to sleep he checks his closet for chuck Norris, when chuck Norris goes to sleep he checks his closet for quadraxis.

[alariooo]

@INMATE2468 That's one MASSIVE closet....

[wanderingrandomer]

It doesn't sound right without that creaking noise Quadraxis makes when he jumps.

[RoboRobotnik]

Heh, the fun way to fight Quadraxis is to do it without the dark suit. Not impossible, I've beaten the game without it at least twice.

[supernintendoman97]

@RoboRobotnik DID YOU HACK??!!

[RoboRobotnik]

@supernintendoman97 Absolutely not. Hackers are cheaters. Fighting Amorbis (which requires you to pick up the darksuit) is not necessary. Once you get all the items, just leave and head for Torvus Bog. It's a different kind of difficulty. The boost guardian is especially hard, but doable.

[supernintendoman97]

@RoboRobotnik i find it hard to belive that you got through that poisin water and gas without dying

[KillZoner5]

@supernintendoman97 It's by all means possible, but from what I understand, it involves exploiting an imperfection in the game's physics engine.

[ScarisClaudius]

@RoboRobotnik Imagine if there was some sort of hack where you could get the Light Suit before fighting Boostie; now he'd be toast

[RoboRobotnik]

@ScarisClaudius but then the game would be too easy!

[foo176]

it took me hours to beat this guy the first time b4 i realized wat to do i never died but i was stupid wen i was 10

[QuadroPhazon]

QUADRAXIS FOR EVER !!!! :p It's the BEST boss i've ever killed I'm made about him !!!!!! (QuadroPhazon<Quadraxis + Phazon)

[supernintendoman97]

this dude is like the thardus:takes a while to kill him, but its a fun battle

[PhazonDarkSamus]

Holy crap. I never knew the boss music for this fight was so epic. I was concentrating so hard on fighting quadraxis that I never noticed the awesome music. This guy can be a bit difficult on hard mode when you fight him the proper, honorable way. Or you can be a cheap Mo-Fo like me and power bomb his legs all at once. Lol.

[WhiteFangofWar]

When you defeat it, Samus makes sure to do a sweet action pose as she lands and the head module crashes, which she never did for any other boss, even Ridley.

Even she knows that Quadraxis is awesome.

[EozOrange]

Aw god, Quadraxis was so hard to beat! I need to fight it again!

[Slapperfish]

The URL is shedding a tear because it simply cannot handle the epicness of this music. Q_O

[HYDESDM]

@Slapperfish lol, oh so true

[P10NE3R1111]

I have very vivid memories of this boss...

I was home sick for a week, and most of that time was spent facing this guy.

Needless to say, Quadraxis is not easy when your motor skills are impaired.

But I loved the music, so I didn't care as much when I died and had to face him again.

[44dman44]

Best. Boss. Battle. Ever. 

[Dominatr15]

Quadraxis and Ing Emperor were awesomely hard! (except for boost guardian, he was just being an anus.

[uberkewlmedia]

This is like PORN for tech-nerds!

[linkwindwaker25]

Il love sound for quadraxis :D

[zoroxma]

quadraxis > C. Falcon

enough said

[uberkewlmedia]

Anything hi-techy; I love. I pretty much filled up my pants at 1:18.

[Deidoouu]

This guy was a complete pain in the ass... I believe nothing else in the game managed to damage me as much as Quadraxis. But it was the most awesome battle ever.

[lyndi26]

I have always loved metroid prime's soundtracks (1,2,3) because they always include pieces of older songs in them that make the newer song better for it. You can hear the little whining from the chozo ruins theme starting at 1:00 and you can also hear part of the parasite queen's theme just at 1:18. An amazingly simplistic beat with the addition of the pieces from the first game really boost this theme for Quadraxis.

[lllllllll67]

I miss metroid prime 2 echoes, I beat the game about 13 times and 5 on hard, I Love u METROID PRIME 2 ECHOES

[SilenceSinistrum93]

I love that battle.

And the Theme is fenomenal.

Thanks for sharing.

[VioletBandicoot]

Once i muted the final boss of Donkey Kong Country Returns and blasted this instead.

... ... ...

IT WAS THE MOST EPIC THING EVER!!!

[Archimonde259]

If there is a God of Machines, this is probably his theme.

[MrJellyjiggler]

the second you look through that door you know you are in for a serious battle, but once you see that thing start moving its almost jaw-dropping. and this theme is so awesome too. its like...the god of machines

[ThePatchway]

Haha that room, I knew something bad was gonna happen when something so big is just sleeping in there. When i got down by the elevator I tried to go along the walls to not trigger it... suddenly I was like "Oh crap".

[mrliberty20]

I played this when i was a kid... And when i saw this thing...

I fucking SCREAMED and turned off the gamecube.

[Tezcatlepocatl]

Too bad you have to beat the Spider Guardian to get to this guy.

That battle was pretty much impossible. (In the original version, at least)

[Hyroyan98]

Chuck Norris wanted a theme, so he Hired Retro Studio. Then he realized, he didn't need one, so he gave their music to the Quadraxis

[OrangeGingerSpice]

I dont know why but I find the robotic sounds at 00:04 - 00:16 sexy

[Y05H1ROX]

@OrangeGingerSpice because the amount of bass shoved into this magical sound just makes ones ears cum

[UnrealMan24]

When I got here, I thought "I guess I'm gonna have to spider ball up that building, bomb to get inside, and take the prize." Then, it woke up, and I thought "Well, this looks hard. You must get Annihilator Beam from it."

[tommicinejohnson]

CERTIFIED METROID MUSIC INFECTED

[hungryhungrymetroid]

Metagross's cousin.

[StarForceKid194]

@hungryhungrymetroid

I been looking for a nickname for my Metagross lmaoo thank for sparking that idea now lmao

[HylianChozo]

@StarForceKid194 Hey, I named my Rayquaza Flaaghra so anything's possible! :D

[supernintendoman97]

@HylianChozo the names of bosses in metroid prime have big impacts on our lives

[Birthnote]

@hungryhungrymetroid More like its ancestor XD

[hungryhungrymetroid]

@Birthnote possibly

[WralthAndFloritz]

@hungryhungrymetroid Just with some more ATK than Metagross

[TheUltimateZeal0t]

@hungryhungrymetroid and the inspiration of the scarab in halo 2 for some reason

[Nintendorulez50567]

@hungryhungrymetroid Metagross's big brother, not cousin

[HYDESDM]

@Nintendorulez50567 the 12 dislikes were the ing that possesed him, and one of the lieks was quadraxiz himself.

[tommicinejohnson]

dis beat is so metroid mean ILLEST

[KittyDestroyer555]

is it ok if i make an imaginational empire based off of mechs and having this quadraxis being my inspiration?

[EasterGhost]

@KittyDestroyer555 That's the power of imagination, bud. It's what great games like Metroid help to catalyze.

[KittyDestroyer555]

@EasterGhost well what if i told u i took it all to the next level? im currently in the process of bringing it all to life..

[samusmex]

those muthafuckas dark androids, i forgot to scan them the first time ;_;

[KDeman01]

Quadraxis is the  absolute greatest boss in Echos. I had a save file on my Gamecube (later Wii) JUST for facing him.

[FissionMetroid101]

@KDeman01 I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who did that.

[evilanimemonkey]

Jesus

I love Quadraxis. He's my favorite boss of all time. I love the phases it goes through, it takes a long time to kill, it's always a nice challenge, and the atmosphere is great. But the the annihilator beam is anticlimactic .__.

[FaKeDYoo]

this is probably one oof the hardest bosses iv'e ever fought besides General RAAM from Gears, reason being is that in the end i killed it but i died from the hp drainage

[EmperorIng77]

Best Metroid boss hands down. Even better than Ridley imo.

[mackroh]

Technology has never been more badAss!!

[LargeFG7777]

Anyone else saw the URL O_O-ing to this?

[jstudios98]

@LargeFG7777 It knows of the awesomeness.

[Reaperonatricycle]

@LargeFG7777 I saw the URL Q_O-ing to this. I guess its the SO MUCH WIN face.

[yahtzeeman12]

@LargeFG7777 Q_O

[hybrinoid]

@LargeFG7777 I saw a Q_O

[LargeFG7777]

@hybrinoid I am not the Detailing Type here....

[hybrinoid]

@LargeFG7777 FINE. GAWD.

[dividebyzero100]

@LargeFG7777 Moar like Q_O. It shed a single tear due to the epicness of the song.
