Metroid Prime 2 (Wii) - Chykka Boss Fight (Hypermode)

Game : Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Version : Wii (Trilogy)
Level : Hypermode (Hard)
Boss : Chykka
Difficulty : Medium to Hard

The Chykka is one of those rare bosses you fight in the Zelda fashion way. You deal with a first form being some sort of larva and the last is a giant dragonfly.

The Chykka Larva is very simple but not exactly easy. You must ALWAYS scan the beast so you can acquire a new auto-target so you'll shoot its belly. Its basic move is simply swimming. You can shoot it with your Beam but it can repel your hit so you must do some precise shots. Some dark creatures will spawn and you'll just need to a single missile to destroy one. The other may be destroyed next because the Missile impact. The next attack is dangerous and you must watch on your radar. It'll jump out from the dark water and plunge back in. It'll throw a dark sphere at you while it jumps out and when it touches the water, a wave will appear so you've to dodge both attacks. If you can land a Super Missile while it jumps, it's great.

The last move will be annoying. It'll jump out and like a walrus, it'll make the platform a little unstable. It'll try to pull you in the water with its tongue so switch to your Light Beam and shoot it. Make sure you're quick enough so you'll be able to score few hits while it dives back into the water.

Its next form is the giant dragonfly. It's the most annoying form you'll face and things are getting tough. You'll have to score lot of hits while dodging its beam attacks. If it flies at you, you can change platform thanks to several Grapple Points. While it flies around without attacking, try to shoot it as much as you can with the Dark Beam because it's the Light-form. Once stunned, go behind the Chykka and shoot a Super Missile on the red points so you can damage its wings. Once you've done it on the four wings, the Chykka will fall into the water. Don't forget to dodge the wave like you did in the Larva phase.

The Chykka will come back as a Dark entity. It's the easiest part but it's still dangerous. It'll fly slowly and be vulnerable to your Light Beam. Sometimes, it will launch some Baby Chykkas that you can shoot to recover ammunitions and energy. It'll also use the same than its Light-form but differently. You'll have to jump from Grapple Points many times so you can keep it out from attacking. During the very last phase, the platforms can submerge so you'll have to stay on a Grapple Point until they resurface.

It's a very long fight but if you've enough Light and Dark Ammos, you won't have any trouble. Once you're done with the dragonfly, you'll get the Dark Visor that helps you to see interdimensionally between Aether and Dark Aether. It works like the X-Ray or Thermal Visor from Metroid Prime.
