Bosses

all bosses of metroid dread have atleast 2 phases and are preluded by a "Boss door worm" which will act as a signal to Samus that she is about to encounter a boss.

Corpious

A large creature that uses stealth and its stinger to provide a intense start of Samus' boss battle journey, the boss has 3 major phases all with the goal of shooting one part or another with missiles (though you can shoot its stinger tail with wave beams) once defeated, Samus will obtain the invaluable "Phantom Cloak"

Kraid

Returning from previous titles, Kraid emmulates his old attacks once again, he is currently imprissoned and chained to the wall, the boss has 3 major phases, the goal of shooting either his mouth with missiles, or his infected belly hole with any fire before being brought up to face Kraid face to face Once Kraid is defeated, Samus will obtain the "Diffusion Beam"

Drogyga

the only water boss in the game Drogyga provides a challenge due to the water limiting Samus' movement in that point in game, shoot the tentacle up top and then shoot the buttons (using a spider pannel to go to the other side of drogyga) its second phase isnt all that different from the first phase just with better projectiles and a second melee move.

Escue

technically just a reskinned version of a standard enemy the Escue differentiates itself with its tracking energy attacks, its phases are fairly non impactful aswell just keep firing at it with your missiles and avoiding its ground AoE attack it can't be damaged while its covered in purple energy just wait it out. once defeated Escue gives you "storm missiles"

Expirement No. Z-57

A horrific creature that is disrupting the thermal systems on the planet, its so large you dont even get a chance to see its entire body. Expirement No. Z-57 is a imposing boss with 3 total phases, first mostly being avoiding a laser beam and the goo it leaves behind, swiping attacks that require space jump. Before eventually parrying up close, then you get to deal with it forcing you to space jump over energy waves lest you be smushed into the plasma covered walls, finally it will employ even more swiping attacks and a more aggresive use of its lazer beam.

Golzuna

technically just a reskinned version of a standard enemy, Golzuna differentiates itself from Escue with how it changes forms 3 times as its phase, its phases are fairly simple but a creative use of a already existing system. for its first face it tries to slowly hit you with its melee attack parry and blast it to begin phase 2, phase 2 you now can't parry it's attack but instead you have to slide under it to avoid its attack and begin firing at it, once this has been done several times you must fight phase 3. now it sends out volleys of explosives in varried paterns, you must space jump over and behind it forcing it to try to attack you again once you do this slide under and fire at will once again giving you space to attack like this. once defeated Golzuna you gain the "cross bomb"

Raven Beak

A massive step up compared to any of the other bosses mentioned previously being the only boss to have 4 distinct phases that change how he acts in his entirety

Phase one has Raven Beak mostly uses his talons for melee combat, to hit you hard and fast, a ice wave that keeps him still this is to force you close into his melee range (Which you have to dash out of and jump over) a heavy punch attack (you can parry this attack to allow you to rapid fire missiles or charge shots while Samus does the footwork) and a blackhole attack which must be destroyed with missiles. He will slowly gain a golden aura which makes him invincible and can only be forced out of it once he challenges you with him coaxing you over and two parry attacks

Phase two Raven Beak has taken to the air, and now has a whole new set of moves. First up is his BIG BLAST which fires a close range Laser down at you, its easy to avoid. Second is his GATLING LASER, where he uses a hailstorm of lasers to put Samus down, you have two options, one looks stupid and barely works, and the other looks cool and almost always works, the first way is to jump around Raven Beak as he shoots you. the other is to a dash melee attack before aiming, pushing you into a dramatic pose that also keeps you safe as Raven Beak shoots OVER Samus. Raven beak also has a stomp attack where he flies over Samus and tries to stomp her down, and finally his wonder wing where he tries to fly at you slamming into the wall (you duck to counter this.) during this phase you can fire at him rapidly with missiles and he gains no armor eventually he activates Phase 3

Phase three samus shot him down forcing him to the ground, he now fires a Massive Laser which you can avoid using space jump, he summons black holes again which you can shoot for health and missiles, and his big killer the "sun" where he puts a small sun up which fires waves of energy, you can user a POWER BOMB to destroy it aswell as output massive damage to Raven Beak. he once again also uses melee combat, which you can parry and punish, his ice wave also returns. Once you force him down with enough missiles you activate 2 parry attacks before a cutscene. once this cutscene is over you activate... Phase four

Phase Four

Shoot laser. Kill bird. Run to ship. Win game.
