The fact that the first cutscene with Raven Beak is the tutorial for how to beat him is amazing, it definitely rewards a player who pays attention to that kinds stuff
I'm amazed that you've been able to make so many parts out of this, you should condense them all into 1 video that's like "100 cool details in Metroid Dread"
I agree
It’d be a great video and the fact that it’s continued so long speaks to how wonderfully detailed this game is, and how good at exploring and observing this channel is
Long videos are all the rage with the algorithm right now too
Gotta say that the best part of replaying Metroid dread is seeing the background animations for creatures and environment interactions that I didn't notice first play through.
I love how you can see the Phantom Cloak monster hunting in the background leading up to the bossfight- I noticed it a few times in my first playthrough, but I see it even more in the second!
Facts
Okay it's actually insane that the ledge attack exists
at 6:36, this actually applies to all bosses except raven beak and experiment Z-57, this is because while normal enemies are programmed to instantly die from a speed boost/shine spark, bosses are programmed to lose exactly 50% of their max health, which is why two shinesparks are required to kill a normal boss. Ravenbeak is immune to shine sparking presumably because his armour (which also contains the speed booster) is designed to counter it, and experiment Z-57 has a secret instant kill cutscene when shinesparked on.
So a bit of the gold Chozo Soldier being visible after it has jumped behind the building is likely because once it is out of sight it simply has no further animations assigned to it at that point and is locked in place until Samus leaves the room and it unloads from memory.
There is a Giant Chozo Mech being built in Cataris. It is located in the bottom right corner of the E.M.M.I. zone. It also resembles Raven Beak with it having one arm cannon on its right side, and a hand with claws on its left side. It also looks like it might have wings protruding out of it's back.
Well yeah its a chozo robot
Aaaaand in Samus Returns you can see the exact same Chozo being built! I don't remember exactly in which area though.
@@rossdurden I hope we get to fight it one day. Even though the chozo plot line is finished for now, maybe it could be some "lost tribe" found on another planet.
@@DeltaOdyssey It's not entirely finished. At least two X imitating the two chozo soldiers escaped ZDR before it was destroyed.
Loving this series, it's absolute testament to the attention to detail MercurySteam poured into this game. I'll keep watching them as long as you keep making them!
One detail that I noticed is that after the fight with Experiment Z-57 it turns out that he was in Dairon before and it shows that after the fight if you go back to Dairon he disappears implying that he was infected by parasite X
4:27 I love how you can also see how the lines in how samus's dominant arm is getting Thoha genes while her heart gets mawkin genes specifically from raven beak's dominant arm. They even add a lil percent completion bar besides them
Spoiler Tag Warning:
I'm gonna talk about the Thoha and Mawkin DNA in Samus.
There are two famous tribes in the Chozo tribe/culture, including Thoha and Mawkin.
Thoha are more peaceful while Mawkin tend to be warriors. There's a difference in their appearance as you can see.
The Mawkin DNA was donated to her by Raven Beak, while the Thoha DNA was donated by another elderly Chozo Thoha as we see illustrations of her being with scholarly/scientist Thoha in her younger years after they took her in.
Thanks to the Mawkin DNA, this enabled her to perform great feats in combat and acrobat, and great agility.
Thanks to the Thoha DNA, this is potentially a reason why the Baby Metroid did not attack her, as Thoha Chozo supposedly 'have the power' or a trait that allows them to 'control' the Metroids at their larval stage. Something about Thoha's seem to put Metroids at ease, while Mawkins and Metroids do not interact peacefully with each other, and can trigger survival or combat instincts in each other.
The Mawkin Raven Beak triggered dread and fear into Samus, and consequently the Metroid DNA within her, causing her to react with her Metroid side awakening.
Something that I speculated is that Raven Beak posseses Aieon abilities like those found one SR388: A barrage of energy beams/missles, A shield which absorbs energy (and damages opponents who touch it) and a phase shift (maybe for the long dash attacks). It may be a stretch but I found it interesting
I guess it's the end of this video series. Awesome work
So does Raven Beak X; you can hear the abomination saying "TAMUS... HADAR SEN OLMEN" if you listen carefully. I think the X are just repeating what their hosts said most recently, processing their memories but unable to properly understand language.
What makes you think it's the end? I bet there's still more content in this game
Which makes no sense. Quiet Robe died, and the X absorbed his body and mimicked him. It's not really him.
I don't know if it was listed in a previous video, but the first time you go into Dairon (to get the Varia suit iirc), there is one room with an EMMI door in the middle left, a recharge statue above it, and in the upper right of this room, there is a giant metallic door in the background, and when you get close, you can hear 2 or 3 loud bangs that come from the other side of this giant door, and whoever produced the bangs, left a couple of big marks on it.
Im going to start a new game now just so I can hear those banging sounds 😄
Yeah, these are easy to notice on the very first playthrough.
You go to Dairon after getting the Varia suit normally, because iirc you get the bombs there and you need the varia suit to either kill kraid normally or to sequence break in Dairon to get the bombs. You also go there initially to do some of Burenia, but only is you got the diffusion beam
Forgot, but the very first time you go there is for the wide beam
W I D E
I just made a comment about those crashes...
On #2, I'm pretty sure that is Experiment no. Z-57 in Dairon. As once you release the X parasites, that creature is gone.
I believe Looygi is still refering to the larvae, saying it may be related to Experiment.
1:46 I'm fairly sure that IS Experiment Z-57. You can see that specimen in Chozo Archive 03, where Quiet Robe (probably under Raven Beak's orders) is keeping it in a tank where it's posing much more like the X parasite version you fight later.
As a Metroid fan, you are very much appreciated. I just enjoyed the game and didn't know if I could think about it again like this.
Here's something I've noticed that I haven't seen anyone mention: at the top of Hanubia (next to the hyper beam door), there is an elevator door with a shaft that leads down to Artaria. If you follow the shaft, you will notice that it is visible in Dairon as well. I am 100% sure that this is the same elevator that Samus takes before the game starts.
The Mawkin symbol is literally Raven Beak's face. Check out the depiction of Raven Beak in the mural, his face and head-dress hat thing is a nearly 1 to 1 match with most of the Mawkin symbol. The blue "cape" of the Mawkin symbol is from the blue cape he wore in the mural.
Old Bird & Gray Voice (the two chozo who raised Samus) are rumored to be the shadowy figures to the right of Samus, during the flashback when Samus is in the glass tube.
That moment when Metroid has become your life:
Now I wonder of the GF ship is gone during the escape sequence just like the Chozo ones... Also, during the scene with the Golden Chozo jumping on those very ships we can see that they can hold maximum one person (like the Zebesian ships), so whoever escaped was probably alone or two/three max. Of course if they were Xs then the number isn't significant.
Its more likely the ships were utterly decimated after itorash crashed into hanubia, considering the damage everywhere and that it causes the planet to explode its highly likely thats the case. Also even if few x escaped they reproduce asexually so they can always increase in number
It's also possible that the ships simply crashed into the ground during the escape sequence. The entire fucking planet was exploding after all, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that the massive tremors produced by the explosions caused whatever systems were holding the ships in place to fail.
So you're telling us the game basically showed us how to beat Raven Beak right at the beginning? That's such an awesome detail!
Samus grabs onto a ledge.
Yampas immediately: "That's my ledge, bitch!"
Regarding shinesparking the robot, I believe that the convention for shinesparking a boss is that the attack allways takes exactly half the health of the boss. So technically every boss can be defeated with two shinesparks, but there is just not enough room in every arena to do so.
That and a lot of bosses have cutscenes that cancel your Shinespark
Wait does that mean you can kill raven beak with two shinesparks??
@@Smallmesa No he is one boss that is immune to shinesparks, you just bounce
@@diegog1853 oof
I experienced the last fact just a day before I saw this video lol. The horror and shock on my face when I got hit off the ledge was unparalleled lmao
A cool detail I noticed is that when you kill Fings in Ghavoran after the X are released, the small X they leave behind are the same X Parasite sprites used in Fusion. The sprites I'm referring to can be seen in the prologue of Fusion and a few times during Adam/Navigation Room conversations such as once Samus arrives in Sector 6 to get Varia Suit, Adam pulls up an X sprite in the top right of the screen that's blue since these X adapted to the cold.
wondered if anyone else noticed RB's attacks in the intro; the game literally shows you how to fight the final boss before you even take control of the main character
I don't know why, but that last one hits me more like an insult than an attack
Wow. I wasn't expecting that detail about the Federation ship docked in Hanubia! You have a good eye.
The amount of times I could have made a fight easier by shinesparking is incredible. Some of those Chozo soldier moments gave me quite the jump.
i love how you basically get to actually play the round 2 vs the guy who fucked you up as you arrive, and its a 100% non nerfed 1v1
raven literally does everything he did to you and more
its rly good
it would be even better if was the starting boss shortly after the game starts, and it would teach you about stuff like melee counters and sliding and whatnot, that would make the rematch more hype, and the first fight more memorable.
You know Dread story is a retcon when Samus has the "Zero suit" inside the modification vault when it didn't even exist in the main timeline.
Or, it's going along with the rebooted story that was started by Zero Mission, same as Samus Returns (and pretty much every Metroid game (other than Other M) that came out after ZM)
Other M is canon... Unfortunately. it's in the completion art at the end of the game
Since it got brought up in this video, for anyone wondering about the Thoha DNA donor for Samus, he was Grey Voice, as we can see in the canonical two-volumes Metroid prequel manga.
We can actually see his silhouette in the same flashback in the back, alongside Old Bird's silhouette, another important Chozo from the manga who also appeared in Zero Mission.
Another reference to the manga is also present in the same flashback with the cloths wore by the Thoha scientists which resemble those seen in the manga with the Zebes Chozos.
And of course the whole "Samus got infused with Chozo DNA" is also a thing that was previously only mentioned in the manga.
Wrong, Samus getting Chozo DNA is from the Super Metroid comic that ran in Nintendo Power from February to June 1994. In fact the manga uses the comic as the foundation for much of its plot (at least in Volume 1).
@@AICW Wait, I thought the manga was made for Metroid 1, as in it predates Super Metroid. Is that wrong?
@@umyum3858 Very wrong. The manga was published from late 2002 to 2003 in a now-defunct seinen magazine. It was made to be a tie-in to Metroid Zero Mission which came out in 2004.
The 1994 Super Metroid comic is the origin for 90% of Samus's backstory. It created the plot points of Samus being the lone orphan survivor of a Pirate attack on Earth colony K-2L, her rescue by Old Bird and him taking her to Zebes where she gets a Chozo blood transplant to survive on the planet, and then her being gifted the Power Suit and trained as a warrior. It also introduced the idea of Samus's mental focus being necessary to maintain the suit's strength (so to many people's shock, it was an American comic that came up with this idea, not Other M).
The comic also created the characters of Chairman Keaton and Chief Hardy, who were later imported into the manga. There was also another character named Armstrong Houston who fancied himself a "rival" bounty hunter to Samus and used a cheap knockoff blue Power Suit; it is suspected that the character of Anthony Higgs in Other M was meant as a replacement for Houston.
The manga only created two plot points that have since been canonized: it established that Ridley murdered Samus's mother in front of her (the comic just said her parents died in a Space Pirate bombing raid), and it revealed that Mother Brain was a Chozo biological supercomputer who played a pivotal role in raising Samus as a child. Essentially the manga made Ridley and Mother Brain have a very personal history with Samus.
@@AICW
I was talking about canon material. The manga is considered canon while the comic is not, despite the influence. The DNA infusion wasn't mentioned in any game prior to Dread to my knowledge.
The fact that those two Chozo ships are gone later in the game implies that *something* took them. Don't know about the Galactic Federation ship.
Also, "corporation". Are we entering the Weyland-Yutani arc of Metroid, then?
I am really curious about Exelion company because we don't know if Raven Beak modified EMMIs to be invulnerable to Samus Weapons or maybe...these were designed by Exelion all this time. I hope se have a Metroid 6 un sometime(5 years I think).
RB is so careful about making sure the X don’t escape the planet that he has a dead mans switch which blows the entire planet up, I would find it beyond shocking that he doesn’t account for ships in a shipyard
@@wonderguardstalker Maybe the ships are gone because they're the first thing that got the auto-destruction order, rather than being able to fly away.
@@Y2GTeranDelgado The opening cutscene says that the EMMI are "made of the strongest stuff in the universe" so presumably they were designed that way. Why DNA extraction robots would need such strong armor is kind of a mystery though. I guess Samus can be damaged by a bunch of organic enemies, so they just need it for consistent operation.
C'mon, man! I told my wife the 17th time would be the last for a while...now I have to go through the game AGAIN.
Forget Next level games showing attention to detail, Mercury Steam took it to a whole new level!
Don't know it you noticed but kraid leaves a spice stuck on the wall after he dies and its permanently there. However when the x are free the spike vanishes. This is how they infected him.
Also kraid x has fins on his arms and tiny hands under his jaw. These all come from the draygon corpse in dairon
This is probably the most detailed game I've ever played
Have you seen the elevator where it arrives Samus to Artaria? This elevator seen in Dairon, in e.m.m.i zone in Artaria and Ferenia
Question. In Dairon, it felt like several times there would be something that crashes into the wall in the background. It makes a dent into the rooms Samus is in. Is that ever explained?
That scared me the first time too! Never figured out what it was
Yeah those bangs on the wall that leave dents behind. I want to know so bad xD I haven't found an explanation yet
The only thing I can Think of is like, the Robot Chozo Soldiers. We don't see any Chozo wandering around prior to the X outbreak, so I doubt it'd be one that was just trapped or such. Shouldn't be Raven Beak either since he'd make a B-line straight to Itorash so he can keep tabs on Samus and do the whole "ADAM" shtick
So that leaves me with either the wildlife - which I doubt
Some random experiments - ?????
Or freshly finished up Robot soldiers that try to attack Samus as they sense her, but can't make it through the wall and either malfunction or understand that they're not making it through the wall, OR Raven Beak shuts them off remotely (like 'now is not the time, you'll come into play Later')
But these are purely guesses and speculation. I'd love to know if someone has a better answer or actual facts, that'd be cool~
2:27
maybe those are the pilots of the two Chozo ships you mentioned in an earlier video, and likely (the golden one is most likely) the ones we fight later on
Well the Yampa and GF ship are good. I would’ve liked to see way more models
Ooh... Grey Voice and Old Bird can be seen in silhouette in the image of kid Samus in the stasis tank.
i got no response on how to submit a fact in the previous video, so i'll post it here:
when doors are locked in a boss fight, both Samus's and the Boss's projectiles can still hit them, and will make the "door can't open" sound. it works with the Robot Soldiers and Escue
Your creature in Devon is actually experiment number Z because in his death animation in the fight we see that he was an ex parasite core so the body and Darian got infected by the X parasite and then came back to life that's why right before and after the fight would experiment the body in the room disappears from the background
For the number 4, they just forgot that you can stop and look at them. That soldier was just "hiding" until you went to the next room to disappear from that room.
Oh those spiders were a nightmare, and as I thought I could cheese one by having it fly over me was a bad Idea when I got under 1 etank after it cheesed me harder
Man, this game's got a lot of cool details.
The Galactic Federation is super shady bro! Thought 🤔💭. Great Video!
The attention to detail lavished upon this game by Mercury Steam is just unbelievable. I truly believe the developers were Uber fans of the franchise
For #8, I wonder if the GF ship is still there during the escape sequence.
I always wondered if that ship parked somewhere or just dropped them off Halo ODST-style and then left. So that's a very sick detail!
1:56 experiment Z- 57 is the same creature, after you release the X one of them just absorbed the body. If you come back later you can see its gone
I love this videos! So much love and care where put into Dread!! You should do this series with Samus Returns too!!
So, we can say that the X parasite that mimicked Quiet Robe did not only mimic, but took over the body? It makes sense that the Thoha are such peaceful Chozo that even an X reanimated corpse would not be able to turn such corpse into a violent monster such as SA-X, and why Quiet Robe-X helped Samus escape in the end.
Either that or the X really copy the entirety of the host, and could not amplify violent traits on Quiet Robe, because there were not any, hence providing Samus with support instead.
I thought Ex. z-57 was Corpius, corrupted/mutated by the x-parasite. While the Darion lab was "repairing" Corpius after the first encounter, the parasite took over once those escaped. Like you can see it's weird rib cage like legs up in the air while the bots are repairing it. Or maybe another corpious-type bio weapon?
Corpius disappears when you absorb its power
@@justinokraski3796 True true, the labs probably have a buhgillion experiments like corpius
Part 7 already!? Damn, who knew we would get this far! Keep 'em coming!
0:52 I might be insane but this segment in particular they sort of look like flood infection forms without the tentacles or legs
Incredible levels of detail in this great game!
Always love theses videos !
Where did you found the chozo alphabet ?
After the encounter with Ravenbeak and blacking out, the A.I. that we talk to during the whole time of the game is actually Ravenbeaks himself, this can be noticed since he calls her "Samus" instead of "Madam". And only in the end when you are back in the ship he calls you Madam again.
He calls her lady not madam, plus its common knowledge by now
The Boundary Break of this game from Shesez will be wild
He already done
Submit to the Mawkin, power is everything
Came here for yampas based on the thumbnail and was not disappointed
I continue to be surprised at all the effort that went into this game. I should win some sort of award.
after playing Metroid Dread 28 times, I noticed most of these. I'm not joking, I really have played Dread over 20 times!
Doesn't the Aberration 01 in #2 look like a developing Phantoon?
Just with two eyes though?
I didn't even think of that, but now I see it! That is a really cool idea 👍
It definitely looks like a head with eyes and jaws, at least the angle the model is presented in the video.
I didn't think there's any such thing as a developing Phantoon. I thought Phantoons were the ghosts of Mother Brains.
@@LyfSukz Possible. I don't actually know the lore of Phantoon.
Aberration 01 kinda looks like phantoon
1:22 Kind of looks like phantoon...
Yampas for Smash!!! Top tier edge guard!
And ppl brag about animal crossing and fkn zelda.... the metrod series is the best Nintendo ip of all time. Idc what anyone says. Nothing is messin w samus
The first part I knew and was about to do a video but you beat me to it, dang
Already Saw!
Ogni volta che ritorno in questo canale l’intro ha tipo un power up
Why don't they make a suit for Samus with the "Strongest stuff in the universe"
"what happened to the fed ship?" "same as every other time. shot down and destroyed" XD i swear no wonder they need samus they suck on there own. i have wonder how they all feel for it going "man... why do we suck so much!! were a literally army and even have suits that can mimic her power suit much less we can literally send her data that lets a suit gain missiles, bombs and other things! we should be top of the hill but were always being shot down by things that use melee!"
you keep cranking these up but I keep watching them, I'm part of the problem ain't I ?
This is not as mind blowing as the previous one, but still ne interesting details.
these are indeed cool
This game is AMAZING
Moooore!
Kinu ulu torota... Ana maril sano bura. Aimar hem kal on.
Cool
But why do they sometimes turn their letters upside down? The A's on both of these words are not the same 100%.
2:28 *Menacing sons of bitches are JoJo-posing*
Wait why is Samus' right arm highlighted in that blueprint image? Does her arm have something special that lets her use the arm cannon?
Probably
It's highly likely, since we've not seen other Chozo wield arm cannons. The only ones to do that so far are Raven Beak & Samus (who has RB's DNA as a donation)
It might also be RB only tech in a way, so no-one else simply has access to it, but he allowed it here to have Samus better resemble him than any other Chozo. Or to just have an edge on the Thoha, who can say when their bickering among each other began
@@emmareiman64 Well I would think other Chozo do use arm canons because everywhere the chozo have been there is arm cannon and morph ball activated technology left by them. Though that is my explanation for why those gameplay features exist all over. You're right that they're are the only 2 people we see using arm cannons so maybe it is exclusive to them.
4:06 THATS A CUT SCENE. WTF FAIL
5:23 THERES NOTHING THERE. EPIC FAIL
SO YOU'RE SAYING YOU ONLY NEEDED TO CROUCH????? NOT SLIDE??????
2:32 why those two give jojo vibes?
Number 4 isn't a glitch it's a meaning that he's watching you
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
nice upload.
1: shut up, no one cares.
2: you didn't even watch the video, with your "nice upload"
@@YoshiAteTooManyYoshiCookies Double facts
I'm 7th!
@@XxguaxinimxX. nobody cares 😃
@@PrestonianB I know :|
But it's fun to say, nonetheless.
Samus actually had two lines. The one you mentioned with Quiet Robe. And when Raven Beak said "Power is everything." she responded with "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" there wasn't a subtitle for it, but I'm guessing in the chozo language that means something like, "I strongly disagree with your ideology and believe it is in everybody's best interest if you were to cease all endeavors regarding said ideology."
