mrbibs350 not really, there was a big hint on light aether in the same room. Tons of giant mechanical limbs that just make you go "What were they trying to build here?"
I remember walking through the Quadraxis field in the Light world, seeing pieces of it manufactured yet unassembled, and thought to myself: "....yep, that thing's probably gonna punch my face out through my ass at some point." Called it.
Yes! In the light world, the arena is technically empty, but I believe the head and two legs are within the room as disassembled props. It's the foreshadowing of the boss fight.
ah ok. i'm still in torvus bog somewhere after alpha blogg. i beat alpha blogg on GC then went to emulator and so i'm somewhere before the boss now lol
Echoes easilly has the best Boss fights of the entire Prime series, and I'd even say the Metroid series as well. Chykka, Quadraxis, and Emperor Ing are all freaking great boss battles !
The most titanic boss in the Prime Games. This music felt powerful along with this thunderous mech's heavy steps. You felt every slam of his leg every time he quickly stomped the ground step by step... Not to mention the very slight tension added from slowly losing health meant you had to learn how to get health back by busting his knee caps. I won't say he's the greatest boss ever designed, but he IS menacing AND fearful to the first time player. Love these games. ^^
Totally agree, but the tiny little thing that destroyed this boss fight for me was the amount of HELP the AI gave you through the ENORMOUS amount of energy they gave you after bursting each knee cap. I mean, this boss is already titanic. Now make the hardest boss ever to NOT give so much energy at will. That would of been EPIC imo.
samy29987 Completely agree. I wish there was a "Galactic Warlord" Difficulty that gave NO energy from anything accept for save stations. THAT... would have been truly awesome. ^^ (Accept for the godforsaken Boost Guardian... -.-")
Imagine going low on energy tanks.. having 4 left or 5 left and still not knowing how to kill the first form of quadraxis. 10 times better and challenging than the boost guardian in my opinion. That ''galactic warlord'' difficulty souns EPIC!.
I definitely love the fact that you're constantly using your various abilities in the fight, but what sells it for me is one key gimmick: Attrition Just the notion of having an implied time limit (that being your constantly draining health) puts on the pressure so much, and in the right way too. It's heavily based on how well you can put two-and-two together through scan data, and understanding when to strike while reading its attack pattern.
@@garretheath3891 Nahhh they aren't really hard, 2-3 charged wave beam shots take out the wave troopers, one Super Missile takes out the Power Troopers, one charged Ice Beam followed by a missile destroys the Ice Troopers, and for plasma troopers, well plasma beam just melts everything. Echoes had way more engaging and tougher fights, especially boss fights. Omega Pirate and Metroid Prime are the hardest fights in Prime, whereas half of the bosses in Echoes are harder than any fight in Prime or Corruption, namely Emperor Ing, Boost/Spider Guardian and Alpha Blogg.
fabian G.L. Like all other major bosses: Amorbis is a giant Sandigger. Chykka is a giant War Wasp. Quadraxis is a giant Quad MB and CM. Ing Emperor form 1 is a giant Ing Drone. Mutated Ing Emperor is a giant Ing Warrior.
STHbiggestfan Boost guardian, yes, but the spider guardian wasnt as hard as people make it out to be. (he seems to be the 'Water Temple' of the Metroid series) I thoroughly enjoyed his fight. I know he got nerfed in the Trilogy version with the addition of the jump ball, but even when I only use the morph bombs to jump, he's still not anywhere as close to the boost guardian.
If you read around, you find out they they were MEANT to build another one. Guess they couldn't or wouldn't due to the Ings capabilities of manipulation, thus having two instead of one.
*Enters room after collecting the Dark Temple Keys* *Looks at size of Quadraxis* ...I have to fight that thing, don't I? *Quadraxis wakes up* Yeah... I gotta fight that.
Easily my favorite boss battle in the entire metroid series. The atmosphere, music, size of the boss, and the stages of the fight made it near perfect! This fight was more than just jumping around and blasting, the player had to utilize almost every ability in the game to beat quadraxis, which made this battle also of the mind since you had to think while ur health is draining. Fantastic fight! Only thing is that quadraxis could have done more damage then it would be PERFECT.
@@SikantoCentral They did complete Quadraxis, but the Ings stole the damn drone and the luminoth had to create other, but hey were killed in the process.
I love the end to this battle. How Samus lands like a badass, and the head comes crashing down in the background. And then shortly after you walk away like nothing happened.
Dusty Small yea the music is just so amazing. And I don't get why people had such a hard time with it. I mean he was hard but I didn't die fighting him.
Amazing game, Amazing Boss For all the people that talk about Trilogy, go and play the original games first and then and only then we will be able to talk about post traumatic stress disorder.
This was one of the most fun bosses I've ever been challenged by in a game, with all his different stages. As soon as you walk into his chamber you really get the feeling you're screwed, but the rewards were fantastic.
The fact that there are no stupid QTEs, scripted events, cutscenes (other than switching between phases) or outside help of any kind make it even better. You have to take down that thing with nothing but your fire power and skill.
I remember one particular attempt on this boss - Killed him, looted the Annihilator Beam and died on my way to a Safe Zone which is the temple entrance with the rotating room.
BusaLova Reminds me of the time my Majora's Mask soft locked in the curiosity shop after completing Stone Tower and acquiring the Great Fairy Sword. Hugs brother.
Brad Bailey There is a room with several Ingstorm that you are required to pass through to get to the next part of the game. It is right after Quadraxis. Chances are, that is where he died.
Like many of Metroid Prime 2's foes, Quadraxis is one of the most entertaining and creative boss fights I've ever witnessed in gaming. It took a while for me to figure out exactly what to do, but the payoff was worth it.
Man I remember as a kid I was genuinely afraid of this boss lol. Just as you’re about to enter the arena and you see it in its towering glory, it was just terrifying.
Even today, going back and playing MP2 on the Wii, Quadraxis is impressively big and imposing. Not often in a videogame does a boss genuinely make me feel dwarfed.
I think Echoes was the best of the series in general. I love the sound of the boss themes (and hell, torvus's theme is awesome too), and I found the light/dark aspect of everything to be interesting....then you had the challenge of not being able to rely on your light and dark beams all the time because they run out of ammo. I loved the challenge in the fights too. They won't ever top this in my opinion.
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
Listen closely and you'll notice the boss themes become more ambient and less involved as the game goes on, so as not to distract the player (Except for the final boss, often). This track is a perfect example; great groove but not as "loud" as, say, the Parasite Queen theme (also a favourite of mine. Great upload).
I always thought that those robotic sounds were actually coming from Quadraxis only to realize that it was from the ost. Nevertheless, a really badass ost.
Quadraxis, one of THE most badass bosses in a badass game like Metroid, with this battle music makes it so epic I can guarantee anyone will look forward to fighting this massive robot!
I still feel this is one of the most epic boss fights in any game, and the music really helps. After you finally take this thing out you feel like Samus is a god. I mean it is this giant ware mech and despite it's resilience you tear it apart piece by piece until it is just a big pile of scrap.
Every time I fight this boss I realize just how convenient it is that his head spins out of control and smashes all four knee shields. Not anything to argue with though... Still love the game
First it was the song from mother brain battle in super metroid. Then it was this one. 2 metroid songs that are stuck in my brain and will keep haunting me till my last breath
If I had to pick a boss other than Meta Ridley from the original Prime for my favorite boss in the Prime trilogy, Quadraxis would be that boss. This boss is just amazing. It's creative, and is fairly challenging. The music is also really awesome.
What? No, Emperor Ing was actually easier than Quadraxis. All you had to do is bomb the first form and the final form was veeeeeery weak to light beam.
What made Quadraxis even more intimidating was that it could MOVE, jumping around and everything! Only after the body went down was it a more arena-like fight with a ring shape.
@MeDsCP After almost 6 months of being stuck trying to defeat the Quadriped, Mechanical, Annihilator Nightmare, I have finally silenced the sound of his Boss Battle Theme once and for all! I give you my highest level of gratitude because I would not have experimented with almost all of your advice for a long time. Seriously, thank you!
Logbook entry: The Quadraxis unit went rogue and entered the service of the Ing. Its primary weapon system fires destructive matter-antimatter blasts. It uses a powerful Missile battery for long-distance attacks. The Quadraxis is incredibly durable and well-armored, but its leg and foot joints are vulnerable. Damaging these joints will eventually render it immobile.
I just fought this boss for the first time last night, and as soon as I saw it, my jaw hit the floor. I knew the boss was going to be big and impressive, but I didn't expect a mechanical colossus this awesome. It was fun, epic, and is now my favorite part of the game. Quadraxis gets two thumbs up.
After conquering this, Samus should have nerves of steel lmao. I wish Other M was more like Prime Samus, even though I know they are non-canon games now.
They aren't non-canon, this was a misunderstanding from a translation of Sakamoto's interview. What he actually said is that he personally didn't think they were relevant to the Other M story and that Samus was "different, tougher." The games are considered canon and have a place in the timeline.
Look on the bright side...Samus's soul of iron and titanium returned in Fusion. She had to face the gelatinous parasitic equivalent of The Thing, of ALL things!
Probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite boss fights in the Metroid Prime series. At first, I was intimidated by the size of it, but found out it wasn't too hard, just a long epic multi-stage fight. And no, I didn't die. You are all noobs.
Sally Butter Pants People see Quadraxis too easy and the only reason for that is because he gave tooooons os energy after bursting each knee cap. If there was no energy whatsoever it would be the hardest one in the entire metroid universe. Trust me.
Sally Butter Pants Yea, i am 10000% sure of that.. People would of died in the first form a gazillion of times. Even though that boost guardian was amazingly hard.
Sally Butter Pants Oh god, the boost Guardian and the Alpha Blogg, boost guardian slightly worse. Those two are what have shied me away from me trying Metroid Prime 2 on hard mode, unlike Metroid Prime 1 and three that seemed to have easy bosses. (MP3 thanks to the Hypermode spam)
it was never meant to be an ingsmasher, at least not the enemy type. yes, it was meant to literally destroy ing, but that's not the ingsmasher he's talking about
Honestly, I think Quadraxis was the most awe-inspiring boss I have ever fought in my history of playing videogames. He was so goddamn big and intimidating.
Okay, I know Metroid games have been known for their atmosphere, but this song takes the cake. It sets the mood perfectly: you are battling an ancient war machine possessed by the Ing, barely dodging its attacks, as your health slowly dwindles
Kiryu549 Emperor Ing was pretty damn hard. Took me a few tries, but I managed to beat the bastard. XD Quite frankly, I didn't enjoy that fight very much.
One of the best boss battles ever created, even rivaling Zelda and Pikmin 3's top tier bosses. Metroid is criminally under-rated. I think Samus needs a redesign. Maybe too many people don't like her design.
He does, but that may be for people who try to do runs with no energy tanks. Since there is no safe spots in the fight, he needs to drop large amounts of health to give those players a chance.
i finished not so long ago an run witout suits ( except the light one ) on the hardest difficuly and man , i was so happy this boss gives so much health because without dark suit and on the hardest difficulty you take almost 8 Dmg/sec
+Justice Taylor It takes a pretty tricky jump just before Torvus Bog to get to a Dark Portal and (very quickly) run through, but it's possible to skip the Dark Suit. Very, VERY hard, but possible.
@BIGZAM0079 I just now pictured an army of like 15 Quadraxis Robots and swarms of Quadbots (I think they were called) led by thousands of Luminoth along with a massive Galactic Federation army comprised of tanks and battleships marching through a huge desert on Dark Aether toward the Dark Temple, all viewed from a bird's eye view. I'm currently fighting off the urge to burst into tears at the sheer thought. And for that I thank you good sir.
I loved everything about this boss. The setting, the size, the strategy, teh fact that it's a massive robot taken over by the Ing, and of course the music. One of my favorite bosses of all time, and definately my favorite Metroid boss along with Meta-Ridley from MP1.
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:
I remember fighting Quadraxis my first time, and I made it all the way to the final stage, but took too much damage and ended up dying from the atmosphere. I was so pissed that I wouldn't try fighting it again for the rest of the week.
Gotta say, this is probably my favorite boss battle theme ever. It doesn't call any attention to itself, but it sets the mood perfectly. As I'm sure many others have already said, he's a giant robot moving around slowly as your life gets drained by Dark Aether. Just fits perfectly, in my opinion.
Seems like there was always a boss in a Metroid game that made you go, "Oh crap. I have to fight THAT?"
But this guy kind of snuck up on you. Just walk into a room and bam, welcome to hell (Dark Aether)
mrbibs350 not really, there was a big hint on light aether in the same room. Tons of giant mechanical limbs that just make you go "What were they trying to build here?"
that right there is the Omega Pirate.
Metroid Prime in a nutshell
Matthew Frye Pretty much every time I stepped into a Leviathan on Metroid Prime 3...
I remember walking through the Quadraxis field in the Light world, seeing pieces of it manufactured yet unassembled, and thought to myself:
"....yep, that thing's probably gonna punch my face out through my ass at some point."
Called it.
Like me ;)
+Alex Dusfraine When I first saw it literally my first thought's were: Hooooooly fuck
you can see pieces of it in the light world?
Yes! In the light world, the arena is technically empty, but I believe the head and two legs are within the room as disassembled props. It's the foreshadowing of the boss fight.
ah ok. i'm still in torvus bog somewhere after alpha blogg. i beat alpha blogg on GC then went to emulator and so i'm somewhere before the boss now lol
Quadraxis truly one of the greatest boss fights in video games.
+DXfan4ever100 Indeed I am
Can't decide if it or Hag 1 takes the cake.
THERE. ARE. NO. SAFE. ZONES.
Haha, is that all? Try doing this fight without the Dark Suit and only a bare handful of energy tanks.
Oh, so basically this:
ruclips.net/video/6-nBM2QIaSo/видео.html
10 year old me was panicking
@@avder42 holy crazy
13 years old me who had fetched more than 8 energy tanks:pathetic
Now THIS was a boss battle to remember!
TOTALLY AGREE!
This and Hag 1 are my all time favorites.
Echoes easilly has the best Boss fights of the entire Prime series, and I'd even say the Metroid series as well. Chykka, Quadraxis, and Emperor Ing are all freaking great boss battles !
amorbis is really fun too
i also think the ing in general are super fun to fight
Dark samus and amorbis also pull their weight
Nah i prefer rundas battle theme
Honestly i would have agreed with you until Dread came out that fight against raven beak was the best boss fight 2d or 3d that Metroid ever had.
@@ODST_SSGT They said the best out of the Prime series. Dread ain't one of those chief
What? Metagross is evolving!
Mega Metagross haha.
Annihilator27 Spider Ball used Power Bomb. It was Super Effective!
The most titanic boss in the Prime Games. This music felt powerful along with this thunderous mech's heavy steps. You felt every slam of his leg every time he quickly stomped the ground step by step...
Not to mention the very slight tension added from slowly losing health meant you had to learn how to get health back by busting his knee caps.

Exactly how I felt!

samy29987 This is one of those moments I wish I could learn how to mod and mod the Prime games haha. :D
Everybody's a badass until the demonically possessed 4 story robot starts spinning like a top.
I definitely love the fact that you're constantly using your various abilities in the fight, but what sells it for me is one key gimmick:
Attrition
Just the notion of having an implied time limit (that being your constantly draining health) puts on the pressure so much, and in the right way too. It's heavily based on how well you can put two-and-two together through scan data, and understanding when to strike while reading its attack pattern.
This game was great
Every huge boss in this game terrified me. Because you’re always put into a point of struggles. MP2 was indeed the hardest of the primes... hands down
I think the pirates in prime were harder
@@garretheath3891 Nahhh they aren't really hard, 2-3 charged wave beam shots take out the wave troopers, one Super Missile takes out the Power Troopers, one charged Ice Beam followed by a missile destroys the Ice Troopers, and for plasma troopers, well plasma beam just melts everything.

Until Dread, I think this was the hardest Metroid game followed by Fusion
Freakin' Quadraxis. He is one scary muthafucka.
fabian G.L.
Like all other major bosses:
Amorbis is a giant Sandigger.
Chykka is a giant War Wasp.
Quadraxis is a giant Quad MB and CM.
Ing Emperor form 1 is a giant Ing Drone.
Mutated Ing Emperor is a giant Ing Warrior.
fabian G.L. Sorry, my bad! I have the german version and it's called Ing Drone there....;)
+TheZero1312 yes it varies on which version of the game you have. Like here it is warrior ing and inglet.
Quadraxis is BY FAR the best boss in the entire series. PERIOD.
Kneel before me
And one of the biggest.
Metroid Prime, Rundas, and Emperor Ing beg to disagree.
@@maxrichards3881 HA no.
Silent Birthday
That’s it? No elaboration?
I guess it's a plus when your enemy is so large that you can't miss.
Hmm... Now that's optimism, baby! XD
Optimism? On a Metroid Prime 2 video? Your optimism is no match for the spider and boost guardians.
STHbiggestfan totally igree Bro!!! try defeat boost guardian inhard mode :/
***** I did so on my third try.
STHbiggestfan
Boost guardian, yes, but the spider guardian wasnt as hard as people make it out to be. (he seems to be the 'Water Temple' of the Metroid series) I thoroughly enjoyed his fight. I know he got nerfed in the Trilogy version with the addition of the jump ball, but even when I only use the morph bombs to jump, he's still not anywhere as close to the boost guardian.
I love how we all unanimously love this fight.
Lol
I remember finding enough pieces of him in Sanctuary Fortress to build two, and nearly pissing myself at the thought.
sometimes i thought they would move to eachother and make two big ones that i neded to kill, becouse it was a big room there
If you read around, you find out they they were MEANT to build another one.
Guess they couldn't or wouldn't due to the Ings capabilities of manipulation, thus having two instead of one.
*Enters room after collecting the Dark Temple Keys*
*Looks at size of Quadraxis*
...I have to fight that thing, don't I?
*Quadraxis wakes up*
Yeah... I gotta fight that.
You should have seen me, my jaw dropped at the first glance of the thing.
This fight wasn't difficult, but overly long, and so, making me very tense and nervous. The worst time I had was with the Boost and Spider guardian.
yes, it was annoying and I had to try at least 4 times to get it right (the timings with the boost is difficult)
fabian G.L. i don't think the spider guardian is a hard boss for me it was the easiest
Seriously the boost guardian on hard mode is harder then Emperor ing and final dark Samus combine!
THOSE BOOST AND SPIDER GUARDIANS MADE ME SO MAD
The only real difficult of this marvelous boss is that Samus is unprotected, in my opinion.
That first scene when you see the size difference between Samus and the Quadraxis. 0_o
Easily my favorite boss battle in the entire metroid series. The atmosphere, music, size of the boss, and the stages of the fight made it near perfect! This fight was more than just jumping around and blasting, the player had to utilize almost every ability in the game to beat quadraxis, which made this battle also of the mind since you had to think while ur health is draining. Fantastic fight! Only thing is that quadraxis could have done more damage then it would be PERFECT.
"Oh god, I have to FIGHT that?"
This is why you don't leave your quadrupedal superweapons just laying about.
Someone is going to either hack it or steal it.
Norbles Xarelon Ironic, because the Luminoth didn't complete theirs for that exact reason during the war.
@@SikantoCentral They did complete Quadraxis, but the Ings stole the damn drone and the luminoth had to create other, but hey were killed in the process.
this game was released 10 yrs ago and it's still one of my favorites
Anyone else hear the creepy robotic voices in the background?
I love the end to this battle. How Samus lands like a badass, and the head comes crashing down in the background. And then shortly after you walk away like nothing happened.
This boss is totally my favorite boss in MP2
+Vic 2_O My favorite boss too!
Dusty Small yea the music is just so amazing. And I don't get why people had such a hard time with it. I mean he was hard but I didn't die fighting him.
+Vic 2_O Im sorry sir but im afraid i must disagree. in my opinion the dark samus fights are better. the theme is definitely great though
+EaSy00MoNeY01 well your definitely right about the Dark Samus fights being awesome
I love the Dark Samus fights too, But actually both the quadraxis and dark samus fights and songs are equally good :)
Amazing game, Amazing Boss
For all the people that talk about Trilogy, go and play the original games first and then and only then we will be able to talk about post traumatic stress disorder.
Can't do, I have no GameCube :(
I've done so. Boy, I learned to be better real quick.
This was one of the most fun bosses I've ever been challenged by in a game, with all his different stages. As soon as you walk into his chamber you really get the feeling you're screwed, but the rewards were fantastic.
The fact that there are no stupid QTEs, scripted events, cutscenes (other than switching between phases) or outside help of any kind make it even better. You have to take down that thing with nothing but your fire power and skill.
This. One of the best boss battles of all time.
The moment you face Quadraxis and he starts to spin: "Oh Shiii-!!!". Really was epic, terrifying, and with this music... memorable.
This beat is serious!!!!
I love Quadraxis one of the best bosses of all time
The music just makes it better
I remember one particular attempt on this boss - Killed him, looted the Annihilator Beam and died on my way to a Safe Zone which is the temple entrance with the rotating room.
He drops a bunch of healing things though 0.0
Brad Bailey True that.
BusaLova Reminds me of the time my Majora's Mask soft locked in the curiosity shop after completing Stone Tower and acquiring the Great Fairy Sword. Hugs brother.
Brad Bailey There is a room with several Ingstorm that you are required to pass through to get to the next part of the game. It is right after Quadraxis. Chances are, that is where he died.
MortonGoldthwait Probably died there, you are right...
You have brought back one of the funniest things on these videos. I havnt seen somone do that for a while.
Like many of Metroid Prime 2's foes, Quadraxis is one of the most entertaining and creative boss fights I've ever witnessed in gaming. It took a while for me to figure out exactly what to do, but the payoff was worth it.
Oh, I've always loved this soundtrack.
I’ve never heard such a soundtrack to fighting bosses in any video game ever. Metroid hit different
Man I remember as a kid I was genuinely afraid of this boss lol. Just as you’re about to enter the arena and you see it in its towering glory, it was just terrifying.
Ah, there's nothing like finding enemy weak points than _entering another fucking dimension._
This fight was all kinds of insane.
That moment when you beat Quadraxis and die leaving his room due to your lack of energy.
The perfect example of a Boss where when you first see it, you're like holy shit that's big and will hurt me a lot if I'm not careful!!!!
Even today, going back and playing MP2 on the Wii, Quadraxis is impressively big and imposing. Not often in a videogame does a boss genuinely make me feel dwarfed.
I think Echoes was the best of the series in general.

I loved the challenge in the fights too. They won't ever top this in my opinion.
How I wish Metroid dread has musics like this
Fought this jerk the first time in the past month. It timed me out and gave me my first game over. I will forever spite it for that
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
He wasn't : he IS.
One of the most innovatively complex boss to date in the serie.
Yes, the game is hard - but damn is it fantastic!
Quadraxis, the War Robot that the Luminot created to fight Emperor Ing but they possesed it before that 😔
I thing I absolutely love about MP2s soundtrack is the choir like voice. It works so damn well.
This boss was tough- 3 phases, your health slowly drains, and you have to utilize all you have learned up to that point.
Quadraxis, best boss name ever =D
Listen closely and you'll notice the boss themes become more ambient and less involved as the game goes on, so as not to distract the player (Except for the final boss, often).

Actually it "talks" too. There are some recordings of Quadraxis' vocals here on RUclips
Most of the people at my school say Nintendo is for kids.
I just pull up a video of Quadraxis as fast as possible to prove them wrong
Quadraxis, one of THE most badass bosses in a badass game like Metroid, with this battle music makes it so epic I can guarantee anyone will look forward to fighting this massive robot!
Though, I must admit, Quadraxis is one of my favorite bosses in Metroid.
I still feel this is one of the most epic boss fights in any game, and the music really helps. After you finally take this thing out you feel like Samus is a god. I mean it is this giant ware mech and despite it's resilience you tear it apart piece by piece until it is just a big pile of scrap.
Every time I fight this boss I realize just how convenient it is that his head spins out of control and smashes all four knee shields. Not anything to argue with though... Still love the game
My EXACT words when I first heard this song when battling him:
Oh this song is SO epic!
First it was the song from mother brain battle in super metroid. Then it was this one. 2 metroid songs that are stuck in my brain and will keep haunting me till my last breath
Metroid Prime 2 has epic soundtracks
If I had to pick a boss other than Meta Ridley from the original Prime for my favorite boss in the Prime trilogy, Quadraxis would be that boss. This boss is just amazing. It's creative, and is fairly challenging. The music is also really awesome.
Agreed.
I have a save file on MP 1&2 that I keep at Ridley and Quadraxis respectively
Emperor Ing was much much harder than this guy.
I loved this fight, right up there with Chykka. It was intense and very interesting.
fuckong spider ball guardian: 2nd person to kill me. first was boost ball guardian.
woops *fucking*
What? No, Emperor Ing was actually easier than Quadraxis. All you had to do is bomb the first form and the final form was veeeeeery weak to light beam.
@@holloworeo2233 disagree. The quadraxis was the toughest boss for me 💁🏻♂️
What made Quadraxis even more intimidating was that it could MOVE, jumping around and everything! Only after the body went down was it a more arena-like fight with a ring shape.
If you can't call this boss battle epic, I don't know what you can. By far the best boss battle I've had in any game.
I would strafe around this boss and not attack just so I could hear this track. This is the $h!t right here!
Fighting this guy was a doggone puzzle.

It uses a powerful Missile battery for long-distance attacks. The Quadraxis is incredibly durable and well-armored, but its leg and foot joints are vulnerable. Damaging these joints will eventually render it immobile.
Best boss in the trilogy. Most fitting music for a boss.
I just fought this boss for the first time last night, and as soon as I saw it, my jaw hit the floor. I knew the boss was going to be big and impressive, but I didn't expect a mechanical colossus this awesome. It was fun, epic, and is now my favorite part of the game. Quadraxis gets two thumbs up.
After conquering this, Samus should have nerves of steel lmao. I wish Other M was more like Prime Samus, even though I know they are non-canon games now.
Fuck that. The only non-canon Metroid I can think of is Metroid: Other M.
They aren't non-canon, this was a misunderstanding from a translation of Sakamoto's interview. What he actually said is that he personally didn't think they were relevant to the Other M story and that Samus was "different, tougher." The games are considered canon and have a place in the timeline.
Look on the bright side...Samus's soul of iron and titanium returned in Fusion. She had to face the gelatinous parasitic equivalent of The Thing, of ALL things!
The Ugly Barnacle
And disobeyed orders by the galactic government by crashing the station into an important planet.
By far my favourite boss and music in this game. Thank for posting this (Y)
Probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite boss fights in the Metroid Prime series. At first, I was intimidated by the size of it, but found out it wasn't too hard, just a long epic multi-stage fight. And no, I didn't die. You are all noobs.
I found him rather short, to be honest. Like, reaaaaly short. THough I did it on my first try
Sally Butter Pants People see Quadraxis too easy and the only reason for that is because he gave tooooons os energy after bursting each knee cap. If there was no energy whatsoever it would be the hardest one in the entire metroid universe. Trust me.
samy29987 Harder than the Boost Guardian?
Sally Butter Pants Yea, i am 10000% sure of that.. People would of died in the first form a gazillion of times. Even though that boost guardian was amazingly hard.
Sally Butter Pants Oh god, the boost Guardian and the Alpha Blogg, boost guardian slightly worse. Those two are what have shied me away from me trying Metroid Prime 2 on hard mode, unlike Metroid Prime 1 and three that seemed to have easy bosses. (MP3 thanks to the Hypermode spam)
What a banger. I love this classic ost
Ok I can't see it on the comments, so...
'I'm Quadraxis, life was fine until I took a Samus to the knee.'
Sorry :)
I love that battle.
And the Theme is fenomenal.
Thanks for sharing.
Can you even imagine if Quadraxis was a giant ing smasher insted of a spider thing? yeah, no fuck that.
Originaly , Quadraxis supposed to be that , an Killing machine for the luminoth , but they never finished building it because of dark aether
it was never meant to be an ingsmasher, at least not the enemy type. yes, it was meant to literally destroy ing, but that's not the ingsmasher he's talking about
Honestly, I think Quadraxis was the most awe-inspiring boss I have ever fought in my history of playing videogames.
He was so goddamn big and intimidating.
so, Metroid Prime Trilogy Switch Version when?
Hopefully soon. Way sooner than MP4 at least.
Okay, I know Metroid games have been known for their atmosphere, but this song takes the cake. It sets the mood perfectly: you are battling an ancient war machine possessed by the Ing, barely dodging its attacks, as your health slowly dwindles
The reason I never beat this game...
You think Quadraxis is hard? Fight the Emperor Ing.
I can't. I have to beat Quadraxis first.
MrSlinkerman Yeah right now I'm trying to beat Emperor Ing on hard, not fun at all. 10x harder than Quadraxis
Kiryu549 Emperor Ing was pretty damn hard. Took me a few tries, but I managed to beat the bastard. XD Quite frankly, I didn't enjoy that fight very much.
Neither do I, only thing I like about the fight was his theme song.
oh dear god this is hilarious! thank you for continuing
One of the best boss battles ever created, even rivaling Zelda and Pikmin 3's top tier bosses. Metroid is criminally under-rated. I think Samus needs a redesign. Maybe too many people don't like her design.
Quadraxis is my favorite boss fight of all boss fights ever. This song ive listened to more times than seconds ive played the game.
He drops too much health, he shouldn't have dropped any instead, only missiles, still awesome boss though.
He does, but that may be for people who try to do runs with no energy tanks. Since there is no safe spots in the fight, he needs to drop large amounts of health to give those players a chance.
He drops too much health because there are no light spots in the room you fight him for you to regain your health.
i finished not so long ago an run witout suits ( except the light one ) on the hardest difficuly and man , i was so happy this boss gives so much health because without dark suit and on the hardest difficulty you take almost 8 Dmg/sec
+Jeff Theqc Ignoring the dark suit? That's nuts! I didn't know the game even let you do that.
+Justice Taylor It takes a pretty tricky jump just before Torvus Bog to get to a Dark Portal and (very quickly) run through, but it's possible to skip the Dark Suit. Very, VERY hard, but possible.
This is a surprisingly good workout track.
Metal Gear? Anyone?
i guess
Metroid
snakes weapons could probably beat quadraxis better
Disciple5
Snake can't jump nor form form into a ball. He's dead.
true but his weapons wont bounce off quadraxis like they are nothing lol
@BIGZAM0079 I just now pictured an army of like 15 Quadraxis Robots and swarms of Quadbots (I think they were called) led by thousands of Luminoth along with a massive Galactic Federation army comprised of tanks and battleships marching through a huge desert on Dark Aether toward the Dark Temple, all viewed from a bird's eye view.
I'm currently fighting off the urge to burst into tears at the sheer thought. And for that I thank you good sir.
This fight took me a while. Thats not a bad thing i enjoyed every moment
@Quadraxis Lol I saw your username in the "Elegy of Emptiness" video and it prompted me here :P
Awesome Boss btw
I used to kill bounty hunters like quadraxis, but then I took a super missile in the knee.
I loved everything about this boss. The setting, the size, the strategy, teh fact that it's a massive robot taken over by the Ing, and of course the music. One of my favorite bosses of all time, and definately my favorite Metroid boss along with Meta-Ridley from MP1.
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:
One of my favorites Boss battles in Metroid!!
I remember fighting Quadraxis my first time, and I made it all the way to the final stage, but took too much damage and ended up dying from the atmosphere. I was so pissed that I wouldn't try fighting it again for the rest of the week.
Gotta say, this is probably my favorite boss battle theme ever. It doesn't call any attention to itself, but it sets the mood perfectly. As I'm sure many others have already said, he's a giant robot moving around slowly as your life gets drained by Dark Aether. Just fits perfectly, in my opinion.
This has to be one of the best designed bosses in Metroid history. I should really play this game again (only played through it once -_-)
I remember the first time I saw it *shiver* A great challenge, thank you Quad!
