Huge favor! Let this video play out in its entirety to get it to the #1 spot and keep it there! 💪

If it wasn't for this I would've given up on the game and just KZfaq the ending! Thanks bro

Dude, I was about to fucking destroy this game with my hands in a rage of anguish. You saved me, I never would tought that the big fucking ball in phase 3 can be destroyed with a super bomb. In fact I think phase 3 is easier than phase 2.

Whew, did not know you could counter his red dash. Would’ve never beat him if I hadn’t known that and you can power slide under him his 2nd phase. You sir are a hero for this guide.

I know I’m late to the party but thank you because of this walkthrough video I finally beat Metroid dread!! Such an awesome game! Definitely almost gave up a few times throughout but I pushed through and it feels good to say I finally beat this game!!

didn't realize you can powerbomb his sun attack. Managed to get to phase 3 with full HP but the sun was destroying me.

Amazing boss. He wiped the floor with my face many times, but I finally did it. Thankfully, once I reached the third phase I won. The second one is the real pain.

This is a great resource and really well-produced!

Your advice is so much better than the stuff I’ve heard on other videos. You rock, thank you! Phase 3 has been killin me

So many good tips in this! I had NO idea about the supernovas being able to be destroyed. I thought they were invincible and got so mad! Also props for pointing out all the counter opportunities, really shortened phase 1 for me! And I never thought of snagging a lock-on while spinning around him in phase 2, but that helped a lot.

Having spent so many hours figuring out the previous bosses, I'm glad I checked this out. It would have taken me days. Thank you.

"You see Raven Beak, You're not dealing with the average Samus Aran anymore...."

If you don't want to trigger raven beak's golden armor, here's the simplest thing to do. Only fire at raven beak during the cut scenes, third time is a charm. Once you get this, he's actually one of the easier bosses.

Lol holy ****!!!! You are an absolute beast, man! I can only imagine what you went through to be able to record this without taking any damage. I've exhausted my patience with this fight for the day so I'll study this game plan and try again later. Thanks!

I couldn't beat this game until I saw your video. Thank you

Man, this boss was driven me nuts. I wouldn't have beaten it without your guide. Thanks a lot

Before the guide I died 7 times once I saw the guide I passed it to the first time, knowing what to do really helps

I was about to give up on this until I followed your advice. I managed to finish him with most of my health intact after multiple attempts. The power bomb helped and dealt with the sun orbs swiftly 👍

Top gameplay and easy to follow strats and guides. Happy I stumbled upon this miracle channel now have another Metroid game down in the books loved this game so much

Power bombs for the sun thing, of course! Thanks for that, could do the first 2 phases fine, beat him next try after seeing that

Well played. Thanks for that tip about the power bomb, I had no idea

Finally beat it bro thanks! This helped a lot

Thanks man! That was very helpful, especially at some of his attacks, i didn't know how to evade them nor that with the super bomb. Cheers!

Dude I just wanted to thank you. I couldn't get past phase 3 and was ready to just quit. Your guide helped me beat it. Cheers!

Faced him for the 1st time and immediately got mopped 😂 thank God for YT guides 😅😅

Why did you say "let's go Brandon"?

This was so useful. Thank you. Without this I would never have finished the game.

Thanks for the guide, you make it look easy.

You're a lifesaver! I was about to give up. I couldn't figure out what each color shift represented. Time to give this another go, wish me luck!

Thank you so much. This is now the first Metroid game I have ever beaten. That was a hell of an ending. Left as many questions as answers.

Thank you very much for this guide. After 2 hours I had given up and exited my game. On a whim I decided to look up a guide to help for the next time I played and found your video. My dumb ass didn't realize that you could use a power bomb to take out the large orb. Even worse is I hadn't collected many of the tanks in the game so I was at a health disadvantage. After viewing your video I tried the boss once more and beat it first try, with full health to boot. For that, I will do something I never do which is like your video. I will also subscribe even though I wouldn't have otherwise.

Thanks dude. The first try after watching your guide I made it.

Video helped me a lot man, especially with dodging in phase 2. thank you!

Great video. Lots of people post guides like this. But this channel is good because the dude is not trying to be funny or overly self promotional.

This boss handed me my arse time and time again. Thanks for the help!

Very amazing fight! First Phase: average, second: hard, third: The Sun! Final: The Glory!

You know that boss is ridiculous when the youtube video is 8 minutes long

Does anyone know the differences in how much damage missiles do vs beam? I never know if I should be using ICE missiles, fast normal beam shots, charged shots, or storm missiles... especially in the "free damage" phases after a successful counter.

Thank you for this guide, I wouldn't have made it without you!

Ugggh! When he turns gold!!!! That part drove me crazy. Thank for showing us the counter.

Dude thank you so much. I would not have been able to beat Raven Beak if not for this.

Very helpful guide, thanks! Raven Beak was already starting to piss me off, but it's actually a fun boss fight, once you've got the hang of it. 😁

one of the best bosses in any game truly. challenging but fair and this game has such fun mechanics, all the looking around for items and stuff finally leading up to an intense fight.

Great stuff, thanks

I just beat the game... Under 8 hours, I struggled quite a lot with this boss, wanted to check this guide to see what I could've done better, didn't thought about the power bomb for the sun thingy, I was simply having a hard time dodging the energy surges as well as the beams... It was really bad Should I try to get normal mode under 4h before attempting hard mode?

this was a big help, i only seem to find videos of people fighting him flawlessly, no one explains the attacks so i understand what im looking at. only thing im missing is how to continue the counter, i dont seem to get into the counter extra damage mode when i counter

THANK YOU! I first tried on my own, got owned!! XD Found a guide, got slightly better, but couldn't even beat faze 1! After watching this I got further for each try, and made it in about 5 attempts!! Managed to F up the fight after the battle...Got Game Over...Thought I had to go again! D= Was ready for it though, cause when I did make it, I made it with somewhat ease! But no, there is a temp save after the boss fight, thankfully! =P

I have not beat him yet, but I have to say fighting this boss is exhilarating. The events before this just adds so much depth to the fight.

This guide made this boss easy peezy thanks bro!

Flash Shift is one of the most useful power-ups EVER in Metroid series.

This really helped out a lot. Thanks you!

Raven Beak at first reminded me of a secret boss in a KH game like Lingering Will or something, but once you learn the pattern he's actually very easy to deal with. Still one of the more epic first time bosses I've ever experienced in a Metroid Game. Wish I could fight him for the first time all over again. What a ride.

Really thank you for the video, i was super stuck con that battle

Thank you for the video, took me an hour of failed attempts. All your tips really helped with phase 2. Phase 1 wasn't as bad and phase 3 took 1 or 2 attempts.

Watched the video and made it the first try after hours of frustration. Thank you.

Thanks man! That mini Sun was pissing me off. Didn't know that you could destroy it

I don't normally like stuff but youve earned it

That 2nd phase was a pain in the ass

I appreciate the help, i managed to defeat him after about 20 tries haha thanks man :)

I couldn't even beat the first phase without this guide but now I have to do missile and energy tank farming as I keep running out of missiles

I want you to know that I was about to give up on this game until I saw this video so I want to thank you personally for helping me beat Metroid dread

Thanks your video guide helped me score a win on my first attempt on the final boss. I lost to every boss and mini boss, but you explained everything perfectly. Much appreciated.

Counter, then only shoot regular canon is the part left out. After regular Canon starts sequence shoot whatever you want.

I grinded this fight for at least 90 mins. Watched this vid and then beat him first try. Thank you!!!

I beat him without powerbombs for the supernova, I wish I knew that 😂😂😂

I don't think he can be damaged at all in phase 1 unless you counter attack. I don't really see any difference. Now I'm getting every time to phase II, with maxed health even. But MAN. It just doesn't go down!

Seeing you get through this fight without taking any damage at all makes me want to cry. I’ve been losing this fight for two days straight, have lost count of how many times I’ve failed even after watching all these strategy guides. I’m thinking it might be better to just give up and watch how the game ends on KZfaq.

I had no idea that when he flashed gold he was invincible, just kept firing my missiles and wondered why he wasn't dying haha. This guide helped a lot. Thanks.

Yo great guide bro. Thanks a ton cause I was having a hard time with this boss

You're a legend for making this man, cutscene just started so I think I beat him haha

The super bomb trick for the super nova attack in the final phase really helped me. Also is the Storm Missile get a boost if you get all five lock ons or could firing one or two volleys at a time be as effective if that just fits your strategy better?

This video is awesome. Thank you. 🙏

Glad it's not just me, this boss is tough as nails. It's doing my head in!!

Something I learned: during phase two, try to keep Raven Beak in the center of the arena. If he's hugging a wall when he locks on to Samus, you won't be able to avoid his barrage attack and will have to take a hit or several.

The game was pretty fair with its difficulty until the boss. In typical Nintendo fashion, there just had to be a very specific trivial way to progress. I figured out he was invincible when gold but didn't realize it was all about just countering at first. Once i saw this video and learned that, it was pretty easy. This video saved me! Thanks man

I gave up on the game for months because of this fight. But your video helped me immediately!! Thanks a lot a sub to you!

I might be wrong about this, but the trick to beat him was introduced in the beginning. Countering takes out the shield and can be attacked. That was weird.

Spenr two hours yesterday learning to beat this chozo but now I'm gonna go back and beat it with ease. Thanks!

you are the only reason I was able to beat this game. Thanks.

You are amazing and a true E-Warrior! Game on!!! 🎮

Thanks for video, just finished it. Now for metroid prime 👍💪

He's pretty tough, but once I got used to him, he was really fun to fight against. The second phase can still be tricky, and I was more likely to die against him there due to the lack of counterable attacks. I quickly figured out the supernova could be countered with Super Bombs, and it was a good source of healing with that in mind, making Phase 3 a bit easier. But overall, Ashkar is one of the final bosses I loved fighting the most. Not as much as Metroid Prime, but it was very close. At the least, he's probably the coolest 2.5D Metroid boss. The stuff that I love about the best bosses in the Zelda or Metroid franchises are how they reward you for finding hidden items throughout the games. As a point of comparison, the final bosses of Fusion made most of your upgrades useless because SA-X can only be hurt by the Charge Beam or Screw Attack, Omega Metroid can only be hurt by the Ice Beam, and neither can be hurt by power bombs or missiles by extension. Metroid Prime is easier to fight if you have all the missile upgrades to use your power missiles and ice spreader on him more frequently, and the power bombs can kill the Fission Metroids easier. For Raven Beak, the storm missiles will really mess him up and the power bombs can more easily destroy his projectiles to get more of your own, and you can have up to 15 of them. It's not even required, just more comfortable and easy if you do collect them all.

My guy out here making it look super easy and not even taking a hit. That's a subscribe from me!

This helped so much thank you

Thanks this was a god send.

This really did help!!! Managed to defeat raven beak in 3 tries lol

Thank you, you literally helped me beat the game!

Very useful, thank you !

Def needed this to win the last fight. Thanks!

I initially thought you were supposed to shinsespark during his taunt.

Did this man just beat ravenbeak without taking damage, big props

Excellent guide and video. 5 stars. Thank you.

great guide, well shown and explained with nothing unnecessary added. but yeah, im not very good at games really and hard games like soulslikes i just generally dont bother with, but i beat samus returns and love this series so i really wanted to push through this. thanks a lot dude. wow, really hard fight though - i think it's well made in that makes you use your whole arsenal of weapons but sometimes it doesnt feel like a puzzle/memory game with how many attack patterns there is. i think the best boss in the game was the big tentacle monster

Saved me hours of struggling. Thank you!

Your guide helped me so much and I just beat him! Thank you!

The first time I tried it and knew nothing it does within 2 seconds thank you for this

Good stuff, I was foregoing storm missile for ice missiles, didn't know you could keep them targetted while evading!

Thanks mate

I’m actually up to RB on my play through now so I’m watching this video about 10 times before I attempt lol

I made slow but steady progress all the way up till the last phase and at that point I just gave up. I could not figure out how to get rid of sun looking thing but after I watched this I beat him on my first try lol
