The new Metroid Prime Remaster is here and finally, fans of the game don’t need to play the old one using their dusty Gamecubes! Instead, they can play it on their Switch instead! The game features a modern graphical overhaul as well as some quality-of-life changes in the controls while also keeping the feel, aesthetics, mechanics, and gameplay of the original.
This isn’t a remaster that spits on the first game, but an actual good remaster that keeps old fans happy! Of course, for new players, the game might be a bit confusing so in this guide, we’ll show you where to find all the Energy Tanks in Metroid Prime!
All 14 Energy Tanks Locations – Metroid Prime Remastered
When going through the different locations in Metroid Prime you might stumble across these Energy Tanks. These things when picked up will increase your Energy Capacity so it’s great to get all of them so you can easily defeat the different bosses on the map. Now let’s see where they are!
Energy Tank #1
The first one on the list can be found in the Cargo Freight Lift to Deck Gamma area in the Tallon Overworld map.
You can use the image above as a reference. There you’ll find a blocked area shown below, you can shoot a missile at it to clear the way, and behind it is your first energy tank!
Energy Tank #2
The next one is in the Hydro Access Tunnel also in the Tallon Overworld map. For this, you’ll need to go to your morph ball form and go to the “2D” part of the area. Go up, then right then go up until you reach the Energy Tank.
Remember that you’ll need to use the Morph Ball Bomb to boost your way up there!
Energy Tank #3
The next one is in the Transport Access North area of the Chozo Ruins map.
There, you’ll find a door that you can go through and right there is another energy tank!
Energy Tank #4
The next one is in the Main Plaza area of the Chozo Ruins, You can reach the area by going through the Vault first.
Once you open the door to the Main Plaza, the Energy Tank will be there.
Energy Tank #5
The next one is in the Training Chamber in the Chozo Ruins.
There you’ll need to go to your Morph Ball form and go to the center where there are two sockets you need to reach, you’ll need to use your momentum as well as the boost ball to go to both.
Once you do that a new path will appear via cutscene and you’ll need to use the Spider Ball to get there.
Once you go through that, the Energy Tank will be right in the room that you get into.
Energy Tank #6
The next one is in the Furnace in the Chozo Ruins.
When entering from the West Furnace Access, instead of going up using the Spider Ball, go down to the hole next to it.
Then go to the rightmost area and go through the hole there.
You’ll get into a room where there’s another Energy Tank!
Energy Tank #7
The next one is in the Hall of the Elders in the Chozo Ruin, you’ll need to go into your Morph Ball form and enter the hands of the statue.
The Statue will launch you into a Spider Ball Track that will lead to a socket you can power up. This will show 3 more sockets that you will appear at the back of the area.
Go there and use your Ice Beam to shoot at the middle to unlock it, then go in there using your Morph Ball form to activate it.
A new path will appear in front of the statue and all you need to do is get into the statue’s hands again.
This will launch you to the new area where there’s another Energy Tank!
