Description Thardus boss battle from metroid prime 1.Β 

Yeah Thardus is actually a bunch of floating rock animated with phazon energy, he appears on the Pendrana drifts sector, and it's actually a pretty fun and intense battle.
It was weird making this one, I mean it's just drawing rocks, but it was a lot of fun to make this one I enjoyed making the blizzard effect.


Here's the boss battle music:

This will be my last work for this 2014, it sure was an interesting year, improving my techniques, learning lots of new things, playing many new videogames, hope next year we see something official for a new metroid game.
Happy new year and all that stuff.

Thardus kind of puts the Talos from The Legend of Zelda BoTW to shame.Β

Say did I tell you that when I first fought the Alpha Blogg I killed him on my very first try when I first fought him. At that moment I wasn't prepared to fight him but every time I replay Prime 2 I always prepare myself to fight him.

I had the hardest time with Alpha Blogg. That whole twirly charging shit always got me because I alwlays tried to charge up a super missle xp still not as bad as the Omega Pirate

What's your favorite of the Prime Series excluding Prime Hunters and Pinball.

Distilledwasteland In reply to SkalopultonDraw20 [2015-01-05 18:05:37 +0000 UTC]

Probably prime 2 echos. Prime 3 was great and the first was classic, but 2 was my personal favorite. What got me first was the music. I played prime pinball a bit, but lost it and I also played hunters. All of the prime series was fun.

SkalopultonDraw20 In reply to Distilledwasteland [2015-01-06 02:34:28 +0000 UTC]

Prime 3 is my favorite of the series. But I haven't played the DS titles.

Really? Prime hunters was fun because it was like playing the other primes but on a smaller screen and with a stylus. Prime pinball was a great time killer.Β

Any way favorite boss from Primes 1, 2, and 3.

Mine are:
Prime 1: Meta Ridley
Prime 2: Quadraxis
Prime 3: Gandrayda

Mine are:
Prime 1: Omega Pirate
Prime 2: Dark Samus
Prime 3: ..I'll have to replay it. Dark Samus is probably my favorite, but I also have only played the game once all the way through

The final Dark Samus fight in Prime 2? That was one of my least favorite fight in the game.

SkalopultonDraw20 In reply to Distilledwasteland [2015-01-10 01:47:13 +0000 UTC]

I thought the fight didn't have that much epic ness. The attacks are so simple to dodge. The song is ok but it's not her theme. I think the 2nd Dark Samus fight was the best Dark Samus fight in Prime 2.

Distilledwasteland In reply to SkalopultonDraw20 [2015-01-10 07:01:08 +0000 UTC]

I had some trouble with the fight. By some I mean a lot.

SkalopultonDraw20 In reply to Distilledwasteland [2015-01-11 03:24:22 +0000 UTC]

How? You got a few new moves. Assuming if you got the Sunburst for the Light Beam and the Darkburst for the Dark Beam.

Distilledwasteland In reply to SkalopultonDraw20 [2015-01-11 06:28:55 +0000 UTC]

I didn't look around to terribly much. I goth the darkburst but not the sunburst

SkalopultonDraw20 In reply to Distilledwasteland [2015-01-17 03:10:51 +0000 UTC]

Well for me I always get the Sunburst before I go fight Dark Samus for the 2nd time.

I just kinda went with the game. I stumbled apon the darkburst

SkalopultonDraw20 In reply to Distilledwasteland [2015-01-18 05:47:48 +0000 UTC]

Well my main reason for Dark Samus 2 being my favorite Dark Samus fight is because you fight her on an elevator. I just think fights on an elevator are cool.
