Energy tanks locations

Search the indicated locations to find the energy tanks. Each tank increases Samus Aran’s total health by 100 points. Many energy tanks are easy to find, but some can be hard to find. Use the Scan Pulse ability to help find them more easily. When activated, it will scan an entire zone for hidden objects and secret passages. Breakable blocks in the geometry will also be highlighted for a very short amount of time. Use this power whenever it recharges in new areas to find hidden item locations.

Area 0 – Surface

    1. It is in the room to the right of the first Metroid Boss encounter. This is the long shaft room directly beneath the Scan Pulse Chozo ruin. At the bottom, use morphball to shrink and collect it. It is left of the Charge Beam Chozo statue.

Area 1

    2. It is located above the first Metroid encounter in Area 1. Bomb the upper-right corner of the arena to locate it. You cannot miss it, as you will hit this energy tank while leaving the locked room.

Area 2

    3. Teleport to the middle teleport station in Area 2. It is on a long two-block vertical shaft, next to the path that leads to the High Jump upgrade. From the teleport station, drop down and use the Wave Beam to open the door blocked by an alien. From the Wave Beam door, go left, down, and right in the bottom hallway to reach the energy tank.

Area 3

    4. In the section of Area 3 with the hot room, the winding path eventually leads to an Alpha Metroid battle and puzzle with the Grapple Beam under lava. Immediately before entering the lower entrance to the Varia Suit zone, the energy tank can be found below the door. Use the Scan Pulse to locate it.

Area 4

    5. After lowering the first poison pool in Area 4, you will find the energy tank when using the grappling hook to reach the elevator. You cannot miss this energy tank.

    6. It is found in the tall shaft between the first Zeta Metroid encounter and the small lava-filled room.
