The Alimbic civilization once controlled an incredible amount of space, ruling with a firm but fair hand. The advancement of this civilization is far beyond what most (if not all) civilizations have achieved, making it a troubling mystery as to what happened to wipe out the population of such a great and prosperous people. When a telepathic message about the great power hidden away in the Alimbic Cluster reaches the brains of the most exceptional and deadly Bounty Hunters, the race is on to try and find the great power, including the Federation's poster girl, Samus Aran.

This mission promises to be incredibly tough, with six Rival Bounty Hunters, hoards of Guardians and lesser enemies, and super-powered protectors of each Octolith, Samus may be in for too tough of a bout this time around.

Well luckily for the Federation and the galaxy, IGN has decided to assure Samus of victory, offering all that a person would need to know for this adventure in the form of a handy, dandy guide! If the various Sub-Weapons or Items are confusing in purpose or operation, if the Adventure Mode is causing trouble, or Game basics are just what the Bounty Hunter ordered, this IGN Guide has it all, giving everything from basic to advanced knowledge, making the Alimbic Cluster mission seem like nothing more than a stroll through the park!

One of the best ways to take down Cretaphid is to obtain the magmul weapon. With the magmul armed and ready you stand a great chance of victory. If used properly, can take out two or three eyes at once. Just aim at the center of a group of blue eyes. They must be pretty close to each other for magmul to work its magic. Use your missile launcher to take out the crystal as it is easist to aim with.

If you are stuck at Slench 2A or any boss past that and keep running out of ammo or life, then just skip it and go to Celestial Archives. Yes you can do that and while you beat the archives stage, be sure to pick up four UA Expansions (that's 120 extra shots), 1 energy tank and 1 missile expansion.

Then skip Slench 3B and go to Alinos. Be sure to pick up 2 UA Expansions, (that's 60+120 extra shots) and an energy tank.

Then skip Cretaphid V3 and head to Acterra. Pick up another 2 UA Expansions, (now a total of 240 extra shots) and a missile expansion.

skip Cretaphid V4 and head to V.D.O. While beating this final level, be sure to pick up 1 UA Expansion and 1 Missle Expansion. Now head back to Slench 2A and try again. You should now have 270 extra shots plus 198 extra life. You should find it easier.
