Metroid: Samus Returns Guide › Extras

Walkthrough Quick Reference

Beating the game in under four hours is no easy feat, so to take the edge off a little bit, have a look at our Walkthrough Quick Reference Guide. This section not only replicates the maps from the Walkthrough, but our tips and tactics are truncated to bite-sized reminders of where to go, what to do, and when to do it. This section is meant for those who’ve already beaten the game, so expect spoilers ahead.

A quick note before you move on: we placed a lot of numbered tips on the maps to serve as directional beacons to steer you on the right course. As you well know by now, the areas in this game are often maze-like and easy to get lost in. All that said, when you see a tip in this Quick Reference Guide that says “This way,” you can bet we’re steering you toward that location to get you in-line with the next tip.
