Metroid Prime: Omega Pirate

(1/1)

Caidoz:
Having a difficult time with this boss in Hard Mode.
On another web site, there was some info saying you could use Power Bombs to hurt him in his vulnerable form, but I haven't had any luck setting a Power Bomb by the pool he is at, then getting out of the ball, and turning on the X-ray visor--it never has inflicted damage.  Anybody have any tips for this guy on hard?
I have 13 energy tanks, 220 missles, and 6 power bombs.

Amasawa:
I've used power bombs on OP before and they hurt him bad; the bomb just needs to be close to his weak point (core) as possible when you set it off, so that the explosion hits the core for a long time.

Best results were, roll up to the edge of the phazon pool he's in (without moving so close to the pool that Samus takes damage), place one regular bomb, and when it blasts Samus into the air, drop a power bomb at the peak of the jump.  Morph out and switch to x-ray as usual, and then back away a little if you can manage it, cuz OP thrashes around like crazy when he gets hit by a pbomb and will prolly dog you if you don't)
