Topic: Metroid Prime 1: NEED HELP!

[beaky3]

I have beaten the game except for 1 Chozo Artifact, the one in the Sunchamber. I cannot get up the suntower to get to it cause the runic symbols i need to scan are at the top. Anyone's ideas are welcome!

Aren't there spider ball tracks leading up to it?

[beaky3]

Yes there are spider tracks but i need to get the symbols to open the gate blocking the tracks. I think the symbols are at the top.

no all four symbols are at the bootom floor.  Look behind the pillars all the way to the top.  Then try looking all around each ofnthe pillars up and down. They are there, its been a while sence i played it but im sure all 4 runes are on the bottom floor. Hopefully my memory is to far off.

also the runic symbols are not the ones you see at the top. Those light up when you scan the ones on the bottom floor. Look all round there you will find them.

What I did, was to flip out my scanner and just keep running it over the terrains whereever I was. In that way, I could quickly see if something lighted up in bright orange or red because it had not been scanned.

Why donĀ“t you just consult the guide found at cube.ign.com or gamefaqs.com?

In any event, I recall that there is one runic symbol near a couple of crates inside some weeds. Next, there is one right in front of the bridge which you jump onto in order to proceed higher on the ledges. Then there is one on the tree higher up, and finally one on the the last ledge you stand on before jumping up to the sunchamber acces gate!

Hope that helps. Otherwise it will  help others who may not yet have cracked that puzzle.
