Metroid Prime Hunters Walkthrough: Missile Expansions

Here you’ll find the location for every Missile Expansion in Metroid Prime Hunters, as well as detailed explanations on how to get them and what powerups you’ll need to acquire them!

 

Missile Expansion #1

Location: Data Shine 02, Celestial Archives (First visit)

Requirements: Morph Ball

 

After seeing Kanden, simply get into Morph Ball form and roll into the tunnel that the Hunter escaped through. The tunnel is a dead end, but you’ll roll right into MISSILE EXPANSION #1!

 

Missile Expansion #2

Location: Alinos Gateway, Alinos (First Visit)

Requirements: Morph Ball, Bombs

 

After landing in Alinos, head straight and you should see some rubble to the left of the main door. Climb up and Morph down into a tunnel. Bomb jump up two blocks to grab this MISSILE EXPANSION #2.

 

Missile Expansion #3

Location: High Ground, Alinos (First visit)

Requirements: None

 

Once you walk into the room, a cutscene will play and Spire will be attacking you with long ranged Magmaul attacks. Ignore him, press forward and walk up the staircase under him to the second level of the structure. Follow the pathway to the right and you’ll walk right into MISSILE EXPANSION #3.

 

Missile Expansion #4

Location: Cortex CPU, Vesper Defense Outpost (First Visit)

Requirements: Morph Ball, Bombs

 

Navigate through the Morph Ball tunnel and you’ll see this Expansion floating fairly high, out of your reach. Perform a double bomb jump (lay a bomb, wait a second, lay a second bomb, and once the first bomb goes off, lay a third bomb at the apex of your blast upwards) and you’ll grab MISSILE EXPANSION #4!

 

Missile Expansion #5

Location: Ice Hive, Arcterra (First visit)

Requirements: Judicator, Morph Ball

 

Once you’ve grabbed the Judicator and the second Artifact, most of the shields in the room will give away. Take care of any remaining purple shields and walk towards the hallway covered with thorns ans weeds on the floors and walls. There will be a small hole in the wall that you can roll through, leading you directly to a ledge housing MISSILE EXPANSION #5.

 

Missile Expansion #6

Location: Incubation Vault 03, Celestial Archives (Second Visit)

Requirements: None

 

From the Docking Bay, take the second-rightmost portal (fourth over if you go from left to right) and you’ll be warped to the upper ledge of the Incubation Vault 03. MISSILE EXPANSION #6 will be right beside you.

 

Missile Expansion #7

Location: Alinos Perch, Alinos (Second Visit)

Requirements: Magmaul

 

Blast open the Magmual shield at the top of the Perch, past the two Voldrum spawners, and go through the door. Turn left and walk down a bit and you’ll see a small alcove. You’ll find MISSILE EXPANSION #7 just sitting there for the taking!

 

Missile Expansion #8

Location: Subterranean, Arcterra (Second visit)

Requirements: None

 

Navigate your way through the force field maze in the upper part of the Subterranean room, and get yourself to the very back. You should have a straight pathway to a smell elevator in the middle of the room that will take you down to the lower level, where if you walk forwards a bit, MISSILE EXPANSION #8 will be yours for the taking!

 

Missile Expansion #9

Location: Fuel Stack, Vesper Defense Outpost (Second Visit)

Requirements: None

 

After hauling butt and activating the terminal to seal the breach in the Fuel Shaft, you’ll want to navigate towards the bottom of the room. Eventually, you’ll come to a spiralling pathway that will lead you to the final Expansion – MISSILE EXPANSION #9 just sitting on a small pad!
