In Metroid Prime Trilogy, very noticeable bloom lighting effects were added to the Thardus battle.ĭerek Bonikowski animation Trivia The animation for the rock that hits Samus on the head after defeating Thardus is named "rock_inyoass" in the game's data. This is supported by a Derek Bonikowski character animation (see below) that depicts Thardus with an orange core instead of blue. In the film, the main character (Jason Nesmith / Commander / Captain Peter Quincy Taggart, portrayed by Tim Allen) comments that Gorignak is ".a rock! It doesn't have any vulnerable spots!".Īccording to Sneath, Thardus was intended to be fought in a "large lava pit arena" (in the Magmoor Caverns), but it was moved to the Phendrana Drifts due to time constraints. Jack Mathews confirmed it was Galaxy Quest in a 2022 interview, and said Mark Pacini had seen it and came up with Thardus afterwards. Thardus was inspired by Gorignak from Galaxy Quest Sneath originally revealed this in a 2010 interview with Shinesparkers, but he could not recall the movie. The animated particles of snow, dust and rock fragments were added later in production by another artist. Thardus consisted of one model, with each part animated separately. He indicated that despite Thardus' appearance, it was actually easy to model, although he was unable to speak to the challenges of animating it. Mike Sneath created the model for Thardus based on Greg Luzniak's original concept art. Barring unforeseen setbacks, it can be installed on Phazon mine patrol by Lotus Milestone." Development notes
Pending stabilization of the Thardus venture, we will expand Inanimation research to include other native Tallon IV materials." "Research on Tallon IV is expanding into new areas. Access is strictly prohibited until further notice." Quarantine Monitor Security breaches resulting in massive casualties have occurred. "Project Titan is suspended indefinitely. This has rendered our efforts to train and discipline subject useless." Its body structure, composed of Phazon ore, appears nearly invulnerable. "Quarantine specimen exhibits highly aggressive behavior. All experiments have been suspended pending pacification of area." Relocation is recommended due to increased violent activity." Research Lab Aether "Project Titan specimen is immobilized in Quarantine Cave. Related scans Map Station (Phendrana Drifts) Humorously, a large rock hits Samus in the head after she moves out of the way of the falling boulders, making a sound similar to that of a metal drum. Samus must continue the process, until the creature explodes once the seventh weak spot (which incidentally takes more hits than the others) is destroyed, leaving behind the Spider Ball. He also noticeably speeds up at this point and will hurl additional rocks, as he only has one more weak point that must be attacked.
After the sixth weak spot is destroyed, the creature will dispel the ice storm, so visibility returns to normal. Then it will unleash an ice storm, making it hard to see in the Combat Visor. Thardus will continually switch weak spots until the third weak spot is hit. Regardless of how the Phazon is exposed, she must then switch back to the Combat Visor and fire at the weak spot. At this point, laying a single Bomb in its path will instantly smash open the weak point. When using the Thermal Visor, Samus must take caution as her thermal vision can be temporarily impaired by a destroyed charged rock Thardus hurls at her.Īlternatively, Samus can wait until the beast begins to roll around the room. Once Samus hits the spot a few times, Thardus will release enormous amounts of thermal energy as its Phazon core is exposed, making the Visor overload. To defeat the behemoth, Samus must use the Thermal Visor to locate Thardus's weak spot, then fire at it with a weapon, preferably a single Super Missile.
It can also slam its fists into the ground and send an Ultrafrigid Beam at Samus, and lastly Thardus will curl up into a ball and attempt to crush the enemy. Its primary attack is to animate three small rocks and cause them to rush at the enemy these rocks can be destroyed for ammo and energy. Thardus controls the rocks in its domain and the icy weather that resides over the drifts.
