The Alimbic civilization once controlled an incredible amount of
space, ruling with a firm but fair hand. The advancement of this
civilization is far beyond what most (if not all) civilizations
have achieved, making it a troubling mystery as to what happened to
wipe out the population of such a great and prosperous people. When
a telepathic message about the great power hidden away in the
Alimbic Cluster reaches the brains of the most exceptional and
deadly Bounty Hunters, the race is on to try and find the great
power, including the Federations poster girl, Samus Aran.
This mission promises to be incredibly tough, with six Rival
Bounty Hunters, hoards of Guardians and lesser enemies, and
super-powered protectors of each Octolith, Samus may be in for too
tough of a bout this time around.
Well luckily for the Federation and the galaxy, IGN has decided
to assure Samus of victory, offering all that a person would need
to know for this adventure in the form of a handy, dandy guide! If
the various Sub-Weapons or Items are confusing in purpose or
operation, if the Adventure Mode is causing trouble, or Game basics
are just what the Bounty Hunter ordered, this IGN Guide has it all,
giving everything from basic to advanced knowledge, making the
Alimbic Cluster mission seem like nothing more than a stroll
through the park!

Hint: Morph Jump
Turn into a ball then lay down a bomb. You have to be quick. As
soon as the bomb explodes turn back into normal mode and jump and
you will go higher than normal.
Hint - Ripping Cretaphids Eyes Out With A Splenda-Blender
One of the best ways to take down Cretaphid is to obtain the magmul
weapon. With the magmul armed and ready you stand a great chance of
victory. If used properly, can take out two or three eyes at once.
Just aim at the center of a group of blue eyes. They must be pretty
close to each other for magmul to work its magic. Use your missile
launcher to take out the crystal as it is easist to aim with.
Hint - Stage Bouncing
If you are stuck at Slench 2A or any boss past that and keep
running out of ammo or life, then just skip it and go to Celestial
Archives. Yes you can do that and while you beat the archives
stage, be sure to pick up four UA Expansions (thats 120 extra
shots), 1 energy tank and 1 missile expansion.
Then skip Slench 3B and go to Alinos. Be sure to pick up 2 UA
Expansions, (thats 60+120 extra shots) and an energy tank.
Then skip Cretaphid V3 and head to Acterra. Pick up another 2 UA
Expansions, (now a total of 240 extra shots) and a missile
expansion.
skip Cretaphid V4 and head to V.D.O. While beating this final
level, be sure to pick up 1 UA Expansion and 1 Missle Expansion.
Now head back to Slench 2A and try again. You should now have 270
extra shots plus 198 extra life. You should find it easier.
Hint - Freeze Ray (Unlimited Range)
In multiplayer mode, if you are playing as Noxus, usually, it is
only possible to freeze opponents by firing a charged Judicator
blast at close range. However, it is possible to freeze opponents
from almost any distance.
To do this, just charge the Judicator blast, but instead of aiming
at the opponent, aim at the ground. Make sure to be facing your
opponent. Then, release the blast and your opponent will freeze on
the spot, no matter how far away they are.
*NOTE: This will only work if your opponent is on the same level
ground as you are. Also, it will not work on Trace if he turns
invisible.
Unlockable - Imperialist
Go to Planet Arcterra. Then, go to the Sic Transit and look for a
door with an orange force field. Go through the door using the
Magmaul and you will be in a cave with enemies and a force field
blocking your way to the Imperialist. Destroy all the enemies in
the cave and the force field will disappear. Next, go to where the
force field was and you will be attacked by an Artic Spawn. Defeat
the Artic Spawn and the Imperialist will appear next to a door with
a red force field. Get the Imperialist and you will have that
weapon.
Hint: Rankings
There are ranks in the game (Bounty Hunter, Super Hunter, and
Elite Hunter) that appear near the WiFi connection button on the
multiplayer menu. While Bounty Hunter is the default ranking, Super
Hunter requires you get 40 points, while Elite Hunter requires you
to get 140 points.
A simple way to get these points is to get two Nintendo DS units
and do a multiplayer game from a single card (known as Single Card
Play). Play any game and win a battle (Battle Mode is best because
you can set the kills and time as low as you want). For winning a
battle, you get one point (though if you lose, you lose a point).
In this way, you can accumulate points easily to increase your
character ranking.
