How to Get the Fusion Suit in Metroid: Samus Returns. Metroid: Samus Returns finally brings back everyone’s favorite bounty hunter, with all the gadgets and suits you’d expect. Samus Aran's Fusion Suit is the result of radical alterations to her Power Suit during the opening scenes of Metroid Fusion. Its creation was an unexpected side.
Not long after the destruction of Mother Brain and the Space Pirates on planet Zebes, Samus finds herself assisting the Galactic Federation with a routine excavation of an area on planet SR388 - former home of the parasitic Metroid lifeforms.While exploring underground caverns, Samus and a group of Federation scientists encounter irregular hostile creatures.Acting quickly, Samus blasts a monster to defend herself and the scientists. But this is no ordinary specimen. Once the creature explodes, a weird gelatinous yellow lifeform emerges and quickly attacks Samus' body. With no obvious signs of damage, Samus thinks nothing of the encounter.But trouble was afoot. On route to the Federation's scientific research facility, Samus unexpectedly falls unconscious on board her ship and drifts into an asteroid field.The scientists aboard the Federation vessel manage to rescue Samus from the wreckage of her ship, but discover that a new parasitic lifeform - the creature that attacked Samus on the planet - had multiplied within her while attacking her vital bodily organs and nervous system.This faceless creature which the scientists dub 'X' relentlessly invades Samus' Power Suit, corrupting most of her armour. While unconscious, the scientists cannot remove Samus' Power Suit from her body without killing her.
With only a fraction of a chance for survival, one of the scientists suddenly devises a plan.A cell culture of the last infant Metroid recovered from SR388 was preserved before Ridley stole the being, and quick studies of the X revealed their predatory nature to any form of sentient life, killing the host body and using their DNA to replicate and mimic the host. It seemed the only natural predator of the X were Metroids, and after Samus had ironically wiped them out on the planet, the X were able to climb to the peak of the food chain with little effort.A Metroid vaccine was quickly prepared and injected into Samus without delay. The vaccine instantly destroyed every last X parasite in Samus' body, confirming the Metroid theory. Samus made a full recovery, albeit with a radically changed Power Suit and most of her abilities lost.During her recovery, the scientists informed Samus that her damaged Power Suit parts were sent to the Biologic Research Station - a giant space station in orbit above SR388. It was hoped the parts could be repaired while further study of the X could safely take place. But not everything went according to plan.
The last transmission they received from the station beamed evidence of a large explosion taking place in the capsules the parts were sent in.Once Samus fully recovered she departed to investigate the explosion aboard the station. Equipped with a new ship containing a highly advanced AI computer to offer navigation and mission guidance, Samus will need all the help she can get to survive the nasty surprises awaiting her on the station.Detailed at the back of the game's manual you'll find a brief historical account of the Metroids, where it reveals that the Chozo civilization did indeed create the parasites for the sole purpose of destroying the X, so once again we find Samus tied to fulfilling another Chozo legacy.
How to Get the Fusion Suit in Metroid: Samus ReturnsMetroid: Samus Returns finally brings back everyone’s favorite bounty hunter, with all the gadgets and suits you’d expect. The game does hold a couple bonuses for longtime fans, including an unlockable Fusion Mode that boosts up the difficulty even more and gives Samus the Fusion Suit from Metroid Fusion.The bad news here, however, is that there’s only one way to get access to the Fusion Suit and Fusion Mode. To do so you’ll need to have purchased the amiibo two-pack for Metroid: Samus Returns, that includes the crouching Samus and Metroid figures. Fusion Mode can only be unlocked with the Metroid amiibo unfortunately, and it comes as a game completion reward. This means that you’ll first have to beat the game normally, as well as use the Metroid figure to unlock the mode and suit.The instant use for the Metroid amiibo on the other hand, will do a scan of the map and show you any nearby Metroids.
The Samus amiibo can be used to unlock an exclusive gallery of Metroid II art, while its instant use will grant you a one-time bonus of an extra Energy Tank.Considering the amiibo are incredibly hard to find at this point, it’s unfortunately that there isn’t another way to unlock Fusion Mode, but we’ll make sure to update you if anything changes on that.More on Metroid: Samus ReturnsMetroid: Samus Returns is a full-blown remake of Metroid II on the original Game Boy. While the story stays largely the same the game sports a brand new 2.5D graphical style, along with a number of gameplay enhancements.
