How do you get the grapple beam in Metroid Prime 1?

Answer 1

First, you have to go to Phazon Mines. Second, you must get the morph ball power bomb. Then go back to the room with the rotatable morph ball tracks. On the third level of the room, there is a pile of bendezium rock that you need to blow up with the power bomb. Then rotate the tower around correctly so that the yellow tracks line up. The grapple beam is at the top of the room right through a door. There are two doors however, so if you enter a door and don't see the grapple beam, stop and change the morph ball tracks to the opposite side of the room. Then you should be able to get the grapple beam and swing accross the room to the other door.

Answer 2

It's located underwater somewhere in the phendrana drifts I believe. It's one of the last items you get though, so don't expect to get it anytime soon if you are in the beginning. Sorry I don't have more info. Try to Google it.

Answer 3

A: To get the grapple beam you first must beat Crocomire: he's some kind of

ugly red monster that you have to push back into some lava. But to get

to him, you must first get either the Power Bombs OR the Wave Beam. I

cannot tell you the path using the Wave Beam (can't play =P) so I'll

tell you how to get there using the Power Bombs. From the Norfair

elevator, drop down a little bit and enter the first door to your left.

You'll have to run past closing gates: this is the way to the Ice Beam.

Make sure you have the Speed Booster. As you run, you'll eventually get

stopped by a hole you have dug into the ground because of your speed,

just in front of the door. That's where you drop a Power Bomb. Enter

the tunnel, kill the ennemies and enter the door. Drop down the small

shaft (watch out for pirates) and open the door in the floor. Go right

from here and you should reach a room with a Super Missile door in the

floor. Open it and face Crocomire. After you have beat him, explore the

area to his left and you'll get the Grappling beam =)

-Dang! That is one long explanation for where to find the grapple beam!

Answer 4

You get the grapple beam fairly late in the game, after power bomb. As you leave the Phazon Mines after getting power bomb, you will come back to a room called Ore Processing, the room with the column of spider ball tracks in the center. Climb up to the third level of the room (accessed by the red spider ball track) and find the bomb slot blocked by bendezium rubble. Use a power bomb to clear the rubble. Use the slot to line up the yellow spider ball track with its connection at the top and use the other two slots to line up the rest of the yellow track, using the hologram for guidance.

Answer 5

It should be right in the doorway as you reach Norion. Retrace your steps

Answer 6

shoot it out
