Another secret method to kill Kraid has been discovered in Metroid Dread Plus speedruns are even quicker. News by Ed Nightingale News reporter Updated on 26 Nov 2021 7 comments It wasn't long after Metroid Dread was released that a major sequence break was discovered. Grabbing the morph ball bombs early opens up a secret method of killing Kraid, the game's second boss. Now a new method of beating the boss has been discovered that requires another item to be grabbed early: the flash shift. Watch on YouTube This item allows Samus to dash in quick succession and is usually found a short while after the Kraid fight. However, if found beforehand, Samus will be able to flash shift into Kraid's face instead of a parry and unleash a barrage of missiles. Twitter user Yassu Yassu showed the secret method in action. ファミ通さんの攻略本に書いてあった事を試しましたクレイドさんのおめめが光っている時にフラッシュシフトをするとグラブシーケンスに移行するのですちなみにスーパーミサイルなのです#MetroidDread #メトロイドドレッド pic.twitter.com/h5HNAM9LeP- ヤッス (@yassu_yassu) November 14, 2021 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
