How to kill boss Rundas in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption?
Rundas is the boss that comes on planet Bryyo in Metroid Prime 3 Corruption and killing him can sometimes become a little long drawn and annoying.
After trying a few times I finally stumbled upon the easiest way to kill Rundas off. If you are going to read any further be warned that this will spill the beans and will rob you off of the satisfaction you will get by killing Rundas the hard way.
For those of you who decided to read on…here it goes. Just before you encounter Rundas a couple of ships enter the area and drop off a few bad guys who are fast and shoot at you with their guns. This will tempt you to use your Phazon gun, but don’t!
You will probably get hit and drained off 100 health points if you decide not to use Phazon but that is well worth it. Save your Phazon for later and it will really help when fighting with Rundas.
When Rundas appears remember that he is not vulnerable to rocket attacks when he is on land. Only when he climbs up the icicles he is vulnerable to rockets. So don’t waste your rockets right away.
First hit him with your regular gun and keep shooting him with your gun. After a while you will see that Rundas is in kind of a daze. You can see yellowish stars revolving around his head. At this time Rundas is vulnerable to grapple attack. You can grapple him now and rip off his armor.
After the armor is ripped off, Rundas looks weak and you will be tempted to grapple him again, but this works only once so just use your regular gun and keep attacking.
After you get a hang of shooting Rundas accurately, it is time to use your Phazon. Take your fuel injection and start attacking Rundas. This will really drain off his energy which you can see on the top center part of your TV.
The key is to not let your Phazon drain off completely during the attack. In Bryyo you would have received some weird messages earlier saying that Phazon levels are too high or something and what that means is that as you keep shooting your Phazon, it keeps getting increased automatically. But if you drain it completely it will not get replenished.
So as you use your Phazon, spare a little and allow it to replenish automatically. After 25 seconds it will drain off automatically, which you can’t help anyway.
If you use the Phazon like this twice, Rundas can be killed in about two minutes fairly easily.
Another interesting thing here is that when Rundas climbs up the icicles, and hurls those ice cubes at you, you can shoot those ice cubes, all four of them and you will get rockets and energy when the last one of each lot is destroyed. This happens most times but not always.
Hope you find this useful and enjoy kicking the heck out of Rundas!
