The Ice Belt is the third major “dungeon” that Metroid Prime 4 players will be able to explore, and as one can imagine, there’s a lot of snow, ice, and more snow. Once you make it to one of the early sections of the dungeon, the Snowfield, there will be a massive pack of Snow Wolves ready to attack Samus and surround her.
If you’re wondering how to deal with this deadly pack of beasts in Metroid Prime 4, we’ll show you how to deal with them.
Even More Metroid Prime Games Rumored for the Switch
An industry insider surprises Metroid Prime fans by revealing that more games from the popular franchise could be making their way to Nintendo Switch.
How to Deal With the Snow Wolves in Ice Belt’s Snowfield in Metroid Prime 4
There’s Too Many!
Once Samus enters the Snowfield, numerous Snow Wolves will surround her in what feels like an endless battle. It turns out that you actually don’t need to defeat each one, even though that’s what it feels like the game wants you to do. You just need to simply survive for a couple of minutes until a cutscene happens, bringing the fight to an end.
We won’t spoil exactly what happens so you can see it play out yourself, but someone in the Ice Belt will come to Samus’ aid, getting rid of the wolves. So you just need to use your Fire Shots and regular missiles and dodge the ongoing attacks until help arrives.
The Logbook entry for the Snow Wolf describes the creature as a “carnivorous quadruped living in the frigid regions of the Ice Belt. A pack hunter that surrounds its prey, its cold natural habitat makes it ill-suited to warm climates.”
