All Energy Tank Locations in Metroid Prime 4

By newsgame

There are 14 Energy Tanks to collect in Metroid Prime 4, and each one gives Samus additional health. While players are guaranteed to obtain several of these collectibles while working through the main story, they will need to do some searching if they want to track them all down. This guide is here to assist with that endeavor, and the location of every Energy Tank in Metroid Prime 4 is detailed below.

While the order in which the Energy Tanks can be collected is not strictly fixed, many of them can only be accessed after unlocking certain abilities. The order that has been used for this guide takes that fact into account, and players should find that it follows the game’s critical path quite closely.

How to Get Green Energy Crystals (& Rewards) in Metroid Prime 4

Players who have questions about the Green Energy Crystal rewards in Metroid Prime 4 can find the answers they seek in this guide.

All Energy Tank Locations in Metroid Prime 4

Energy Tank #1

Location: UTO Research Center

Players are guaranteed to run into their first Energy Tank when they are rolling through a Morph Ball section in the UTO Research Center, during the game’s prologue.

Energy Tank #2

Location: Fury Green – Cliffside Gate

After unlocking Psychic Glove in Fury Green, players will encounter a door that is unlocked with two motes. There is a container beyond that door, which can be opened by activating the Psychic Visor and tracing the pattern, and it holds an Energy Tank.

Energy Tank #3

Players will encounter Sylux while working their way through Volt Forge, and they will receive an Energy Tank when they defeat him.

Energy Tank #4

Location: Ice Belt – Power Generator

Make your way to the Power Generator room in Ice Belt and use the Control Beam to get the generator running. Then interact with the terminal just in front of the generator to open a path in the floor. Follow that path, using bombs to enter and exit a Morph Ball section, to reach an Energy Tank.

Energy Tank #5

Location: Ladder of Thought Shrine

Use Fire Shot to enter the Ladder of Thought Shrine on the west side of Sol Valley, just south of Ice Belt. After solving the platform puzzle, use Fire Shot to burn the web to the right of the door, and use a double bomb jump to enter a Morph Ball tunnel that leads to an Energy Tank.

To perform this double bomb jump, press X while in Morph Ball form to spring and place a bomb at the top of the jump. Then spring again just before the bomb explodes to get a boost into the tunnel.

Energy Tank #6

Stop by the Ring of Thunder Shrine, northwest of Flare Pool, but do not enter. Instead, use the Psychic Glove to open the compartment on the back of the statue and reveal an Energy Tank.

Energy Tank #7

Location: Flare Pool – Storage Room

There is a large orb floating in the Storage Room in Flare Pool. Activate the Psychic Visor and trace the pattern on that object to reveal an Energy Tank.

Energy Tank #8

You will encounter Sylux once again during a return trip to Volt Forge, which occurs after unlocking Psychic Grapple, and another Energy Tank is awarded when he is defeated.

Energy Tank #9

Location: Fury Green – Rods of Transference

After unlocking the Fire, Ice, and Thunder Shots, players can solve the three puzzles in Fury Green’s Rods of Transference, very near to base camp. Once all three puzzles are solved, an Energy Tank will appear in front of the nearby statue.

Energy Tank #10

There is a tower that holds an Energy Tank in front of the entrance to Volt Forge. Shoot a Thunder Shot into the opening near the bottom of the tower to gain access to the collectible.

Energy Tank #11

Location: Ice Belt – Ice Canyon

During a return trip to Ice Belt after unlocking Psychic Grapple, make your way to Ice Canyon, the windy area with chains and platforms. Use your Psychic Visor to activate the Psychic Grapple Points in this area, and then use them to swing across a gap and reach a platform with an Energy Tank.

Energy Tank #12

Location: Great Mines – Mine Shaft Level 2

After using Boost Ball to activate the bridge in Mine Shaft – Level 2, use the Psychic Visor to activate the Psychic Platforms on the side of the bridge. Now use those platforms to jump up to an Energy Tank.

Energy Tank #13

Location: Flare Pool – Volcano Heart

Make your way back to Volcano Heart in Flare Pool, the arena where you previously fought Phenoros, and fire at a small container that is sitting atop a rock near the room’s entrance to reveal an Energy Tank. Chase after, and defeat, the creature that steals the tank to claim it.

Energy Tank #14

Location: Great Mines – Chasm Tunnel (Level 3)

Armed with Psychic Power Bomb, head to Mines Level 2 and use the Pit to fall to Level 3. Now continue forward until you reach Main Nest Tunnel, and use a Power Bomb to destroy the Gibardaum Ore wall that blocks the path. Follow that path and use a Fire Shot to clear a web and reveal a Morph Ball tunnel. There is a large half pipe in the tunnel, and Metroid Prime 4 players can use a combination of Boost Ball and Tether Nodes to reach the Energy Tank at the top, which can be grabbed with a double bomb jump.
