If there’s one staple of the Metroid Prime games, it’s that you can all but guarantee Samus is going to upgrade her arm cannon a few times throughout the game to boost her capabilities. This returns in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond in a style similar to Samus’ second outing.
Instead of whole new beams, she instead gets new elemental Shots, each of which has their own distinct purpose. And back in Fury Green, there is one room with some great rewards dedicated to helping you put those new Shots to their limits.
Solving The Sacred Flame Ceremony Room
Right after you get the Fire Shot, you’ll gain access to the Sacred Flame Ceremony room, back in Fury Green. After returning to Fury Green from Sol Valley and taking the Cargo Launcher, the Sacred Flame Ceremony room is directly ahead of you, so pop in.
Inside will be a series of locked doors, as well as a central platform with an object you can move around with Samus’ Psychic abilities. Stand in the centre to allow Samus to grab it, and move it so that it aligns with the various closed structures around the ring.
Once the lens you’re moving is aligned, the closed structure will open, revealing a bush. Fire through the lens to set the bush on fire. Now you just need to repeat this pattern for the remaining bushes. However, there are grooves in the floor that the lens mus follow, so you can step away from the centre whenever you need to refresh your mind on the path the lens must follow.
After burning all three bushes, the largest door at the back will open to reveal a statue of a Lamorn, who will now be holding a fire orb by its chest. A Shot Expansion will also appear as a reward.

In addition to Samus’s suit and weapon upgrades, she’s also acquired some unique psychic abilities thanks to the Psychic Crystal in Metroid Prime 4.
Solving The Fountain Of Tranquility Room
The next time we can return to the ceremony room is after we’ve acquired the Ice Shot, which is found at the end of Ice Belt. With it in hand, we can head right back to the Sacred Flame Ceremony after turning in the Ice Chip to Mackenzie.
This time, we’re heading to the left. Remove the ice lock from the door and head into The Fountain of Tranquility room. Here, we are faced with a series of fountains of water, as well as a Shot Expansion waiting at the very top of the pedestal in the centre of the room.
As the tablets around the room inform us, we must freeze the water to reach the top. However, the water will only stay frozen for a brief period, so freeze them in order with a quick Ice Shot.
All you have to do then is follow them up to the top, claim your Shot Expansion, and return to the main room. An ice orb will now appear in the left hand of the Lamorn statue. One step closer.
Solving The Rods Of Transference Room
For the final ceremony room, we’re going to need the Thunder Shot, which we get from the very end of Volt Forge. After you’ve picked up the Thunder Chip, just hand it over to Miles like normal and make your way to the Sacred Flame Ceremony room with your shiny new Thunder Shot.
This time, head to the right after removing the thunder lock on the door to enter the Rods of Transference room. This one has a large plant-like object in the centre, as well as three other objects dangling from the ceiling around it.
This might seem a bit complex at first, but the goal is to get all three of the objects on the ceiling close enough to the plant-like object in the centre so that once they’re electrified, they can all arc towards the centre.
Use your Psychic powers to lower them all enough so that they’re mostly level. You can give one a quick shock and if you see the electricity touch the centre object, then just copy the process on the others. Then quickly hit all three and the plant-like object will open, revealing your final reward, another Shot Expansion.
Claiming Your Reward
With all three rooms now complete, return to the main Sacred Flame Ceremony room. The final elemental orb will now appear in the Lamorn statue’s hand, and the closed structure by their feet will open.
This will reveal a new Energy Tank. Pick it up to finally be done with the trio of ceremony rooms.
