Is The Phazon Beam Really This Hard to Use, or Am I Just an Idiot?

Alright, now I can't figure out how to use the Phazon Beam. It says it activates around Phazon. I'm standing right in a puddle of the radioactive goo! How do I use the Phazon Beam!?

I assume this is about Metroid Prime? I dont know but im gonna hit that part soon, im in the phazon mines.

You can only use it furing the final battle with Metroid Prime itself. It creates Phazon pools as you fight its second form, and you're supposed to stand in it, and blast it repeatedly.

You jerk!!! Don't you know what a spoiler is??!!!? You should of at least put a "Spoiler Alert" in the thread title. Well, I guess now I know that you get a phazon beam later in the game. It's like I can never enjoy any newly released game without someone talking about the ending like it's nothing. There are a lot of us who like to take their time to enjoy the game, and if I'm pyched about a certain aspect or stuck in an area of the game I'll at least give some heads up.

I'm not mad at you, but now when I get the phazon cannon it won't be as cool now.

Hey don't worry Rijuhn, You still have to see it. It doesn't matter that you know, just wait and see it and look forward to the ending 😉.

It isn't cool anyway. I doesn't even do anything special when you get it. It's the other thing you get that's interesting.
