The Impact Crater is a location in Metroid Prime, and the final area in the game. The crater is named so because a Leviathan from Phaaze crashed onto the planet Tallon IV, spreading Phazon throughout the planet. The Chozo constructed a temple, known as the Artifact Temple, above the crater, to contain the Phazon, though they only succeeded in slowing the spread. The crater collapses after Samus Aran defeats Metroid Prime.

Layout[]

The Impact Crater is a relatively small area, with Red Phazon that the Phazon Suit can't protect Samus from in most of the rooms. The entrance contains a Save Station, and halfway up the Phazon Core room is a Missile Station that Samus can use before facing Metroid Prime. The Phazon Core also contains an infinite number of Fission Metroids.
