Metroid Dread: 10 Best Secrets You Must Find
9. There's A Secret Way To Kill Two Bosses
Metroid has earned a reputation for its epic, rock-hard bosses. However, there are two foes that can be killed easily if you play your cards right.
By backtracking a bit just before entering Kraid's lair, you can obtain the Bomb sooner than on a normal playthrough. After that, enter Kraid's domain and fight him until he stands up, exposing his belly button. At this point, use the Morph Ball to roll to the left and set off a Bomb. Samus will be blasted into the kaiju with lethal force, skipping the second-half of the fight entirely.
You can do something similar when you square off against Experiment Z-57 (except without the backtracking). When the behemoth blasts the fans in the second half of the brawl, you need to jump around to dodge them. If you hit these fans with a Shinespark, Samus will blast the Experiment to death immediately.
If you hope to win the game in under four hours to unlock achievements, this technique will shave off a bunch of time (and make the playthrough far easier).
Although these secrets are quite well-known (which means they're technically not secrets anymore!), the rest on this list are more obscure.
