Metroid Dread: 9 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn’t Tell You

9. Use This Specific Map Button

Many players are mentioning being lost or “stuck” on where to go, but there’s a very simply map-based tip that’ll see you through immediately.

Done when you’ve just acquired a new ability or weapon, just pause and hover the cursor over any previously-locked door that new your ability can now unlock. We’re talking blue grapple points, infected-looking shutters, etc.

Hover on these, press Y to "Highlight Icons", zoom out and you’ll immediately see every other instance of where your ability can be used.

This tells you exactly where to go, and it’s just a case of plotting a course directly there.
