Super Metroid / Major boss

Draygon

Major boss · Maridia

Draygon guards a major progression point in Maridia. The fight belongs to the game’s underwater exploration arc.

  • Story: Defeating Draygon leads to Space Jump, substantially changing vertical movement and the routes Samus can revisit.
  • In the game: On a conventional approach, aim at the exposed belly and preserve room to move. Enter with the Gravity Suit and adequate reserves rather than forcing a difficult underwater fight with poor mobility.
