After this some boss pops up and grabs Samus with that tentacle. I charge my ice beam fully and that makes him let me go. The boss will swipe at you with the tentacles, which you have to jump over. He has a big glowing weak spot that you freeze with your ice beam, and after some time this freezes his neck. Fire a missile at him and it makes him get pissy and light his tentacles on fire. After he swipes a few more times you can freeze his tentacle and run up it, delivering a lethal strike to his head which isn't actually lethal until you do it two more times (thank you for getting the definition of 'lethal' correct there Nintendo). Good boss fight overall though. On the way back I run into more enemies to hop on that are no threat whatsoever and go save.
