Hall of the Golems

Hall of the Golems is a room in Bryyo Cliffside in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
==Description==
This room contains three Bryyonian Golems (hence the name) that use a certain element (ice, fire or electricity) to solve a problem in the room. Two golems are located on the bottom floor, and the third is located on a high ledge at the top of the room. The two bottom golems have obstructions that prevent Samus from simply using them: one's Bomb Slot is covered by metal vulnerable to heat, and the other golem features a clamp over top of the Bomb Slot, that must be overloaded with the electricity. The upper golem has a casing which can be removed by cold.
At the east end of the room there is a door frame with metal blocking it. It is too resilient for Samus to simply melt with her Plasma Beam, so she must utilize the first golem. When activated, this golem will breathe fire onto the metal parts of the door, leaving behind a frame that will retract shortly afterwards, which leads to the Colossus Vista. Once used, the golem will shut off forever.
At one end of the room there is a massive trio of falls pouring Fuel Gel rapidly enough to render Samus' Ice Missiles useless. Samus must climb a series of platforms to reach the high golem, whose Bomb Slot is covered by a security clamp vulnerable to ice weaponry. When destroyed and used, the golem will breathe frost over the Fuel Gel similar to the fire golem, before shutting off permanently. The Fuel Gel will be permanently frozen and unable to thaw, and can be safely crossed.
The last thing Samus will be able to do here is activate the final golem, which can only be done when she is in possession of the Grapple Voltage. The security clamp here is low on energy and needs to be overloaded to remove it. When activated, the golem will walk over to two slots in the wall, and send an electric surge through them, to activate a series of offline Spider Ball Tracks, which will take Samus to a Missile Expansion after going through a trial of obstructions on the said path.

;Victory
:"We, the Lords of Science, mishandled the use of our knowledge. The devastation of the war robbed us of the rare resources necessary to fuel our war engines. Without our machines we were unable to stand up to the Primal armies, and they overran the enclaves of many Science Lords. What few remained fled into dark places, polluted wastelands even the bravest of Primal warriors would not dare enter. Whatever joy there may have been amongst the victorious was quickly stamped out by the grim reality surrounding them. Bryyo, their cradle, their sacred home... was on the verge of death."

==Development notes==
The room's internal name is 06_bryyo_golem. The keyword bryyo indicates the planet Bryyo, and the prefix 06 indicates that this is the sixth of 14 main rooms throughout the planet.
==Trivia==
*The Hall of the Golems resembles the Hall of the Elders in Metroid Prime. In addition to the similar name, the Hall of the Golems contains three Bryyonian Golems, all of which share the same elemental requirements to access three Bomb Slots. The Grapple Voltage is used in place of the Wave Beam, the Ice Missile is used in place of the Ice Beam, and the Plasma Beam is still used.
*If Samus does a series of Sequence Breaks in Hidden Court and Burrow, she will be able to access this room from the upper door while the Fuel Gel falls are still liquid. On her way down, if Samus fails to jump over the falls she will become stuck behind the gel stream, and will be unable to escape alive from it without the Hazard Shield.
