Torvus Grove

Torvus Grove is a room in the Torvus Bog in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It is a large, open ended room that features a half-pipe and a massive tree in the middle. Samus can destroy roots that are made of Denzium to topple it and reveal a Missile Expansion from behind a wall. The only way to the upper ledges of the room is to use the half-pipe.
Samus travels into this room at least twice. The first time is on her way to reach a Portal, where she is ambushed by two Pirate Commandos. Samus easily defeats these two troops and continues forward into the portal room. Samus later returns to this room with the Boost Ball, where she uses the half-pipe to reach the Dark Beam door up above. She can return to this room a few optional times to collect the Missile Expansion here, the Energy Tank in the adjacent portal room, or simply to reach the Forgotten Bridge shorter.
The Dark Aetherian version of this room was the Polluted Mire.
