Temple Access (Sanctuary Fortress)

Temple Access is a room in the Sanctuary Fortress. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. As the name implies, the room's purpose is to give Samus access to the Sanctuary Temple. There is a Kinetic Orb Cannon that must be activated using the Dark Visor and Seeker Missiles in tandem in order to use. The cannon can used by Samus to reach the higher floor of this room that otherwise is too high for her Space Jump alone to reach. 
On first visit, a Quad sentry drone appears once Samus reaches the bottom floor and will lock the door to the Sanctuary Temple until both its body and head is eliminated. If only its head is destroyed, the Main Body will attempt to call in a replacement Command Module from an unknown shaft in the room above the Main Body. 
The Dark Aether equivalent of this room is Hive Temple Access.

==Items==
;Missile Expansion:First, to start the puzzle, Samus must use her Dark Visor to see a Multi-Lock Blast Shield. When she destroys that, a Kinetic Orb Cannon will be activated at the bottom of the chamber. Next, she must stand in front of the tall pillar in the middle of the room and turn on her Echo Visor to spot a sonic emitter that she can destroy. A timer will kick in, and she will have to use the orb cannon again to get on top of the pillar and fall into a Morph Ball maze in the floor, which contains the expansion. She can then use a Spinner to open up a passage and escape.
==Scans==
;Kinetic Orb target
:"Object scan complete.Kinetic Orb target is active and receiving power.Target appears to be linked to a sonic security system. Disrupting its connection to the system may cause it to move out of position."

* Note: text is centered-aligned in scan, unlike the others which are left-aligned.
==Trivia==
*If Samus activates the Kinetic Orb Cannon before jumping down to the lower floor during her first visit, she can instantly destroy the Quad that appears by rolling into the device. As the Quad lands on it after falling from the ceiling, the cannon will destroy it as it shoots Samus back to the top floor.
*The Missile Expansion can be obtained without the Echo Visor using a Bomb Space Jump.https://www.metroid2002.com/echoes/early_missile_temple_access.php
