Don't lock on to Dark Samus when trying to absorb the phazon attacks. -.-" (and yes, that's what you did).

When the phazon shield around her increases in size she'll unleash her phazon shatter shot attack. Otherwise it's a phazon missile and you obviously can't absorb a missile. It's easy to avoid by strafing. After getting hit by it once you should have figured it out.

As for the attack frequency of those two attacks, it's 50-50. It's in the code.

I never once died at this boss and I'm not even good at games. I died against the first boss in the game multiple times.

I don't know what other monster you died against, but I recently replayed MP2 (trilogy version) for the first time in more than 7 years and had zero deaths. So can't have been the game's fault you died.

edit: you're probably talking about dark bloggs, they're easier to kill than their light version lol. The Alpha Blogg is annoying and probably glitched though.

You really do love going as far off-topic as possible, don't you? And I just always inevitable follow you around.. sigh.

I already beat the game, I know what to do. That said, how the hell am I supposed to know not to lock on to her? I mean, locking on is pretty much the quintessential thing you do everytime you meet an enemy, let alone a boss. Of course I would lock on and stay locked on. This is the kind of stuff the game should have told me in the scan... or rather, not even require in the first place, because requiring you to unlock your aim is stupid.

If her missiles looked like missiles, I wouldn't have even tried to absorb them, but the game tells me to absorb her "Phazon-based attack", and her missile is indeed a "Phazon missile" and it does indeed look like phazon stuff. I couldn't even tell they looked like missiles with the amount of blue glow they had.

I won't even bother with the rest of your post as it's pretty much all like "I beat this game and thought it was easy, git gud scrub".

Common sense. If something doesn't work you try to adjust and do something different.

It's pretty self evident that you need to manually aim your gun to absorb most of the phazon. It's a problem that's not even in the Trilogy version because of the motion control. Yeah, the controls in the first two Prime games weren't perfect, but they did the best they could do.
