- Once per day, players can activate a protective shield that absorbs up to 99 points of damage.
- When the shield is enabled, Samus’s life bar is fully restored, offering a crucial second chance in challenging situations. **Sylux [Metroid Prime 4] amiibo:** - Post-game unlocks include access to unfragmented versions of the cutscenes previously shown in parts.
Notably, players without the Sylux amiibo can still access this content by achieving a 100% completion rate for both scans and item collection.
- Each scan of the amiibo lets fans hear one of Sylux’s randomized voice lines, adding extra flavor for series enthusiasts. **Compatibility with Previous Metroid Series amiibo (including Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, and Dark Samus from the Super Smash Bros.
