Metroid Prime 4 Beyond - TK Code Puzzle Solutions and Guides

This is a list of all TK Code puzzle solutions and locations in the Ice Belt area of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. See all TK Code puzzle solutions and where to find them in this guide.

TK Code 1 Puzzle Solution

  1. First Lock in the Bio Lab
  2. Scan the Middle Research Sample
  3. Scan the Glowing Canister
  4. Open the Psychic Lock

1. First Lock in the Bio Lab

Overworld Map

The first TK Code Puzzle is located in the Bio Lab of the Ice Belt. Players will need to find two code fragments to complete this and open the way forward, deeper into the area.

2. Scan the Middle Research Sample

To start this puzzle, head into the Specimen Lab, and use the Psychic Visor to scan the middle research sample. The first TK code will appear, which you will need to rotate to the first TK Code Fragment.

3. Scan the Glowing Canister

Then, head into the DNA Sequencing Room, with the locked pods. Use the Psychic Lasso to open the pods until you find a green canister. Scan that with the Psychic Visor and rotate it to form a second code fragment.

4. Open the Psychic Lock

With both TK Code fragments acquired, head to the purple Psychic Lock. If you have both TK codes, a guide will appear on the right side of the screen, showing the correct pattern to follow.

Trace the correct path along the puzzle to unlock the door and proceed further into the Ice Belt.

TK Code 2 Puzzle Solution

  1. Second Lock in the Medical Bays
  2. Scan the Upright Test Capsule
  3. Scan the Middle Griever Specimen
  4. Scan the Balsallae System
  5. Scan the Thawed Monitor
  6. Open the Second Psychic Lock

1. Second Lock in the Medical Bays

Overworld Map

The next TK Code Puzzle is in the Medical Bays of the Ice Belt area. There are four code fragments required for this puzzle, scattered across the area to the right of the Psychic Lock.

2. Scan the Upright Test Capsule

To start getting the TK Codes from the Medical Bay, look for cracked tempered glass to the right of the Psychic Lock. Shoot it to break the glass, then proceed into the Staging Corridor beyond it.

In this hallway, head to the furthest room at the end, and look for a Morph Ball vent covered by a gate. Break it and roll through to find canisters on a desk, with the upright one revealing the fragment when scanned.

3. Scan the Middle Griever Specimen


Thaw the Crane

Scan the Griever

Backtrack into the Staging Corridor and open the nearby door to reveal a large room. Unlock the north door with the Psychic Lasso and proceed north until you reach the Storage Bay.

In the central platform of the Storage Bay, with all the Griever Specimens, use the Fire Shot to thaw a crane on the wall, revealing one more Griever with the needed code.

4. Scan the Balsallae System


Activate the System

Scan the System

Backtrack to the large intersecting room, and unlock the southern door. Go all the way south until you reach the Surgery Bay with the Balsallae System floating in the center.

Walk up the ramp to the access panel behind the Balsallae System and scan it to activate the system. Then, scan the opened Balsallae System for another TK Code Fragment.

5. Scan the Thawed Monitor


Pull Down the Monitor

Scan the Monitor

Head back to the Staging Corridor Intersection, and open the final door at the west side. Proceed all the way west until you reach the Recovery Bay.

Here, head to the right side of the back of the room to find a vent you can break and jump through to reach a small room. Defeat the enemies here, then use the Fire Shot to thaw a frozen monitor, which has the final code when scanned.

6. Open the Second Psychic Lock

With all four code fragments, backtrack all the way to the Psychic Lock and follow the guide to remove it from your path.

How to Use TK Codes

Rotate the Puzzle to Create an Image

Telekinetic Codes are initially acquired from scanning distorted objects in the overworld. Upon scanning, solve a short optical puzzle by rotating the key until the pattern is fully formed in your perspective.

Used to Open Psychic Lock Units

TK Codes are primarily used to open Psychic Lock Units mostly found in Ice Belt. Psychic Lock Units hinder you from crossing sections of the area's map, so you must first search for these codes to complete and unlock these puzzles.

How to Open All Door Types

Required for Further Ice Belt Exploration

Progress Into the Ice Belt

Completing both TK Code Puzzles is required for pushing deeper into the Ice Belt area, and reaching the generator to repower the Ice Belt's systems.
