List of All Missables
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has some content that you can miss once you reach the endgame and enter the point of no return. Here is a list of missable content that you need to 100% the game.
Logbook Scans
| Counted in Logbook | Not Counted in Logbook |
|---|---|
 |
 |
To achieve 100% game completion, you must get all the logbook entries from the different items, creatures, and areas of Viewros. Do take note that not all scans make an entry, so check out our guide below for all required entries!
List of Logbooks and Scans Guide
Boss Scans
Some boss scans are missable once you defeat them in the game. Make sure to get a logbook entry of them while in combat by scanning them with your Visor.
If you missed scanning the main bosses: Carvex, Xelios, Keratos, or Phenoros, you can return to the Sanctum of Guardians in Fury Green and interact with the Playback Device to generate holograms of these bosses.
Collectibles
| Collectibles and 100% Completion Guides | ||
|---|---|---|
| Shot Expansion | Missile Expansion | |
| Psychic Power Bomb Expansion | Energy Tank | |
| Mech Parts | Scout Bots | |
All Collectibles not acquired before reaching Sylux's final fight at the top of Chrono Tower will be missed permanently. Make sure to acquire all Energy Tanks, Ammo Expansions, Scout Bots and Mech Parts before heading to the point-of-no-return later!
No Collectible is Truly Missable
Every collectible in the game is accessible the moment you unlock most of your upgrade abilities, meaning you will not be losing a single item in the game regardless of your progress until you reach Sylux's final fight.
Note: The only collectible in UTO Research Center, an Energy Tank, cannot be missed as you will be forced to go through the vents where the item is to proceed forward.
Hard Difficulty Setting
You may only unlock the Hard Difficulty Setting if you play and finish the game on Normal Mode.

All Points of No Return
Unlocking the Door to Aberax Boss
Once you enter the Aberax Boss Arena, you can no longer scan the logbook entries for UTO Research Center other than Aberax itself.
We suggest completing the scans for the area before entering, as you cannot return back to the facility once the fight commences.
Order the Troopers to Move Forward
Before the final fight with Sylux, a prompt will be appearing if you want to order the troopers to move forward. This marks the point of no return for the endgame, so you cannot return to all areas of Viewros once you press Yes.
Make a Manual Save file before you progress the story so you can 100% the game in this duplicate slot, if you haven't!
