Steps to Unlock the Phantom Cloak Aeion Ability
| 1 |  Defeat Corpious.Corpious is the first boss you'll encounter in the game. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Gain the upgrade.You will automatically gain the ability after defeating Corpious. |
How to Get the Phantom Cloak Early
You can skip the White EMMI and fight Corpious immediately to get the Phantom Cloak early, but this is not recommended as the Spider Magnet (which is dropped by the White EMMI) is a helpful upgrade for the boss battle with Corpious.
| 1 |  Perform the Pseudo Wave Beam.From the save station near the White EMMI Zone, shoot a Pseudo Wave Beam (a slide followed by a jump) to the alien remains just above the area outside the save station. There is a chance that the beam will clip through the wall and make an opening. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Follow the path to Corpious' boss room.Climb up the path and travel right to Corpious's boss room. Defeat it to obtain the upgrade. |
How to Use the Phantom Cloak
Press the R Stick with Full Aeion
While your Aeion is full, press 
to activate Phantom Cloak. Press once again to deactivate Phantom Cloak.
to activate Phantom Cloak. Press once again to deactivate Phantom Cloak.Hide from the EMMI
While this ability is active, Samus can move without causing any sound and she will go undetected by the E.M.M.I.’s optical sensor.
Pass Through Sensor-Lock Door
This door will automatically close when Samus tries to pass. Use Phantom Cloak to pass through.
Be Careful of Aeion Energy Levels
Samus can activate this ability by consuming a special type of energy called Aeion. However, if Samus walks or otherwise engages while the ability is active, she will more quickly burn through Aeion.
If all of her Aeion is depleted, Samus may continue using Phantom Cloak at the cost of her Energy. Manage these resources carefully.
Where to Go After Phantom Cloak
Use Phantom Cloak on Sensor-Lock Doors
Once you defeat the first boss, Corpius, you will gain the Phantom Cloak ability, which allows Samus to sneak past Sensor-Lock Doors.
Before approaching a Sensor-Lock Door, activate your Phantom Cloak and walk through. Do not deactivate your Phantom Cloak until you make it safely across the door.
Head to the Cataris Elevator
After obtaining the Phantom Cloak, travel to the top right section of the map and reach the Sensor-Lock Door underneath a heat-room, as shown on the image above. This will let you travel on to the next map, Cataris.
