Activate the Second Generator in Dairon

Once you have restored the power, the door leading to the Bomb upgrade room should now be active. Open that door and obtain the Bomb upgrade.

Obtain Flash Shift

Meet Quiet Robe (Chozo Scientist)

The Chozo who deactivated the EMMI introduces himself as Quiet Robe, a scientist from the Thoha tribe. He goes into detail about the backstory of Metroid Dread and opens up a path for Samus in Burenia.

Defeat the Robot Chozo Soldier

At the end of the cutscene, a Robot Chozo Soldier appears from behind Quiet Robe and kills him. Defeat the Robot Chozo Soldier to leave the area and avenge Quiet Robe.

Defeat Drogyga in Burenia

What to Do if Stuck in Burenia

How to Escape the Bottom Area of Burenia

After getting the Space Jump upgrade, you will need to return to Burenia to obtain the Gravity Suit. The bottom areas of Burenia are vast and cavernous, making it difficult to navigate. Follow the instructions in the table to escape the bottom areas of Burenia and obtain the Gravity Suit.

Step-By-Step Walkthrough
1	Space Jump to the Save Station After first descending into the bottom areas of Burenia, you will first need to locate the Save Station. You can reach the Save Station by using your Space Jump upgrade to cross the short water section.
2	Destroy the Alien Block and Grapple Block To the right of the Save Station, you will run into an Alien Block. Destroy it with your Power Beam to open up the wall. Across the water, you can spot a Grapple Block. Pull on it with the Grapple Beam to destroy it.
3	Travel through the Narrow Path Once the Grapple Block is destroyed, use your Space Jump to travel to the other side and go through the narrow passage.
3	Open Up the Narrow Path Above the Cave As you continue through the path, it will eventually lead to a small cave at the very bottom of Burenia. At the top left corner, you can spot another alien block. Use your Diffusion Beam to destroy it and open up the path above.
3	Get on the Bridge and Go Up Through the path, you will encounter a trench. Cross the trench and use Space Jump to get on the bridge. Once you're on the bridge, head upwards passing through the two Sensor-Lock Doors.
3	Space Jump to the Other Side After passing through the second Sensor-Lock Door, you will encounter a large gap. Use Space Jump to cross the large gap and make your way to the other side. If you accidentally fall, you can climb back up on the right side.
3	Destroy the Alien Blocks to Expose the Grapple Block Go up the narrow passage and destroy the alien block to open up the wall and expose more alien blocks. Continue destroying the alien blocks until the wall is completely destroyed and the Grapple Block is exposed.
3	Pull on the Grapple Block to Destroy the Bridge Below The Grapple Block will be holding up a large underwater structure. Pull on the Grapple Block to cause the large structure to fall onto the bridge below and destroy it.
3	Obtain the Gravity Suit Once the bridge is destroyed, you can enter the room containing the Gravity Suit to the left. With the Gravity Suit, you can freely travel through the water and escape the bottom area of Burenia.
