Norion

	1.	(Cargo Hub) As you first enter the Cargo Hub you'll see a number of unfortunate fallen GF Marines scattered around the chamber. Take out the rounds of ambushing Aeromines and return to the entrance. See the small chute in the wall nearby? Use the Grapple Lasso to rip off a panel beside the chute and activate the terminal to slide it open. Roll through and make your way through the network of narrow tunnels to eventually discover this Missile hiding inside (although watch out for the Jolly Roger drone). Go to walkthrough
	2.	(Docking Hub Alpha) You'll need either the Grapple Swing or Screw Attack to reach this. Touch down at Docking Hub Alpha and look for a hidden alcove behind your ship. You'll spot this Missile directly across a short chasm, simply use the Grapple Swing or the Screw Attack to reach it. Go to walkthrough
	3.	(Substation West) Upon scoring the Plasma Beam from Ghor at SkyTown, return to the Cargo Hub and repair the damaged circuit panel present. Enter the following chamber and use the Morph Ball to enter the narrow tunnel lining the curved wall. This Missile awaits at the far end, but watch out for the pistons constantly extending and retracting; you don't want to find yourself pushed off onto the heated coils below. Take care while rolling through the tunnel and stay put up against pistons that aren't glowing. Time your movement to reach the Missile. Go to walkthrough
	4.	(Maintenance Station) You'll need the Ice Missile upgrade to find this. Return to the Maintenance Station room and look for a white blast-shielded door. Simply knock the shield off with an Ice Missile and enter the chamber beyond to locate this Missile Expansion inside. Go to walkthrough

Go to walkthrough
	5.	(Bryyo Fire - Gel Hall) An easy find, simply wait for the Golem head in this chamber to rotate and face the thick yellow cable.

	7.	(Bryyo Fire - Gel Refinery Site) From the Gel Hall chamber, see the white blast-shielded door on the far side of the Fuel Gel pool?

Enter the following chamber and use the Grapple Swing to pass over the deadly chasm below (shoot the red switches on each Grapple Point to extend them - and don't look down). Beyond you'll find yourself back outside at the Gel Refinery Site. Look for weakened support pipes around the corner, use the Grapple Lasso to rip it off and discover this Missile right behind it. Go to walkthrough
	8.	(Reliquary III) You'll need the Ice Missile upgrade to find this. Return to the Grand Court and use the Grapple Points above to reach a white blast-shielded door hiding in an alcove.

Go to walkthrough
	13.	(Falls of Fire) The Screw Attack will help you reach this. Head for the Falls of Fire and use the Golem to reach the bottom of the huge shaft. Once at the base you should spot a short series of Wall Jump surfaces leading skyward. Use the Screw Attack and climb up the shaft to find this Missile waiting above. Go to walkthrough
	14.	(Fuel Gel Pool) You'll need the Ice Missile upgrade, Plasma Beam and Ship Grapple to reach this.

Move through to ultimately find yourself at the Hall of the Golems. Look for the Golem on the right and use the Grapple Voltage to power the seal covering its Bomb Slot. Energize the Golem with a Morph Ball Bomb and watch as it powers a huge network of Spider Ball tracks leading around the chamber and up to this Missile Expansion. Use the Spider Ball and make your way across the tracks, watching out for electrical activity along the way. Use the Boost Ball and double bomb-jumps to clear the final sections of track to reach this Missile. Go to walkthrough
	18.	(Burrow) Once again in the Hall of the Golems, use an Ice Missile to break the cover off the middle Golem's Bomb Slot. Energize the Golem and watch as it freezes the entire Fuel Gel falls.
