Back to Brinstar - For the Varia Suit
Once at the top of the Brinstar lift, follow the map to the left. At the vertical shaft, take it to the third door on the right (the first leads to a save game room). Open the third door and take the tunnel right. You've been through this first section before. You'll reach an area blocked by an organism. Look at the ceiling to spot a tube. Destroy the block with a bomb and roll through the tube. Drop next to the door and go through.
The next room is the key area. Shoot the ceiling to blast a passage through. Beware of the flying enemies and parasites scattered around the room. Now with hi-jump, it's a breeze leaping up into the upper room. Next, leap from the stable floor to the ledge on the upper left. Shoot up to break the blocks above and continue the ascent to the door on the left.
Organisms block the upper hallway. But take note of what happens: parasites drop from the ceiling and obliterate the organisms. A combination of hi-jump and power grip will aid you in crossing the platforms throughout this corridor. Watch your footing as some of the platforms will crumble beneath your feet. An organism blocks the far end.
Shoot the blocks above to release the parasites onto the organism. Slide through the tunnel in morph ball form and enter the next door on the left side. Find another Chozo statue with the next power-up; it's the varia suit, which decreases your damage taken from enemies and protects you against acid and heat.
Exit the power-up room to the right. Before you maneuver across the platforms, drop into the pool below (which no longer causes damage) and spot the energy tank below. Move to the rocky floor to the right. Set bombs to destroy a section of the floor and open the route toward the tank. Use bombs to clear the route to the left and snag the energy tank.
Drop down out of this upper area. At the intersection, go right and into the save room. With the varia suit equipped, you can now safely explore this upper right corner of Brinstar. Move through the corridor using power grip to hold onto the ledge below the narrow tunnel.
You'll spot a missile-like object with a bunch of parasites hopping around on the other side. You must use those parasites to destroy an organism in the pool below. Shoot the red mark on the missile and lure the parasites back to the left (through the tube). Drop down into the pool and destroy the blocks with a bomb. Avoid setting the bomb near the parasites so they remain alive.
While in the pool, find the organism to the bottom right. You can wait until the parasites hop there or even allow the parasites to attach to you then stand next to the organism.
Once the organism is destroyed, roll through the tube. Exit the pool and use the Chozo statue. You're shown a new location in Norfair. Use your Brinstar map to proceed to the Norfair elevator.
