Whispers of the cliffside gate crack open as you trace the Viewros’ pulse, and the door sighs, revealing the path only the psychic can hear.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond‘s Cliffside Gate door is an early lesson in how Viewros’ psychic locking mechanisms work. The big gate looms over you with two empty psychic mote sockets and no evident way to extract said motes from anything nearby. At least, if you’re looking through mundane eyes.
Where to find the Psychic Glove in Viewros
The Psychic Glove in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is found in the Arboreal Chapel within the Fury Green area of Viewros. Enter the chapel during your first visit to the region-shortly after arriving via teleportation from the tutorial-and locate the upgrade floating on the central platform in the main chamber.
Access Path
Progress from the Cliffside Gate through the Ancient Path to reach the Arboreal Chapel; no special abilities are required beforehand, making it story-mandatory and unmissable. A brief tutorial activates upon collection, demonstrating its use to manipulate psychic motes and exit the room.
Effects and Usage
This early-game Psychic Ability pairs with the Psychic Visor to telekinetically grasp glowing motes (hold ZL while targeting), enabling puzzles like the nearby Cliffside Gate door. Scan purple psychic objects first, then extract and place motes into receptacles to unlock doors, platforms, or containers throughout Fury Green and beyond.
How do I use the Psychic Glove on motes and objects
Press X to switch to Psychic Visor mode, which reveals purple-glowing psychic motes and objects with targeting brackets. Aim at a mote or compatible object, hold ZL to grasp it telekinetically (Samus pulls it toward her glove), then use the right stick to maneuver it precisely.
Releasing and Placing
Release ZL to launch the mote into a nearby socket, receptacle, or required position, such as door mechanisms or platforms. Motes cannot be extracted from closed sockets once inserted, so position carefully before committing.
Common Applications
Scan psychic locks or containers first to reveal hidden motes in statues or conduits, then extract and socket them to unlock paths. Combine with later abilities like Psychic Lasso for advanced grapples, but the basic Glove handles early Fury Green puzzles like Cliffside Gate seamlessly.
