Once Metroid Prime 4 players make their way to the Volt Forge, their main goal will be to get the power generator up and running to eventually unlock the suit to ride on Samus' motorcycle, Vi-O-La. Getting to the generator and turning it on isn't that complicated, but some players might get stuck on where to go after you get the power on.

This Metroid Prime 4 guide will show players what to do in the Manufacturing Floor room at Volt Forge to progress through the "dungeon."

Where to Go in Metroid Prime 4 After Turning on the Generator in Volt Forge (Manufacturing Floor)

Become One With the Ball

Once you make it outside of Volt Forge and get the power running, you'll need to go back to the Manufacturing Floor room, which is where you'll find various machines putting together parts of the Vi-O-La.

To get back, you can follow these steps:

Go through the Morph Ball hole that you came in through after the generator is on.
Make your way left through the 2D Morph Ball area with the electricity (make sure to avoid the sparks to conserve Samus' energy).
Keep going, and you'll fall right back onto the Manufacturing Floor.

Here's what to do once you're back on the Manufacturing Floor:

From here, scan the terminal on the opposite side of the room to turn on all component printers and initialize the manufacturing line. You actually need to interact with it after you scan it.
You'll see a bunch of mechanical arms working on pieces of the motorcycle.
If you look closely, one of the machines is working on the cycle's tires, which happen to look exactly like Samus' Morph Ball.
Go into Morph Ball mode, roll onto the tire's spot, and wait for the arm to grab Samus, lifting her to the floor above.
From here, you can find a door leading to the Volt Forge elevator, and you can also activate a lift that'll take you down to the Manufacturing Floor (and back up), so you don't need the help of the mechanical arm anymore.
