One of the Space Pirate leaders, Ridley, kept his chamber in the deepest part of the region, where it was guarded by immensely powerful enemies. After defeating these creatures, Samus gained access to the first Super Missiles (excluding Sequence Breaks) and the Screw Attack in Zero Mission and Super Metroid, respectively. In Super Metroid, a Golden Torizo was fought in this area. Later, Samus found an Unknown Item (later revealed as the Gravity Suit) before encountering and defeating Ridley for the first time in the Metroid series' chronological timeline. In Zero Mission, Samus encountered and freed the Kiru Giru from Tangle Vines in the upper portion of Norfair only to battle its adult form, the Imago, in Ridley's Lair. Ridley's Lair also contains some of the most powerful creatures encountered in each game it was featured in. In Super Metroid, however, the region is filled with scalding-hot lava which hurts Samus despite the protection of the Gravity Suit. Like the rest of Norfair, Ridley's Lair is themed around extreme heat and contained rooms flooded with lava while the Varia Suit is needed to withstand the high temperature, Samus Aran can only dive and move freely in the lava if she wears the Gravity Suit in Zero Mission. Ridley's Lair is part of a deeper portion of Norfair and is the deepest section of Zebes.
