The Artifact of Elder is the third of the twelve Chozo Artifacts Samus finds on Tallon IV. It is located in the Control Tower, a room in Phendrana Drifts, and can be obtained once Samus has collected the Plasma Beam. To obtain the Artifact, the tower visible from the window after melting the ice covering it must be made to fall by shooting at its base with a Missile. The tower crashes into the side of the room, and Samus can collect the Artifact inside by using the Morph Ball.
