While exploring the Ice Belt area in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, you will eventually be stopped by some obstacles known as Psychic Locks that block your progress, and you may lose some time opening them. These locks can’t be opened with weapons, materials, or anything else. Instead, each one requires a specific set of TK Codes, which are hidden across nearby areas and chambers. In this Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Ice Belt TK Code Guide, we will show you where each Psychic Lock is located and how to collect all six TK Codes needed to unlock them.
Ice Belt Psychic Lock #1 – All TK Code Locations
Where to Find Psychic Lock #1
The first Psychic Lock appears in the Bio-labs section of Ice Belt. You will see it at the end of a long hallway, just after the path splits into two routes, one to the left and one to the right. You can scan the lock as soon as you reach it, but it won’t activate or unlock until you have gathered the required TK Codes. First, you need to find the TK codes required to open Lock#1.
TK Code #1 – Left-Side Laboratory
Assume you are facing the Psychic Lock#1. You will find the first TK Code in a small lab on the left side of the hallway.
Enter this room. Inside this room, you will notice three green pods. You need to scan the middle pod to activate the TK Code. Adjust the pieces of the code until they form a diamond shape. Completing this shape successfully unlocks the first TK Code.
TK Code #2 – Right-Side Laboratory (Requires Psychic Lasso)
You will also find the second TK Code in a small lab, but now on the right side of the main path. Assume you are facing the Psychic Lock. However, you cannot access it immediately.
Before collecting this code, you must travel to the larger southeast chamber and obtain the Psychic Lasso ability. Once you have it, return to the smaller lab.
Inside, you will see several clear cases holding drained, colorless objects. One case contains an item that is still green. Use the Psychic Lasso on that to remove the case cover, then scan the green object. Complete the shape puzzle shown on your game screen to secure the second TK Code.
Unlocking Psychic Lock #1
After getting both of the TK Codes, you need to head back to the Psychic Lock. The correct solution pattern will appear beside it. Activate the Psychic Visor, then use the Control Beam to trace the pattern directly onto the lock’s surface. Once finished, the lock will unlock.
Ice Belt Psychic Lock #2 – All TK Code Locations
Where to Find Psychic Lock #2
The second Psychic Lock is found in the Medical Bays level, specifically in the Staging Corridor. Shortly after reaching down from the Bio-labs area, you will see the lock on your left side, blocking the main route forward. This lock requires four TK Codes; all located within the Medical Bays level.
TK Code #1 – Corridor Laboratory Canister
The first code is hidden inside a small lab along the corridor that leads away from the Staging Area. At the end of the hallway, enter the unlocked lab on your right. From there, roll into the Morph Ball slot that connects to the next room. Inside, you will find a small canister on a shelf. Scan it and complete the puzzle to claim the first TK Code.
TK Code #2 – Surgery Bay Equipment
You can find the second TK Code in the Surgery Bay chamber, located at the far end of the Medical Bays level. This room contains a medical bed with unusual surgical tools placed above it. Scan these devices to reveal the TK Code, then form the correct shape to complete the puzzle.
TK Code #3 – Recovery Bay Control Room
For the third TK Code, head to the Recovery Bay and locate the small control chamber. There will be a hatch on the door, so you need to use the Psychic Lasso to remove the hatch from the door. Inside, look toward the hanging display screens near the window. One of them is covered in ice. Remove the ice, then use the Lasso again to pull the screen down. After that, you need to scan the item to display the TK code.
TK Code #4 – Storage Bay Central Chamber
You can find the final TK Code in the Storage Bay, inside a large cylindrical central chamber. Here, you will see a crane arm with a frozen powered joint. Break the ice using a missile or charged beam shot. This causes the crane to drop a griever pod into nearby machinery. Interact with the prompt to open the pod, then scan the frozen griever specimen. Complete the shape puzzle to obtain the last TK Code.
Unlocking Psychic Lock #2
Once all four TK Codes are collected, return to the Psychic Lock in the Staging Corridor. Use the same method as Lock#1 to unlock Lock#2.
