The Hive Totem is a room in the Chozo Ruins in Metroid Prime. Samus is informed by the Hint System to travel here to investigate abnormal seismic activity upon arriving at the Ruins, Prior to the defeat of Flaahgra, acidic water surrounds the central arena. A bridge connects the central platform to another door. When the room is first entered, the Missile Launcher lies on the bridge. On jumping up to the platform and approaching this, the water level is raised to submerge everything but the top of the arena, preventing Samus from escaping. She is then forced to engage the Hive Mecha and its Ram War Wasps. After the battle, rubble from the ceiling becomes dislodged and collapses, forming a ledge so Samus can leave.
