The Artifact Temple is a room crucial to the plot of Metroid Prime. Located in the Tallon Overworld, it was a prison created by the Chozo to contain the spread of Phazon on Tallon IV. It is sometimes referred to in Chozo Lore as the Cradle. The temple was later opened by Samus Aran to confront Metroid Prime, the source of all Phazon on the planet. The room has its own theme music.
