The Scrapyard in Flare Pool in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a key point, and investigating its hidden objectives requires you to explore and solve various environmental puzzles. This guide will explain how you'll be able to get your hands on the Fire Chip.

The structure, which consists of the fire chip in a Flare Pool, appears to be ambiguously sealed. Shooting at the contraption doesn't do much, which often leads people to think that the contraption is just a gimmick.

But instead of making your way through the front of the contraption, you want to hop on the platform behind the structure. These structures provide vertical access behind, allowing you to access the area.

After climbing up the platform from the back, you'll notice that there is a narrow passage that requires you to turn into your Morph Ball state to access it. The passage initially appears to be blocked, but it can be broken to be fully accessible.
