The Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Rod of Transference puzzle in Fury Green is a relatively short puzzle where you are required to activate multiple Energy Rods at the same time to unlock a plant device at the center of the room. This guide explains how to complete the puzzle.

Upon arriving in the area, there will be a bunch of movable pillars that contain rods facing a specific direction. You'll be able to move each of the pillars by using your Psychic Ability.

Your first objective is going to be aligning every one of these rods to the center so that the direction of the beam will clearly face the target. Some of the pillars may need to be lowered to align them in the same plane.

Be sure to take a moment to make sure that all of the rods are at the same height as well as facing the same direction.

Once the rods are in place and facing the correct direction, use your Thunder Shot attack and shoot it at the tip of the rod.

You will need to shoot them at almost the same time; being slow may not complete this sequence, so you must shoot all of them almost instantaneously.

When all three pillars are energized simultaneously, the central mechanism unlocks and reveals the short expansion within it, completing the puzzle.

The Rod of Transference puzzle is simple and relies primarily on setup and timing. Just be sure to have the rods aligned correctly and follow it. Followed by timing the thunder shot correctly to reap your reward.
