Description and video by: Flamancipator

This is the early power bomb expansion that can be acquired as soon as you've got Space Jump. Using the Secret World in Temple Assembly Site, you can wallcrawl to obtain the expansion from the next room in Secret World state, as shown in this video: Early PBX Temple Grounds

This is currently being considered for different speed usage capabilities and possibly a no-Gravity Boost game. For low% purposes, it does nothing since the Ing Cache in Dark Oasis (I believe it's called) will not appear until you pick up the main Power Bomb upgrade from Power Bomb Guardian.

The video has been edited to include an exit method. It's quite unique and takes probably a few dozen seconds less than the door warping method. Overall this trick takes 2 minutes or so, and I definitely believe this is viable in a speed run using alternate routes.

Note: Another exit method (discovered by: XtraX) was used by DJGrenola in his latest low% speedrun (segment 7). 17% @ Archive.org (outside link)

The ghetto jump over the tree root in Temple Assembly Site is used in the video above. The bsj method can of course also be used. The secret world entrances in Temple Transport B can also be used. After falling to the standard, shoot the door then jump up against the door frame (slightly to the Temple Assembly Site side) to load the room. (Try to slide along the frame, then fall away while touching the frame and the room wall.)

If the ghetto jump method is used to enter the secret world in Temple Transport B, it may be easier to jump to the top of the door frame. From the ledge where you land after the ghetto, turn back to face the door. (Hold R to avoid falling off.) L-lock jump forward, then 45 degrees left with the second jump to land on a higher ledge, closer to the the door (neutral stick at the end of the jump). From that ledge you can easily space jump to top of the tunnel near the door, make your way to the door frame, and load TAS from atop the frame.
