Difference between revisions of "Early Power Bomb Expansion"

Revision as of 14:36, 15 December 2004

Discovered by: Zell(concept), Sparky(triggers needed/path), Kip(accomplishing with early screw)

Requirements: Early Screw Attack and Spiderball.

1) Get both the Spiderball and Early Screw Attack.

2) Now go to Sanctuary entrance(where Dark Samus destroys the bridge).

3) Jump on the crate to your right when facing away from sanctuary.

4) Now jump on the pole to your left when facing away from sanctuary.

5) Screw attack to the platform below the turret.

6) Jump up into the Spiderball glass ring below the turret.

7) Screw attack back towards sanctuary and into the glass room with the scan pole(this is the room you would normally access by breaking the glass with a powerbomb).

8) Scan the pole, jump onto it, then jump out of the glass room.

9) Use the morph ball cannon to shoot back up and reach the turret to the right of the bridge.

10) Now proceed as you normally would: destroy the rock wall above sanctuary and above the door on the other side, and the debris to the right of sanctuary's entrance. Then Drop down, spider up to the top of Sanctuary, and screw attack or morph ball cannon across to get the expansion.

Important notes:

- Getting the PB expansion only gives you 1 power bomb

- You still must defeat the PB guardian and obtain the main PB expansion later on for the sky temple key in Dark Agon: Dark Oasis to appear. This trick is still handy for getting PB's early and avoid backtracking until sky temple key collection.

Another way to get early PB without Spider Ball discovered by Frozen Mr. Toastbrot

Requirements: Early Screw Attack

1) Activate the turret as described above (Step 1-8).

2) Get to the Spiderball glass ring again.

3) Turn around to see the metal tower of the bridge and jump onto one of the "arms" of the tower.

4) Look at the floating platform with the turret again and Screw Attack over to it.

5) Once on the upper part of the platform use the turret to destroy the stone in front of the PB Expansion.

6) Screw Attack to the slightly slanted part behind the blue cylinder above the Spider Ball track.

7) Space Jump around the cylinder and start a Screw Attack to the red edge above the door to Power Junction. Delay each jump of the Screw Attack as long as possible, to get the distance needed to reach the red edge.

8) Screw Attack over to the PB Expansion as usual.
