Obstacles to Bypassing Items

Last Updated 09/01/07

Skippable Items: Any% Run

Energy Cells (4)

It looks like you may only need to collect five energy cells in order to access the Pirate Codes that allow you to learn the location of Phaaze. The other four places they are needed are for things off of the main path in the Valhalla.

Energy Tank (Norion)

Discovered by Paraxade

It is possible to skip past the Energy Tank that appears to be in your path. All you have to do is Spring Jump up into the tunnel from a raised portion of the floor to the left of the tunnel entrance, which gives you enough height to land part way into the tunnel and avoid the Energy Tank.
