Metroid Prime Sequence Breaking(v. 4.0) [Previously Ice+Grav before Thardus]
Archived byVigama
| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/5/2003 3:27:19 PM |
| OK I went ahead and loaded this one up cause someone's got to do it. This is version 4.0 of the topic "Ice Beam + Gravity Suit before Thardus using Tripple Jump" Current info is as follows: Here is where you'll learn to break Metroid Prime's linearity. Since Part 1, we discovered crazy tricks which includes: -Ice Beam, Gravity Suit, Plasma Beam, Power Bombs, X-Ray Visor, Wavebuster before Thardus -Skipping the Grapple Beam -Going through tricky rooms without spiderball/boostball/grapple beam -Space Jump before Flaahgra -Wave Beam without Space Jump -Skip the Crashed Frigate to get into Phazon Mines -much more..! Best Percentage rate is 27% either with Gravity suit and 4 power bombs or no Gravity Suit and 5 power bombs. To have more information about these tricks, visit one of these websites (they are the same): http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid http://membres.lycos.fr/zellmetroid Current topics of discussion include: - Trying to skip Spider Ball, Super Missles, Charge Beam, Boost Ball, and Varia Suit - Finding a reliable way to get Space Jump early - Getting the Sun Tower artifact without having to drop down after Flaahgra fight - Accomplishing a run through Magmoor to Phendrana without Varia - Any new Sequence of pickup discoveries - Any new Alternate methods of retrieving an item - Any new optimal collection orders for speed runs Input is always welcome. Please check the websites above for current discoveries and roughly page 20 and higher of version 3.0 of this topic discussion to get fully up to date on the current state of affairs. Thanks Solr_Flare |

| On my end, I've got some free time so I'm going to do some work on getting the space jump early by trying to see if the angle of placement on that mid-air morph bomb has any sort of affect on how close you can get to getting up on the ledge. Hopefully I'll turn up some positive results. |
| From: Amasawa | Posted: 2/5/2003 3:33:53 PM |
| not sure if this really helps w/ space jump, since i haven't managed it myself, but altering the angle Samus is at relative to the final bomb is working well to make some of the tougher jumps by sacrificing height for a little added distance. problem is that space jump cliff seems so high... --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/5/2003 3:41:03 PM |
| also, have you tried dbjm/tbjm from the back of samus' ship and trying to get on the ledge behind it? i get insanely close sometimes but just need a little more height. |
| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/5/2003 3:41:54 PM |
| Yeah no kidding on that one...I just have no idea how to pull this off on a regular basis unless somehow we've all become so obsessed with getting up there this this one spot that we are missing a better way up somewhere else...yeah its been tried before in a bunch of places, but not recently to my memory. On a side note....20 attempts so far and I'm already going insane trying to get up there...man you guys have a lot more endurance than I do :D --- Solr_Flare |

| The worst part is since we know it can be done, is when you are trying to attempt this #$$%# thing you don't do it casually at all...you are sitting there analysing and watching every single detail now so that when you do do it you remember how it was done. Sooner or later one of us will figure this puppy out though. --- Solr_Flare |

| i wonder if theres an area around the enterance to the space jump path (the one near the half pipe in tallon canyon) where you can clip onto the wall and perform another jump. who knows, maybe it will work with more than spiderball tracks. --- "He stole our backup plan for just incase!" - Ben from Brave fencer musashi |

| below that ledge you dbjm/tbjm to from the rock you can get stuck off the ground if you push against the wall, but from what i've seen it doesn't reset your jumps, it doesn't even let you jump. =] |
| From: DEVILBIT | Posted: 2/5/2003 5:04:19 PM |
| Also if you have some momemtum when hiting the second bomb the reach extends a bit. BTW, the programers intentionally took measures to prevent this, cause have made some jumps from places that should clear the gap but they didnt. Covered this in like nine pages in my previous topic but got deleted. |
| From: DEVILBIT | Posted: 2/5/2003 5:17:29 PM |

| Also if you have some momemtum when hiting the second bomb the reach extends a bit. That's what I've been concentrating on to make a couple of the trickier jumps needed in Phendrana w/o space jump, and it does help. I've tried using it off the back of the ship and can get insanely close to the edge with a great dbjm, but nothing more.

| Ok, as always from the rock. Was facing more or less backward to the Canyon door, gained momemtum with the second bomb, she just clinched there. Second she gets fried in magmor in case anyone is gonna ask. Took about 15-20 minutes to do so is not a time saver. Havent tryed this method for a long time because was trying to find a more user friendly one but since people here were having a bad time, got the jump before flagra to make any confirmations. And for the sake of KIP master plan. So ask any other questions. |

| When does the big bug starts to appear in main plaza? Didnt see him. Defeated flaghra right now in the room so ask away if anyone wants to. |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/5/2003 6:03:04 PM |
| right before varia is a decent one, but the only reasons i can see for having a save there is if you're interested in running to phendrana/testing out the sun tower situation. when you get to phendrana shorelines is a decent one also. personally i have a save right outside the furnace (no ice beam/grav suit/etc) which i've used in the past for various things, but i'll probably overwrite it later. 100% files are also good since you don't have to worry about dying or anything, but you have to keep in mind that when you find something out, something about the situation might have been different when you actually do it for real (like people forgetting about the existence of the "runic gate" in sun tower). it can cause problems. |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/5/2003 6:05:07 PM |
| just try to reload the rooms/find something new about sun tower... it probably won't work though. i don't know when the bug appears, he's probably triggered by an item like most enemy changes. |
| From: DEVILBIT | Posted: 2/5/2003 6:17:28 PM |
| No, the only thing (not usefull btw) cant space jump to flaghra remains before picking the varia suit and then entering the room again. Didnt have the charge beam bt dont think having that will help much for the cause. |

| More or less good news. Just made the jump from the ship to the ledge by doing the bomb ladder method. But did it with space jump already at least this gives some hope. |

| From: kip | Posted: 2/5/2003 6:57:54 PM |
| yeah. can't get the one in training chamber because there's a thing that blocks you from going in the back way. and there's this one in magmoor workstation but there's wave beam doors all around (plus you need to shoot conduits to get it which requires wave beam). with 2 more tanks and space jump i don't see it being so hard, but i doubt anyone will find a way to get more than 3 for the run since most of them aren't in chozo ruins. |
| From: sevensc | Posted: 2/5/2003 6:58:38 PM |
| ok, i have read all about the bomb ladder method but i don't think i quite get it, from you little drawing, bomb three is in the air and 1 and 2 are on the ground? what the? or are those your jumps using more than 3 bombs? some clarification would be great. |
| From: DEVILBIT | Posted: 2/5/2003 6:59:46 PM |
| Ok managed to reach the ledge by bomb jumping from the left turbine (backwards to the save spot) and morphing into the air. Its important to point to the left of the ledge you are facing because it appears to have a tip a bit closer. This the second time that got there. It appears the method works just need confirmation from someone with a not space jump file. If anyone wich to try suggest you do so. |

| From: DEVILBIT | Posted: 2/5/2003 7:05:45 PM |
| Grabbed the ledge 4 out of 12 tries, if someone with a spance jump less file can confirmed then this trick can be used for SPEED RUNS. So far is working very nicely, can help in speed runs because you have the save right there and if you waste too much time you can just reset the game and try again. |

| So far is bullet proof. Theres a previous post explaining the bomb ladder in this topic maybe pages 2-3. |

| I'm extremely close to making that jump from the ship; I just need a little bit more to make it. I've got Samus as far out as where it looks like nothing's supporting her, but I still can't quite manage it. DEVILBIT, I don't understand what your ascii drawing of the bomb placement means. Should bomb 1 be placed slightly in front of bomb 2 or behind it? --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |
| From: keybladeswordsman | Posted: 2/5/2003 7:49:08 PM |
| Actually, I always keep track of my dbjm and you need more height, not distance. I tried dbjm and I came in contact of the ledge, but I did not reach the top. I'm saying more height is the key.If you can jump high enogh, then morph, then you could make it. ( A dbjm is higher than a normal jump) And I mean doing this from the back of the ship. |
| From: Amasawa | Posted: 2/5/2003 8:00:57 PM |
| hmmm... nah, looks like distance to me. I just need a little more forward momentum; many of the jumps I'm making seem to have plenty of height. Tough to balance this out just right. The jumps in Phendrana were easy by comparison. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |
| From: Banks17 | Posted: 2/5/2003 8:06:10 PM |
| I'm coming Just short of the ledge too, but it looks very possible. I haven't had a perfectly timed dbjm either so, once i find the exact spot to aim at, i should make it =p --- ~Metroid Prime Tricks~ http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| man, she really POPS in midair when you've got the jump just right...

| From: Youkai Sesshoumaru | Posted: 2/5/2003 8:54:51 PM |
| Anyone care to elaborate? Were the three bombs all pretty vertical? About how far left of straight ahead were you pointed, and about when did you morph, before after or at the peak of height? --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!"

| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/5/2003 9:00:28 PM |
| I'd like to also confirm the bomb ladder trick off the ship. I had been experimenting with the off-set positioning like I mentioned at the start of this new thread and hopped back online to check to check up on things and saw devilbit's ladder suggestion. Tried it from the ship and boom...5 out of 15 attempts no problem. This trick might be useful in one or two other spots as well now that I think about it. But what to call it....a dbjL(double bomb jump ladder) perhaps? LOL if I were you guys who have been trying this for ages getting up there and out of nowhere this new method comes along thats fairly reliable I don't know if I'd cheer or break down and cry :) --- Solr_Flare |
| From: Amasawa | Posted: 2/5/2003 9:01:39 PM |
| I can't seem to manage the same feat again, so take this with a huge grain of salt, but it seems like I was practically straight ahead and didn't really need the extra ledge at all. I morphed at the top of the jump. The bombs don't have to be that far out of vertical line if you ask me; I was having good results getting distance earlier today. The key is the momentum timed at the right instants, and getting maximum height out of the bomb jump with a late second bomb and a high 3rd. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |
| From: funkytoad | Posted: 2/5/2003 9:03:40 PM |
| Well, the way I made it, I never did any ladder nonsense, just a dbjm. I did the 2nd and 3rd bombs really quickly, so that I got a lot of momentum from them. --- ABICDEAFGHMIJKSLMNAOPQTRSTAUVWNXYZ http://www.dallasmac.com/acc/catalog.php?user=137 |
| From: Amasawa | Posted: 2/5/2003 9:05:44 PM |
| scratch that first part; I just made it again and was looking for some specific things this time. I was aimed slightly to the left side of the ledge, just to the left of where it starts to bend toward the ship. She was in that standing still pose when she morphed out, but I don't think it really matters; I bet it would work w/ running animation too. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/5/2003 9:09:15 PM |
| True the vertical alignment doesn't need to be off by much to triger this as it adds that extra momentum *but* the more you can pull the few extra inches you can get out of it...but yeah you time it right and LOL she really bounces. BTW Devilbit this whole thing should go to you with the offset stuff because my thought on trying to get up there using momentum/offset bombs was based off the stuff you did post a good while back in regards, if I recall, to bombing your way up to the wave beam without using the space jump. At least I think thats what it was about..but anyway I did remember your posts and thats what made me think that was the variable we were missing in the SJ attempts. --- Solr_Flare |
| From: DEVILBIT | Posted: 2/5/2003 9:11:33 PM |

| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/5/2003 9:30:16 PM |
| Kip, havn't you made it as far as the Monitor Station without varia and without space boots? Basically running out of energy right around the crates right? Well if you can nab that space jump early could that give you the few extra seconds you'd need to make the run without varia? As you said all the elevators are cool rooms meaning you are only about 20 seconds from a cool room where you are dying without space jump. *If* thsoe crates gave you a tiny bit of energy instead of missles and *if* the SJ could shave off just a few seconds it might be possible. Still highly unlikely but maybe possible. Because as it is with the Sun Tower appearing to be unrefreshable without hitting bottom as it is...our only hope of potentially breaking some new ground is somehow pulling that Phendrana run...otherwise we are are pretty much stuck percentage wise..although some more sequence breaking options may show up letting us cut some more time from speed runs. --- Solr_Flare |

| Keyblades: if you can make it to Phendrana then you'll be the first without Varia...well unless you somehow freeze into a magical block of ice and slowly die over the course of 15 minutes or so then that guy with the friend who worked at EB would be the first and I guess somehow redeemed from what appears to be a bunch of BS. But as it stands, no one in here has been able to accomplish or confirm a non-varia phendrana run. --- Solr_Flare |

| Amasawa: Just saw your little bit about asking me for pointers on the TBJM in the Geothermal Core, and I wanted to quickly point out that I made it up there only once, and I think it was some fluke that I did o_O The remainder of my attempts were spent getting hit in mid-air by the nearby Puddle Spore =P Something else to try that I think could be done. First off, is Shore Tunnel a cool room? If so, then this just might work. Get all three available Energy Tanks, then return to Tallon Overworld and head for the Root Cave. Take that transport to Magmoor Caverns, thus making it only five rooms that you have to traverse before reaching the Transport to Phendrana. The reason I ask about Shore Tunnel is that there are crates on either end, so if you can keep resetting them, you can refill your energy before making the dash through Monitor Station. I think it just might be able to work. Once I reset another file, I think I'll give it a shot. -Tim --- <<Prime Discoveries>> http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| Shore Tunnel is NOT cool :( Infact, it's uncool, just like the rest of those damn rooms.

| shore tunnel isn't cool... so the only hope of this is getting small energy from every crate and never missiles, and maybe it being possible to L lock space jump from the first set of crates to the second set in the second room, so that you never have to take more damage from the lava. then you'd need a bulletproof strat for monitor station. i know a few places you can space jump to save time, but you'd still have to be a pro at taking out those turrets and puffers and refilling your health to the point where you enter the 2D room with about a tank left (assuming your energy drain rate is the same there and not faster). i'm unable to get space jump still, but you know i'll test it out some more if i do. i just need to get to monitor station with a decent amount of energy, then see what can be done and how it'd be done. |

| Basically what you do is set up your DBJ on the ship as close as possible to the ledge. Then what you do is this: 1) Lay your first bomb as usual: * ========== 2) Roll back a bit so that you then lay bomb two just slightly off center behind you then return to the center of the normal bomb: ** ========== 3) when you pop in the air, lay the air bomb as usual so it now looks like this: * * =========== 4) When you land quickly roll back then roll forward into the bomb on the ground as it goes off so it propells you forward into the bomb in the air then do the morph thingy as usual. Basically what this does is give you some extra forward momentum. Note there are other ways you can do this like moving forward slightly when the first bomb goes off so that you place the air bomb forward of the 2 normally placed bombs. The more distance you get the furhter you can go but you really only need the vertical alignment to be slightly off so you can add momentum when you jump. If oyu do it right Samus *pops* through the air would be the best way to describe it :) --- Solr_Flare |

| I'll take a run(literally) at the no varia magmoor run as well. I think what I'm going to do is set up a game with Varia and one without. What I'm going to do is get a stop watch and time how long I can survive without Varia down there then try to make it through Magmoor under that time with my Varia suit on. That way I won't keep dying over and over again. :) --- Solr_Flare |

| I finally did it (getting Space Jump early). I tried it using an existing file and successfully DBJM'd up there. Now please tell me that having all the extra upgrades (Space Jump and whatnot) has no effect on your Bomb Jumping ability. If it does, then I'm screwed, since I had to fight with the Control Stick to actually roll up on the ledge. I think if I ran fast enough, and Space Jumped to the bridge in Monitor Station, and used the Ball to roll along straightaways (it goes a bit faster than runnning, I think), it might, just might be possible. Then we'll get to see if the "freezing" actually takes place. -Tim --- <<Prime Discoveries>> http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| I dont have access to MP right now, but Ill try SJ>flaahgra on the weekend. Thanks to everybody, and solrflare that ascii really helped me understand. Anyway, I fail to see the point of a run thru Magmoor w/o Varia... 1) You have to go to Sunchamber anyway, at least for the artifact there. 2) It's probably (definitely?) impossible. 3) You can't cut % from it even if not for the artifact, cuz theres no way you'd make it with 0 E tanks.

| One Q- When do you morph out of the dbj? And would it be easier/possible to do a tbjm instead? BTW, I think a more profitable project would simply be trying to get thru the game as far as possible in a low % run without charge beam (in anticipation of solving the sun tower). I would be willing to pay serious money to anyone legitimately beating OP without it. It might be theoretically possible, but is it humanly possible? I would try, but my skill in MP wouldn't even come close to completing that. One of you might be able to try though. |

| Shame it wouldn't be possible to skip Varia entirely. Has to be gotten to trigger the Sunchamber ghosts and artifact even if one could get all the Magmoor items without it somehow. Well even though my ideas aren't golden, they just keep popping up in my head so I'll say 'em to just put doubts in all your minds and drive you mad. We sure it's the powerbomb... launcher (?) that triggers elite Pirate for that Artifact of Warrior? I mean it's the GETTING of it that makes it possible to wake him and not simply, going in a certain room maybe? Getting the Powerbomb expansion that can be used to skip the Frigate and Gravity suit, and then going through Phazon mines LIKE you were going to get the powerbomb main thing, defeating the cloaked drone, but NOT getting the main Powerbomb upgrade, going into the nearby save station and such, maybe that's all that's needed to make the Phazon Elite triggerable. When you all tried to wake him with just a powerbomb expansion, had you beaten the Cloaked drone and gone through that area at the "start" of the mines? Probably a dead-end, but another idea. At least it would let you skip gravity suit cleanly --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!" Daolon Wong: "That's CHI not CHEESE!" -- Jackie Chan Adventures |

| OP without charge beam is definately possible just using uncharged Plasma its not fun though. I have never tried Ridley without charge though and I wonder if its even possible because don't you need a fully charged beam or missle to pop him in the mouth when on the ground? Hardest part though would be doing a low percent run and getting through the stinkin mines without a charge beam...even on normal difficulty you need a darn near perfect run as has been mentioned before. I don't think anyone has really tried it all the way though as its still a moot point outside of saying you've done it since you still need the bugger. --- Solr_Flare |
| From: Amasawa | Posted: 2/5/2003 11:34:09 PM |
| I tried a lot of different variations with the power bomb, including destroying/not destroying the cloaked drone, trying to trigger the elite pirate two rooms before that (with no success), and using the expansion on the central dynamo instead of getting the main power bomb pickup to destroy it. Yeah, I did go through the "front way" after defeating Omega, and even back into the central dynamo again, but didn't have any luck. I don't think that save point's accessible; it's locked until you pick up the main power bomb IIRC. I'm pretty sure that I covered all the bases, but it's been a while since I messed with this so it's hard to remember exactly which options I covered, and I could have missed something in the first place so I do encourage other people to try it and see if they have better luck. It would be great to be able to skip it altogether. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| i know i could beat him without it on hard, i'm probably not the only one either. i'd have to revise my strategy though (the whole "fully charged shot then 8 normal shots" thing). can't say it'd be easy though, with ice troopers no longer being freezable, and so on. but all the other bosses wouldn't really be any harder for me except ridley, since nowadays i just use charged plasma shots to stop his charge attempts when he's almost dead. since it's still possible to dodge all his faster charges though (trebor did it), he'd still be possible to beat, it'd just be about whether you're capable of dodging the charges or not. heh, all i hope is that uncharged plasma shots don't kill omega pirate so slowly that you end up having to wait for the 5th time he goes invisible instead of 4th as it is now on low % hard... hard enough to survive 4 waves, but 5, ugh. |

That's not likely though. aaaaaaargh. Well the only notion I have is to try getting a missle expansion before the missle launcher somehow. Then maybe one could fight Flaahgra AND hive mecha last. For no good reason at all, since that doesn't lower percent either. Ah well. Good luck getting to phendrana. I'll be sitting back and watching you all try until I manage to get space jump early myself. And as for now, South Park's on and then adult swim so after hours and hours of trying for that space jump I'm done experimenting today. Heheh, hive mecha last.

| hmm a missile expansion before the launcher... that one in the main plaza would probably be the only chance, if there's some way to do it with single jumps. if not, then you'd have to find a way to get space jump without using bomb jumps. if you can do that, then it'd be easy to grab that expansion in main plaza. only problem then is encountering a situation similar to the phazon elite and power bomb... like if it didn't let you destroy missile door locks unless you had the launcher. =P |
| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/5/2003 11:56:59 PM |
| Well..I don't see how we could go in complete reverse order as if we can manage to get through without the varia there is no way to skip Omega Pirate and go to Ridley by getting the artifact of the newborn because its hard enough with all the other suits equiped..without the extra damage protection of Varia and Gravity it would be nigh impossible. Could we run through without Varia though and figure out how to get past the *other* trouble spot for the spider ball we could do Omega, Thardus, Flaahgra, Ridley, Prime :) Of course if we could find a way to get up the suntower and past Quarantine without the spider ball then conceivably we could just skip Thardus all together LOL I'd be curious to see what if any potential on a speed run skipping flaahgra for last would have since you have to go back there at some point for the artifact anyway, just skipping past him the first go around could shave off at least a couple of minutes as you could just deal with him *and* the artifact at the same time. --- Solr_Flare |
| From: Youkai Sesshoumaru | Posted: 2/5/2003 11:59:46 PM |
| You might beat him quicker with the plasma beam and such for one.

| I'd jsut like to mention one thing... even if one could climb up to the Sunchamber artifact without the super missle, skiping the Charge Beam is still impossible, why? Because, you can't beat Meta-Ridley without it,only a charged shot and missles have any effect on the grounded form( I'm talking about shooting his mouth here so you can shoot his chest) unless you got really lucky, kept all the "artifact pillars" in one peice and never let Ridley charge at one untill you needed a missle refill, but the possibilties of this happening, and being able to shoot Ridley enough times before you've run out of possible "Missle Refills"(Because Ridley will take out about 8-10 pillars during phase 1) is nigh impossible, ESPECIALLY in Hard mose. So essentially, the lowest you can get is 26%(14% in terms of actuall "Powerups", not counting the artifacts). That is all. |

Considering how far up a single bomb propells you in that area, it provided ample time to charge up enough boosting power to see what direction you'll go. Of course, that was in water....but, I'm just saying that the games physics do allow the boost ball to launch you vertically. |

| Well, I made some more progress towards getting a no boost ball game, in my efforts to get more missiles in my space jump before flaahgra file (I'm at 80 now ^_^). In the ruined shrine, the room where you get the morph ball, and need the boost ball to get to a missile expansion, and the wave beam door that leads to life giver, I've gotten up without the boost ball. K, first of all, get onto the halfpipe, and face the wave beam door. Now turn 90 degrees left, and face the wall of the half pipe. Walk forward as far as possible, and Lock your view. You're now going to jump once left, and once forward, where you can land on a small branch type thing, that's completely flat, and underneath the upper platform (scout it out before you make the jump, it's pretty easy to spot). Once you're on here, keep your view locked, and make one jump right, then jump back left, onto the platform. You can now get the missle expansion. Now to get to the wave beam door. If you look towards the middle of the room, you'll see a long branch in front of you. Face parallel to the direction of the branch, lock your view, and jump left twice to get onto it (first jump for distance, 2nd jump for aiming. Once you're on here, you can use a lockspring double jump to get to the wave beam door platform (or even slightly lower to the left of it there's a small spot to land as well). So yeah, if we can figure out life grove without boost ball, and geothermal core, this could be good ^_^ --- ABICDEAFGHMIJKSLMNAOPQTRSTAUVWNXYZ http://www.dallasmac.com/acc/catalog.php?user=137 |

| Nice Job there Funkytoad....LOL out of nowhere no boost ball may end up somehow being possible..although based on our latest results with other stuff we'll probably end up with either A) 1 room that no matter what we still need it for or B) Someone will pull it off once then we'll all blow our brains out for 3 to 4 weeks before someone out of nowhere comes up with an easy method LOL --- Solr_Flare |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/6/2003 6:17:51 PM |
| geothermal core is a problem. you'd have to get inside of the socket where you place a morph ball bomb without using the spinners. for what it's worth i've already tried it and i couldn't do it. a tbj from under the socket didn't get me in there, nothing seemed to work. but, if you can find a workaround for geothermal core and getting the chozo artifact in life grove without using the spinner there, everything else could also probably be worked around. also... isn't the super missile in some kind of case that doesn't open before you make the hologram appear in observatory? course that wouldn't matter if someone can grab onto the track above the blockage in sun tower. |
| From: Amasawa | Posted: 2/6/2003 6:24:52 PM |
| no, the super missile is still sitting on the platform where you eventually find it and isn't blocked by anything, but until you activate the device with spinners the platform is very high up, for all practical purposes out of reach even from the highest platforms. If someone can find a way to reach it, it could still be snagged w/o using the boost ball though. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| Update btw on my attemtps at the magmoor run. Remember I'm testing this by using a game with the varia suit on and limiting myself to the amount of time Samus can survive in Magmoor without the varia by using a stopwatch. So this isn't completely accurate but I'm trying to get some good practice in. As is I can make it to the Monitor station but I run out of time there....I still think this may be do-able. I might start experimenting with mixing in the morph ball more to see if I can stretch things out more too. If anyone has some good advice on space jump scale points in the monitor station I'd appreciate them as well...if this can be done its going to be dang close. --- Solr_Flare |

| Well if you ask me all the speed and damage-avoiding in the world cut it getting to Phendrana elevator. It's all going to lie in replenishing energy along the way. If it's possible to find a room along the way with crates or lots of enemies that you can refresh faster than your energy goes, you could make some sort of energy profit. I've spent a little time looking for a place like that, the only reasonable thing I found was Moniter Station coming from Shore Tunnel. If you open the door to moniter station, you can shoot the crates on the right of the door and draw the powerups in with your charge beam without even actually entering the room or letting the gun turrets rip you apart. Run back a little ways through shore tunnel and Moniter station will refresh. If you're lucky getting power ups you might actually gain energy by repeating this. Of course, I can't say for sure because I'm not using a stopwatch to time how long this process takes in my 100% game and I can't get that far without Varia to see if I lose more life than I gain doing this. I've gotten close, gotten TO shore tunnel, just not with any life left. I could do it if I could avoid ALL extra damage I think but I can't manage it. I always fall in the lava in Firey Shores or get hit with a celing flamethrower or something. But anyway, there's some hope maybe I'll try it later myself, but for now I'm off to get some McRibs.

| Well first of all, I'VE beaten the game with Varia Suit and Spider Ball. I'm amazing! XD You don't need the Boost Ball for that room you mentioned (what was it called again? The Ventilation Shaft or something to that effect?), there's no reason you would, it's just a normal hallway to the door... to go back through you would, but if you get the items in the right order, you wouldn't need to go back through that way, I think. (There's probably a way anyway, possibly TBJ'ing.) Ore Processing has been gotten around with clever Space Jumping, and I'm pretty sure you simply didn't need the Spider Ball for the Impact Crater anyway. I know what room you're talking about, but I think just simple jumping solves the problem. --- "I gets soooooooooooooo annoying!" ~ BlueWizard13 "I love to hear people praise me so please feel free to tell me how good I am." ~ jibtothemax |

| also, there is another potential problem unless there's something i'm missing: if both super missile and boost ball aren't needed, then you can't go to thardus from the front, and you have to go through observatory... but you can't lower the super missile platform without boost ball, so how do you get further in the pirate base? you could go through twin fires and forget about the observatory, but let's say it was low % hard... is it really possible to do that dbjm before you die? i've tried to find another way past that place that doesn't involve the lava but i can't so far, i can get really close to jumping under the spider ball track on the elevator's side though. maybe from there you could space jump on the track. |

| Well I'm taking a break from my test runs in magmoor...I think this weekend I'll switch back over to my without Varia file and see what I can do from there. Health is going to be important though....I had an interesting thought though regarding killing stuff to pick up health...I'm wondering if rapid firing my missles at groups of enemies inbetween vaccuum charging in all the powerups might not be a more efficient way of blowing stuff up...but that may also leave you with more missle powerups than health. Refresh just might work though...some rapid fire missles at those monitor station cannons and crates might take em out fast enough to net you some powerups. This is going to be tough but with a little bit of luck and *just* the right sequence of killing stuff I still think this is possible. But gotta take a break now...head spinning LOL --- Solr_Flare |

| To beat a dead horse, can you freeze pirates and maybe stand on them in the observatory? I think the problem with that one is that when you go around to the top of the observatory from twin fires, the closest space pirates to you are across the room on the platform near the save station, and don't move because the trigger's down below. You can shoot them to make 'em move, but I don't *think* they will jump all the way over to the platform you're standing on (not sure about that though). Anyway Samus usually slides off frozen enemies doesn't she? (you prolly know better than I do but were suggesting this anyway just in case, I'm guessing) --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/6/2003 11:16:30 PM |
| either she slides off or you can land on them for a while but it doesn't give you your jumps back so you can't do anything anyway (from what i've seen it doesn't even let you jump until you move off). |

| let's say it was low % hard... is it really possible to do that dbjm before you die? yep, it's possible. I may not have mentioned it before (can't remember for sure) but I tried it the other day and was able to get through twin fires on Hard mode with just 99 energy (varia suit). It was a royal pain in the ass to get the timing down though and took me many tries before I finally got it. It's not a difficult jump to make, but you've basically got one shot and that's it under those conditions. Plus, you have to carefully refill energy in the rooms afterwards to make sure you don't bite it on the way to the save point. =|.

| Just so y'all know, I had a thought about getting that first energy tank in the Frigate for 4, maybe with space jump there's a better chance of getting to it by pulling some weird wall-hopping like was done for the Light Tower Artifact. I know there's an ice door blocking the way to the Frigate but the "boundary" of that room is just so freaking wierd and jagged I thought maybe I could clip my way through. Pull a secret-worlds go through the wall glitch.

While in the triple bomb jump, I run out of bombs by the Third Jump, and I end up doing a Double Bomb Jump instead. It goes like this. *Place Bomb 1.* *Place Bomb 2 RIGHT before Bomb 1 explodes.* *Place Bomb 3 at my peak of jump* Now, as you see, I'm out of bombs. And I end up doing a Dbj. HELP! (3.) How do I get the Plasma Beam? I know I need the Grapple Hook, which I don't have nor do I want to get it, so could you tell me where it is and how to get it using Tricky Jumping/TBJ? (4.)

| 1) The only place i can currently think of is the Vault. The only way to get that Missile Expansion is with a dbj. 2) You're not doing it correctly. You have to do a single bomb jump first, then as soon as you land, then start doing the part you're trying to do. The first single bomb jump is to jumpstart the bomb recharging sequence. Check out zell's site, it explains exactly how to do this, and it works too. 3) Check zell's site. 4) Check the FAQs. The hint system, if enabled, should tell you when it's time to get it. Unless of course you screw up the hint system by getting things early, or you want to skip the Grapple Beam. Or, just check the FAQs. If it's your first time through, then you should definately avoid trying any of the tricks in this topic.

| About that Dynamo room in the Chozo Ruins (near the location of the Charge Beam): Has anyone tried to see if the Spider Ball Track "Clipping Bug" can work there? Second, it IS possible to get to the energy tank in the Frigate without the Gravity Suit. I did it the other day when I was goofing around in there. Question about the "Plasma Beam Before Thardus": I can do a majority of the stuff, up until that part where you need to jump onto those Spider Ball square thingies that have a light in the middle, and then I usually wind up missing the jump and falling all the way down. Now, the problem appears to be that the first Spinner Platform can't be reached via the Space Jump method after you've used the spinner, as if the platform under it was about a foot shorter than the main one (the one that gets raised). I tried it about 5 times; it simply seems as though you can't get to it with a Space Jump. So, I finally gave up and got the Spider Ball from Thardus, then got the plasma beam. |

| Ragnarok72- as kip said, it's possible to get back on the spinner platform after raising them.. use the L-Lock spring jump (my video was done with the platform raised) Mariodood- the L-Lock spring jump gives you 1-2 feet of extra distance. To do it, L-Lock your view down (if you dont know how to L-Lock, refer to the site). now, while looking at the floor, run and jump as you would usually. when in the air, release the "L" button and your view will "spring" back to normal position (in front of you) so you won't see the floor anymore... this "spring" motion of the view gives you 1-2 extra feet. you can release "L" in your first or second jump, doesnt matter. hope this helps ;) --- BtT: 3:53.77 - HRC: 44,025.3 Ft. - 10MM: 3:27.70 http://membres.lycos.fr/zellmetroid - http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| >Ragnarok72- as kip said, it's possible to get back on the spinner platform after raising them.. use the L-Lock spring jump (my video was done with the platform raised) Yeah, in hindsight I figured you could probably use an L-Lock spring jump. By the way, I think someone around here mentioned a "Dormant Thardus Glitch"? Is he talking about how Thardus doesn't activate immediately (giving you ample time to scan him) if you enter his chamber from the back door? |

| i don't know what that dormant thardus glitch or whatever is, but it's true you can scan him before the battle (and walk into his lifeless body and take damage) if you enter from the back. might be possible to scan him before the battle from the front way too, i haven't tried very hard. |

| From: funkytoad | Posted: 2/7/2003 11:11:33 PM |

| Hmmm, I too managed to get a bomb to push me UP. Using spiderball, from right UNDER the gate, I let go so I dropped straight down for a second and set a bomb in mid-air, then I re-attatched to the track and moved back up, then fell down ONTO the bomb I had set in mid-air and it shot me UP Unfortunately, I keep hitting the bottom of the gate and am bounced back down. If I can set the bomb in mid-air farther OUT from the track, perhaps by using a bomb to propel me out, then I might make it the problem is the bombs explode to fast to climb up that spiderball track and do this silliness and still make it up there before it explodes --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!"

| Yay, kip's here to help me. Get on the dang IRC channel, no one's there and I want to discuss this! It's not painful to do the sideways 90 degree double bomb jump. It just sounds painful. I'm getting tired of saying that, SNDDBJ. The only hard part is getting your starting position and the placement of the bombs correct. Just do a double bomb jump that propels you sideways instead of forward so bomb 3 is to the side of you instead of above you. Then maneuver so you end up on TOP of that bomb. You know the post with the thing I could see in my head? Forget that. It's confusing. Here I'll delete it because it's useless. BUT I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA AAH I'm still excited from getting as high as I did If I can do that SNDDBJ again, but wasting a bomb first to start recharging for a TRIPLE bomb jump bomb 2 3 and 4 Are placed like I describe, when I get to point 4 I place bomb 5 and at the peak of my jump I place bomb 6, so bomb 5 and bomb 6 at like a VERITCAL double bomb jump. It's a triple bomb jump that makes a turn in the middle. AAAAH. Someone help me try it! It might get high enough!

| From: Youkai Sesshoumaru | Posted: 2/8/2003 8:10:40 PM |
| Yay I just did it three more times! I'm gonna have to get really good at getting that high before I try any triple bomb jump craziness though Basically what I did with the buttons was this: Start holding R, as high on the spiderball track as you can go WITHOUT holding up on the control stick. Control stick at this point is neutral Hit A for the first bomb Before it explodes, You hit A and release R at the same time for the 2nd bomb You hit A and hit R and hit Up on the control stick at the same time for the 3rd bomb You again release R and hold up as the 2nd bomb hits you into the 3rd bomb That's the best I can explain I'm afraid. I was beginning to think all that double bombing I did for an early space jump was useless, but it seems it was very good practice for this Maybe Zell can get a video up of at least that much if he has a save file with spiderball but before opening that gate. Although it's not the same as getting all the way up the grate, I have a strong feeling that mastering this is the first step to it. Once I can do this reliably and with every attempt, only then will I try to build on it. --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!"

| my way makes it impossible to do a tbj though, i think, since 2 bombs are set early almost at the same time. so although it seems easier to get it to make you go up, we only 1 have more bomb to work with this way, and it has to get you high enough to grab onto the track above the gate. |

| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/8/2003 11:00:50 PM |
| So, based on your method you guys are popping up there but when you place a bomb up there to shoot you higher you'r falling past it before it can propell you upwards correct? Well then what you need to do is use the tbj bomb refill technique. I'm not there on my saves to try it out so I can't try this out myself till tomorrow...but try this Burn a bomb like you suggested Sess...then as soon as you guys get propelled upwards...that very instant place a bomb, then, with the refill action, place one at the height of your bomb jump...so that way you fall back down, get shot back up to the bottom of the symbols. If timed right, you should hit the last bomb as it goes off...effectively 90 degree TBJ up over the runic gate. --- Solr_Flare |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/9/2003 12:05:44 AM |
| heh heh, i made it on top of the structure with the energy tank in that room where it tells you you can't go any further without the grav suit. i doubt it's possible to get to the top though since the jumps only get worse from here, but i'll try. |
| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/9/2003 12:06:09 AM |
| OK guys...Sess asked me to update everyone on this...we've been working on it in chat...he is almost there..he just needs the timing to be perfect. Here is what you do 1) Attatch to the rail 2) Hold down to stretch below the rail(ie fight it) then place a bomb and start moving up at the exact same time. This burns the bomb you'll need to take care of. 3) Using this timing you head up to the top and immediately place bombs 1 and 2 using Kip's method. You'll start refilling imediately. 4) Right as you go to get shot up in the air plant bomb 3. 5) Near the peak of your jump place bomb 4 6) You should now fall down and hit bomb 3 propelling you actually slightly higher than bomb 2 did. 7) Then bomb 4 goes off and propells you up. The timing on bomb 4 needs to be just right though and Sess is trying to master it right now. But once its nailed down, bomb 4 should clear the gate. We are just about there...we just need to nail the timing for one single bomb and we should be clear! --- Solr_Flare |
| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/9/2003 12:10:40 AM |
| correction on the above...he's working on a 5th bomb placement to try make it the whole way..thats what he's working on now. Essentially setting up a tbj...anyone who wants to help it would be appreciated. Bomb 4 gets him slightly above halfway. also one additional note...if you hold down R you get a consistant height from the blasts from bombs 1 and 2. --- Solr_Flare |

| fortunately it's not hard to get there. there's a series of super ghetto jumps you can do to just barely make it to the next part (very hard), but later i found that if you push samus against the wall in morph ball mode, she sticks there. so once you get on top of the thing with the energy tank, all you have to do is bomb your way up and it's easy. can also boost ball, but sometimes you'll go down. better to use morph ball bombs kind of. |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/9/2003 1:54:27 AM |
| man, i don't know what to do about this. there's only 1 part you have to go down, but water's there pushing you up to the energy tank. if there's a way past that then you can just let it push you up when you get to the end, since you want to go up to the exit. |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/9/2003 2:00:04 AM |
| ok, sometimes when you boost ball against the wall, she goes down. and if you press against the wall she stays there. but problem is next time you boost ball/use a bomb, she goes back up unless i'm doing something wrong. so i don't know how to make her go down enough times that i can move past the part where water is pushing you up to the energy tank... ideas? |

| If anyone out there has a before Flaahgra file and wants to help me out a bit, go beat Flaahgra and see if you can jump down the suntower and land ON the runic gate. Like on the top of it. So I know if I should focus on mixing in some morphing at the end of my bomb jumps for extra height.

| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/9/2003 2:04:11 AM |

| From: Youkai Sesshoumaru | Posted: 2/9/2003 2:07:32 AM |
| Kip, I have a thought for you Samus will BOOST in the direction she is FACING at a standstill against the wall, your direction changes to up because you are being pushed that way Boost down, before you go down all the way lay all 3 bombs so they are above you When they explode, you should have SLIGHT movement downards, maybe. If so, if you had enough time to charge up your boost ball a little, your boost should go down some more, as long as you are MOVING DOWN when you boost --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!"

| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/9/2003 2:09:27 AM |

| From: kip | Posted: 2/9/2003 2:30:06 AM |
| i need to find out how to do that thing that makes her go way down consistently. 3 of those and you'd probably end up at where the water starts to push you to the tank. then 1 or 2 more and you could get past the water maybe. i just still can't make her do 2 boosts down in a row. |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/9/2003 2:40:09 AM |
| youkai, i think you're right about the direction she boosts being dependant on the direction she's facing. the reason why it seems like she only goes down about 1 out of 4 boosts is because she suddenly faces down. i have to find some kind of foundation to work on though. i'm just boosting and praying. need to see if there's a way to boost down twice in a row. |

| Okay, I'm burned out. I spent 7 hours perfecting this technique and I've got a headache and canno' go on right now. I shall explain in utter detail as best I can how I got as high as I did, maybe a fresh pair of eyes can improve on it for that extra inch we need. Okay, first off, this is tough to do. It takes practice, and you must practice it in steps as I had to. Unless you're more skilled than I, but what are the odds :P Practice each step until you are REALLY good at it, because to do the next thing at all, you have to be really good at the step before it. Here goes. Getting up Suntower without opening the runic gate. Spiderball required. Needless to say, explode the war wasp hives first. You don't need them bugging you. Throughout all of this (after step 1) keep holding R as well as UP on the control stick. Don't let go unless you've got this down pat and are trying to tweak it to see if letting go helps with height. Bomb 1: Burning out. Placing bomb 1. Okay, going up the runic gate takes 5 bombs all at once. The problem is you only have 3. Ah but aren't you clever, you can turn a 3 into a 5 as easily as an Enron accountant. In the suntower, with the spiderball, latch onto the spiderball track using R. Now push Down. Hold Down. When you're as far down as you can go (you shouldn't even be touching the track, just close to it stuck by magnetics) you are in proper position Press A AND HIT UP at the SAME TIME. From this point on do not stop pressing UP on the control stick. You'll lay a bomb and go up the track. I worked it out so this exact location makes you waste enough time to make the bombs refil riiight after you place 2 and 3. So when you get near the top of the track, you place them as I describe below: Bombs 2 and 3: Going Up. These two are the first REAL bombs you place. Get good at placing them like so: Going UP the spiderball track, look at your speed. As soon as you slow down from going over the "corner" near the top, place bomb 2. Then place bomb 3 right afterwards. They should not be EXACTLY in the same spot, but pretty darn close. You placed bomb 2 right as you were going up the corner, and bomb 3 as you at just about as high as you could go. Keep holding up Bomb 2 should propel you horizontally a little ways and bomb 3 should propel you up. I'm not sure why it works this way, but it does. It'll make you go up the runic gate. If you did this correctly, you should go up about as high as the lower runic symbols. If you draw a line through the center of the two bottom runic symbols, the center of YOU, should go AS HIGH OR HIGHER than that. If it doesn't go this high, don't go to the next step, you need to get good at doing this one right first. If your timing was good, you not only went as high as I said you should, but you placed them both before your bombs refilled, but not too long before. Your bombs refilled JUST after placing bomb 3. Once you've got it, continue as follows |
| From: Youkai Sesshoumaru | Posted: 2/9/2003 3:01:14 AM |
| Bomb 4: The Jump-Start. The timing for this one is difficult, and I can't really give you many tips. In a double bomb jump, you place your second bomb just before the first explodes. This bomb acts like that one, but don't place it so late, place it way earlier than you think you should It is placed right at the same spot as bomb number 3 was placed If your timing was right, you will go as high as the bottom runic symbols from bomb 3 propelling you up. When you fall back down, this bomb, bomb 4, should explode and propel you up AGAIN If it exploded too late or early to propel you up again, adjust your timing and try again. This one is tough to master, so keep at it. If you did it correctly, you go HIGHER for some reason than bomb 3 propelled you. You should go about halfway up the runic gate HALFWAY. Any less and you need to keep trying. Every inch counts in this. Once you can go that high about 4 out of 5 tries, give the next one a shot. It gets worse, you have been warned. Bomb 5: the Booster This one is worse than bomb 4, believe it or not After you have placed bomb 4 and after bomb 3 explodes and propels you, you want to place this bomb, bomb 5 about halfway to the peak of your jump Why only halfway? I'm not sure, but any higher and it will not explode soon enough for it to hit you and make you go up If you placed this correctly, approximately 1/4 of the way up the runic gate, maybe a bit higher, then this is what will happen Bomb 3 explodes, you go up, place bomb 5 as you are going up halfway to the peak of your jump, you go down, bomb 4 explodes and propels you up into bomb 5 which explodes and propels you even higher You should be about 2/3 of the way up the runic gate from this bomb. Not quite as high as the top runic symbols, but reasonably close This one takes lots of practice, if you aren't about 2/3 of the way up, or you feel you could have gone higher, keep trying. You need this one DOWN before placing the last one Bomb 6: The Final Stretch This one isn't so bad, bomb 5 was the worst one. If you have that down, this one should be okay Place this bomb at the peak of your FIRST ascent after being blown up by bomb 3. In other words, right after bomb 5. This one is placed about half way up the runic gate Timing is everything If you placed it right, after bomb 5 propels you up, bomb 6 explodes and propels you higher still. |

| The Result Here is a crude drawing to give you an understanding of the process ------- runic gate top F E D C ------- runic gate bottom B A You burned a bomb as mentioned in the first step, when you get between point A and B, place bomb 2 at point B place bomb 3, very quickly after 2 wait a little bit, place bomb 4 at point B still still holding UP and R for all of this Bomb 2 and 3 explode propelling you upward to point D On your way up to point D You place bomb 5 at point C You place bomb 6 right after at point D You fall down you fall into bomb 4 at point B, it explodes and sends you into bomb 5 at point C which explodes and sends you higher As you rise and pass point D, bomb 6 explodes adding massive upward momentum the combined upward thrust of bombs 4, 5, and 6, as you went through points B C and D send you up so hard that you pass point F and the top of the gate If you did it as well as I did, you got red leaves to fall off of the red leaf plant because you went so high. A couple times I got about 2/3 of the morph ball ABOVE the top of the runic gate HOWEVER, I could not get higher. I only got that after about 6 hours of screwing with this and I kinda burned out for today I have not made it to the top, but by getting better at doing this, adjusting placement of bombs 5 and 6, or maybe releasing R at some point, or morphing at the end, or just getting better timing or tweaking something else, the top can be reached I'm sure. Go nuts. And believe me, if you do this, you will go nuts. Thanks to Kip for inspiring placement of bombs 2 and 3 Thanks to Solr_flare for inspiring placement of bomb 5 Thanks to me for putting 7 damned hours into it today and getting a headache. Good luck. I hope you get to the top, so I don't have to try anymore ;) --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!"

| hydro access tunnel isn't going anywhere either. i have an idea of how to get through it, but i only get one shot each time because if i screw up she gets pushed to where the energy tank is and that's the point of no return unless there's something i'm missing. hopefully someone else will try it out too. here's the easiest way to get there, all of this is without gravity suit: cargo freight lift to deck gamma: go to the first conduit in this room, then notice the wall to the right of it. you want to lock your view on the conduit and move against the wall. then do a jump and move to the right SLIGHTLY, but stop after that and start moving left. if done correctly samus jumps as if the water isn't hindering her movement. don't hit her head on anything, and as you're moving left, space jump and move toward the top of the structure at the peak of the jump. with a little practice it's easy to land on the top. from here, space jump to the platform with the first reaper vine using the same premise; pushing against the wall to start the jump for extra height and then moving away. it helps a little if you have the plasma beam since you can kill the reaper vines. jump up and shoot the second conduit from the platform with the reaper vine, then go into ball mode. push against the sloped ground and you'll notice samus stays at where she's at. just bomb/boost ball your way to the last platform in the water. once you get there, turn around, away from the sloped ground. do that same jump against the sloped ground, then do your second jump at the peak and move toward the top. you'll barely land on it. shoot the last conduit and proceed. it shouldn't be a problem getting to hydro access tunnel from here. if a better explanation is needed somewhere, ask and i'll answer if i'm around. i also wouldn't mind people trying to get through hydro access tunnel (without the gravity suit obviously). there's another way to get near the last platform without using ball form, but it's incredibly complicated and there's no point of me going into detail about it when an infinitely easier way exists (simply bombing your way up). |

| Just to add to the Rune gate method....for those who have it down take note of the following: you know how Sess said to hold down R right? Well if you hold down R then the height you get shot up to after bomb 3 is always consistant. But, if you don't hold down R when they go off things get weird. Either A) You won't gain as much height as when you do hold R or B) You actually go a little bit higher off the blast from bomb 3. This little extra height is probably all we need to clear the rune gate and latch on above it. I'm not sure why the height of the jump isn't consistant but I'm almost 100% confident its because of the timing...specfically you have to let go of R just at the right time otherwise you drop down just a fraction of a inch before the bombs go off thus loosing some height and hurting the momentum. So, if you can get the timing just right and be able to let go and not press R again until you peak after bomb 6, then you should be able to shift the placement of bombs 4, 5, and 6 a bit higher and thus gain the extra 1/3 of a morphball thats needed to clean the gate. So once you get the technique down as explained above...if you want to try for more height...work on not holding R starting from the instant bombs 2 and 3 go. This is definately doable and once we get this..we can leave off charge and super missles. --- Solr_Flare |

| Well kip, we just made immense progress towards what was considered impossible yesterday. A 24% game :P. Go us! Of course you realise if the boost ball is the only way to Hydro Access, and thusly Mines Sans Gravity, then that seals all hope of eliminating boost ball Just as the hope of skipping super missle my methods supplied also sealed all hope of eliminating spider ball And everything else is pretty much required by law. I fear 24%, if we can get it, is surely the boundary --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!" Daolon Wong: "That's CHI not CHEESE!" -- Jackie Chan Adventures |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/9/2003 3:34:21 AM |
| boost ball isn't needed to get to the tunnel, but past it... it probably is cuz i can't imagine how you'd do it without it. the only thing i can think of that would work (hopefully there's other ways i'm not aware of), is doing that thing that makes samus go WAY down right when she enters the current that pushes you up to the energy tank. perhaps that would make her go down enough to get through the current... i'll check how low it goes in my 100% game soon. also, i need to load my game again and go through phazon mines the back way, then go to the rooms after hydro access tunnel. because i want to make sure you can get out of the last bits of water in tallon overworld without grav suit; if you can't, and someone found a way past hydro access tunnel, that would be very depressing. i'd like to spare everyone the pain of that if i can. =[ |

| Well Kip, I hope you can pull it off...if for some reason you can't...I will say that the Sun Tower bomb jumping looks like its going to work. So, even if we can't skip the Grav suit without getting an extra expansion, we probably are going to want to skip the grav suit anyway because without a charge beam, an extra PB would be worth it for the OP fight. --- Solr_Flare |

| P.S. Funky, if you still have that file before battling OP, try laying a power bomb and switching to Scan Visor.

| Well like we were discussing in chat....basically if this stuff works out and we skip the charge beam and super missle...I don't think it'll be beatable in hard mode without them. Normal, sure..but no way on hard for that low a percentage...add in skipping grav if you get your method to work Kip and it would be just about unbeatable on hard.

| Hey guys...something just occured to me so I came back online before it slipped my mind. I really really hate to be the bearer of bad news but even if Kip gets the Skipping Gravity suit to work and Sess gets the Rune Gat ebomb jump to work....we will still never ever be able to get lower than 25% completion. Why do you ask will we not be able to get 24% Because unfortunately we have all forgot something kinda important....power conduits...you have to have the charge beam to be able to activate a power conduit. Maybe, just maybe you can get around that if you use the existing method of skipping the gravity suit by grabbing an extra power bomb expansion. But if Kip manages to make it through the frigate and let us skip Gravity we will have no choice but to at least grab the charge beam because we *have* to have it to power up those conduits in the shaft. So no matter what...25% will likely be the lowest we can ever hope to go. --- Solr_Flare |

| ok guys, i went through phazon mines the back way and checked out the room after hydro access tunnel with the varia suit, which is great tree hall. even without the gravity suit it's easy to get out of the water, just space jump up the steps. so the only obstacle should be hydro access tunnel, but i had to make sure. it's weird how in waste disposal you move as if you had the gravity suit though, no water pushing you up. |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/9/2003 5:25:54 AM |
| and as for how low the current to the energy tank goes, it's not too far. not that short but not too far either, it seems shorter than the distance from the energy tank to where you enter the current. and the good news is that if you can fight your way past that one, that's the only part where you need to go down but it pushes you up. after that there are 2 currents that you can just ride up to great tree hall. so, find a way past the current that goes up to the energy tank, and gravity suit can be skipped without getting a power bomb expansion. |

Well guess dopey I made it up the runic gate Using the EXACT method I described and a morph at the end for a little extra height YEAH BABY SUPER MISSLE SKIPPED CHARGE BEAM SKIPPED 25 percent can be achieved At the peak of my jump after bomb 6 I morphed and I got there The top of the runic gate CAN be stood on I did it, I don't believe it, I did it, I still don't believe it Good lord, I'm sooooo happy FIRST ONE THERE! YEEEEAH! Can you tell I'm happy?

Before you open it it is not magnetic So I can't say for certain I can get to the Sunchambe from here, I'm gonna try to double bomb jump to that magnetic cube thing and avoid the oculuses though but you can get past the grate.

| i think i'm putting 5 and 6 too close together. but at least i can touch the top symbols about half the time. well anyway... besides the hydro access thing i bet you're right about the %, i don't know how it'd go any lower especially since some things depend on others now, like spider ball needed for skipping charge beam and super missile, very likely that boost ball will be used to get past hydro access if it's even possible, etc. also, skipping grapple beam depends pretty much entirely on space jump, not that anyone wants to play without space jump in the first place. =] 12 artifacts will be needed no matter what unless some huge glitch is discovered, so will the 3 beams you get, and probably all the morph ball abilities. that's 20% right there. add space jump, varia suit, x-ray visor unless the scan visor thing works, and 1 other thing... |

| Varia can't be skipped. To get the suntower artifact you need to first beat Flaahgra and get the suit. Varia is needed 12 artifacts are needed missle launcher is needed 3 beams are needed power bomb holder is needed phazon suit and beam are needed morph ball is needed bombs are needed x-ray is needed I'm afraid none of those are in question any longer. Retro was cheap and put in some "cannot get around" programming that requires all of those :( That's 21 percent that unquestionably cannot be skipped (phazon suit and beam don't count for percent) The only things in any bit of question now are: Gravity suit Boost Ball Space Jump Spider Ball To do my method of skipping the Super Missile and Charge Beam, Spider Ball is most definitely required, so as far as I'm concerned that's not in question either If it turns out we MUST have boost ball to get through Hydro Access Tunnel, that also is definitely needed It also seems kip is unable to make the jumps in the Frigate without the gravity suit without the help of Space Jump, and skipping grapple beam requires that as well Most likely to next be skipped is Gravity Suit says I. Kip is so dang close, he got one room away from the mines without it The Space Jump I doubt, but who knows Spider and Boost ball I don't think can be skipped at all. --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!"

| Also so far the bomb jump over the rune gate is the only way to get the Artifact without using charge and super missles.

Basically you either A have to drop all the way down or B actually go into the transport room first to refresh the thing. And there is no way to space jump back up.

| kip, I tried out the method you suggested for getting through the frigate, and it works like a charm. My hat's off to you for finding exactly that spot to jump from to make it on top of the elevator; I spent so much time trying to find something like that myself and got nowhere near close enough, so I had given it up. Great find. =) I got to Hydro Access tunnel, and the good news is that somehow, I've been able to do big consecutive boosts downward, all the way to just short (like half a morph ball's diatance) from touching the bottom. What's more, I managed this from up at the energy tank. Problem is, I can't figure out exactly how I'm doing it. =P The key seems to be getting Samus to do one of those big downward boosts first, and then timing subsequent boosts so that they fire when she's still got good downward momentum. I've managed to get them started a couple times from the same spot up top, but I haven't got as far down toward the bottom as before yet because I keep missing the timing for the boosts when I do get the first one right (prolly 'cause I'm not ready for it). Nevertheless I find it very hard to believe that it's not possible to pass through the frigate without grav now; it's just going to take some further experimenting and messing around until someone gets it, then puzzling over exactly how it's working. Anyway, thanks for the tip and don't get discouraged. I'm positive this trick's going to work. Youkai, I haven't tried your trick yet, but I'll let you know how it works out for me when I make it that far. Chris, I'd like to help but unfortunately that trick you're talking about is kip's baby, and I haven't tried it out yet so I'm useless.

| From: Amasawa | Posted: 2/9/2003 6:29:51 PM |
| kip, one detail I forgot to mention is that when I made all those consecutive boosts toward the bottom, I'm pretty sure I was holding down the entire time after I got the first boost going. I've been trying pushing the control stick in different directions to get the first one started, but once you get going I think the only thing to really be careful of is the boost timing so you keep your momentum. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| chris: it's ok, that section is kind of poorly explained. it's like one of my posts that went directly to the site without being cleaned up first. anyway, go to the middle of the room where all the crates are and the 2 twisty tracks. turn and look at the huge glass window, then look on either side of the wall. on both sides there's a large... i don't know wtf to call it, but it has bars and there are multiple places to stand on. this is what you use to skip the tracks. use the one that is closest to the door that goes to the elevator (it's on the left side of the room when you enter from the ice door on the middle platform). so what you want to do is go to the edge of the middle platform, then space jump on top of the bar at the bottom. from here, face the glass window and jump off of the bar (make sure she doesn't hit her head). while still in the air space jump and move forward into the structure (past the bottom bar you used before). she'll stop in midair when she touches it if you found the right spot. does that make sense so far? |

I have no idea how though :P Basically from up where the E-tank was, I kept boosting around and one time I boosted like way down (holding down on the control stick) and I stayed there, had time to charge up fully and boost again, I still went down, even after a complete stop, and then it happened again, so I got to the bottom and out Now if we could only figure out WHY that happened Not to mention how to do it without touching that e-tank --- Santa Claus: "Your fondness of cheese won't help you now, evil wizard!"

| Can you guys list the items you get for a 24% game? I can see skipping the charge beam but don't you need super missiles to get a couple of the artifacts? The artifact in the stone pillar in Magmoor for example. |
| From: kip | Posted: 2/9/2003 9:20:17 PM |
| that artifact you mentioned can be gotten with regular missiles, same with control tower. missile launcher morph ball morph ball bombs varia suit boost ball space jump wave beam ice beam plasma beam spider ball power bomb x-ray visor phazon suit & phazon beam (doesn't add % though) add the 12 artifacts and you have 24%. |

That jump from the thin metal plating to the first spiderball track square . . . where exactly are you supposed to stand? It sucks because if you miss, you have to restart because you can't jump from the the rock spire to the first spinner platform (because it is smaller, or at least, that's my experience). --- vincit omnia veritas |

| Cool. Everybody that found a way to beat the game on 24% (even if you haven't actually beat OP yet) is way cool. But, now we know that 24% is the absolute low. Unless someone can do another combo that somehow can survive use different items and cut it down to 23%... But that is very unlikely. So I am focusing all my efforts on a Varia-less Magmoor Caverns run. It won't do anything to lower the % though, unless someone finds some shortcut and gets through w/o any energy tanks. Well, first I have to find the space jump before Fllhgra (man Retro made it hard to pronounce) and then see if I can get any more energy tanks (my current count is only three. So is anyone going to help me?! --- I am the Master, version XP. <|0|> <|0|> |
| From: Amasawa | Posted: 2/10/2003 9:24:46 AM |
| supersaiyan-- it is a bit tricky, especially until you start getting the hang of using walls to increase Samus' jump height. some guidelines that may help: 1) stand below and just to the right of the block, facing the wall, then look down slightly and lock position with the L trigger. 2) once in position, jump while pushing forward against the wall for about half of the first jump, then pull back away from the wall and to the left so that you're in midair just in front of the block 3) make your midair jump pushing forward again toward the block. use the post sticking out of the middle of the block to help you. don't try to land on it, just push against part of it to help Samus gain more height from the second jump these are just some general pointers; they're not exact, but they're kinda what I'm doing when attempting this jump. your mileage may vary altering some of the details to get more height, prevent Samus from falling to the bottom of geo core if you miss the jump, etc. btw, once you've landed on top of the first block, move away from the wall slightly before jumping to the second. part of the wall sticks out above Samus' head there, and if you're not careful it'll knock you off when trying to jump onto the top of the second block. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |

| snoopdigger-- good luck with it. afaik no one's been able to find a way to get more than 3 energy tanks before passing through Magmoor to phendrana at least once, since all of them before that are sealed off by beam doors if I recall correctly. so unless you find a way to a tank that's been overlooked, you're gonna be working on ways to get through magmoor to phendrana with just 3 tanks. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |
| From: SolrFlare | Posted: 2/10/2003 10:07:13 AM |
| Snoop...3 is the max we've been able to get. The 4th Energy tank is located in Magmoor right tbefore the elevator up to Phendrana. Its the double bomb jump puzzle. Thing is, if you make it that far oyu are better off skipping the tank, going to the Phendrana save station, then coming back with full health. Now if only we could get that far to make that choice. There are two ways to make this run...The Elevator past the root cave from Tallon Overworld. Or the elevator from Chozo ruins. The Root cave elevator is much closer to the Monitor station but its so hot in Firey Shores that I don't think you can do a run from that direction. I think the best option would be to make a run from teh Chozo ruins and about half way, find some point where you could rapidly refresh rooms and refill your health up all the way. If a spot can be found to refresh rooms and kill stuff fast enough to refill health then the run is definately doable. Anyway, those are my best guesses so far based on the attempts I've made. Good luck. --- Solr_Flare |

Anyway, from Tallon Overworld, you can reach the room before the moniter station in 40 seconds and need almost 40 second to get past the moniter station to the elevator(includes transport tunnel)If you can avoid puffers and turrets.... I did not try from chozo ruins because there are more rooms. and if you try to get the tank in the transport will only cost about 8 extra seconds.(80 health) |

I don't recall seeing DEVILBIT or anybody else mention a step-by-step way to do it, so I gave it a shot in this topic: http://s1.cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?board=32495&topic=6448510 zell, don't know if this is something you're interested in adding to your site or not, but as usual feel free to add it if you think it's appropriate.

| alternate method of getting wavebuster early (posting this cuz someone's asking and I don't know the finer detail's of the method that banks and some other people use where you jump onto the spider track): boost up the half pipe to the top on the side where the tunnel to the spider ball track is. Looking over at the platform where the wave beam door is, you'll see two half-circle orange designs on the walls to the left and right sides of it. There's a tiny ledge underneath each that Samus can stand on, so space jump to the one on the right, pushing as far as you can into the corner that's made up of the wall and the right side of the platform where the wave beam door. Take care to avoid the spider track or other obstructions on the ceiling as best you can when making the jump. once you're there, you can hop up to the platform w/ the wave beam door and continue on to getting the wavebuster as usual. --- Metroid Prime Discoveries http://membres.lycos.fr/zell99/metroid |
