Skipping the Spider Ball: Hall of the Elders

Discovered by

Banks, kip

Notes:

You'll have to reach the Bomb Slot at the top of the room without the Spider Ball. This is easy to do, and works the same way in both versions. From the ledge where you came in, turn around so you're facing the rear wall, and look at the nearby Chozo sun reflector. There will be a small post sticking out of it. Space Jump and land on the post from the closest ledge you can find, then Space Jump again to reach the ledge with the Bomb Slot; place a bomb in it to activate the three beam slots above the Chozo Statue in the room. Now use the purple Wave Beam slot to open the path to the Reflecting Pool and let the statue take you there.
