I'm just posting this because it gave me something to do any maybe someone else enjoys trying to find the absolute lowest you can complete the game even with cheats.
I did this with the action replay cheats:
- [li]All weapons and all visors (gives light beam, dark beam, multi-missile, super missile+combos and all visors but nothing else - doesn't give bombs, boost, or [li]power bombs so that's why you need the skip losing your items)[li]Moon Jump[li]Infinite Health[li]Infinite Beam Ammo[li]Infinite missiles
The route I took was:
- [li]Skip losing items[li]Skip GMF compound cut-scene (for some reason the sky temple door doesn't exist if you skip it)[li]Head twoards U'mos but stop when you get to the portal in 'Sacred path'[li]Take the portal in 'sacred path' head to 'ing reliquary' and get the first sky temple key (1st key)[li]Head back to 'gmf compound' and still do not activate the cutscene[li]Take elevator to Sancutary Fortress[li]Go to Quadraxis, levitate to enegery controller, get energy, return energy and learn blue language (required for spiderball/hive dynamo works sky key)[li]Goto to U'mos (requires getting energy holder from dark splinter miniboss)[li]Upon arriving you will receive purple language and attempting to leave will do another cutscene unlocking light suit (needed for 3 sky keys)[li]Go to Agon Waste[li]When in Agon Waste head to the Portal site, take the portal, open the transdimensional gate, return to light world using same portal[li]In the 'crossroads' take the elevator to Torvus Bog[li]When you get to Torvus bog and exit the elevator you will be underneath 'torvus temple'. You need to head down to the power bombs but you can't because the super missles' invisible wall extends all the way down here for some reason. Head up top to the 'torvus temple' kill all the pirates AND head to the energy controller room but just enter the room and then leave (this unlocks it on the light beam teleport map).[li]Head down and get power bombs[li]Get the sky temple key in the 'dungeon' while you are down there (2nd key)[li]Take the elevator to the 'sanctuary temple' that is from the training chamber[li]Head to the portal just past the 'hall of combat master'[li]In the dark world head to the front of the sanctuary temple and get the sky temple key (3rd key)[li]Leave the dark world using the same portal and head to spider guardian[li]Defeat spider guardian and take the spider ball (you must take it or else you will be stuck either unable to get the sky key or unable to leave the room)[li]Take the portal behind where you get the spider ball and get the sky key in 'hive dynamo works' (4th key)[li]Return to the light world and head to the skytemple energy controller[li]Take the light beam to torvus bog[li]Go to the dark world and get the sky key in the 'poisoned bog' (5th key)[li]Return to the light world and take the elevator underneath the 'torvus temple' back to 'agon wastes'[li]In agon wastes take the portal in 'portal chamber'[li]Go get the two keys in agon wastes ('battleground'(6th) and 'dark oasis'(7th))[li]Return to the light world using the same portal in 'portal chamber'[li]Take the elevator back to the 'temple grounds'[li]Head to the 'temple assembly site' and take the portal to get the 'accursed lake' sky temple key (8th)[li]Return to the light world and go the direction as if you wanted to go to 'tovus bog' elevator and take the portal in the 'hall of eyes'[li]In the dark world head all the way to where your ship would be 'defiled shrine' and get the final sky temple key (9th)[li]Head to the 'sky temple gateway' and go beat the game.
So some interesting notes:
- [li]Attempting to leave spider guardian's room without defeating spider guardian results in black screen crash.[li]It is impossible to skip spider ball and get all of the keys. If you skip collecting the spider ball item you will either a) get stuck returning from the dark world after getting the sky key or b) be unable to get to the sky key (for some reason the barriers for spider guardian respawn even if he is dead).[li]The translator door blocking sanctuary temple doesn't exist until you see the GMF compound cutscene.[li]The translator door underneath the 'torvus temple' doesn't exist until you defeat the space pirates in the 'torvus temple'.
Anyway even with levitate I had a hard time getting the sky keys without light suit so that's why I went that direction.
