yes it is I know but it's real easy and I wanted to let everyone know cause some people might know

In Torvus Plaza, going for the energy tank the "correct" way, I somehow got the camera in a rather useless position behind the moving spider ball tracks. I couldn't see where I was going, all it would show is the back of the structures they are attached to.

Also, going for the sky temple key in the Ing Hive Entrance (I think that's the name of the room), I decided to screw attack the ing cache after I had rendered it visible, but I just bounced off of it. When I looked to see what had happened, it had disappeared, and the only thing left was a lock-on point. Thankfully, the key the still appeared after I shot at the lock-on point a few times.

Sorry if these were mentioned before, my unstable internet connection is bringing out the laziness in me.

The Torvus camera glitch is already known.

I was in watch station going to the bomb slot when i remembered the faster ways of doing it. I was already on the spider track so I bomb jumped off and tried to unmorph on top of it. I fell off without unmorphing but when I finally did unmorph the room was on an angle. A terminal fall fixed it.

Turns out M-Dhe (the dead luminoth at the landing site) isn't there when you first arrive. If you ghetto jump up to the top platform, you'll find his corpse strangely absent until you reload the room.

I found a wierd uh...thing in the game in the main gyro chamber and requiers distance and screw attack. In one of the holes to get to the outer area, screw attack into that hole. Then if you timed it right, you get in the hole. If you do it again, you'll turn into morphball.

Hey guys, I wasn't sure whether to post this in the speed tricks or glitch topic, but anyway...

Was having a casual fight with DS2 on hard mode(keeps a save file before the fight :D )and she proceeded to charge up the boost ball after I had knock about one third of her energy off. I decided for fun this part of the fight to use the light beam, and as soon as I had fired the charged light beam at DS's boostball mode, I knocked all but a sliver of energy off of Dark Samus. If you want to know just how much of a sliver, 2 more charged light shots at DS in her normal form finished her off, and we all know just how innefective the light beam is usually against DS.....

Is this anything new, or am I slow to the punch? :(

I have no clue what i could have been...

But here's something i found lets say... 6 months ago. First off, it happened in Torvus bog. Second off, its in the area where you find blogglings, then the ing come and turn them into dark bloggs. Here's what weird: they would not open their mouths, i repeat: they did not open their mouths. Ok, maybe one of them did(because i finally did kill one), but the other one just didnt want to open up. I finally decided to leave after knowing i wouldnt last that long.

But even before that, i feel as if every time i go to battle Alpha Blogg, he always opens his mouth right before he hits me(which gives no time to fire anything at him). Heck with it: he sometimes never opens his mouth at all! Then again, i did beat him also, but a lot of dodging and timing also helpe out in this. Is it just me, or does the game hate me?

It's a glitch which occured when I entered the quadraxis battle from a SW-state, without secretizing hive temple. The battle start while graphics aren't uploaded.

When Boosty is a ball and standing still, you can stand on him without taking damage.

If "Magmoor Riding" gets a section, then "Boosty Riding" should too.

Speaking of Torvus Camera glitches...

I was in torvus a few months ago (headed to the room that in the dark world, you would fight Boosty). I came out of the tunnel, and the camera went funny for absolutely no reason whatsoever. It showed a different angle, showing the hole i was about to come out of. But i didnt, as i had the analog stick pointed the other way, so i went backwards.
Another weird camera change, so i went back the other way.

This happened for a while until i got myself to the room i was headed to. I got in, and it was fine. Troopers spawn, i start fighting, jump down to the lower ledge....

Camera change. Showing the lower area from an angled top view. Very hard to get out of. This happened a couple of times.

I eventually got back to the door (long after the pirates left). I went in the tunnel and the camera angle was still weird. I had to do some crafty guessing to get myself to a normal area where the camera wasnt funky.

Once i got out of the morph ball tunnel on the other side, the camera glitch happened AGAIN.

I dealt with it like i had the other side, and left, never to see the glitch again.

No idea what happened.

a few things:

1. emperor ing's health. last year, whilst playing him, i go and fire a shot to finish him off...only to see his health immediately jump back up to either 25 or 50%. been a year...can't remember. it was the first time i'd fought him...so i wondered if this was supposed to happen on purpose. apparently it wasn't?

2. just sequence broke for the first time on MP2. (not as easy as MP1. not many HUGE breaks in MP2 like SJ and plasma were in MP1. plus i'm not a fan of using SWs. i like to keep it SOMEWHAT within the game's intended programming. but anyways...) in sanctuary, i had gotten SA prior to SB/EV/PB. first time took like 30 minutes to do. well, i went to the Main Research (MR) room (from that multiple kinetic orb cannon room) and IIRC, i went down, killed the robots, realized i couldn't do anything without the echo visor, and used one of those black pincer thingies to jump off of and screwed to the opposite side of the room (i think i opened the door, but maybe not. i definitely didn't leave MR.) i then screw attacked back to the door that i originally came from. when i landed on the platform next to the door, the gamecube (GC) immediately went black for around ten seconds, then reset. ok...
well, i then redid the SA sequence break (much faster this time, took two tries.) well, after receiving SA, i immediately saved. i soon got the SB, and eventually made my way back to MR via the same route as mentioned before, and after opening the door and entering, i decided to take out the robots in the room from my platform above. i initially targeted the head of the one almost directly below me, and shot it with one super missile. i started charging another SM when i also noticed the quad was acting a bit strange (it didn't seem to notice being blasted.) within seconds, before i could get another shot off, then GC did exactly what it had done before. it blacked out for ten seconds, then resetted.

3. i think this happened in between the GC blackouts. after the first time, i started saving every so often. so after getting the SB, i started to leave sanctuary to go for the PB. during the DS scene when she destroys the bridge, i skipped the scene by pressing start. for some strange reason, the SB ability ceased to function. i double checked my inventory to make sure i still had it. i figured maybe it's a room loading issue. so i quickly made my way to grab the PB from the bottom of dark torvus. the SB function still wouldn't function, so fearing what a save could possibly do, i just reset it. the next time i didn't skip the DS bridge scene, and everything worked just fine afterwards. yeah...shoulda tried to recreate it, but i was more concerned with making sure the game still worked right.

similar experiences from anyone?

Here a glitch. I as my boring self spent an hour trying to get the screw attack easily when I jumped in the cage, using 3bj, and morphball height I fell through the ground and I warped to the dark energy controller!!! How lucky I am!

Yeah, I know that glitch. I did it in my 1:17 any%... where I also skipped the sky temple keys. Wink

A new glitch found, invisible platform(s)

Ok on the first eva entrance to agon wastes jump of the cliff to the left, time it so that luminoth trasation has gone in a full circle (if you know what I mean) You should jum, fall down and you should appear underneath the cliff edge on a, invible platform??? You can do further if you have space jump, pointless right?

I think I found a glitch.. a pretty pointless one.
In Mining Station Access you drop a bomb on the block and don't drop into the hole... wait for about 3-5 seconds so you drop into the hole as the block is reappearing, the cannon will shoot you up the pathway to where the energy tank was, and you drop back down.. The block will make dust as if it was bombed, but you can bomb it once and it won't explode, after the second bomb it will explode and reset back to normal.

I have a question:
When you're doing a 20% un, is it possible to skip the grapple beam? Because i was watching DJ's Low% run and i didnt see him skip the grapple beam. Why cant you?

Random Zelda Person

2006-02-06 10:20:39 pm

I am pretty sure it is, but it is still as mind-bendingly difficult as always. DJ's run was performed long before the grapple skip in the Abyss was found.

The grapple can be skipped in all types of run. It is very useful in low% and any% runs where it saves 3mins30. It's extremely hard though, I doubt that you'll see another any% run including the grapple skip from me. Embarassed

Are you going to use the robot hop in your NBMB run? Or are you still considering the SW route around GA?
