Baby Sheegoth: Your any% route doesn't work because you can't get to thardus that way without grabing thermal and super missiles. Enless you're talking about going in the back way which will take very long. Also, combining Warrior segment and lower mines might not be such a great idea. Lastly, why would you wallcrawl to reflecting pool? You would have spider ball by then so you could get to ice beam the normal way. You also, for some reason, took out activating the bomb slots in hote.

Gu3st: Thanks for the tips, i'll be trying it out soon. It sucks you won't be able to play for a while.

Also, I escaped from Life Grove without fighting the ghosts. Instead of an R-jump out, you have to freez dash. Use the enemy there as your lock-on.

T3, can you show me a video of "freez" dash? I've heard about it, but I dunno what it is.

Here's a description:

"For the scan dash, you need to jump right as you're about to fall off so you keep some of the speed from when you strafe off a ledge while locked onto something. It requires very precise timing, so it's not easy to do at all."

To get the freez dash to work off the back of the ship is really rare. It probably happened to you when you made it to the ledge and it will take a very, very long time to replicate.

I was using combat dash when I got it, does it also work with combat visor? Also, IIRC (I have REALLY SHORT TERM MEMORY, So I might be wrong.), you scan doesn't dash any more in MP1 MPT

For Metroid Prime Wii, it works in all visors except for the scan visor. In Metroid Prime 2 Wii, it happens to work in the scan visor.

Yeah I've noticed that in mp2, but Is it just me or all the dash (In MPT) doesn't give you height bonus any more?

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-08 06:04:02 pm

Gu3st, there's a slight height bonus but it curves downwards past the bonus/your starting point at the end of the dash.

I must've freez dashed, but still, moving the arm cannon has improved the distance dramatically (from the comparison of the two video in the previous page).

Either way, this isn't easy -.-

Life Grove quick escape is very dead. It was ridiculously hard on GC and even with a dash still impossible on Wii. Also, I was going to add HOTE bombslots into a later segment but homework made me forget :P

T3

2009-09-08 06:23:34 pm

No it isn't. I made it out with a freez dash using the enemy as my lock-on. It's actually not hard at all.

Also, homework on the first day? That sucks.

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-08 06:24:45 pm

Meh, it was just a simple sheet about + and - integers, ironically what I'm best at in math.

You should update the first post with some of the recent finds.

Is entering Phazon Mines right after Ice Beam dead now?

Nope, phazon edge pb..

Well, you can no longer hop over GTH bars.

Also, i've got some small discoveries. You can boost through the wall in Elite Research if you go in backwards. If you reload the room after Warrior appears, it won't dissapear. You can also climb Elite Research the fast way.

Boost through the wall is old, but I did notice the Ice Door didn't lock like it usually does and thought they didn't fix the gamebreaker glitch but apparently they did. Cool

Also, only objective stopping us from 22% is Geothermal Core.

How are we going to bypass Vent Shaft and get through Hydro Access Tunnel?

Read the vent shaft thing in my main post, and HAT: Life Grove SW > Tunnel to Phazon Mines.

Vent Shaft solution won't work. You need plasma beam to get to MQB and it's impossible to get plasma beam before main pb. Hopefully, we can wallcrawl past vent shaft from Omega Research. We also can't get into Life Grove without powerbombs so Hydro Access Tunnel cannot bypassed. We can't get into the mines without using a powerbomb enless somehow Great Tree Chamber's secret world is possible.

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-08 08:42:08 pm

Oh wow yea, you can use Omega Research's secret world to wallcrawl past vent shaft and let Elite Quarters load around you.

T3

2009-09-08 08:46:37 pm

I hope you mean Elite Control. Anyway, two rooms left: Geothermal Core and Hydro Access Tunnel.

Also, you don't need to secret world Life Grove. As I mentionned, you can still minipulate the spinner.

Baby Sheegoth

2009-09-08 08:48:27 pm

No, I mean Omega Research. The room RIGHT after vent shaft.
