Today something on par with Ice Beam Before Flaaghra, maybe even better, comes the Power Bombs right after Dark Suit.  You may not like it since it involves Secret Worlds, but how could we not resist?  PBs right after Amorbis  8)

Anyhoo, here's how it goes:

Get the Dark Suit, and backtrack to Feeding Pit.  You know those two pillars?  Get on the one closest to the purple door and stand on top of it so you can target the crystal on the side.  Fire a charged light shot, and at the same time, strafe right/left so that you get to the other side of the pillar very quickly.  You should bypass an invisible barrier above, that way.  Then, stand right at the edge, and I mean RIGHT at the edge of that pillar, facing towards the phazon, and jump out and to the right, you should get into the SW and land on a sticky section.  Wallcrawl your way around to Feeding Pit Access, and load that, walk into FPA and dump FP.  Then, look back towards FP after it's dumped and go very very quickly, jump into where FP would be and, hopefully you know the layout of this room, navigate your way through the secretized room, through the dark water, collect the Power Bomb Expansion, and work your way through the water and onto a standable ledge and rush rush rush to the nearest safe zone.  You will be doing this in a room with no loaded graphics, so it's best if you really learn your way around the room. 

You will have very few energy tanks and very little time to do this, so it has to be nearly perfect.  So basically, get into Feeding Pit SW, head over to Feeding Pit Access, dump FP, jump back into it so it secretizes around you, and this will give you the time you need to have the water load AROUND you, so you can go into it.  You take lots of damage from it, but if you're quick enough, you can make it out and to a safe zone.  Congrats, PBs right after Amorbis  8) .

I'll be posting a complete method and hopefully we'll be making a video in no time.  It's not a very long procedure, but it is very difficult since you're taking so much damage and the room is secretized.  Oh well, long live Secret World Sequence Breaks  8) .

holy crap dude
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Holy crap indeed, nice work Flamy.
Nice job.

Now, let's skip something outright.
Wow! Too bad I lent out my copy of Echoes... This opens up quite a bit! Kudos! Maybe I should say something that doesn't end in an exclamation point.

Woo. Nice find!

Now, we only need the Echoes equivalent of Space Jump First, and we can break this game to smithereens.
always move fast
im pretty sure this means skipping gravity boost. You can get to sanc via a back door, and go get screw, spider, whtever else you may want...then go get the torvus keys. hopefully you can get that key via screw attack. 

actually, i think this skips seekers too. unless im mistaken, the only places they were needed was the too doors in sanc, which are now avoidable.
The jury's currently out on how many e-tanks you need to do it, btw.
Can anyone poste a vid of it?
I'm working on it.
I have to do it again to make sure it wasn't sheer luck or something in doing it, so you'll have to wait until I get done with my final exam today.  Then I'll nag DJ to get a video of it as long as he's willing to share with the amount of people who likely want to see it.  Yes, jury is out on how quickly it can be done and how much energy will be lost.  When I did it, it was in a secretized room, meaning no graphics loaded, just boundaries.  PizzaBoy did it with the entire room loaded, I believe, but I'm not sure how he could have gone so fast if he took the time to load the graphics of Feeding Pit.  Because you have to be faaaast.  If you don't know where you're going, you're fried by the water.

And skipping seekers and/or gravity boost would be quite interesting, indeed.  I've always wanted to be at least partially responsible for skipping an item.  Make sure you give PizzaBoy credit too  Wink .

Seekers are required to get at least one Sky Temple Key. :o Doesn't look so good...

Gravity Boost could only be skipped if you found a way to get that....never mind.  You already have power bombs, so you might as well just waltz right into the dark version of the room and nab the key!  I'd say it's as good as skipped. 8)
So now some nutter has to do it with no e-tanks.
What happens if you pick up a power bomb expansion without having the power bombs?  Does it give them to you?
PAGE BREAKER
Ready and willing.
Yep. But you only get 1.
You are given a single power bomb when you pick up an expansion before the main power bombs :)  So yes, they work.

There is, however, a catch.  You still have to go back and beat the PB guardian and get the main power bombs..  If you don't, the Flying Ing Cache in Dark Oasis doesn't appear, thus leaving you short a sky temple key.

So, even if done with no e-tanks, and still skipping grav boost, that puts us right back at 22%.  I really hate 22% lol.  Still, this is a nice find :)
So the only thing preventing us from skipping seekers now is the accursed lake sky temple key.
there's also a purple door going to Reliquary Grounds or whatever the room before Ing Reliquary is called.
How do you plan on getting trough Shrine Access? There's a seekers lock there before Gateway Access, the room before Sky Temple Gateway.
Bah, didn't remember those. :/

Well... what's now with the Video? I'm not able to do this, I shoot the crystal on the pillar next to the phazon and not next to the door, and then I jump a bit right so I stand there and then? everything I an make is jump but just very low. Then I fall into the water.

Do I have to jump into the "sky", into this hole on the ceiling?
Why are things always found the weeks I can't play the game?
Just an update: it's looking less likely that this can be done without any tanks (I've spent about four days solid on it). We're also still bickering over the best way to wallcrawl to the expansion, but Pizzaboy (who had the original idea) has done it too, now, so it is reproducible.

There should be a video once we've sorted out what the easiest way to do it is.

Is there any first video in hope?
When trying to get into the SW and failing over and over again, it finally came to that I failed to strafe past the invisible barrier. But instead of just jumping down like normal, I chose to do a Charged Dark shot on the crystal. The crystal wasn't hit directly due to the angle, but the dark balls attacked the crystal and made it dark.
Now, normally, when the crystal is dark, the platform goes into lowered position, but this didn't happen, so I jumped down and shot the crystal with Light Beam. Now the platform is lowered, but the crystals energy is reveresed. This is just... Weird.

EDIT: The same thing can be done to reverse it back into the right mode, I think it has something to do with being inside an invisible part of the platform when shooting it.

EDIT 2: It's because the platform hadn't reached the top position yet, never mind the first edit.

EDIT 3: Doing this will give you a safe zone when you are aligning yourself for the jump, giving you a little bit more health to work with.
