There is no map for the G.F.S. Valhalla unfortunately ^_^

However, the most likely place you are missing is either on the Valhalla, or in Bryyo Ice (You warped there from Bryyo Fire to get the Screw Attack ^_^)

Yeah, I just read the poster above me....lol sometimes I'm just in a rush to make a post. Thanks to the both of you! The missing upgrade WAS on Ice Bryyo, and thankfully it shows up on the map grin new

I'm wondering how many e cells you need to get through Valhalla, getting all the items?

Need 3 to complete the game. Need 5 to get all items. (Skip 2 for Weapon Cache missile expansion, skip 2 in Aurora Chamber)

First off, It's good to be back and see all my fellow speed runners!

Ok...I'm doing my first Hyper run to see what problems I'll be encountering for a speed run. I'm at the final boss(es). I wouldn't say I'm stuck, but I'm dreading playing the 3way Dark Samus/ Aurora/ Aurora's Head combo any more than I have to 'cause I think I'll have carpal tunnel before long.....no joke, lol. So my questions are....

1) Any shortcuts on any of them? I think I saw on IGN that you can screw attack the head to stun it.

2) Since your energy changes on Phaaze, does it correspond to how many energy tanks you had before arriving, does the meter rise any faster, etc??

3) I don't know what items can be acquired early for sequence breaking. What are they so far? ....and pls forgive me for not thoroughly looking through topics 'cause I'm on molasses dial-up, ugh!

Thanks in advance!

1) mashing the button is more efficient than charged shots for DS, and you can use xray to see which one is real when there's clones out. Also you can beat aurora in 1 less round on normal by using a missile, 4 uncharged shots then another missile. But I'm not sure that works on hyper.. I don't think anyone should do a hyper any% because the random stuff is that much worse.

2) the meter gets smaller with less tanks. It may also rise faster on harder modes but I don't think that's been tested.

3) you can get ice missile before grapple swing (aka late grapple swing.. actually you can get to elysia before you have to get it).

Other early stuff is nova before hazard (aka hazard skip), seeker before ship grapple. As well as the aurora chamber energy cell skip, that combined with skipping hazard gets 22%. The MP3 section of the site just opened so have a look.

Im having problems with skipping Rundas, when you shoots the ice cubes at me I am standing at the door and I'm pretty sure that the blocks are hitting the ice covering the door.

I'm probaly just doing it wrong :|

Every Bit Counts

I think he needs to be swinging his bat.

the ice bat's the only weapon that can destroy the entrance ice; you'll need to take out about 3/4 of his health and wait for him to jump on top of an ice pillar. Use Hypermode to avoid taking damage from it.

weird the door that leads back has a blast shield on it...

yeah, i noticed that a bit after the skip was found... let Rundas kill you then continue to get the lock to go away.

With that logic, have you tried dying on korakk, then go over the gate? I think the doors lock when the aerotroopers come, not korakk.

when you die on Korakk you respawn in Ancient Courtyard right after bombing the gate, not at the Korakk fight.

Well, it really makes me feel like a noob, but can someone help me out with Mogenar in Hypermode? That would be great, cause these red orbs he is grabbing, after destroying one of them, are driving me crazy. I am not quick enough to destroy them both, before he uses them to kind of regenerate his destroyed orbs. Any advices are welcome!

This was probably the fight I had the most problems with in Veterane, so I was kind of scared, when I started this file...and now I see, I was right.

He starts grabbing those red orbs after you destroy more than one of his orbs without destroying the socket...

That is, you're trying to destroy all of his red orbs without destroying the sockets so he uses that move, instead, destroy only one orb, then go into hyper and shoot the socket you destroyed the orb on, wich will destroy it, if it's destroyed he cannot regenerate an orb on that socket anymore, so destroy another red orb, shoot the blue light coming out of it with hyper, rinse and repeat until he is dead.

Thank you very much for that fast answer
Yeah, that seems to be far more easier- off to try!

No problemo, I know how frustrating is to be stuck on a game and need to wait hours until somene takes the time to respond.

Eh... it´s kind of a stupid thing but i can´t skip the Berserker Lord fight on Elysia! When i terminal fall to the Lord´s room, the Spinners aren´t active! But in Craztad´s awesome test run, they indeed are active! Am i doing something wrong? Because, if the Spinners aren´t active, the only thing i can do is triggering the fight...

Oh crap, this is exactly what i feared! :( Thanks anyway. PAL always sucked, but this is ridiculous. Now i have to fight him on hyper 22%, which takes at least 5 minutes...

Another nooby, desperate and pathetic question:
Can someone help me with the last boss in Hypermode?

Dark Samus and the beginning of the Aurora Unit are no real problems and after the fight, the bar on the top is half filled with Phazon (when I am lucky). But the last Boss seems to be impossible for me, although I have collected 11 ETs (more than enough). The thing annoying me most is that stupid laser-attack. I have died three times now and it is so frustrating to do the first two fights again- especially the AU takes some time...

It would be a great help for me to read some strats how to dodge the attacks or to watch a video of that fight etc.

Yeah, kind of embarassing...I know
