Ghetto jump (you must have forwards momentum) onto the first crate in the stack of crates to the left of the huge crate. Then jump to the huge crate, then to the top of the stack. From there, jump to the top of the translator door blocking entrance to Agon.

Yes, this is designed to be used when you first go through here, right after losing all your items and before seeing u-mos for the first time.

Chykka

2004-12-02T02:55:01Z

Maur: removed stub tag

'''Chykka Larva'''

''By Sparky''

1) Break the coccoon, and get [[Floaty Jump]].

2) Scan it at the beginning.

3) Immediately after scanning, missile the dark spinners, and charge the light beam.

4) Track chykka until he goes under water, then prepare to fire the charge when he rises. You should hit with all 5 parts of the beam if you are close enough.

5) Then charge power and super missile when he jumps in the air.

6) Charge power again and search for chykka. He should rise a little at some point, so shoot him with the charge then switch to light and wait for him to go under and then up again.

7) Shoot him with light now only this time, however, he tongues. Afaik, it's fastest to hit him with two charge lights, plus a few normal lights to stun him, and then super him.

8) Repeat that second part for the next two phases. he jumps the third time, and tongues the fourth.

This really doesnt save too much time; but, it is easy anyway, so why not use it. The time it saves comes from the third phase. If done normally, Chykka Larva would jump twice, but you would have a four round battle anyway. This time it only jumps once. However, if it did somehow jump twice (which I have never gotten), it could be a three round battle...

'''Chykka Adult'''

<ul><li>On the Chykka Adult's light form, jump out into the water and fire normal dark shots at point-blank. It only takes 3-4 to stun it. Discovered by Red Scarlet
<li>Once the adult is stunned, seeker missile its back. It takes two missiles to break each target - that's two rounds you have to stun him, instead of the normal 4.
<li>On dark chykka, simply nail it's eggsac with charged light shots. If need be, shoot the Chykklings with the dark beam to get light ammo.
</ul>

Notes:

Maur: added credits and vid

Discovered by ''anonymous'' and ''Maur''

If you defeat a boss of a dark temple, but do not actually have samus collect the energy within the temple energy controller, those "i'm blocking you until you do what we want you to do!" yellow shields do not appear on doors. Meaning, if you keep samus from collecting the energy, you don't have to A: return it, or B: talk to u-mos again. Sanctuary Fortress is the exception - you need to return the energy to make U-Mos give you the light suit.

In Dark Agon Temple, after you get the dark suit, turn around and head back to the entrance of the temple. Nullify the Light Crystal there with a normal dark beam shot, jump on top of the crystal, jump to the door, and go. For some reason the invisible platform above nullified light crystals is higher then that of regular light crystals... you can't make the jump without nullifying it.

[http://www.metroid2002.com/maur/dark_agon_temple_exit.avi vid of the above]

In Dark Torvus Temple, after you defeat Chykka, grab the dark visor. However, the elevator does not show up. You need to refresh the room in the game's memory to do this. Jump on the invisible platforms to the top and go through the door. Get in the bomb slot in the security station and spin it. This will cause the game to garbage collect the temple from memory and load the energy controller room. Spin the security station again (thus putting you back where you started) and enter the temple again. It's been refreshed - the elevator's now there! Hop in it and forget about the energy.

Pity we can't skip the Sanctuary Fortress energy...

Skipping Energy Controllers

2004-11-30T22:24:59Z

Maur:

If you defeat the boss of a dark temple, and go to the room where the dark energy controller is, but do not actually collect the energy, the yellow "you cannot leave this area" things do not pop up on the exits. Meaning, if you don't get the energy, you can skip returning it entirely.

You cannot skip the sanctuary fortress econtroller, as you need to visit that to trigger U-Mos's light suit script. Otherwise, you can't get the Light Suit.

You need to visit the energy controller rooms to make the game reload the temple and allow you to leave. Just don't walk far enough into the room to start the "getting the energy" cutscene.

Red Scarlet's own description:

Alright, woot. As you know, to get the Darkburst, you are supposed to get that helicopter blade started after doing the morph ball timed puzzle, then somehow (I forget the normal way) get to the portal above it, then take the portal, then go through 2 rooms in Dark Aether, then take a portal to Light Aether, and then go back through those 2 rooms to grab the Darkburst.

Well, that isn't necessary. After doing my ghetto jump to get on top of the blade (on the end away from the portal by like jumping left into those rocks, then up), don't go into the portal.

Instead, if facing the portal, the Darkburst is on your left. See that bar on the "tower" thing the blade is connected to? Well, face the Dark Beam and ghetto jump the bigger metal part and the very top thing (goes outward), and try to Screw Attack at the very peak of your jump.

What's strange is when you get the Darkburst this way, the little "ooh new toy" cinema wasn't even shown, nor was "Darkburst Acquired!"

It seems like a real pain to get off, but it's extremely worth it; it saves going to the portal, through Trial Grounds, through the Dark Transit Station, using the portal in Duelling Range to get behind those bars in Mining Plaza, and going through Transit station to pick the Darkburst up, probably saving about 2 minutes.

I did record myself getting it, so it's all good...and I picked up 5 items on the way before I saved, including Darkburst, and went from 71%-76%, so it still counts and stuff.

You still have to do the 2 bomb slots puzzle though, so the blade is raised high enough.
