Difference between revisions of "Early Power Bomb Expansion"

Revision as of 14:47, 14 December 2004

Discovered by: Zell(concept), Sparky(triggers needed/path), Kip(accomplishing with early screw)

Requirements: Early Screw Attack and Spiderball.

1) Get both the Spiderball and Early Screw Attack.

2) Now go to Sanctuary entrance(where Dark Samus destroys the bridge).

3) Jump on the crate to your right when facing away from sanctuary.

4) Now jump on the pole to your left when facing away from sanctuary.

5) Screw attack to the platform below the turret.

6) Jump up into the Spiderball glass ring below the turret.

7) Screw attack back towards sanctuary and into the glass room with the scan pole(this is the room you would normally access by breaking the glass with a powerbomb).

8) Scan the pole, jump onto it, then jump out of the glass room.

9) Use the morph ball cannon to shoot back up and reach the turret to the right of the bridge.

10) Now proceed as you normally would: destroy the rock wall above sanctuary and above the door on the other side, and the debris to the right of sanctuary's entrance. Then Drop down, spider up to the top of Sanctuary, and screw attack or morph ball cannon across to get the expansion.

Important notes:

- Getting the PB expansion only gives you 1 power bomb

- You still must defeat the PB guardian and obtain the main PB expansion later on for the sky temple key in Dark Agon: Dark Oasis to appear. This trick is still handy for getting PB's early and avoid backtracking until sky temple key collection.

Another way to get early PB without Spider Ball discovered by Frozen Mr. Toastbrot

Requirements: Early Screw Attack

1) Activate the turret as described above (Step 1-8).

2) Get to the Spiderball glass ring again.

3) Look at the door leading to Temple Transport Access. There is a tall rock left of it, with a plain surface and some mechanical stuff left of it. Screw Attack onto that rock and face the floating platform again.

4) Use the mechanical stuff next to the rock to get a ghetto effect for the space jump before starting a Screw Attack to the upper part of the floating platform. If you're lucky, you'll make it onto the floating platform.

5) Once on the upper part of the platform use the turret to destroy the stone in front of the PB Expansion.

6) Look the platform with the red egdes above the door to Power Junction. Jump onto the fence and do a Screw Attack over to the platform. You'll need to get a maximum of height for the Screw Attack, otherwise you'll bounce of and fall. If you did it correctly, you'll hit the edge of the platform and slip onto it.

7) Screw Attack over to the PB Expansion as usual.
