ICE BEAM BEFORE THARDUS

(Thanks: Banks17, kip, funkytoad, tlj9204, l2ag3)

Required: Triple Bomb Jump (For method 1)

2 videos available for this trick!

Using a tbj to get up the Furnace's spider ball track in Chozo Ruins allows you to get the Ice Beam and Gravity Suit before the point you're supposed to, which is after you have the Spider Ball. l2ag3 also found another way to get up the spider ball track, which is infinitely easier than a tbj! Continue to read to get full description of the new technique.

After getting the Wave Beam, go to the track which is just past West Furnace Access.

Method 1:Morph into ball form next to the track and do a tbj; right before bomb 6 hits you, you'll want to press against the track so that you can get inside to the tunnel. I've noticed that it's easier to see where you're putting the bombs down if you just press against the track the entire time, since the camera moves up.

TIP: If you hold B while doing your bomb jumps, and release it after bomb 6 propels you, the boost will help you get a little more height and catch the ledge.

Method 2: Walk up to the spider ball track and face slightly left, so the right half of the screen is the spider ball track, and the left half is the wall beside it. Now L-Lock your view (optional) and space jump while pressing against the track. You'll get stuck against the track in mid air. From there, do a single jump or a space jump (depends how high you are) and you'll land on the lip of the morph ball hole. Simply go into Morph Ball while holding forward and you'll get in the hole. You may also use a boost to get in the hole faster.

Once you get inside, roll or boost ball past the disappearing blocks and bomb jump to the Furnace itself. Go into the hole by the Chozo Lore on the wall and proceed to Crossway Access West. You won't be able to go past this room unless you have the Wave Beam, since there's a purple door at the end. A few rooms later you'll find yourself in the Hall of the Elders.

After you kill the Chozo Ghost so he won't bother you, you have two options for getting to the Reflecting Pool. The first way is to space jump to the small post sticking out of the reflective disc near the spider ball track at the top of the room. You'll land on it, and from there just space jump to the ledge at the end of the track, then bomb the hole to activate the "beam holes" in the room. Use the Wave Beam path and the statue will throw you up near Reflecting Pool Access.

The other way to get to the Reflecting Pool is by tbj'ing into the unblocked part of the passageway you end up in after taking the Wave Beam path.

Anyway, after you get through Hall of the Elders, get the Ice Beam as it's normally done! You can now get the Gravity Suit before going for Thardus!
