X-RAY VISOR BEFORE SPIDER BALL

(Thanks: kip)

Required: Spider Ball
Power Bomb Expansion

1 video available for this trick!

To do this, you'll need to gather a Power Bomb Expansion in order to have 1 power bomb and break the Benzedelium wall in the Great Tree Hall. To do this, you need the Plasma Beam. Once you have it, head to Phendrana Drifts in the Ice Ruins West or Phendrana's Edge to get a Power Bomb Expansion (before getting the main Power Bombs in Phazon Mines!). This will enable you to use a Power Bomb.

Now you can head back to the Great Tree Hall. When you enter the Great Tree Hall, there are two Bloodflowers. You'll notice the higher one is in a little alcove. Get in there, after you killed them both.

Look at the Spider Ball Track. You'll notice there is a horizontal portion, you'll want to Space Jump on it. To make it easier, L-Lock your view down and keep it there in order to see where you land. You do not have a lot of room for error on this landing, but it's not as hard as it may seem at first.

Once you're on the horizontal part of the track, turn right so you are facing towards the door to the X-Ray Visor. Space Jump without knocking your head on the higher part of the track, and land in front of you, on a little round ledge.

Here, you want to stand on the round ledge, as right as possible. L-Lock your view up. You'll have to jump back and right, in order not to hit your head on the ceiling, then at the peak of your jump, Space Jump forward and left, so you get on the platform with the door. Once up there, you only have to open the door, use a Power Bomb and get the X-Ray Visor as it's usually done!
