skipping the hazard shield

The hazard shield can be skipped, allowing for 22% completion if done with the energy cell skip in Aurora Chamber. Methods to get through all five rooms with acid rain are detailed on the pages below.

Acid rain damage varies by mode, and does less damage on the harder modes. The videos here are on normal.

It's interesting to note that when you defeat Omega Ridley, the hazard shield is given to you anyway, but doesn't add %. The reason for this is unknown.
