CRASHED FRIGATE WITHOUT GRAVITY SUIT

(Thanks: kip)

Required: Space Jump
Boost Ball

Is it possible to get through the Crashed Frigate without the Gravity Suit? Yes it is, even if the games tells you it's not. There are only 2 rooms causing some major trouble, here's how to get around it.

Cargo freight lift to deck gamma: Go to the first conduit in this room, then notice the wall to the right of it. You want to L-Lock your view on the conduit and move against the wall. Then do a jump and move to the right SLIGHTLY, but stop after that and start moving left. If done correctly, Samus jumps as if the water isn't hindering her movement. Don't hit her head on anything, and as you're moving left, space jump and move toward the top of the structure at the peak of the jump. With a little practice it's easy to land on the top.

From here, space jump to the platform with the first reaper vine using the same premise; pushing against the wall to start the jump for extra height and then moving away. It helps a little if you have the plasma beam since you can kill the reaper vines. Jump up and shoot the second conduit from the platform with the reaper vine, then go into ball mode.

Push against the sloped ground and you'll notice Samus stays at where she's at. Just bomb or boost ball your way to the last platform in the water. Once you get there, turn around, away from the sloped ground. do that same jump against the sloped ground, then do your second jump at the peak and move toward the top. You'll barely land on it. Shoot the last conduit and proceed.

It shouldn't be a problem getting to Hydro Access Tunnel from here.

Hydro Access Tunnel: When you get to the vertical path leading to the Energy Tank up there, you'll get pushed up by water. It is possible to go against the current with the boost ball, but it not confirmed yet the easiest way to do it, and it is not confirmed yet that it is possible to get through it without grabbing the Energy Tank.

If you got through this, it means you can complete the game without the Gravity Suit and without grabbing a Power Bomb Expansion! Wow...
