Enter from the right door and spin jump onto the first ledge while barely landing on the ledge in order to prevent getting the Geruta on camera. Walk against the left wall and jump to trigger the Geruta. It should now be moving leftwards. Stand on the next platform against the right wall and shoot the Geruta to get it one shot away from being frozen. After a few swoops, it will come down; either freeze it or tank a hit. Then go up and stand on the corner and freeze it when it is in position. The Geruta will be stuck below and keep swooping, so if Energy permits, Samus will have several attempts. Quickly shinecharge left to right, kill the Geruta and spark out the bottom right door.

On room entry, perform a low spin jump onto the first ledge to avoid getting the Geruta to swoop to the right. Jump against the left wall, then move right and the Geruta should come down quickly. Move back and forth until it comes down further. This can be tricky if needing to avoid contact damage. Quickly freezing the Geruta as it starts to come down can be used to avoid taking a hit. Killing the Dragon on room entry can also be helpful.

Uses a bomb boost at the end of a mid-air SpringBall jump. Also requires a crouch jump and down-grab to complete the maneuver.

Use mid-air Spring Ball jumps to manipulate the Geruta into position near the ledge. Then do a Spring Ball jump into a neutral damage boost (while still morphed) to reach the ledge.

Either freeze the Geruta and turn off and on Ice to quickly thaw it and save Energy, or carefully jump over it without freezing it or getting hit. Then lure it left by jumping towards it from below with a series of mid-air Spring Ball jumps. Freeze it when it performs a larger swoop and use it as a platform to get to the item. Be careful not to jump into the Geruta's path to avoid hitting it.

Ride the Geruta left to reach the missile location by freezing it repeatedly. Stay on its left side when it touches the ceiling for the enemy to continue moving forward. It may not be possible to climb back up to the Geruta if Samus falls. When it moves towards the ceiling, reset Samus' fall speed using an unmorph or by taking knockback damage, in order to wait for the Geruta to fall low enough to refreeze.

Position at the end of the runway (or up to 4 pixels away) at the top-right of the room, gain run speed, perform a last-frame jump and ceiling mockball, then equip or unequip Spring Ball in order to reset Samus' vertical speed and just barely make it onto the ledge with the item.

Enter from the right door and spin jump onto the first ledge while barely landing on the ledge in order to prevent getting the Geruta on camera. Walk against the left wall and jump to trigger the Geruta. It should now be moving leftwards. Stand on the next platform against the right wall and shoot the Geruta to get it one shot away from being frozen. After a few swoops, it will come down; either freeze it or tank a hit. Then go up and stand on the corner and freeze it when it is in position. The Geruta will be stuck below and keep swooping, so if Energy permits, Samus will have several attempts. With full heat protection, Samus can quickly shinecharge left to right then run and spark midair to the left to save Energy.
