Top Door

Wait for a crab to come to this door and shoot a Super to knock it off, then quickly freeze it at the right height and use it to clip up past the door shell. Knock the crab while it is on the sloped tiles near the top door, not on the door itself, otherwise it will never be in the correct height. Because of the shot firing rate, it can help to crouch and shoot the Super to the side to give it a bit more time to knock the crab off.

Overload PLMs by placing Bombs at the far right, against the bottom of the crumble block, at the right of the low underwater ceiling. With artificial morph, safely bomb the fast crab by waiting just left of where it falls. Lure a crab to the top door or wait for the global crab to come back around, which can take up to 2.5 minutes. Shoot a Super to knock the crab off, then quickly freeze it at the right height and use it to clip up past the door shell. Knock it off while it is on the sloped tiles near the top door, not on the door itself, otherwise it will never be in the correct height.

Lure a Kihunter over to the right near the door. Damage it so that it falls to the ground. There is a 2 frame window at the beginning of its hop where Samus can use it to clip through the door Be careful to avoid touching the invisible, stationary projectiles that it spits out. Without Morph, jump onto the right side of it in order to have a chance to wiggle off quickly in case it is frozen at the wrong height.

Wait for the acid to lower then quickly roll part way forward to trigger the Metarees and return. Then go again without any difficulty. With Power Bombs alone is particularly challenging. Use a Power Bomb to kill the Gamets to prevent them from respawning. Place a bomb at the edge of the runway and hit it with momentum and precise timing to get a boost to skip the first and land on the next safe platform. As quickly as possible place another and let it boost horizontally to the next platform, then another to get to the item.

Dev note: The requirements here are to get the item and return, as the item cannot be used during the return. It appears that there is virtually no risk in overloading PLMs - the left runway isn't close enough, and even placing two on each pillar will not overload PLMs. FIXME: Hitting the bomb with momentum needs a tech.

Despawn the gate in indirect G-mode then cross the room while dodging the Rippers. It is possible to cross the room damageless without any items. Crouch under the first Rippers then jump with a precise timing to go over the next without hitting the highest ones. With two small forward spin jumps, jump over the three Rippers that come from behind. Move to the first platform and jump over them again. Cross the rest of the room while weaving through the Rippers to get to the left side. It is possible to kill a Ripper near the left door and pause abuse to collect its drop on G-mode exit.

To get a crab at the top of the room, use a Super to knock off the central crab and use Ice to climb it to the top of the room.

Samus must shoot the Super while the crab is on a block next to the door, not on the door itself.
