Overload PLMs using the scroll blocks next to the bomb wall After passing through, you need to go from the bottom to the top of Climb and into the bomb blocks while still in G-mode Morph. Samus will not be visible at all; the only available feedback is audio and position on the map.

There are scroll PLMs one tile to the left of the Terminator bomb blocks which can be used to overload PLMs. The bomb blocks then become air and can be passed through. Go down to the Save door by falling and moving back and forth in the right places. Once you start going down you will be off-screen.

There are scroll PLMs next to the bomb blocks and on the ledge below the Alcatraz exit, which will overload PLMs when going through them. Samus will need to briefly navigate off-screen while to the right of Alcatraz before coming back left.

Dev note: There would typically be risk of the logic being incorrect if the player exits g-mode, progresses to the right to get the next item, then comes back and this obstacle is still set so they can go through the pipe. Fortunately getting the item to the right also requires Morph.

Fall into the pit while being careful to only touch one of the crumble blocks. Bounce up through the camera scroll blocks to overload PLMs with Spring Ball, Bombs, or 6 Power Bombs. Move horizontally to fall through the crumble blocks that haven't been touched. Carefully fall to not touch the spikes on the right, then roll through the spikeway. After the camera stops scrolling, move another 2-3 tiles then exit G-Mode. Make small jumps to reset the camera then quickly kill the Beetom as it jumps at Samus.

Raise a Zeb to be just below the crumble blocks and blindly freeze it to set up an ice clip to reach the Power Bomb room exit door. Get a bug from the pipe to spawn facing left and freeze it while moving to the ledge below the Hopper room door. While crouched, a spazer or wave beam shot will shoot through the floor in front of Samus. Shoot then immediately jump so that the bug can be frozen at a pixel perfect height, which is higher than where it would typically be frozen (when not needing to preserve a flash suit). Once frozen, wait for the bug to thaw, then blindly follow it to the left without letting it go off camera, which would cause it to despawn. Refreeze it below the crumble blocks, perform a very precise ledge grab onto it, then jump through the crumble block to reach the door, all while carefully avoiding losing the flash suit.

Samus will be visible but off-camera; swinging back and forth to fix the camera is possible, at the cost of additional heat damage.

After teleporting, hold left and release Grapple to remain in a standing pose (and not be force crouched). X-ray climb a specific distance, performing exactly 15 X-Ray stand-ups. Then morph and roll out to the right. If Bombs, Power Bombs, or Screw Attack are available, this can allow more lenience in how far to climb.

Dev note: Technically Samus isn't moving off-camera but is close to the edge; 'canOffScreenMovement' is for the difficulty of timing the unmorph, given limited visibility of the end of the passage and the Sova. If a Power Bomb is available, then lag from the explosion can make the movement much easier.

Kill the Sovas or wait at around 25 seconds for them to get out of the way before going down and passing them while climbing to the top door.

Grapple teleporting here will spawn Samus inside the wall behind the Acid Chozo statue. To escape, perform a Crystal Flash to stand up, then morph and roll out to the right.

Traversing the room without getting hit requires fairly tricky off-screen movement. Note that Samus moves freely through the off-screen Funes, but will take damage from the Boulders.

Use Spring Ball or a horizontal bomb boost to get over the next Boulder. Quickly roll off the left edge and back to the right in order to avoid the third Boulder.

It is tricky to climb the room without fully overloading PLMs. With Ice and either HiJump or Spring Ball, freeze the left Alcoon to the right of where it jumps out of the ground. With HiJump, spin jump off of it and land directly on the middle stair platform. With Spring Ball, morph on top of the Alcoon, jump to barely land on the lowest platform while avoiding the camera scroll blocks one tile above, then use Spring Ball again to jump to the next platform. Alternatively, with Spring Ball and either HiJump, Bombs, or Power Bombs, jump to barely land on the lowest platform while avoiding the camera scroll blocks one tile above, then use Spring Ball again to jump to the next platform. The first jump can be done with HiJump or a bomb boost into Spring Ball jump. Once up above, unmorph and get onto the edge of the runway leading right, then run through the camera scroll blocks to reach the item. This will finish overloading PLMs. Blindly traverse the maze until the end, where Samus will be stuck at the far right next to the shot block. Exit G-mode just one tile to the left, Morph, use a Bomb or Power Bomb to destroy the shot block and escape through the door.

Exit G-mode while on the item pedestal, while off-camera, then return to the right through the Dessgeegas that can't damage Samus off-screen. It is possible to use a Power Bomb and quickly exiting G-mode to have the bomb block broken on exit, but this will also partially break the Power Bomb blocks and could make exit traversal less straightforward.

Climb up about half a screen. If Phantoon is dead, the last part of the climb should be done carefully to avoid triggering collision with the spikes: Do not press forward or turn-around except while X-Ray is active. For each X-ray stand-up, release the turn-around input quickly to make sure that it is not still held after X-Ray deactivates. Once Samus is high enough, unequip X-Ray, jump up (from either standing or crouch) to clip past the spikes, and land, taking a single spike hit. Then use the i-frames from the spike hit to run and jump to the left to make it to the door. Samus is high enough after the top of her arm cannon first becomes visible at the bottom of the screen; or up to 3 additional climbs can be performed after that point. In case of an accidental spike collision, it is possible to recover: Unless Samus climbed higher than needed, she will still be stuck in the wall, will take a single spike hit, and be able to continue climbing. With Grapple it is possible to swing on the Grapple blocks, avoiding all spike damage. Spike damage can also be avoided with Space Jump, by doing a stationary turn-around spin jump, which is very precise.

Dev note: FIXME: The canBeVeryPatient is for difficulty placement, as the damageless Space Jump version would likely require many attempts. The resourceCapacity requirement is to ensure that reserve energy management will not be needed for the lower-difficulty version of the strat; this could be refined since suits can affect spike damage, but we don't yet have a good way to represent that cleanly, given that randomizers are likely to modify suit damage protection.

Freeze a crab at a very precise position in order to clip through the center Morph tunnel without a way to see. Use a frozen crab on the opposite wall in order to better time the crab being used for clipping and as a way to climb on top of it.

Using the slow global crab to ascend the top section of the room requires the speed blocks to not be broken. Jump with either Springball or HiJump onto the global crab while it is climbing the section above the Speed locked item. Have Reserves set to manual and return them to auto after taking a deadly crab hit in order to gain two damage boosts. If the Speed blocks are broken, the global crab will not be able to reach this part of the room. If Morph is unavailable, then a down-grab must be done blind: buffer the down input through the reserve refill, then press forward immediately after taking damage.

Requires:

"canXRayClimb"
"canBePatient"
"canOffScreenMovement"

Climb up 2.5 screens. Stop when about half of Samus (or less) is visible at the top of the screen. Turn-around a couple times to move to the right, to get close to falling out. Then perform a buffered spin-jump while turning around to the right, to make it onto the platform. The Choot will be safely off-camera and will not hit Samus while passing through it.

Use one bomb to get to the off-screen region. After going a full screen to the right, when Samus is partially visible in the left wall, bomb to the middle platform on the right. Bomb again to the right, note that these small platforms are one tile left of the ones that are on camera. Exit G-Mode and get to the right door.

}

Dev note: Spring Ball and Gravity wouldn't be required with some risky off-screen horizontal bomb jumps. This strat is only useful for avoiding a wall jump. A simpler variant exits G-Mode after the morph tunnel.

Immediately after teleporting, press down to retract Grapple to avoid getting stuck inside the wall (in case the top door is blue, causing it to open with Grapple on entry).

Entrance condition:

{
  "comeInWithGrappleTeleport": {
    "blockPositions": [
      [
        7,

Requires:

"canOffScreenMovement"

This climb is from the left side of the left room, the room with the breakable grapple block. Climb up 3 screens. The camera will not move up to Samus while on the left wall. Carefully jump over the pit without falling in. It helps to step down and use the two-tile long runway.
