G-Mode Morph (Extreme)
Cathedral Entrance
From: 1
Left Door

Right Door

Unmorph after exiting the morph tunnel and get to the other side of the room. Killing the Dessgeegas can be done with no beam upgrades; Samus can jump over them while shooting the last few hits or retreat to the left. It is possible to kill a Sova on the door and pause abuse to grab its Energy drop on G-mode exit. Samus will likely need to wait at the door for about a minute for the global Sova gets there.

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