Manipulate the movement of the Sm. Dessgeegas by entering the room in a specific way. Multiple setups are possible: A relatively safe method is to walk into the room (with no dash speed, and any amount of base speed or none at all), walk off the ledge, and press against the opposite ledge to align with it. After landing, wait a moment, then run off the edge and across the room. If successful, the first Sm. Dessgeega should have hopped to the right, out of Samus' way, and the second Sm. Dessgeega should do a big hop while Samus runs under it. A more aggressive method involves walking into the room, and holding dash starting when Samus is about 1 tile from falling off the ledge; start holding forward again slightly before landing on the small floating platform, while continuing to hold dash.

Rooms containing hopper-type enemies (including Sm. Dessgeegas) reset RNG on entry, which makes it possible to manipulate their movement in a deterministic way. It also means the Sova drop can be manipulated by killing it on specific frames relative to room entry. Because the Sova is global, its position can be used as a cue for when to kill it. If Samus is full on Missiles, there are several 3-frame windows of where it can be killed to obtain a big energy. The exact timing required for the shot will depend on the weapon used.
