Middle Item

Go into the morph tunnel below the Charge Beam location and Crystal Flash to force a standup and jump through. Samus is now unable to use X-Ray. Without Morph, be careful not to overload PLMs using the camera scroll blocks on the path upward. Then partially floor clip into the left side of the bomb block, and jump to clip through and escape. To exit G-Mode, damage down until the reserves trigger, which can be done most quickly using the Sidehoppers.

Use the Solid Blocks next to the Samus Eater to clip up through the Power Bomb Blocks. The thorns do not cover the entire blocks above. Jump barely only onto the corner to avoid the damage. Carefully jump around the thorns, tunnel crawl slightly to avoid touching the thorns when partial floor clipping. Morph and x-ray can be used instead to setup the clip much easier.

Break the Power Bomb statue leaving 1 row of blocks. Partially clip beneath the Power Bomb blocks and the sold tiles beneath. Wait for a Dessgeega to jump over head and jump into it.

Item (Behind the Bomb Wall) (locked)
To: 1

Notable: true

Crystal flash to force a standup then spin jump up then morph to bypass the dead robot. Use Coverns to damage down if necessary. Note that if the Covern spawns on Samus while crystal flashing, it will deal large amounts of damage. To avoid this, it is recommended to kill the Covern and leave its drop, then quickly get in the morph tunnel and CF.

Notable: true

In R-Mode, kill the Coverns until there is Energy in Samus's Reserves. Get into the Morph tunnel and go to the far left. Wait for Coverns to damage Samus down until Reserves trigger, forcing a stand up and enabling her to escape. Note that it is required to break the bomb block above the Morph tunnel as well, in order to clip out.

Crouch under the crumble blocks while aiming upward, using both angle buttons then freeze the Mochtroid while it is on Samus. Jump onto the Mochtroid by quickly pressing down after jumping, when on it, press up to stand then jump through the ceiling.

Crouch and freeze a Mochtroid to clip into the space behind the grapple blocks. Jump and tap grapple while aiming diagonally to be pushed into the wall just the right amount. Samus should be one tile below the grapple blocks and fully in the wall. Too short a tap and the next grapple will not work, too long and Samus will be stuck in the wall. Grapple diagonally again to be pushed into the transition.
