Metroid Prime 2: Echoes TAS - Reverse Boss Order 

I just saw this and my jaw was dropped for pretty much the whole video

Man, some people have all the luck

He probably thinked some surviving luminoth warrior keept fighting and somehow won against the ing horde.

1) yes, You need Dark Visor for the Keys and do get Dark Visor you need to defeat Chyyka. Also you beat the game after the Final bosses, so you can't defeat the previous ones. 2) Screw Attack activates the Dark Beam crystals. it also works with the crystals in the pirate base in Agon 3) yes, morphing the frame you enter a water box disables most of the water properties. it works in both dark- and normal water and is called the "Air Underwater" state in the Speedrun/Randomizer community. 4) this is a though one and I'm not sure whats the answer to this question since the model doesn't spawn sometimes when you have Varia Suit as well. I assume that the cutscene does only play properly when you have Both Varia and Power Beam active. 5) there is no death animation for Jump Guardian when being burnt, so the game despawns the main-model and uses the standard burning to death outline whenever you defeat an enemy with Light Beam

@@MaskedTAS thanks for the replies! Awesome TAS by the way. Also, would it at all be possible to wallcrawl out of the DS 3/4 fight back to the light portal as a proof of concept or does the game put you in a state that is impossible to change back from? And as for the cutscene - is it maybe position based on where Samus enters the cutscene trigger?

@@ctrlaltdestroy91 Thank you :) The portal in Dark Samus' room is not active and there is no way to get oob during the fight.

@@MaskedTAS Does the blue wall created in the fight prevent using the Sky Temple Gateway secret world?

@@ctrlaltdestroy91 yes

at 23:00 I'm entering a Cannon in the room Watch Station while the game thinks I'm in Central Area Transport West. Unloading Watch Station while being shot out of the Cannon allows me to keep the 'Cannon Ball' state, which has three distinct properties: - Total invulnerability while in Morph Ball - An aura around the Morph Ball that deals 500,000 damage per frame, which allows me to Insta-Kill some enemies, most noticeably the second phase of Chykka. This aura is also capable of activating certain doors that were previously locked (though it cannot unlock currently locked doors) without needing to use a weapon against them - Allows Samus to boost, even if she doesn't already have Boost Ball (not Important for this run since I keep Boost Ball at the beginning of the game)

Entering the dark water when the fight starts (when shooting the targets of the cocoon) gives you a 'floaty' effect when jumping. You lose floaty when entering dark or normal water again or leave torvus. This glitch doesn't work in Japanese and trilogy version.

@@MaskedTAS amazing, i had no idea

What are you, an AGDQ donation message?

Literally all the bosses you’re going to face are weak against it

​@@samushunter242dark samus have resistance against light beam also the caretaker robot

@@GKOYG_and_KAAF_is_epic yeah, one thing that the game doesn't tell you is that dark Samus isn't a darkling, so she take extra damage from dark beam Forgot to mention that I was talking about darklings and not all bosses as a whole

The energy transfer module is the most useless pickup in the game. It's a filler item which does nothing, it doesn't even give you an extra percentage for your item counter.

@@MaskedTAS Yeah...I see that now. As far as the game's actual code that is. Lore-wise it keeps the Ing from possessing you, and enables you to handle the energy from the controllers. Samus's suit isn't supposed to be able to do that without the module. But that's just the lore...in the code they didn't bother to make the module actually do anything.

Sadly no, even if you make it up there it doesn't teleport you

@@MaskedTAS wait you tried?

@@Exton_Z1 yeah, its known for years. I started running this game in 2011, and it was already known back then

at 23:00 I'm entering a Cannon in the room Watch Station while the game thinks I'm in Central Area Transport West. It's the main reason I do all the complicated stuff the 30 seconds prior

Screw attacking both bosses only works on the GameCube versions. It's a bit precise, especially for emperor ing

@@MaskedTAS one more question, could you make a video on how you got to quadraxis so fast?

​@@AscendedHaven discord.gg/tjSDqV2Y8s If you have Speedrun related questions, you should ask in the echoes Speedrun Discord. It's easier to communicate there

I pause buffer to make the next room load slower. if Torvus temple is loaded, there is a barrier in front of the door and by making it load later I can clip through the barrier by using screw attack

@@MaskedTAS sounds like a very cool trick I wonder who found it

@@MrMiguel211 just some random guy idk

@@MrMiguel211 it was me

​@@MaskedTASyo i just want to say thank you for explaining all questions about the speedrun

I tried it but never got it to work (im a caveman compared to this guy)
