Secret World 6 Phendrana Shorelines
Discovered By: CtrlAltDestroy
This Secret World can be found in the Phendrana in the room Phendrana Shorelines. This one may appear easy to do, as you only need to do one trick. But, don't let that fool you. This is up there in difficulty with Secret World 3 as it requires almost exact precision to pull it off correctly.
This SW was also previously only possible in the US version, but thanks to my probing/theories and to z0idi's determination and skill, we have been able to devise a universal method that works for ALL versions.
The universal technique can be found below with the US only method can found directly after, with movies available for both methods.
.:Please Note::. The universal method requires you to have the X-RAY VISOR. Without this, you cannot get in...
.:How To Get In:.
.:Universal Method:.
This method uses the target lock-on feature with the X-Ray visor to lock onto one of the three flickerbats that circle the center of the level constantly.
Get to the front of the door that triggers off the Meta-Ridley cut-scene and look right 30 degrees. The edge starts to dip a little, this is where we need to walk to. So walk up to it, look down near the snow pillars and then switch on the x-ray visor. You will now be able to lock onto the flickerbats (See screenshots 1, 2, 3 and 4).
Once you have switched on the x-ray visor, lock onto a flickerbat (any one will do). Now, let it move as far away from the screen as possible. It will turn right to circle around, so just BEFORE it does this, dash-jump right with a SHORT tap of B. So that's, lock-on, then tap right with a tap of B to send you flying right. Now, let go of L and press B again about three quarters of the way across, to make it onto the ledge (See screenshots 5, 6, and 7).
This isn't easy and will take practice, but it is CERTANLY do-able. To see this method in action, right-click on and save the movie below:
SW6: Universal Method (1.24 Megs)
.:US Original Only Method:.
Enter the room and make your way to the entrance that triggers off the cut-scene with Meta-Ridley. Look at the front of the ledge, where you notice it goes into a small 'V' shape. We will be using this for positioning guidance in a second or two.
If you take a look at the door leading to Ice Ruins East, you'll notice the ridge above it slopes down. We're aiming for the lowest point which sits just to the left of the door. Now turn left to look at the Ice Temple. Remember the Cordite you can blow up with a Super Missile to get the Missile Expansion? That's what we'll be using to scan-dash from. (See screenshots 1, 2, 3 and 4).
Using your Scan Visor, lock onto the Cordite in the distance. Position yourself VERY carefully to ensure you're in the optimum position to accomplish this difficult jump. To get the optimum positioning, we're going to place the bottom-left corner of the scan-visor in the middle of the V we noticed earlier. Now, strafe right until you're almost off the edge.
Say hello to the tricky part. I hope you managed Space Jump Boots first before as we'll be re-using that very trick here. Except, only over a MUCH longer distance. The secret to a great Scan-Dash jump, is in the momentum that you can gain when you "snap" the jump.
By this I mean, instead of holding the lock-on for any length of time, release the lock, then move your lock left a bit (because we have to dash to the right). Now, quickly move your visor right and as the lock-on target comes into view, VERY quickly press L and then tap B (if you hold B at all, you'll lose all the momentum you need). Now, about 1 second after starting the high-speed dash, release L.
This will shoot you off to the right at much greater speed. Now, about 1/2 way across or so, use your Space Jump to give you the required height to land on the ledge. Simply turn around and walk along the ledge to the Ice Temple Roof, or simply walk off backwards into Secret World 6! (See screenshots 5, 6, 7 and 8).
