Secret World 9 Main Plaza

Discovered By: Destroyer F
This Secret World can be found in Chozo Ruins in the room Main Plaza. This SW became one of the most significant and useful MP1 SW discovered, bringing with it the most opportunities for exploitation and further discoveries.

We had been really looking for a way out of Main Plaza for a while as it's the access point to a few different rooms.

.:How To Get In:.
This can be done as early as you have the Space Jump Boots (preferably from the very start and nothing else (although the Morphball and Bombs would be handy if you get stuck, literally).

Your first goal is to get onto the roof above the door that has the missile lock on it normally (you can reach it from the bridge above). Once on here you need to preform a turning L-Lock SJ (if you are trying this at the start of the game) up to the ledge that holds the missile expansion. Or use the grapple beam from the door that leads to Runied Fountain Access.

Once on here you should look at the red plant that sits up and to left of the Main Entry door (if you were to look up and left upon first entering the Main Plaza). (See screenshots 1, 2, 3 and 4).

The red plant is actually solid, so preform a careful SJ onto it and turn around 180 degrees. You'll be facing where the missile expansion was/is. Lock your view up 45 degrees and you'll see a rock pillar sticking out. SJ up-right and then left to land on this.

Now, Be careful if you want to be able to "wallcrawl" around the room, so do a smaller SJ up to the top. Best thing to do here is turn around about 160 degrees and SJ onto the wider bit of the roof. (See screenshots 5, 6, 7 and 8).

From here you can decide where and what you want to do. Go through Ruined Fountain Access? Get Morphball before Missiles? Or simply watch the beetles sink into ground and disappear in mid-air...
