Secret World 10 :: Arboretum

Discovered By: CtrlAltDestroy

This Secret World can be found in Chozo Ruins in the room Arboretum. This SW is quite difficult to get to, ideally requiring the use of the Ice Spreader and a quite a few missiles, but it's still do-able with just SJ, Bombs, MorphBall and Powerbeam. We will be taking advantage of an invisible branch that's attached to the tree, and using this to reach SW10.

.:NOTE:. This Secret World allows you to reach Flaahgra without the Morphball bombs (when used in conjunction with Wallcrawling and warping). Many thanks go to CtrlAltDestroy for discovering this.

.:How To Get In:.

The first thing that you should do is either kill all the wasps/wasp nests or the Chozo Ghosts. Once you have celared the room, make your way up to the very top to where the runic gate is/was. Now, if you have the Ice Spreader and a LOT of missiles, this will be much easier, as you will be able to see where it is you need to jump to. Otherwise, you'll be making use of the power beam to bounce the shots off of the invisble platform.

Face the tree and look to the far right of the tree. By shooting an Ice Spreader blast at this point (See screenshots 1 & 2). This will expose the branch for a few seconds. Now this is a REALLY hard part to get right, you must jump into the middle of where the tree and the branch meet. But it's VERY easy to not make it on and slip off. Once you have the hang of this, you will now be tasked with walking up the branch and making it to the end.

Now that we're on the tree, we must make it up the invisble branch. If you have LOADS of missiles, simply turn back to face the wall and shoot another Ice Spreader shot straight down. This will expose the Branch again and give you much more time to reach the end (which is easier to do now, so Space Jump up to near the very top, and carefully walk onto the rounded "tip").

If, however, you only have the Power Beam, you can fire rapid shots and use the trial of shot marks to guide you up the branch while it's invisible. (See screenshots 4, 5 and 6).

Once you make it to the end (keep shooting rapidly down with the Power Beam), you must look up at the ring that is above your head. We need to Space Jump up and over onto this. It's not easy, but if you jump out left and then right at the peak of your first jump, you SHOULD make it. Although, you'll most likely fall if you miss it (Screenshot 7).

Once on top, you must morph into a ball. We must now "hop" along in ball form by laying a bomb and holding up. This will propell us forward. Our goal is one of the metal segments that are attached to this ring. The best one isn't the closest one, but the one just further away. Once you reach it (See screenshots 8, 9 and 10), you must bomb jump towards this metal segment and unmorph.

With luck, you'll land on a solid bit. Now, simply move off, or wall-crawl your way around the room!
