X-Ray Visor Without Spiderball

Discovered By:????
This trick is useful in both a low % run as well as speed runs in general. This is one of the older Sequence Breaks that exists and has been around for quite a while. It exploits the ability to stand on objects/scenery that Retro placed flat collision detection on.

It's a pretty easy trick to do and is possible on every version of Prime.

.:How To:.
Once you're in the Great Tree Hall, you need to kill the Greemer and kill the Bloodflower and jump into the alcove that housed the Bloodflower. Now, look at the spiderball track to your left and lock your view to the center of the Spidertrack. From here, Space Jump over to the center pillar. It's quite thin, so still be careful. Once you've landed on this, turn right 90 degrees and L-Lock your view down (see screenshots 1 & 2).

L-Lock Your View Here Turn Right and Lock Your View Down

Space Jump out then in to land on top of the pillar you're facing. The final step involves a larger blind Space Jump backwards and then back forwards. By doing this, you will land on the platform in front of the ice door! Voila! Now collect the X-Ray Visor as per usual.
