Double bomb-jump
Samus is still without her Spring Ball ability in this adventure so you'll need to rely on the tried-and-true double bomb-jump to propel her high enough to reach certain areas. Firstly, stay still while in Morph Ball mode and lay a bomb.
Lay a second just before it detonates, then lay a third at the apex of the jump when the first bomb launches Samus into the air. If timed correctly you'll land on top of the second bomb as it blows, propelling Samus up into the air to hopefully catch the third as it goes off, sending her even higher.
Unlocking Gorea phase 2
Refer to the bosses guide or the walkthrough for tips to unlock the final Gorea battle.
