Bryyo

	1.	(Reliquary II) From the giant Gateway chamber, release both locks on either side of the region to unlock the large ornate door on the west side. Travel through and clear the obstruction inside the narrow tunnels lining the walls of the chamber. Roll through and head right to discover a door beyond guarded by a few Hoppers. Enter the chamber to find this Energy Tank waiting inside. Go to walkthrough
	2.	(Vault) Right after landing at the Thorn Jungle Airdock you'll be greeted by two Armored Pirate Troopers in the Overgrown Ruins area.

Send a Missile into the wall to reveal a hidden door beyond, then step through to discover this Energy Tank inside. Go to walkthrough
	3.	(Ruined Shrine) Travel to the base of the Ruined Shrine beyond the Hidden Court to discover the aging remains of a statue's arm. Scan the arm to learn that age has considerably weakened the structure. Lay a Morph Ball Bomb beside it to reveal this Energy Tank hidden within. Go to walkthrough
	4.	(Machineworks Bridge) Right after securing Ship Missile BR.03 at the Colossus Vista, head through the now-revealed door to locate the Machineworks Bridge. Use the nearest Spinner device to rotate a bridge over the bottomless pit. Cross the bridge to the center and look up - see the Energy Tank floating above? Wait for a pair of Wall Jump surfaces to move towards you, then quickly scale them with the Screw Attack to reach the Energy Tank before the walls move away. Go to walkthrough
	5.	(Bryyo Ice - Tower) Once you've found the Spider Ball upgrade, return to Bryyo Ice and the massive Hall of Remembrance where you discovered the Screw Attack. Fly over the region and enter the Tower shaft beyond. Scale up the network of Spider Ball tracks lining the walls to eventually locate this Energy Tank high up at the very top. Go to walkthrough

Go to walkthrough
	3.	(Xenoresearch A Lift) You'll spot this Energy Tank inside a containment pod on your way through the Phazon Metroid-infested Xenoresearch area.

	4.	(Zipline Station Charlie) Soon after locating the Spider Ball upgrade you'll find yourself crossing back over Zipline Station Charlie via a network of Spider Ball tracks thanks to the inoperable Zipline Cable.
