IBBF (PT5) - Crossway -> Elders Access

Now that Crossway is open the goal isn't too far away anymore. But that doesn't mean that you can't be careful on your way to the Hall of the Elders... Dump CAW and once you're standing on the roof above where the door is, turn to face Crossway's half-pipe and lock your view. Now, you need to jump to the right and as soon as you can see the wall in front of you stop, press jump and forwards INTO this wall straight ahead. Now morph into a ball and KEEP UP HELD THROUGHT!

This will allow you to do an infinite bomb jump UP the side of the wall to the roof at the top. It's a slow process, but it works. You CAN speed it up somewhat by releasing forward on the stick JUST before a bomb explodes. This will shoot you up higher with more velocity BUT you MUST press up again to "catch" onto the wall. Otherwise, you'll be falling to the bottom of Crossway before you know it... If you find that you can't bomb any higher for some reason, unmorph and then remorph again and start bombing again. (See screenshots below)

Once you're at the top of Crossway, the view might start to go all wierd while still in ball form, so unmorph to get it behind you and remorph again and lay a bomb and jump forwards while unmorphing. You *should* be standing on a safe spot. If not, do the L-Jump sideways trick until you can stand ok. Now do a SJ up to the edge of the hole in the roof as this is has a nice safe spot to stand on (see the bottom left shot below). Now simply do a normal SJ to be skywalking over the room. Start walking forwards and you'll notice the massive drop down to the section below. Be wary of this as it is decieving of how much actual "landing" space there is available below.

Look down and you should notice a gap in the roof below because you'll be wanting to land around this area. It's safer to land a bit too far back than forwards in this room, so try and land on or behind the hole in the roof if at all possible. So morph and unmorph at the right height to prevent yourself from bouncing off of the roof. (See Screenshots below).

Once you're on the lower roof ok, L-Jump over to the top of the door itself. Now, plesae note you WILL encounter a VERY VERY annoying graphic (a part of the roof) that is sticking in your face and obscuring the screen completely. You can overcome this by moving backwards on the door (making sure that the door itself is on YOUR left. Once the graphic is out of the way, unlock the door with a missile and then grey it out as per normal. Now, we need to secretize Elder's Access as it's not possible to door warp into Crossway (there's strangely a gap before the door)... so to secretize the next room, once the door is grey, do a door dump on that door.

When done correctly, the door will turn blue again, the GC will whirr away and Elders Access will be secretized. Now with that out of the way, move towards EA and it will appear on the screen. Watch out for that annoying graphic getting in the way again and proceed to dump Crossway from the screen.
