Metroid Prime Gravity without Varia - Part 1

Part 1 of me going to get the Gravity Suit without the Varia Suit. I'm doing this in Normal Mode, but it should be possible in Hard Mode as well.

I was able to do the Ice Beam before Flaaghra (Secret World) sequence break, and was able to get an extra Energy Tank thanks to that.

You just lose health a bit faster in the Magmoor Caverns, but you should still have enough to be able to get the Energy Tank in the Morph Ball Tunnel.

Is there a way to see videos of you passing through magmoor caverns?

@SFXray

I was never able to record those due to it taking me too long to do so. I was able to do it be random luck. You can find videos of it on metroid2002 though.

its weird how without the varia suit you dont take environmental damage from extreme cold like in Phendrana Drifts but you do take damage from extreme heat in Magmoor Caverns? Doesnt the Varia Suit protect you from both? Or am I getting myself confused...

@TheSmurfy18

No, the Varia Suit doesn't protect you from both, but that's because it was never intended for you to get to Phendrana without the Varia Suit anyway. In Other M, she gets the Varia Suit before Sector 2, but IIRC,you could enter Sector 2 before 3 and not get hurt by the cold. In Fusion, Samus was weak to the cold due to her having the Metroid DNA within her, and she truly needed the Varia Suit to protect her there.

how many energy tanks require to cross magmoor to phendrana without varia suit?

[DarkSamus567]

you can use the charge beam to destroy the ice blockade without using missiles.

@ShadowMario3 ah ok i just always thought the Varia Suit protected her from both, I must have just been thinking about Metroid Fusion

[Fredcat11]

@randytricks At least 3 I think, and need a load and load of Energy Balls to survive it through.

@Kirathewolf1 lol i was about to comment on the same thing. I was like "really!? What are the odds!?!"

[ShadowMario3]

@MetroidPeter

Probably not. The only other game that has a cold environment was Fusion, and he being hurt there was because of the Metroid DNA within her making her weak to the cold.

[MetroidPeter]

@ShadowMario3 Ok, but in reality, it would still hurt samus.
