		+
		+	Blow up each of the four tendons with a missile each, or a set of seeker missiles. Prepare your light beam and scan visor.
		+
		+	== Larvae Phase ==
		+
		+	Pay constant attention to your radar. Wherever it jumps or dives out of the pool, the radar will always tell you ahead of time.
		+
		+	Turn left, scan it for a half second, then charge your light beam. Jump close and shoot it when it dips out of the pool. Finish scanning it (scanning chykka larvae is necessary to be able to lock on its chest), and shoot it with a second charged light beam when it dips out again. Do not shoot it anymore; damaging it more will make it not jump out of the pool after its finished swimming. Instead, wait (shoot the spawned enemies for ammo/missiles if you need too) until it's finished swimming.
		+
		+	Look at your radar, charge your power beam, and aim where it's about to pop out. The moment it jumps out, shoot a super missile into its chest.
		+
		+	Chykka Larvae will return to its swimming phase. Attack it with charged light beam shots every time it dips out, until it's done swimming.
		+
		+	It should now lean over the platform you're standing on. There are multiple ways to deal with this:
		+
		+	* If you have annihilator beam, start spamming annihilator beam shots and get close to its chest when it reveals it, so more annihilator beam shots can hit. If you're fast, you can finish it off right here on the first round.
		+	* If you don't have annihilator beam, then use uncharged dark beam shots until it reveals its chest. Slam a super missile into it.
		+	* If this is the second time it's leaning on the platform, then you should use 3 charged light beam shots and one uncharged to reveal its chest, then hit it with a super missile. This is to conserve dark ammo.
		+
		+	After this round, it'll go back to swimming around. Damage it the same way as before, and it should lean on the platform again; finish it off with one of the above methods.
		+
		+	== Light Adult Chykka ==
		+
		+	This is easily one of the most difficult fights in the game, and takes a lot of practice. Light Chykka is weak to dark beam, so the best way to stun it is with dark beam; the first light phase can be stunned by one charged dark shot, and the second light phase is stunned by one charged and one uncharged dark shot. However, because the dark beam travels very slowly, this can be very annoying. It is recommended to NOT lock onto chykka while aiming your dark beam, as ammo is generally low and you want to hit with as many shots as possible.
		+
		+	When it is stunned, watch it to see which way it turns (it'll always turn its back to one of the three platforms), then get on the appropriate platform, keeping your dark beam equipped. Stand as far away from chykka as possible, on the platform, so your missiles take longer to reach it (meaning more time to charge dark beam).
		+
		+	* If you have seekers, fire one set of seeker missiles at all four wings.
		+	* If not, then lock on one wing and fire two missiles at it. If it's the last wing, then use one super missile (you don't use supers on the first three wings, since the cooldown doesn't let you charge your dark beam quickly enough).
		+
		+	Whichever method you use, immediately start charging your dark beam, walk close to it and aim, and shoot it.
		+
		+	* If this is the first light phase, and you do this quickly enough, you can stun it before it turns around, meaning you can blow up its wings from the same platform you're standing at.
		+	* If this is the second light phase, then shoot a few more uncharged dark shots to stun it, as it takes more hits to stun this time. It WILL turn around, so you won't be able to just hit its wings from the same platform.
		+
		+	If you run out of dark ammo, then using charged light beam shots to stun it is a good alternative. Uncharged annihilator shots is also a good alternative if your aim with dark beam is bad.
		+
		+	== Dark Adult Chykka ==
		+
		+	Four almost-fully charged light beam shots finish off dark adult chykka easily. You can easily finish it off before it attacks. However, if you're low on beam ammo and/or missiles, then you want to fire three charged light beam shots and wait for it to release chykklings. Shoot a charged light shot to get dark ammo, or uncharged dark shots to get light ammo, or uncharged annihilator for both, if you have it. After getting the ammo you need, finish its dark phase off.

		+
		+	Amorbis is a very straightforward fight, assuming you're coming in with light beam. In a speedrun, the only time you should ever be fighting amorbis is after you get light suit, in 100%.
		+
		+	You need, at minimum, 60 light ammo (more is recommended for rollshots). There will be one amorbis snake about to come out. Have your light beam charged and lock on and shoot it when you see it (use your radar to help). It'll instantly go to the center after diving once; hit it with a charged light shot again, morph, and drop bombs as it sucks you in to damage it permanently.
		+
		+	Repeat, except there will be two snakes; use a charged light shot for each. After blowing up both snakes with bombs, you will resume one last phase with three snakes. Do the same here.
		+
		+	After blowing up one snake at the central phase, you can do a rollshoot to start charging your light beam early while unmorphing.

 The second phase is where missiles become important, as Dark Samus has two attacks where she is completely invincible for several seconds. You want to constantly make sure she has no opportunity to use these attacks by firing a missile at her, then shooting a charge beam, then shooting a missile at her again to keep her in place, and so on.

		+	Use an uncharged light shot for each tentacle to take them out. When its weakness shows up, either spam uncharged annihilator shots, or use four super missiles to finish it in one round. Annihilator shots are considerably faster, but if you skipped annihilator beam, you have to use super missiles instead.

		+
		+	Roll around and use power bombs to take out multiple tentacles at once. Try to roll between two close holes, wait a bit, then plant a power bomb and roll to a further hole to lure out the third tentacle, so all three are taken out in one power bomb. If you can't use power bombs, or are at an isolated hole, then just use a set of 3 beams when the tentacle comes out.
		+
		+	== Phase 3 ==
		+
		+	Emperor Ing 3 takes considerable damage when Samus screw attacks it below its main body. Use a low-height screw attack to hit the air beneath it.
		+
		+	If it jumps, then do a high screw attack to deal massive damage to it. Otherwise wait for it to stay in place, then screw attack it to finish it quickly.

	On the Dark Alpha Splinter, alternate between fully-charged beams and missiles until you're at 3 missiles left. Use another charge shot then two missiles in a row, then uncharged shots to finish it.

		+
		+	After it goes dark, charge your beam and strafe around to its tail. Make sure you have a clear shot, as you can only hit the tail from behind, and not from the side. Shoot a charge beam with a few uncharged shots to stun it. Quickly strafe around and fire one uncharged power beam shot with a missile, then a fully charged shot. This will bring it just below 50% health left. Stun it again the same way, then use a missile and a fully charged shot to finish it in two rounds.
		+
		+	When Bomb Guardian is stunned, you can't hurt it from the back of its head with your beam. If you're in a bad position the moment it's stunned, use a missile first as it can hit it from behind, while strafing around, then use an uncharged shot (if it's the first round).
