Hanubia Walkthrough

Speedrun Route Walkthrough

While the story walkthrough is linear, you can also use various sequence breaks to unlock upgrades early and defeat bosses easier, access areas quicker, and even skip some sections entirely. This can save tons of time per run, which makes it perfect for speedrunning Metroid Dread.

Skip the First Broken EMMI

To skip the first broken EMMI, you must shoot through this wall from the left side using a Pseudo Wave Beam shot. To do this, you will need to slide, then jump and shoot. If timed correctly, your shot will go through the wall and reach the crack. Do this a few times to break the wall and continue to the upper left. If you slide through the gap, you will be forced to continue right and face the broken EMMI normally.

Be careful of your spacing on the last hit when the wall mass starts glowing. The final hit will cause an explosion and a large boulder will drop. This can kill you even at max health.
