Missile Tank 06 (Missile+ Tank)
| How to Solve |
|---|
 Shinespark Chaining |
| Map Location |
|
Start inside the EMMI Zone to build up speed into the next room. As you run, you will need to do a wall jump without holding a direction on the left analog stick (this will let you keep your momentum). Before you land on your feet, tilt the Left-Analog stick to the left to keep your momentum forward and then press ZL to slide into the hole. Keep running and then start wall jumping to reach the Missile+ Tank! Remember, you will keep your Speed Booster momentum as long as you don't hold any directional input after a wall jump.
Alternatively, you can also do Shinespark Chaining. Build up your Shinespark and use it against the stairs. As you run and slide through the hole, charge your Shinespark again before you hit the wall. Hitting a Shinespark on a slope will allow you to store another. Next, jump and land on a small piece of the floor right next to the Speed Booster Blocks and activate your Shinespark!

Energy Tank 05 (Energy Part)
| How to Solve |
|---|
|
| Map Location |
|
This Energy Tank can be found at the top left corner of Dairon. The timing for activating your Shinespark is strict for this puzzle. The moment you hear the sound queue for the Speed Booster, activate your Shinespark and start using Space Jump to climb up. Be careful not to hit any of the walls on your way up or you will not have enough time to pull off the Shinespark. Once you reach the top, be careful not to immediately activate your Shinespark. The game requires a slight delay after landing for Shinespark to activate. If you press it too fast, you will end up jumping instead.

Anonymous about 4 yearsYeah there’s this one energy tank part missing in this guide. You have to do a series of wall jumps after building up speed in the ice room next to the elevator leading to Ghavoran. I drew up a small guide for reference. I was checking here to see if there was any tips on this speed booster puzzle but alas, I will keep trying.
