Dread mode playthrough.

I fought the 2 chozo robots before getting storm missile and that really sucked. Apart from that, Dread mode was easier than the 0% hard mode playthrough.

I had 2 plans for keeping frozen Ataria. I locked myself out of one of the plans, and the other plan didn't work.

However I still managed to use this playthrough as a hard mode speedrun.

My 'speedrun' playthrough. (2:40:17)

Haven't properly seen any speedruns so I kinda just made my own route as I went along. No glitches involved.

Hard mode 0% playthrough.

My routing this time around was so wierd. I got gravity suit, plazma beam and screw attack before cross bomb or space jump.

The final boss was so difficult as well. Any attack (including contact) was a one shot kill, and the second phase took so long without missiles.

3rd playthrough. Sequence breaks are so cool. It's actually incredible how much detail goes into every single aspect of this game.

Hard mode playthrough. I'm now realising how easy navigation is if you just go with the flow.

Still amazing 2nd time around. I think I might have appreciated it even more this time.
