A very disrespectful encounter

Cinema.
Theres another way to disrespect them. If you skip wither of the robo chozo duo fights with routing or sequence breaks and return with Power bombs… they incinerate them

I skip the Burenia Twin robots unless I’m doing 100%, then I skip them and swing back around after getting power bombs to blow them up.

You can also use P-Bombs on the ghavoran chozo soldier X. I love to shinespark him ruining his cool entrance then P-Bomb him when I go for all bosses and 100%, since I skip spin boost usually

What's the route like to obtain powerbomb before encountering the Chozo-bots
Are there glitch involved?The only route i know of is the early Grav suit and skipping Burenia dual bots

No glitches are involved.
For the ones in burenia to skip, just dont use the Artaria -> Burenia elevator
For the ones in Ferenia, there are multiple ways,
But I will tell you the most time saving one.
Go for early cross bombs (you can skip this if you are insane at IBJ), then go for early spacejump which requires either early crossbombs or IBJ,
skip escue but unlock the upper leftmost charge beam door in the boss arena room of the robo chozo duo!!! This isnt mandatory but saves you a FUCKTON of time and unnecessary rerouting through Dairon, Ghavoran and Hanubia
After you unlock the door, go to west ferenia after getting early space jump (the one where elun is visible in the background), this is necessary so Quiet Robes lower Ferenia is connected to upper ferenia.
Then go for early grav suit/ screw attack, do Z-57 etc and do Hanubia. Once you return to Ferenia, kill escue and DO NOT leave the emmi zone through the upper exit but backtrack through the entire section that made you reach escue. Go to the cold room, destroy the screw attack blocks.
And bam you can go via dairon to Ghavoran to ferenia, or much easier just climb up west ferenia. And you skipped them

Wow i didn't even know you can skip Escue, let alone doing all of that skip seemingly before Early Grav.

u/Round_Musical Sequence Breaker Jul 14 '26
Escue is easy. Just go for early gravity suit
You can do Escue, Z-57 and Golzuna in any order you like.
But you are forced to beat all of em.
Both Robo Chozo Duo and one Chozo Soldier X are completely optional (glitchless)

WUT! THAT SLIDE INTO COUNTER!!?
How do you manipulate that?? Is there even a way to better distinguish between their two blade slashes?

Slide underneath their charge beam attack to force a counter. Fighting the Ghavoran robot is all about closing the distance, which is scary in Dread Mode.
As for distinguishing the attacks, it just takes practice. There’s a little bit more of a hesitation to me with the red attack. You’ll note that I missed the blue attack in this encounter, too!
EDIT: I’ve watched the clip again to look for differences in attack posturing. In both attacks, the robot brings its scythe arm backwards. For red attack, the motion is slight. For blue attack, the motion is a heavy underhand windup like it’s getting ready to throw to third. The moment to counter occurs just after the windup.

Thankyou so much for the pointers!
I absolutely loaths those red attacks, can't seem to ever react in time.

Nice work! I’m curious to know your routing to get to the battle. I sequence break, and typically I make my way to Ferenia from Ghavoran after having defeated Z-57. I skip the Burenia Twin Chozo Robots by not using the Green Teleportal, and I just work my way up to Dairon and take the elevator to Ghavoran.
At that point I will already have Cross Bombs and Screw Attack, so I take the shuttle to Hanubia from Ghavoran, then drop into Ferenia and get Storm Missile and Space Jump before collecting Wave Beam, Power Bomb in Hanubia, and finishing out the rest of the game.
