</table>A well known sequence break to obtain Ice Beam without collecting spider ball or wave beam.
</table>'''Ice Beam Before Flaahgra''' ('''IBBF''') is a trick in [[Metroid Prime]] that allows for the [[Ice Beam]] to be acquired immediately after getting the [[Morph Ball Bomb|Morph Ball Bombs]] in most speedrun routes. It is a lengthy wallcrawl that traverses a lot of rooms, but it avoids having to do the puzzle in [[Energy Core]] and skips needing to have [[Wave Beam]] to go to the far region of Chozo. Depending on the route, it can also be counterintuitively referred to as '''IBBFAF''' ('''Ice Beam Before Flaahgra After Flaahgra'''), as some routes incorporate this wallcrawl after defeating [[Flaahgra]].
 
It consists of wallcrawling from [[Gathering Hall (Chozo Ruins)|Gathering Hall]] to Reflecting Pool Access.
