</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]].

==Usage in Speedruns==

It ~~consists~~ of ~~wallcrawling from~~ [[~~Gathering Hall~~ (~~Chozo Ruins~~)~~|Gathering Hall~~]] ~~to Reflecting Pool Access~~.

Used to avoid traveling through [[Crossway]] and enables skipping the [[Chozo Ghosts]] fight in [[Hall of the Elders]].

Once you have transitioned into this room, you can choose one of three paths depending on your preference: Left side, right side, or bottom.

====Left Side====

Wallcrawling using the left side of the room is the fastest way of traversing this room out of bounds, and is the most common method for top-level speedruns. However, it is also the most complex and difficult of the three methods, and the most prone to failure if you don't have the proper experience.
