===Boost jump method===
===Boost Jump method===
The fastest and best method of crossing Grand Abyss involves using a boost jump. Once outside, you can use the walls on both sides to perform the boost jump. The window for getting the [[Instant Morph/Unmorph|Instant Unmorph]] is fairly lenient in this area, so it's mostly a matter of timing your inputs correctly.

(Right Wall side is better as it doesn't make you move while in Morph Ball) The window for getting the [[Instant Morph/Unmorph|Instant Unmorph]] is fairly lenient in this area, so it's mostly a matter of timing your inputs correctly.


It it worth noting that it is possible to fail the jump, but still make it to the other side after touching the [[Terminal Fall]] trigger. This happens if you touch an invisible trigger that updates where the game will place you before touching the terminal fall trigger. Due to the long loading time of Vault, this doesn't save time, so there is no penalty for touching the terminal fall trigger as long as it places you on the other side afterwards.

This happens if you touch an invisible trigger that updates where the game will place you before touching the terminal fall trigger. Due to the long loading time of Vault, this doesn't lose any time, so there is no penalty for touching the terminal fall trigger as long as it places you on the other side afterwards and you're fast enough to reach the door.

===Extended dash method===
===Extended dash method===
This is inferior to the boost jump method due to needing to scan lock on one of the caretaker drones, but it still allows for multiple attempts. By performing an extended dash off of one of the drones, you will get enough speed to cross the gap. Again, it's possible to fail the jump and still make it as long as you make it far enough.
