Room Climb Method

It is also possible to climb the room from the side nearest to Elder Hall Access, jumping on the curved metal fence, then onto the pipes, then into the tunnel where the item is located.

This can be easily circumvented as seen in the below video, where Samus can easily land on the higher pipes and get the item. No matter which version you're doing this trick on, the principle is still the same.

Scan Dash

This is a variant of this strat that skips going onto the pipes in favor of a trickier Scan Dash.
