General Information

Room Layer Information
Default
Beetles
Space Pirate
Don't load
Flying Pirates

Scaring off the passive Flying Pirates in this room and also defeating the 3 injured Space Pirates near the Frigate Access Tunnel door disables layer "Space Pirate", and enables layer "Beetles". Doing just one of those actions will not enable the "Beetles" layer which causes the Beetles and Jelzaps to spawn.

  • For instance, if you scare off the passive Flying Pirates without defeating the other 3 Space Pirates, upon leaving the room and returning to the reloaded Frigate Crash Site, the 2 Flying Pirates will be gone, but the 3 Space Pirates will remain.
  • Likewise, if you defeat the 3 Space Pirates from the Frigate Access Tunnel side of the room without scaring off the 2 Flying Pirates, upon leaving the room and returning to the reloaded Frigate Crash Site, the 3 Space Pirates will be gone, but the 2 Flying Pirates will remain.

Acquiring the Ice Beam in Antechamber disables layer "Beetles" in this room, and enables layer "Flying Pirates".
