Hydrodynamo Shaft is a room located in the lower level of Torvus Bog in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It contains a dark portal.
Fast Strats
This room is often used as an easy way to harvest Dark Beam and Light Beam ammo, due to the presence of the Hydlings near the dark portal. The Annihilator Beam makes this especially fast. In speedruns, however, the fastest way of obtaining this ammo entails shooting at the Hydlings in mid-air with light beam while moving towards the step, and shooting them a couple times with dark beam afterwards. This makes it so that Hydrodynamo Station starts loading faster.
Without Gravity Boost
By getting Air Underwater in Hydrodynamo Station and persisting it into Hydrodynamo Shaft, it is possible to perform a Screw Attack in the direction of the portal, allowing Samus to get to it without Gravity Boost.
