Going Faster On The Zoomer
Ok people listen up this is how it’s done, hold down L1 & R1 to go faster. Here’s the down side, you become very unstable which will make it hard for short turns and not crashes into things. But this is a great way to catch those pain in the bum Lurkers in the Precursor Basin or in the Mountain Pass or whatever little place you have to catch or get somewhere fast.

Once back down, the robot will shoot Green Eco into the Dark Eco pool. Dark Eco creatures will appear. Use the Yellow Eco to kill them all. Then, go to the Blue Eco vent and repeat the process with the floating drone. Once back down, the robot will shoot out about five or six red spheres. They cause a wave. Grab the Yellow Eco, and while jumping over the waves, shoot at the robot to break off a weapon. Repeat the process of the floating drone once more. Then, grab the Yellow Eco again then try and dodge the fireballs the robot throws. Shoot at the arm until it breaks. The ending sequence will begin. Then, if you have not already done so, go back to each location to complete each task. Collect 101 Power Cells to open the door on top of Gol and Maia's Citadel.
