:"In the tall shaft on the right side of the hideout, you'll find a column of breakable blocks. After your battle with Kraid, you can climb the shaft with a boost from the blocks. Blast them with your Beam, then jump up and let them re-form under your feet. If you fall, try to land on the solid blocks that float close to the column."
