Sacred Path

The Sacred Path is a room in the Temple Grounds. It appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and it connects the Grounds to the Great Temple.
==Description==
In this room there are four War Wasp Hives. There is a Portal rift that will take Samus to Dark Aether's Profane Path, but it is inaccessible without the Space Jump Boots.
When Samus enters the room, she must scan for a weak section in the wall and fire a missile at it. The missile won't destroy the wall, but it will weaken it. Then she must go to the part of the room that has an unactivated Kinetic Orb Cannon. If she looks around with the Scan Visor, she will find the switch that activates the cannon. The cannon will send her straight through the crumbling wall. Samus can then roll on the track to the door to the Elevator.
