Sacred Path is one of the few rooms that Samus will encounter in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes that has the same enemies each visit. In here there are four War Wasp Hives including one that is very hard to find without the Space Jump Boots. There is a Portal that will take Samus to Dark Aether but it is inaccessible without the Space Jump Boots. The portal in this room leads to the place where a Sky Temple Key is located.

When she 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.
