Collect the X-Ray Visor, Artifact of Chozo, and multiple Missile Expansions in Tallon Overworld and Chozo Ruins.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In Great Tree Hall (Tallon Overworld), climb using platforms and a Spinner to open a gate. Navigate a Spider Track shaped like a "4" by dropping to the left side to proceed.
  2. 2
    In Life Grove Tunnel, use Spring Ball and Boost to navigate the ball course. Bomb the center of the top to find MISSILE EXPANSION (31/49).
  3. 3
    In Life Grove, first acquire the X-RAY VISOR. Use a Power Bomb to open walls (a Seedling can provide one if needed). In the deeper water, bomb the center drain to raise a pillar, then roll into the hole beneath it. Use the Spinner to rotate the platform, revealing an Artifact. Hop onto it from higher ground to obtain the ARTIFACT OF CHOZO (4/12).
  4. 4
    To exit Life Grove, hop onto higher platforms, roll through a ball course, and defeat three Chozo Ghosts. Use the X-Ray Visor to track them. A hatch opens near a Chozo Statue. Exit via the ball tunnel.
  5. 5
    Return to Great Tree Hall. Near two Bloodflowers, enter a cave with a higher Bloodflower and activate your X-Ray Visor to see an invisible platform. Hop onto it and proceed through the blue door.
  6. 6
    In Great Tree Chamber, collect MISSILE EXPANSION (32/49).
  7. 7
    Return to Great Tree Hall, drop to the root floor, and take the white door to the lift down to Chozo Ruins.
  8. 8
    In Furnace (Chozo Ruins), use a Power Bomb to open a halfpipe. Use Bomb Jumps and Spider Tracks to cross the course, collecting MISSILE EXPANSION (33/49).
  9. 9
    In Watery Hall, enter a small tunnel in the deep water at the back of the room to find MISSILE EXPANSION (34/49).
  10. 10
    Proceed through Ruined Fountain and Meditation Fountain to Magma Pool. Use a double swing with the Grapple Beam to cross. Use a Power Bomb on the other side to open a wall, revealing POWER BOMB EXPANSION (1/4) and a Chozo Lore entry.
  11. 11
    In Training Chamber Access, roll through leaves near the floor to find a hidden tunnel containing MISSILE EXPANSION (35/49).
  12. 12
    In Training Chamber, defeat two Chozo Ghosts. Use the halfpipe to boost to Bomb Switches. The right switch activates a Spider Track and ball-a-vator, leading to ENERGY TANK (12/14). The other switch opens the exit.
  13. 13
    Navigate Piston Tunnel, avoiding pistons.
  14. 14
    In Main Plaza, use the Grapple Point above to reach MISSILE EXPANSION (36/49).
  15. 15
    Take the route through Ruined Shrine to Tower of Light. Instead of climbing, hop into the water and proceed to the next room.
  16. 16
    In Tower Chamber, collect ARTIFACT OF LIFEGIVER (5/12).
  17. 17
    Return to Tallon Overworld. In Root Cave, climb higher using the Grapple Beam and invisible platforms visible with the X-Ray Visor. Near the top, find MISSILE EXPANSION (37/49) behind a leafy wall, visible with X-Ray.
