Exploring the Bottom of the AotCR Shaft

with FrogBlast

 

These are the two oldest reports that I could find of someone actually getting to the very bottom of the shaft:

Pictures from the bottom of the shaft can be found in the HBO Tricks section. Ziga writes:

Lidch, Hud and Ziga discover that its possible to get back into the pelican that initially drops you off at the start of assault on the control room. Many interesting places can be reached after that, and to our surprise its possible to flip the pelican as its flying causing it to crash into many walls and bump around. If you time it perfectly you will make it all the way down into the pit and walk around in a blue fog.

Here's how to do it:

1) Play co-op in Assault on the Control Room.  Have both players press x to enter the pelican as soon as they begin to jump out.

2) After the screen begins to turn blue,  have one player jump out and hit the X button repeatedly to flip the Pelican.

That's it! When the player flips the pelican after it has started to turn over  (but before both players are ejected) it allows one player to remain seated in the pelican... and the pelican won't vanish.

Keeping a player in the pelican is easy... the hard part is timing the flip just right so that the pelican falls all the way down to the bottom without getting stuck or flipping the remaining player out.  I suggest trying to flip it several times when the player jumps out, by pressing X very quickly. This helps the pelican fall flat and upright.
