I'm on Elysia and I'm running back to my ship because someone is damaging it. But I'm stuck at the Aurora unit, where I morph and hop in the kinetic lock. I'm trying to spin while energized (pressing B), but I'm not able to spin around I just sort of rock back and forth. It there a procedure I should be following?

You have to keep it up in a steady rythym.

Trying, but the phason runs out pretty quickly. I'll try again tonight.

Phazon? What phazon?

In case you're in Hypermode while using the boost ball, don't use hypermode. Also, don't treat the vertical locks like half pipes once you start spinning around.

It's very frustrating, but you'll be able to do it. I simply had to do it in the same direction...it made me mad as hell, it's so frustrating.

First off, thnks for the help.
I tried spinning in Hypermode, while pressing B, and it seems to slow me down, so that's no good. I also noticed that I'm hitting the edges and that slows me down as well. It's a tough one.

I was able to spin, using your suggestions. I spinned around once or twice and the lock even moved a couple inches but I still run out of phazon too quickly.

What is the step by step procedure, if there is one? I seem to have spinned through pure luck!

Don't use hypermode. It doesn't do anything, and it just gives you something else to worry about.

Yes, just go in one direction. Clockwise and counterclockwise are just as easy, so take your pick.

Hold b, then release while keeping the nunchuk stick in one direction. Simple.

As has been said; don't use Hyper Mode. All I do is move the control stick around in a circle while Boosting. I've never had any problems with it.

Neither have I...

Sorry, I haven't done those locks in a long time. You do have to move the joystick.
