Can't figure out how to progress through Black Root Burrows

[pczelda2005]

I'm trying to earn 100% but I'm having difficulty. I have all the skills and abilities unlocked, and I'm in the part where there's a floor button switch and a door high up that closes way too fast no matter how I try to get up to it, with a lantern behind it and some yellow/green bulbous things. I've looked through the area but I can't find any sign of a boulder or something heavy to hold down the switch, and the purple spike enemy nearby that splits into smaller parts when attacked can't be bashed to make it fall on the switch. Anyone have a tip here? Thanks!

I don't remember the area exactly but if it's a lantern you should need to launch a light burst into the door to light it.

If we are both thinking about the same place then the solution is quite simple, Ori needs to stay on the floor switch and use light burst from there and aim well.

You probably went the wrong way and missed Light Burst. You're not the first person to do that. The Ancestral Tree should be on your map if you did the Map Stone before.

Thx that's what I needed. Wow I had no idea that the light burst could be aimed and thrown farther.

No I have all the skills you find and all the abilities you can earn from the soul tree, as stated above.

Now, in the same area, I'm having issue trying to figure these 2 parts out as shown in the screenshots here http://imgur.com/a/xdxgL

The first one, I can't figure out why that switch is there at all, it opens up that door, but why? It could only be a shortcut if you could get it to stay open, but you move off and it shuts.

The second switch turns off that beam, but I can't figure out what that accomplishes, no matter how I throw a light ball it disappears before it can activate anything. And there's that energy ball nearby on the map that I can't see how to get to.

Those blue bumpers that make you jump higher are not just there for you to jump on...

Well that much I figured out on my own. I can't figure out anything further though.

In the bottom screenshot, you're supposed to stand on the pressure switch and then throw a Light Burst so that it bounces off the 2 blue jump pads and opens your path. But you've already done that if you've gotten to the other place.

In the top screenshot, your supposed to throw the lever below the bridge first. Then stand on the pressure switch, and from there use dash to get through the gate before it closes. Charge Dash works better for the first movement. It will be close, but just try not to let the gate close on top of you and kill you.

Hmm ok, but what I can't figure out is how to get to that energy orb somewhere in the bottom right corner of the 2nd screenshot, according to the map I have one there and it's the last area that I still have to get 100% from. I tried what you said, even turned the lever below the bridge to close the gate blocking off the section that has the spirit portal, thinking that might open up the hidden area but it didn't. Any suggestions for that? And thanks.

Nevermind, accessed from the underwater section, found it.
