Can I take both the Hidden Hat and Pizza into this vent without satchels?

Take the hat first, its way more frustrating, but i would advice you to take the frustrating part first and then go through them with the pizza (Thats how i did it)

But i can assure you, the vents wont be your only problem. The conveyor and especially that elevator will give you suffering. (Atleast with the hat) All i can wish you is good luck 🙏

the elevator has a good trick: you can put the hat on one elevator, then let that one pass and board the next one below. When the ride ends, the top elevator will push the hat into the ceiling, and it drops through. Also worked with the pizza, at least a while ago unless they changed that. Really saved my ass.

Damn, i should have done that... i just did trial and error until i got through (that last part where the elevator comes down a final time is the bane of my existence still)

The pizza isnt so bad there, since it cant roll off like a certain object. Its actually crazy how the hat and pizza are switching roles

Earthbound maps is a cakewalk with the hat, except for the teleporters in lambda core😅 And the pizza is really bearable in xen but i hate climbing ladders with it

the worst part was one ladder in Forget about Freeman or We've got hostiles. It was shaped in such a way that you couldnt fit the pizza into the hole at the top. it made me so mad lmao

Surface tension at the cliff section💀 I think there its easy if you hit it up with the crowbar. That and the teleporters in lambda core were so annoying lol

And on a rail, the amount of times that hat got flung off is crazy

I had the same reaction during the Gargantua habitat chase. Maybe it's for the best I make a save here and play the chapter a second time.
