Chapter 9 speedrun hints and help

Badboy Marti · 11-17-2008, 01:35 PM

Hi all i was looking at this forum and there does not seem to be a thread about the almost impossible speedrun of chapter 9 so i thought i would make one so everyone can disscuss hints and shortcuts on this level i will start with a few pointers
1. The starting 2 corridors are pretty stright forward but all im going to say is that you really want to be inside that parking garage by 50 seconds
2. When you are in the garage head toward the lifts disarm the first machine gunner and keep the gun and shoot the two guys by the lifts ignoring the other machine gunner near by press the button and get in the lift for anywhere between 1.10 and 1.15 the quickest i have done is 1.08
3. After you exit run down and use the chair to spring board up go to break the door and a cutscene will take place at this point it the time should be about 1.20
4. once the cutscene ends or you have skipped it run sorta to you right and spring board to the next level useing the chairs keep running toward the lifts when you jump down head straight for the button ignoring all guys including the machine gunner once pressed hide behind the nearest pillar as the lift door will not open for 5 secounds when they do jump inside a good time here would be 1.40 to 1.44
5. Once in you will have to wait for what seems a long time but when the lift stops press the button and climb through the hatch now i am not sure about the quickest way down but my guess is dropping down and grabing the bar but that comes with alot of risk and is a pain when you miss it so some help here would be welcome
6. After the lift shaft there is a series of vents go through these as fast as possible remembering to roll on big falls also any more details or hints here would be welcome
7. After the vents you will be outside i would say that a good time here would be below 3.30 there are alot of routes to take outside but i usally chose the safest but if anyone one knows of a good fast route through then let us know my only tip here is ignor all snipers just run past them
8. When you are back inside run through the corridors untill you reach the lift now you will have to wait for the lift to open when it does get inside
9. When you get to the top run out and a cutscene will take place now heres the important part WATCH THE CUTSCENE when it ends run right and disarm the first guy then shoot the other guy on the left now pick up his gun and kill the machine gunner pick up his gun shoot the servers and if the other two guys get to close then them aswell when the servers are down drop the gun and run like crazy and with a bit of luck you mite do it

now for the most part thats a basic guide but like i mentioned any other hints or routes will be helpful for everyone inculding myself as i still have not got the achievement yet my quickest time was 6.15 and i died once and i was a bit sloppy outside lol so any questions you may have i will try to answer and i hope everyone manages to do this soon and one more thing sorry for writing a shed load
