This is the first of four new sequence break skips for the Silent Hill Homecoming NG (and NG+) All Bosses speedrun categories. This skip takes place in the hotel level, and allows you to immediately go to the Sepulcher boss fight through an opening in the Atrium lobby wall. I explain how to do this skip in the video, and more information is also below in the description.

Skip #1 of 4: Hotel First Floor
Difficulty: 2/10 (after some practice)
Time Saved: Between 2-3 minutes
------------------------------
A.) The Skip:
Go to the Atrium lobby's wall on the first floor. The only area of the wall that is easy to skip through is the section to the left of the second pillar from the right of the double doors (it's in the thumbnail hope you can see it).
Get the gun clipped into the wall, and when it starts pulling you in, move the gun down and to the right. This will help Alex to slip into the wall about halfway (look for the right shoulder to mostly disappear). Once Alex is halfway in the wall, rotate the gun until it's parallel (or close to parallel) with the wall in the opposite direction, while at the same time holding right on the control stick. These movements will make it so that the gun is pushing Alex away from the wall and into the unloaded Atrium lobby.
Once inside the lobby, make your way to the save point, save, and the load that save. This will properly load the room and, more importantly, the prompt to open the doors leading to the Sepulcher fight.
------------------------------
B.) What this Skips:
-Getting the maintenance key
-Going back out to solve the wire puzzle
-The entire elevator sequence
-The clip into Josh's room
------------------------------
This skip saves anywhere from 2 to almost 3 minutes. For example: if you're getting a run average of 1 hour flat, you can expect to drop your personal record down to 58 minutes.
At the end of the video is a time comparison of what you could expect your new runs to look like vs your old ones.
