spookycookies | Silent Hill Homecoming NG/NG+ All Bosses Speedrun: Town Hall Skip (2018) @spookycookies19 | Uploaded July 2018 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
This is the third of four new sequence break skips for the Silent Hill Homecoming NG (and NG+) All Bosses speedrun categories. This skip takes place in the Town Hall location, and allows you to skip the Ceremonial Dagger cutscene and most of the tunnels. I explain how to do this skip in the video, and more information is also below in the description.

Skip #3 of 4: Town Hall Cutscene Skip
Difficulty: 1/10 (after some practice)
Time Saved: Around 1:30 to 2 minutes
------------------------------
A.) The Skip:
Once inside the Town Hall, immediately turn right and clip through the windowed wall. This initial clip is easy, as the wall is thin and offers very little resistance.
Alex will fall on top of the tunnels underneath the building. There's a pretty large area of collison you can explore down here, and it's not confined to the visible tunnels below Alex. However you need to get down into the tunnels.
Run down the long hallway until Alex seems to drop a bit onto another lower plane of collison. At this point turn right to face the dead end and either gun-walk or knife-walk off the collision and fall into the tunnel. Then proceed to the exit.
Alex will of course get the ceremonial dagger upon returning to the cemetary. Skipping the cutscene doesn't change anything.
------------------------------
B.) What this Skips:
-Opening the trap door
-Going to the dagger room
-The unskippable dagger cutscene
-Most of the tunnels leading to the surface
------------------------------
This skip saves roughly 1:30 to 2 minutes.
If you did this skip along with both of the Hotel skips, you can expect to save almost 5 minutes, maybe more?
For example, if you're getting a run average of 1 hour flat, you can expect to drop your personal record down to around 55 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.
------------------------------
Etc:
The time comparison footage I used had some minor mistakes in it. I would guess around 10-15 seconds of UFOtekkie's time was wasted between getting turned around and other minor stuff.
Also there's a way to skip just opening the trap door. You can run straight back to Holloway's office and clip through the rear wall (behind her chair) and you'll land inside the dagger room, saving a few seconds over opening the trap door (if the office wall clip is fast).
All of this is why I'm ballparking the time saved between 1:30 and 2 minutes.
