Read the first video comment's to know my only gripe with the game and my also gripes with speedrunning the game.

On this chapter you have to play two levels, the first has a chase and some combat, the second is mostly combat and a melee sequence.

On the first level there is one mistake I didn't sprint while crouching, which is possible. During the first shooting you can climb the wires there but you get killed immediately by the game. To not die you must wait for the second water "explosion" and until the water has already fallen to the ground then you can proceed.

For the second room you must wait for the column to open the way, you can trigger the explosion by running behind its cover and shooting at the fuel but the column will not be damaged, then you will have to wait for what I felt was longer than usual for the column to suddenly start falling. It was similar here, I even waited for the normal sequence and still the column didn't start falling until later, but this wait was way shorter than the wait if you rush it.

On the second level you start in cover which is annoying but you just have to backstep to get out of it, then I run past everyone and take the lower route, remember to reload here.

On the next fight, the doors won't open until you kill one of the enemies of the second wave, and the door opening won't start until some time, so I time it at killing the second guy on the second wave. The first wave has four guys, one each side and two on the balcony. The second has the first guy appearing from the right on the roofs and the second behind the hanging pants.

Once the door opens FORGET to sprint or you'll run into someone, reload instead, you really need to reload. Kill the two guys inside the building when you run into there because later there will be a cutscene but you can still get shot at during it.

I switched to the PP9 but noticed I hadn't reloaded it so I kept playing with the Mantis. Kill the guy on the roofs after the cutscene because after you climb he'll be shooting at you at point blank and as such won't miss a single shot and kill you before you get control back.

After this you could always run straight for the bell tower but  the game will kill you, first you must shoot the bell down before proceeding into the next roof, and then you must get close to the bell, but not too close so that it drops and doesn't kill you with its "splash" damage. I noticed that standing behind the stairs is close to the route and also safe, if you climb the stairs you are dead.

After this comes the melee sequence which I'd like to do faster but its hard to calculate how much to move the mouse, I just apply a constant pressure in the direction of the next hit that wont get me out of the mouse pad and when the marker shows up apply full speed.
