¤edit¤ This trick is outdated. Find the shorter strat in "They Hunger Episode 2 Speedrun Tutorial".

It was developed by Bloodvez as you can see in "They Hunger Episode 2: Underground section skip (save warp)".

For the mechanics, this trick will stay in the Guide Section. ¤edit¤

This trick skips Albert's cutscene monologue in Episode 2 completely.

• you activate the audio recording in the small office and you lower fps (and keep them low throughout) so Albert moves faster into the scene
• once he reaches his cutscene trigger (look in vod and with bxt_show_triggers 1 ingame), you immediately push him back one time to gain a little time
• as soon as he says "everybody else seems to be out of their mind", you can talk to him (+use) when he says "to be"
• you immediately start running to the secret cellar door and position yourself in the corner opposite to the door
• once he reaches the corner, you quickly get behind him and push him to the door panel two times, so that he reaches the door panel trigger
• use the panel to open the door yourself
