General Advice

This stage is not very hard to do in a speedrun with Alucard as your partner, but it can be very stressful to try to get the second damage boost off of the Axe Armor's axe consistently, especially if you try to do it as fast as possible. Also, it's much easier to kill Death with Trevor but doing so with Alucard saves more time overall since you save about 4 seconds total. His fight is slower than Trevor's but you do 2 less character switches (which would cost you 4.6 seconds each time).

Full level playthrough

  • This assumes you get a low axe from the axe armor in 8-02 first try; your run may be slower if you're not lucky.
  • The second form of Death can be killed slightly faster than this.

Strategies

8-02 Axe Armor

If he throws a low axe, then you can clip through the ceiling like so. Otherwise, it'll be too high for you to jump into.

8-03 Boss Fight

  • Kill the Grim Reaper.
  • (todo) Trevor:
