Hey guys,

Ok, this makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the info!

Hi!
I am new extremely new to speedrunning and wanted to learn this game as one of the first games to run. I am currently playing the PC version and for now I am messing around with mechanics, when I stumbled upon this hidden breakable block. I looked it up and couldnt find it mentioned anywhere so I was wondering if anyone else noticed it and/or if this in any way is helpful in runs... I know I am not the first one to find this (cant be :P) just questioning its usefulness.

The block leads to a shortcut passage effectively skipping all of the right side of the sewers. Here are pictures:

End of shortcut:

This does not help much with Flesh pops gathering though so maybe its slower?
