Heya all!

As we're getting some more people fresh into submitting runs for this game I thought I'd make a quick post about a really useful timeskip for level 10 to help out any new runners getting into Die Hard 1.

I'm not yet sure of the particulars of how this works, but essentially you can skip a large majority of level 10 by performing a set of actions that result in the level ending early and saving you several minutes.

To do the skip you need to only kill the 8 terrorists at the beginning level and make sure to only kill the one hostage for the extra life, and leave the rest still standing in the level.

The route I normally use to get this consistent is:

• Kill the 3 by the elevator
• Go to the right and kill the two escorting the hostages.
• Go up the stairs and kill the guy at the top
• Head down the stairs and across the room to save the hostage for the extra life.
• Then return to the top of the stairs to kill the final enemy that appears and if all has been done correctly the bomb counter should trigger and allow you to end the level.

So far this has been tested on PAL and NTSC-J copies of the game but I've not yet been able to confirm if NTSC region copies will let you do this skip.

Good luck runners!

And remember...
