This is a (partial) remake of an older video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=virqpiBTF0A).

Here is the Kaku Building route on Normal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ygMD3qI9lI).

For the most part, the Killer8 Kaku Building is mostly the same as it was, the biggest difference being the death warp at the end (which has been a staple of the Normal route for a while, anyway).

Floor 1 (0:00):
Kill everyone as Young Harman (except for tanking the Poison). Unlike Normal, you do not want to trigger the Another Smile early, as it would hit you at the same time as the Poison. In this recording, I walked a bit too close to the panel; you can stop earlier to turn into Coyote and hit the junction earlier. You can kill both the Another and the last Smile together by walking far enough to trigger the latter, but if you prefer to be safe, just delay the trigger.

Floor 3 (1:41)
Young Harman is the only character who can reliably kill the Camellia; for the record, remaining Young Harman while walking up the stairs is faster than swapping to Kevin. When running to the horse race as invisible Kevin, you do not want to hit the instant enter, as there's a chance you'll get hit afterward due to the position of the Poison. Admittedly, you do barely have enough time to go invisible if you get the instant enter in most cases, but it's better not to risk it.

Floor 2 (3:21):
Easy floor with the vintage strat: go invisible as Kevin for the entire room. The junctions are down-right (for the puzzle) and right (for the Soul Shell).

Floor 4 (4:10):
Due to the five blood vial cap, you need to kill the Camellia to get enough blood for the rest of the chapter. My core strategy still works like a charm: "fake kill" the first Poison, press Up on the D-Pad to lock-on to the Camellia, and shoot it. That said, you need to be careful to not accidentally hit the Camellia while shooting the Poison. If the Camellia winds up exploding, you can still salvage the run by causing Phantoms to spawn for their blood (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13oEWLl-W-g).

Backside Smile to the end (5:21):
The rest of the level is the same as Normal with the death warp. Because Coyote dies the fastest, he is still the best sacrifice for the death warp. Unlike my Normal video, I remembered to equip the Wind Ring to enter the boss fight here.
