bendy and the ink machine chapter 5 boss battle

We learn more about Ink Bendy and how he was the first, failed and only attempt at bringing Bendy to life due to him being soulless. They proceed to the next area, but Henry gets separated from the two and lands in a place with a vault and a tedious stealth objective. Tom finally trusts Henry and the three fight off the Searchers and Lost Ones that attacked over Sammy's death. Sammy shows up (more insane than before) and tries to kill him but gets killed by Tom. Henry drives a boat while avoiding a giant Bendy hand trying to grab him and goes to the Lost Ones village. When Bendy shows up near their safe house, Allison and Tom leave Henry behind, but with the help of the hidden messages, Henry also escapes.

Allison gives Henry a tool that lets him see hidden messages on the walls that seem to know everything that happens and will happen (how this tool was made and where it came from is unknown). Allison Angel wants to let Henry out, but Tom doesn't trust him. So the Chapter begins with Henry in jail. I hope this makes sense and I could be 100% wrong on this but that is what has worked so far with me and I'm still currently experimenting on this theory.(TL DR at the bottom if you don't want to read all of this) I believe in order to break the boards early before collecting the hearts AND to be able to keep your gun, you may have to start Chapter 3 and then play through without leaving the game and reloading from a save later on. I was unable to break the boards until after I had collected the hearts and turned them (and the tommy gun) into Alice, and was then forced to try the fight with just an axe, which is difficult. Another time, I had started playing the chapter from a save point in which I had exited the game and reloaded it. At this time, I was able to shoot the boards off and complete the room. When I played the Chapter without saving and exiting/restarting from a checkpoint, I played up until the point you can get the Tommy Gun on the Demon Path and just before you decend into Level 14 to get the Inky hearts. I am not sure how but I believe this may affect you being able to get the planks off of the room early.

The way I accessed the room was by playing Ch 3 straight through and not saving and exiting the game.
