Skip The Battle With Hoodoo

During the battle with Hoodoo in his casino, you will notice that he is on the balcony upstairs. By making your way up to the second level, you will find a second set of stairs that should have red wallpaper on the walls leading up to the third floor. Climb these stairs to the very top where Hoodoo's office is. This should skip the battle and immediately let you finish him off.
