Stuck in the concrete demolition - help..

Hello!
My partner and I have spent two days tearing down a couple of walls in our home. Now we're stuck. The thing is, the last piece we need to remove belongs to a wall that continues into our hallway, and the concrete blocks are overlapping. On the other side of this wall, we have a tiled bathroom. We're worried that the demolition machine is sending a bit too much vibration through the walls and that the tiles or grout will crack because of this. How can we best cut off the last piece of the wall? The wall consists of plaster and concrete blocks. The wall is about 15 cm thick.
Hoping for quick answers as I’m sitting here in my dusty apartment wanting to finish this mess...

Saw with a reciprocating saw with the intended blade!
If it's lättbetong, a regular handsaw works fine, but this one will die then.
Otherwise, an angle grinder can probably work, but it will create a lot of dust.

Thank you! So it won't vibrate in the wall that much then?

Thanks for the quick response. Now the wall is down and the apartment will be dusty for a long time to come ;o)
