The fight cancel trick was originally found by Soak_n_fused.
Run into the Hearteater and press Start the moment you touch it. After a few seconds, you can unpause and the fight will be skipped.
You will then have control as long as the screen is black, which allows you to perform another timesaver. Just before the post-boss cutscene starts, open the travel log. If you time it just right (you can use Sagi's footsteps as a cue), it will stay open during the cutscene. Close it to obtain Laevateinn right away and gain control.
After getting the heartenbrace, you should clear the last text box upon walking into the loading zone. This prevents a glitch that would leave you stuck over the pond. Alternatively, if you see the screen starting to fade out in the pond area, just go back to the Hearteater area immediately to avoid the softlock.
Note that the Hearteater won't disappear if you escaped from the last battle in your file. If this happens to you, you'll have to wait for the rain and come back: youtube.com/watch?v=kTqByktaEKg
