Faster route for Quelaag Skip in Least Bosses. Trigger the cutscene and FQ instead of quitting out, then follow this route. Should save 30-60 seconds all things considered.
Notes:
- The current route grabs two souls in the swamp. I ran right past one, but the other would have to be detoured for or found somewhere else, which is what determines exactly how much time this will save.
- The very left edge of the buttress is safe from death planes which is why I dropped there. You can also go around the pillar to the right, jump over the planes, then run back up along the edge, but I find this easier.
- Plunging on the left is much safer because you dont risk landing on any props.
- Take the corner before the Great Club wide so you can see the ogres.")

This one is pretty dubious. Entering to the right (but not all the way to the right) seems to give you the best chance of actually being able to see anything without triggering him. You can damage him with either bows or crossbows, but feather arrows or sniper bolts are highly recommended due to the long distance.
You could already do something similar by just shooting through a hole in the wall, but the closer range here improves damage significantly.")

I would feel bad about this if I thought there was even the slightest chance anyone would try to do it in a run.
*Timed from the lever on the elevator to the lever before the courtyard it saves about 10 seconds IGT, but:
A. You cant eat souls on the elevator, and
B. The jump is absolutely horrific and you only get one chance.
I consider it a moral victory regardless.")

Thank you HotPocketRemix for discovering this nonsense.
I wont pretend to understand exactly why this works, but apparently crossbows have a couple unused moves in their moveset which hit the user with a projectile that cures status ailments. Additionally, arrows and bolts are technically weapons with a single move, and it just so happens to correspond to the unused moves that crossbows have.
Thus, if you flex a crossbow into an ammo slot (which wasnt known to be possible until recently), then fire it out of a bow or another crossbow, youll immediately be cured of bleed, poison, toxic, and curse buildup.
Cheaper than a divine blessing, I guess?")

Free 6-7 seconds if you dont need to do anything on the way up.
Pay no attention to my incredibly optimized movement.")
