Final Sum of Best Segments: 1:44:12
I cleaned up the Sum of Best, removing the Sorcerer and Pyromancer segments that were very different than the melee routes, so other than the Large Ember segment, this is pretty representative. The Large Ember segment could be a few minutes faster for sure, especially with the discovery of the Capra AI skip. The other less consistent Capra Skip would also make it much faster. So final estimate is something like 1:37:xx or thereabouts if everything went perfectly. The route is definitely not optimal though.

A more optimal route would (at least) kill the Undead Burg Black Knights on the first time through to avoid having to go back there, and probably stop at +13 instead of +14 by killing on 1 of the Giants in Sen's (the Firebomb one), and getting only 1 Chunk from New Londo Ruins (the one in the chest) after getting the Very Large Ember, and maybe even kill 4 Kings with only a +10 to avoid the trip back up to Andre, though it's not that slow since Seal Skip with the water lowered is very easy. I'm sure I'll try an updated route at some point without the restrictions, which would of course be faster than the restricted version I was doing. All in all a fun series, and I may revisit some of these in the future!
