Timesave:

- 7-8s in Asylum
- 13s at SKAS
- 0.5s faster Four Kings fight
- 3s faster BTS due to airroll
- 1s faster RWS
- 2s faster Oolacile Township drop
- 1.5s faster elevator drop after Chained Prisoner
- Whatever DGFGS saves (XX minus 46s) XX = Ringing bells and one less trip to LV and one less rest in the lategame + no dupe after Four Kings
	=> Ringing bells = ~39-40s
	=> No LV trip = ~14.5s
	=> One less rest: ~5s
	=> No bone dupe after Four Kings: ~3.5s

	=> Should save like 17s?

=> 46.5s timesave seems like a good estimate

=> with timeloss like 24-25s ish total timesave

Timeloss:

- 5.8s leveling up in Firelink
- 6.3s getting soul in burg + popping it
- 1.9s throwing firebomb at hollow
- 0.5-1s slower Taurus compared to shortsword
- 3s one more GHSA at butterfly
- 1s gwyndolin soul pop at Sif gate
- 0.5s Extra moveswap right before Broken Pendant Golem
- 2-3s to pull NLR elevator lever instead of sending it back up on way to four kings

=> 21-22ish seconds timeloss

Misc.:

- Undead Burg routing ends up being pretty much exactly equal in terms of time
- LUB skip: https://streamable.com/nvvuq
- Airroll equips for 12 end: pyro set + drakesword
- Airroll equips for 22 end: pyro set + drakesword + shortbow + sorcerer's catalyst
