Pretty sure this kill is faster and more versatile than the other kills that've been posted in the past. 2nd clip is what you're aiming for, but there's plenty of ways to handle it if you don't get all the nails. My best with this is about .4 faster than what I got doing other strats. The damage rotation is by @鴨子哥🦆 , or at least that's who I saw do it

slightly faster variation of the kill above and some backups if you dont get the last nail hit of the first cycle. also just good examples of how you can wait out his shield instead of hitting it

Fast way to kill GHS, need at least 7 soul entering the room, if the rava on the middle row dies to fireball do 3 dashes instead of 2

Doing a pogo before the gate delays the wall cling from letting go of jump, making this wcs super lenient and forgiving. Just don't touch the ceiling and you'll win. You can buffer the 2nd dash, it'll always go right

the wcs was like 0.3-0.4, i saw strat going for it, not sure who else is

the pogo isn't really good on any other wcs that im aware of, as this is the only one where a ceiling punishes you height wise and you need lots of distance

Visual cue for jumping up to the platform in the lever skip dark room. While walking right, wait a small moment after the edge of the darkness goes offscreen, then jump.

If you prefer, you can also look for when the bottom left of the screen is about to go completely dark.

potential free extra soul on the way to rafters by upslashing this GHS through the floor. no/minimal timeloss if you miss it. all RNGs on the enemy beforehand should work

Gate wallcling storage after lever skip. Saves about 0.3. There's a backup in case you fail the wcs, which loses about 0.3 to the normal strat. Normal strat is for comparison.

Been talked about a lot in streams but never timed so here, doing the lever skip is roughly 3.5s over doing lever optimally. You do this by doing a mini boob at the bench room, fluke so you can wings again, and then walljump, wings and (optionally but preferably in my experience) dash in the wall to the left before you walljump up to the transition above. Dash slash on elevator was tested and didn't seem to save any time. Retrying the boob into walljump wings is ~2s so if you can do it within two tries it's still good.

A nice way to deal with this husk if its in this position. You'll get hit if you don't do the first slash and it goes towards you, so recommend for consistency; the second slash is just for soul (Loses 0.12). Its especially nice for all skills or rafters any% cause you have much less soul going into the room

Movement for new geo route based on enemy position, fastest I could find. Multiple options may break even for the left walk pattern.

husk sentry quick kill
this is the quick kill for when ghs do 2 slashes to the left, when I dash above him i try to do the pogo on top of his head for some reason works to avoid parrying, notice that i wait a bit when i touch the floor to get the consistent 2 slashes to the right

husk sentry quick kill
There are 3 different RNGs(as far as I know) that ghk can give you with this setup. This is the quick kill(the fastest is if you avoid all the parrys) for GHS when he holds the shield up and then do an upslash

best and consistent movement I found for this room, the first jump is a full jump, the guide for when to dash is the background object, this movement allows you to heal once on the elevator before.

left side climb here saves around .4

Safe/beginner spire lever skip, using dash slash, which lights up the dark room (for All Skills). Initially posted/discussed here: https://discord.com/channels/283467363729408000/414293858667462656/816046673406459984
