Nifty little setup for getting 2 hits on the big enemy before GHusk regardless of which pattern you get. After entering the room, wait for the knight to pass the doorframe, jump and pogo, then buffer a dash out of your pogo. This will get you just enough height to get over any small enemies that may be in front of you. Buffer two more pogos out of the dash, and if the big enemy is to the left (first clip) both pogos should hit and you can dash through normally. If the enemy is to the right (second clip), you can do a turnaround slash as you normally would.
Both of these are the same speed as the normal strat for their respective patterns, but getting two hits on the big enemy ensures that it dies to the fireball you shoot when exiting. This should work for any enemy pattern since you can pogo off the decorations in the back if there are no enemies, so you can just autopilot up until deciding whether to turnaround slash.
If you have at least 6 soul going into this room you can do a fireball stall over the water. This on its own should be faster (the exact timesave depends on the movement prior in the room, but it should be the same as the All Skills dash slash which they do every time) This loses about 0.1s to normal movement if you turnaround fireball and about 0.25s if you fireball forward, but if you fireball forward you can also kill one or both of the enemies and collect their geo. Especially useful if you're doing pacifist mantis pogo since you're usually down around 10 geo compared to other strats.
This was found by JaGOAT (as many cool strats are), but I'm posting on his behalf since he isn't really active here.
A nice pogo strat for this room, to be able to hit the husk like this. This only works if you pogo the first husk and the other husks goes left. It saves 0.14 to going over and you can't just jump from the platform if you pogo the first husk without going neutral for a bit so it saves time there (Although I haven't timed it).
