A different continuation of the deepnest wrong warp based on Staxis' idea to use the load warp as a more consistent alternative to the rng loadzone involved in the original version of the ww. By chaining the load warp into a second one you can then do a quick oob to merge with the normal dupe route and save ~6s. However since this strat means skipping the room where you would normally collect soul it means you enter den with 1hp and only 2 casts of soul so you lose time to needing to wait for the devout to open twice and to extra soul collection as you exit den. Still comes out to ~2s saved in total over the original WW strat while being less risky (less chance of rng screwing you and less consequences for bad rng).
There is unfortunately still rng as the trick requires performing the wrong warp facing left which means you can land directly on a spider as the room loads. If that happens there is a backup but you can no longer perform the chained load warp and you'll have to heal before continuing the dupe meaning a large chunk of timeloss (though still slightly faster than not doing the ww at all)
slightly (maybe more than slightly) cursed way to skip the first devout, complete with lineup The devout also may not open right away, do not hit it, it needs to open into you, and if it backs up, just do the regular up and over. If you have trouble getting the line-up (which is really tight) you can get as close as you can and dash into the devout as soon as it opens, this requires very good reaction time, but is a good backup.
To make up the geo get the bottom level in the room above king's station. This requires good RNG. If you don't get a good line-up, it's better to skip it (this is the fastest way i know how to cover the geo). If you end up skipping the geo, just kill the devout for the geo.
same strat without dashmaster. just hold direction and dash, the cooldown should line up on anything but absolute worst-case backing up rng, in that case it still dboosts you towards the dreamer in all my attempts. never actaully timed this, but not having to wait eliminates 99.9% of possible devout rng, compared to having to wait for the cooldown. https://clips.twitch.tv/SuspiciousHelplessStarlingPJSalt-Pd816xD1HMewW3f7
transdash into neutral dashes to refresh your shade cloak right before dashing through the devout. In my timings saves 0.2 vs getting good rng via just doing a regular movement and waiting in front of the devout for the refresh
