General tricks I know

*It is possible to get the dark soul up the bloodfall in the middle of Marrow Gates right away with some glitch jumps but it’s very tricky and takes some time to setup.

*In wasteland up in the area with the moving platform it is possible to skip activating the windmill and side jump to the right wall to reach the dark soul on the small platform across the bloodpool but it’s extremely precise. This is mostly worth it on the 15 souls route otherwise you get the dark soul up the windmill anyway near the switch for the platform.

*In wasteland there is a darksoul that you can get to after activating a rope with a switch located down under the entrance bridge of the temple of life. It's possible to skip the whole rope activating and stand on the little bridge where the rope would be and left sidejump onto the left wall precisely and via the wall sidejump across the gap to the area where the dark soul is. This is pretty much only useful in a 15 soul run.

*It is possible to get all 11 dark souls in Cageways already first visit with a super hard pixel perfect jump across the lava using one of the pipes to skip the need for the marcher gad. This is useful for anyone trying this run segmented because it allows for Temple of Prophecy right before Temple of Life. Lava roll may make this very easy but haven’t tried.

*The benefit of going to the temple of prophecy before the Playrooms is obtaining the marcher gad as soon as possible. It basically only benefits not having to warp back to the playrooms again later once the gad is obtained saving perhaps only very minimal time. If you would get the Cageways Dark Souls early however, you can get the marcher gads before visiting the Temple of Life making that segment much faster. You can also collect the marcher only dark souls and enseigne for no backtracking here! It sucks that you would need the baton for 1 dark soul in the temple of prophecy so it would perhaps be wise to pick it up on the first visit to Wasteland then.

*One of the marcher gad only dark souls in the temple of life you can reach with a well-timed jump over the lava

Thing to change for sure in the 15 souls route:
Major new thing for the 15 souls route with the lavaroll would be the go to the Asylum Gateway and take the right route across the lava with some lavarolls for 4 easy and quick dark souls and skip the 4 most out of the way ones of the old route.

Do collect the Asson by dropping from the tent above in the Wasteland and use it on Legion to speed up the fight a little bit.

First, I would like to point out that, the framerate has an affect on your trick. You may have to change to camera angle to the right or left depending on the graphics mode you are playing the game in.

When you are in the Engine block room, you have to run all the way to the end on the right.

To to the skip you have to hold A and R at the same time and then strafe to the left.

Then you must jump get on top. You need a good angle to do this.

I hope my explanation makes sense, good luck!
