Fastest way to get to NG+7?

[76561199392198891]

What is currently the fastest way to get to NG+7? Pointers to glitches, exploits and skips are highly welcomed. :)

My current route is doing the leyndell elevator skip and then going basically the vanilla game route.

Is there a way to skip (large) portions of the mountaintops and Farum Azula?
I don't mind the bosses, but the legwork is getting somewhat tired.

Thanks in advance. :)

You can, if you time it just right, skip from Liurnia straight into Farum Azula proper.

Go to the Great Belfry, enter the Farum Azula warpgate, then fast-travel to Roundtable Hold.
Alt+F4 right as the loading screen ends, and if you timed it correctly, you will re-enter the game in the same location where you would normally enter from the Giants' Forge.
From there you can just walk through Farum Azula as usual.
(This might be easier if your games' loading times are very long, mine certainly are.)

I do not know if this actually enables you to beat the game quickly, but it is definitely a nifty little trick that allows you to play the whole game with some late-game gear that you otherwise may not be able to enjoy properly.

Hope it proves to be of assistance. Have fun!

Thanks a lot. :)
I totally forgot that wrong warping (I think it is called like that) is a thing.
IMO this should prove to be a godsend timesaver.
Thanks again. :D
