Grand archives early

[Krampus]

Is there any way in there before killing the lords of ash?
Any legal way i mean. Shortcuts, jumps etc

afaik as i know no, otherwise any speedrunner would use that, only option would be via cheatign i guess

[Tao314zdin]

I do not think so. You want to kill the princes early?

[Krampus]

i wanted to skip the lords so i can blast through to NG +7 in a couple hours xD

Firekeeper would not teleport you untill all lord aches are on place though...

You can kill a woman who gives you a small lothric banner and then Dancer will appear.

Yeah already did that but the problem is, the grand archives door is closed until you kill the 3 lesser lords

[Someone]

No I dont think so but you couldnt go past the dancer and the dragon armor anyway on low level

Gothard doesn't show up there until you beat all 3 lords of cinder before twin princes. I've tried sequence breaking the game before, and no matter what you do you're always summoned after beating the third lord. That's the requirement for the archive key to show up.

No, you need to finish Gotthard's questline first. You can enter the Archives when he gets thrown off the roof.
