I decided to open sen normally (2 bells), instead of using the parry deathcam skip, because you have to kill quelaag eventually anyway. and I didn't use the duke's archive skip because I thought I might want/use logan's catalysts (I didn't need them). so there's lots of ways to cut time out of this route. worksheet (script, notes, etc) is at https://bit.ly/hex-ds1
