The minor details about the most optimal way through any% with shrine skip we already know it's entirely just a question of source of damage we have Clubs, Drangleic Sword, BKH, Heide Lance, Demon's Great hammer or Pyro to really choose from.
Anyone been having good luck with any% with shrine skip? I've been working on it a lot and had marginally success. From what I had discovered, I'm not sure that dual clubs would be the best method for damage. Since the amount of souls being acquired is significantly lower than normal any%, you just can't get the same amount of strength and reinforcements. They haven't been very effective for me so far. Although this may not be the case for later on, that's just what I've been seeing.
