not an expert but here is what helped me get started. (I havent submitted my run yet, but I went from 3hours down to under 50min following these)
https://soulsspeedruns.com/ has everything you need. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N34-ES_EQQ9-4VDm5h6NxBKtv3TdgB6q-R6Swf6engs/edit?gid=1464211807#gid=1464211807 a sheet of all bugs, skips, glitches and how to do them. Here is a nice video or u can just youtube a walkthrough, and the bottom one is a playlist of all the glitches you can do. Keep in mind each run has diffrent rules, so go with the ones for your run.

We have decided to add SL1 Any% Glitchless and SL1 AB Glitchless as subcategories for the SL1 leaderboard.
This means that you can submit Soul Level 1 glitchless speedruns to the leaderboard under the Soul Level 1 category
