So as it says, I've found a way to phase through the Basic lingered in chapter 1 by taking a hit so we no longer need to hold our breathe while running through them or require the offerings to distract them. This lets us return immediately through the first room after getting the second dice and paint thinner instead of going through the office again skipping an entire room and loading zone as well as the offering pickup animation. I'd maybe still use an offering the first time just because of the Lingered's spawn placement near the door we want to go through doesn't leave much space to get past and use the key easily. I did this on Switch and it appears super consistent on Switch. I was able to replicate it once on PC but it seems way more finnicky and seems to have some sort of timing to it for PC. It might just be because it was my first time playing PC so I'm not good with the controls though. I could not test on PS4. This should make getting past Lingered more consistent.
So you might be able to somewhat consistently get lingered skip from right to left on PC by alt tabbing to buffer the frames
JK this skip is outdated. Just found a way to skip all of Chapter 1. I'll be running this on the GDQ Speedruns From The Crypt Hotfix Wednesday Nov 9th and will debut it there then post a tutorial here.
