Ark early can be done in NG+17 without needing to BKT directly into the loading zone. You can BKT or jump over the invisible wall to the ruins of the ark, and climb up the mast using delayed slope KTs. Slope KT off the end of the highest horizontal yard and fall into the loading zone. The map button can be used to guide your movement. https://clips.twitch.tv/ElatedSlipperyPieTheThing-DAV8jJROiyAIwf3b
