Right when you start, don't let Charlotte cast Speed Up yet. Just make sure to hug the ground while avoiding the stairs by jumping.

In the room with Skeletons and Axe Armor, cast speed up while jump kicking through the room. Make sure not to touch the enemies with your kick. The kick has to be high enough or else you won't be gaining any extra distance, just make sure not to jump kick too high or else you will roll once landing. You can jump kick at least 3 times in this room. If you need the extra space to jump kick, kill the Axe Armor while running. Why jump kick? Because it's faster.

In the room with Mermen and a Golem, cast speed up while jump kicking through the room. Make sure not to touch the enemies with your kick. The kick has to be high enough or else you won't be gaining any extra distance, just make sure not to jump kick too high or else you will roll once landing. You can jump kick at least 3 times in this room. If you need the extra space to jump kick, kill the Golem while running.

In the room with Balore, cast speed up. Once you have speed up on you. Change Winged Boots to Samurai Leggings and Hercules Ring to Assassin's Cape for Jonathan. Once you reach the middle of the room, jump right into Balore and start mashing on the attack button. If done fast enough, you should be able to kill him before or right when you land on the ground. Switch Samurai Leggings back to Winged Boots and Assassin's Cape back to Hercules Ring.

In the room with Armor Knights and Great Armor, cast speed up while jump kicking through the room. Make sure not to touch the enemies with your kick. The kick has to be high enough or else you won't be gaining any extra distance, just make sure not to jump kick too high or else you will roll once landing. You can jump kick at least 3 times in this room. If you need the extra space to jump kick, kill the Great Armor while running.

In the room with the Dragon, jump kick while casting speed up. Right when you land, kill the Dragon while running and then do as many jump kicks as you can. At least 3 can be done.

In the room with Gergoth, change Winged Boots to Samurai Leggings for Jonathan and Speed Up to Ice Fang for Charlotte. Walk through Gergoth, mashing on the attack button while casting Ice Fang. If done fast enough, you should be able to kill him before you reach the door. After killing him, switch Samurai Leggings back to Winged boots and enter the opened door.

If done correctly you should have under 20 seconds.
