You always want to backdash whenever possible (until Slide), as this is the fastest way of moving around. Switch to slide with Salamander once you get it as this is faster.

You can cancel the damage animation with back dash:

The arrow rope sections can be completely skipped by using the bow right next to the wall, clip also works in other sections as well: https://imgur.com/gallery/xwjfpqK
