After you killed the wyrm and got the shadow flip brand, go directly to the right from the sanctuary in the red hall to access the dome of the forgotten. If you killed the cyclop you can bypass the false jester using the key dropped by the cyclop by taking the door below the boss area.
Again, no need to take down the alchemist, just go to the bottom right of the woods and leap to go fight the cyclop. When you're in the village of smiles you don't need to kill the queen, just gor right from the sanctuary to acces the watching woods. You can actually bypass some areas whithout even using glitches.
