Ruin Sentinels can be skipped if you come from Flexile Sentry's route. You need Fire arrows or a Firebomb (or the Binoculars and to attune Fireball) and a Pharros Lockstone. You go to where Lucaderp is, get a bead on the explosive barrels blocking the door near her, and blow them up. Then just pick up the Antiquated Key and use it to get access to the Pharros Contraption blocking the elevator up to Straid's Cell.
