If you’ve not murdered the bends mobs you shouldn’t be kos to the mobs. Outside of a couple closer to the docks. The watchmen at the entrance to the bends shouldn’t be kos. It’s safe from there to the teleport pad.
Now once you’re there, there are 2 wandering patrolmen that are kos but easy to avoid(I don’t even look for them anymore really) but one of their paths they stop at the archway that leads down the stairs towards the other side. After those two pats, nothing should be KOS before you get to the West Bank, gate, etc.
also, it goes way faster once out of seethes. Like way way faster.
