Ported up at 59:25 into the run.

5th Floor:
Widescan clean, no Madame.
Slingshot sacked with 2 monks to the chariot. Aggro'd chariot. Opened porter door.
Widescan clean, no Madame.
Rest of ally came (mostly ^^) to the portal room.
Engaged Archaic Chariot inside of the Portal Room, and got every gear from the big room on us within 60 seconds.
We were no where near any of the gears in that large room for there to be any type of ordinary link.
Also, the Chariot aggro'd either sound or low HP after raising while it was facing away.
Widescan clean, no Madame.
Ported up at 1:25 into the run.
No enemies killed on 5th floor.
Total Enemies Killed: 51 (est. depending on Froggy count)
6th Floor
Widescan clean, no madame up. Just 2 ramparts and a chariot.
Killed eastern rampart, no reinforcement, no drops, widescan clean.
Killed western rampart, no reinforcement, no drops, widescan clean.
Engaged Archaic Chariot, widescan clean.
Left at time out. 1:40.
Conclusion:
Since this run met all of Divisortheory's Conditions A-C posting, I can confirm that none of us have even the faintest fricking idea how to pop 5th and 6th floor madames consistently.![]()
Since we entered 4th floor south at 27 minutes into the run, I can confirm 100% that the "40-45 minutes" guideline for 4FS Madame is not 100% accurate.
It should never take a thief 6 minutes to figure out which way is west, and that he needed to port us up to the 4th floor 3-4 minutes before he did.
Popping all chests did not seem to affect 5th 6th.
Multiple of 5 mamools is not a factor, or at very least, is not the only factor. Or, the mamools on the 1st and 2nd floor are not included in the "multiple of 5" scenario.
Every mamool was pulled on 3rd and 4th floor with ranged, and only 1 linked. None aggro'd an alliance member.
