Hi! I see that it can be confusing. From memory, here's what you need to know:
40 KC is required to enter GWD1, this cannot be stored*. You can, however, skip the KC with a totem of intimidation, as you observed. This applies to every boss except for Nex.
To skip Nex's KC in GWD1, you need an ancient ceremonial robe outfit. There is a bank after you get past the KC area, so you can desposit the robes and regear with no inventory space lost. You can also pay 10m, a frozen key, and use a set of ancient ceremonial robes (will not be returned) to 'always' have the door open - no frozen key OR KC required.
For protection in GWD1, you can use the shard of zaros, or one item of each of the 'main' 4 gods in teh main area. For the ancient dungeon part, before nex, you can use a shard of zaros for aggression negatoin.
I don't know of any items that can be used to skip GWD2 KC. However, a neat thing about GWD2 (heart of geilinor) is that it will store your KC between trips - if you kill 120 minions and then boss, you will have 80 left for next time(s). The number of kills 'spent' on entering the boss room can be reduced - to 20 instead of 40 - with reputation system. you will have to earn this reputation with each faction - it does not count for all at once.
Shard of maw negates aggression in GWD2, I'm not quite sure what else does. Either way, last time i was there, it seemed as if only one monster attacks you at once. Which may be handy.
SHard of eberus negates aggression in Elder God Wars. WRT to kill count; good news! you *dont* need KC in elder god wars.
Sorry for the rambles. LMK if anything is unclear.
*(except for by killing a boss with a soulstone, but that is not terribly relevant with the totem)
