It's Binding of Isaac without items! ...Almost. The Wafer is used for later chapters and for certain bosses/floors that were too hard, I allow a trinket. Some of the early floors also pick up trinkets before I decided to ban them too. Cards are mostly allowed. Pickups like bombs and soul hearts are allowed (and later floors start with them). Goal is to clear every single room of the floor, and then fight the boss.
This series is just as much to show off the game's content as much as my own skill, so don't take it too seriously when I cheat and start with an advantage or segment up a run. Usually that just means it was too hard for me to do normally.

Silksong is here! Training for Steel Soul, I decided to record relatively clean battles vs every boss. Rules for each are simple; no tools, crests, or skills besides the default Hunter and Silkspear, no healing, and my attacks deal half damage (via mod)
Moorwing is the first boss that gave me trouble, and 90% of the reason why are the projectiles in phase 2. The trick, as it turns out, is to simply walk away after jumping over the first one. This one bit of info turned Moorwing from one of the hardest act1 bosses for me, to a very very simple matter I may regularly no-hit in real runs. You can punish the pincer projectile with an upslash, but it feels kinda wonky.")

Oh look, they made Massive Moss Charger into a real fight! Everything here does double damage and really lets the player know Silksong is upping the ante. I took my very first death of the game here, as it was this fight that I learned that taking damage in the middle of a heal removes all the silk you would have spent on the heal anyway, a rather cruel penalty for carelessly trying to recover.
Anyone struggling on this boss for whatever reason may like to know that sound cues let you know if hes about to jump or charge. If the dust appears under your feet, sidestep and prepare to jump over a bell. If the dust appears at the side of the room and you dont hear it groan, its about to emerge and charge. If you see dust at the side of the room and DO hear it groan, its about to soar overhead. Once phase 2 begins at 50% of its HP (signalled by the bells falling from the cieling for a while) all attacks except the charge will also drop a bell from above.")

Simple boss but can be a real pain in the ass if you dont think carefully about where you stand. Skills and nail arts can destroy the traps outright, use em to cut a path in a pinch.")
