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)
I am not exactly sure if my half damage mod works here, I dont think this is really an entity with HP so much as a very complex environmental object to take down. I wish you could reach this boss without double jump, as the ability makes it pretty trivial.")

I love this boss a lot, but its kinda easy. Its mostly about the spectacle and music really, which they match very well. Phase 3 is a lot harder, but it also doesnt last tooo long, especially with standard damage.")

Lace is probably my favorite fight in act 1, with only 2 others competing. She has 3 main attacks plus a counter; a double slash, a lunge, and a leap that then comes back down with a thrust. At 50% HP, she also gains a move that hits a wide area. Worth noting that she sometimes does a little fencers flourish at the end of a move, and that can block your strikes or even hit you if you arent careful.
Its cliche to call fights like this a dance but this is a dance you can also kick your partner off into the lava for extra damage (roughly 40 or so, of her 250 HP) so I dont even mind doing it this one time.")

Very easy boss, but quite the spectacle. His hand swipes are easy enough to dodge and all can be punished with a silkspear if you happen to be far away. Finishing him off with the explosive rock isnt explicitly necessary, but hes got quite a bit of health to take off the old fashioned way with no real change in pattern so may as well do the cool scripted thing.")

Not a super complex boss, really. He doesnt do a whole lot if youre very far away, and has trouble tracking you if you keep jumping over his head. I got this in like the second try or such.")
