This cool-ass boss released a while back, and I didn't even record it. Better late than never, so here is a victory with AB on.

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)
Simple fight once you realize the best time to attack is after she lunges at you. Gruz mother callback is also pretty neat, I guess.")

I love the vibe of this one, big ceiling bosses have always had a softspot with me. Ads are annoying, but only because of my half-damage mod, under normal circumstances you can simply wipe them before they doubleteam you with the boss, but even then she can squish them with her slams.")

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.")
