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 thought this would be way worse than it was. I was fearing I'd have to lift a rule to make this reasonable, turns out primarily melee works just fine and silkspear is actually very capable here.

Barely-a-boss. It has very low health and only 1 attack. If this gives you trouble this deep into the game, I dont know what to tell you.")

Skipped the waves of enemies that come before (and definitely healed up during that portion) because the boss is hard enough and the runback is terrible, even with the hidden bench. Good fight though, shame about the more frustrating elements surrounding it. Nail arts can be done as he emerges, dont be too aggressive otherwise.")
