===============================================================================
The ruleset is simple:

- No damage taken
- No charms
- No spells
- No nail arts
- No nail upgrades

(Basically I am only allowed to use old nail's regular attacks to deal damage and I am not allowed to take damage)

Now when it comes to mobility I use, I try to use as little mobility for each boss as possible while keeping progression as casual as possible. What this means is I'm avoiding to perform some skips in order to keep progression and thus bossfights as casual as possible but I won't overcommit on mobility either (for example I won't use shade cloak unless boss specifically requires you to have it, or I won't use monarch wings for bossfights that don't require them or that don't intend you to have them in order to have advantage).

So basically I'm using as little mobility as possible without performing skips to have less mobility than I should at that point of the game.

The only exception I made is with brooding mawlek since you only need to pogo spikes to get to him which I don't consider too crazy, but also because I feel like mawlek with dash and/or claw is a bit too easy since he's not very agile or fast in particular.

Other than that I avoided using skips and just progressed "as intended"

What I consider to be boss? Any opponent that has his name written on the screen would be considered a boss for me, so in case anyone asks stuff like "why is there not vengefly king, oblobbles etc." that's why.

What was the hardest fight in this challenge for me?

Grey Prince Zote.
Guy has so much randomness within his attacks and can sometimes put you in straight up unavoidable situation unless you have i-frames which I didn't. Unless you spent quite a bit of time on fighting him, you can almost never tell where or even when will he do which attack and that can really mess you up if you aren't careful enough. What makes matter even worse is that not only is he strong on his own, but also he can spam bunch of frog and bat minions which you need to hit 4 times to kill and he can have up to 3 minions on screen at a time. Oh, there is also one bug with him where if you punish one of his attacks in specific way and he staggers, he will hit you even though his body never touches your body... Overall I hate that guy.

What was the most enjoyable fight in this challenge for me?

Nightmare King Grimm.
Fighting him feels good once you learn his attack patterns and it genuinely feels like I'm dancing with the boss. He is considered to be one of the hardest bosses in the game but I feel like he's not that hard once you learn his moveset. His quick moves and flaming attacks feel enjoyable to avoid and punish and his boss music is really good. Overall I really like that fight.



I hope you enjoyed the video, and once again, have a great day!
