Valheim hitless run

Has anyone attempted a Valheim hitless run before? The goal would be to defeat all bosses without getting hit. Taking most from Team Hitless, here is a draft of the rules:

  • Start with a new character and a new world with an unknown seed. Looking up the world map online is not allowed. Single player only. The character cannot bring anything from a different world.
  • A hit is defined by a loss of health and/or stagger caused by an enemy
  • Any stagger counts as a hit (even after a successful parry)
  • A hit includes attacks from enemies that cause status effects (Bee sting, Blob poison cloud, Bonemass vomit cloud, Yagluth fire aura)
  • Environmental damage (falling, trees, campfire, freezing) does not count as a hit, even if indirectly caused by an enemy (e.g. falling tree that a troll chopped down)
  • Blocking an enemy counts as a hit, but a perfect parry does not, even when some damage clips through the parry but doesn't cause a stagger, or if a status effect is triggered by the parry (e.g. successfully pairing a Fuling torch attack and getting the Burning debuff is ok)
  • A death count as a hit, regardless of how one dies
  • Glitches are not allowed
  • Quitouts are not allowed. No logoffs to reset agro, remove debuffs or restore stamina. Quitting is allowed only when safe at base (no nearby enemies and no events occurring).
  • No mods
  • No dev commands or cheats
  • The challenge is successful when all boss trophies are placed at the starting altar
  • (this is likely going to be the most contentions and subjective rule) No AI manipulations that would trivialize a fight (e.g. hiding under a hole for the Yagluth's fight while hitting his underbelly, digging an impassable moat around the Elder and safely shooting arrows from a safe distance, building an unreachable tree-house and shooting arrows at Bonemass where he can't hit you, etc.). Basically no cheese. The idea is to play the game as a normal player would, just perfectly 🙂

This is meant to be very hard, a true display of skills, dedication, commitment, and some luck for sure :).

Anyone think this is possible? Any feedback on the rules?
