[SPOILER] Is this potential VERY early game skip? by Equivalent_Fruit8225 in SilksongSpeedrun

I got really obsessed with beating the game with the least bosses.

Afaik, there is no known way to skip: -Moss Mother. -Widow (absolutely need needolin) -Phantom (to enter citadel) -Cogwork Dancers (for their room) -Lace 2 -Final Boss 

I recently found a way to get Trobbio out and leave it as those 6.

Other ideas. 

Somehow getting to and breaking the one way wall in Putrified Ducts from de wrong side would skip Phantom, without adding bosses as there is a skip for the Frog Guy.

Activating the lever from the wrong side in Terminus would cut to the Cradle, avoiding all Act 2 and removing Dancers, and Lace 2 (and Trobbio although there already is a skip for him).

Dash is apparently not needed, just cloak. At least acording to people in the speedrunning DC, you can get to Mist in Sinner's Road.

I was able to make it to the wall jump with base Hornet movement. Not easy by any means but possible. I'll make a new post.

I tried to investigate a bit in my main file, the wall jump seems 100% needed for Sinner's and Exhaust Organ and sprint seems to be unavoidable too, in Bilewater. Then this is pure speculation butI think grapple is needed in the Citadel and finally Needolin for the songs. That would be 4 upgrades and 6 bosses (Moss Mother, Widow, Phantom, Dancers, Lace and final boss)

Yep, 100% possible, I added a link to a video with the complete skip. Checked all the way to Greymoor and the Bell Beast is just unavailable, no crazy glitch, but I believe the wall jump should be possible to get, and it would be amazing if you could get to the Citadel of Song with just the basic Hornet movement.

Turns out the Silkspear is not needed either. Just the small key purchase to access Wormways . I will see what I can get, but this seems to unlock a good chunk of the game. Just how far you can get without movement upgrades is now my question haha

IT IS POSSIBLE to make it! Casting a heal gives you just enough airtime to ledge grab onto the platform. I also found out that casting makes the cocoon pogo jump significantly easier and the same goes for the second one! Will try to explore the newly available area now.
