Vagrant Story - Spears Only Minimalist Run - Part 2: In Which Ashley Finally Gets a Spear
HP Cutoff: 4 (post-minotaur)

The Minotaur is actually somewhat tricky to beat unarmed with no item usage, but since he's right after a save point it was a simple matter of retrying until Ashley got the right criticals and the minotaur didn't. Otherwise my execution here is pretty solid.
I make this next part of the game harder on myself by forgetting I have Degenerate for the zombies.
I stop to kill Mandel because he's a unique enemy, and drops one of the game's 100% drop items, the Bronze Rapier. This could potentially be used as a raw mat later, although I don't think I have any plans for it. Still, if you don't kill Mandel the first time you see him, he never appears again.
There are a few zombies here that I skip because my damage output is too low and killing them all would make for a very painful video (as Mandel demonstrates). Because there's a Heal Panel in Mandel's room this would all be easy to do if you so inclined, though. EDIT: Again, Degenerate would have solved this.
For the most part I won't be skipping enemies throughout the rest of the run, as most of the challenge is in trying to figure out the proper way to kill every single thing, and skipping enemies would remove much of that.
