to be honest getting these achievements is less about skill/power and more about stubbornness/tenacity/putting in the hours. you just gotta sit down and learn those bosses in the training area of godshome well enough that you can beat them then bash your head against the pantheon of hallownest until you finally get through it all. you have to accept losing five hours of progress in steel soul a couple times until you get far enough in the run that you're strong enough to not be in too much danger anymore. (also when you get to 1hp you can just save and quit to the menu and youll wake up on the last bench you were on with full hp lol)

yeah I think I could probably get preeeetty far if I put the time into it (tho I genuinely think the hardest stuff is just fundamentally beyond my skill level/reaction time), but I thought about it and decided that I just didn't have it in me to spend that kinda time on it! and gosh the steel soul stuff, if I got pretty far and failed I think I'd just give up, I don't have the determination, the chutzpah
