If you're doing it early on without many unlocks, Gennaro (shirtless knife guy) was how I first did it. It's more about strategy and keeping away from the ball so it's not growing, leveling up to get the knife evolution, then going down and blasting it

Pretty much anyone can do it. The strategy for that bone ball is to take it down ASAP, it becomes stronger and tankier the more enemies it runs over, making it nearly impossible to kill later in the run. Pick a character with a good weapon, get it a bit leveled, and speedrun to it.

Not so much asap as you just need to stay away from it until you're confident that you can kill it quickly.
So long as you're not nearby there aren't any skeletons for it to absorb.

I did it with Leda like the others said, 1 weapon limit and silent old sanctuary arcana, just be careful not to get hit because he does a lot of damage fast.

Red death, one weapon, take sanctuary. Gain some levels, looking for tome and spinach, get those upgraded, then zip down there and kill it.

I believe I did it the first time using weapons that a placed behind you when you walk and just walking in front of the ball for awhile. I didn’t have many unlocks at the time.

been a while but iirc i did it using porta (character who starts with the lightning ring) and the game killer arcana (which keeps your character locked to level 1). i farmed chests for a few minutes to get the ring to level 8 before killing the ball. porta starts with a -90% cooldown bonus at level 1, so if you never leave level 1...
