We know that most of the warriors used some kind of celestial weapons i.e. astra/shastra.

Was there any warrior who fought on his own power? I mean the power created by himself and not acquired from any god or saint. I am looking examples from Mahabharata, Ramayana or puranas.

Note: Not the wars which are fought magically through power of penance.

It was Sri Hanuman, who never used any celestial weapons.

During the encounter with Lankhini or war with demons, who attacked at the orders of Ravana or single combat with Indrajit or in the war with Ravana in final war, Sri Hanuman fought either with fist or available steel rods or mountains or trees, etc, but not with celestial weapons.
