I guess you didn't get the dream dialogue from Grimm after your first battle, which is reasonable, he disappears afterwards instantly. It says: "Masterful! Even a vessel discarded bears fierce strength. Fine craft dear Wyrm, and perfect tool to prolong the heart of Grimm" I absolutely love this one, it just builds more connections between characters in this world. There is so much hidden dream dialogue in the game that you would have to specifically hunt for and even dreamnail everything that looks remotely like a corpse, and sometimes you have to do that in the middle of a boss battle
You could also already realise that, since I guess you are finishing Godhome content, but whenever Grimm is doing the "pufferfish" attack in the middle of his arena in both battles, it means that he lost another 25% of his health. So that is basically his healthbar so to say
so NKG (nightmare king grimm) is the fight that transitioned me from a fan of this game to a lover of this game. It took me 5 hrs worth of attempts and the phases being marked by his eruption attack helped me gauge the fact that i was improving each time. despite dying countless times each death brought me closer to vitory and i could not stop trying to beat him. that night i went to sleep eager to face him once more the next day. after 5 hrs the night before i woke up the next day my mind having memorized his attack patterns, and i crushed taking only one hit. few experiences rival the sense of satisfaction i got in that moment. thank you for letting me live it again in some small way by watching your playthrough.
When I killed him the first I was so into this fight, I loved it so much, that I decided to kill him without taking any damage. Took me 10 attempts max to do it (maybe less, it was around 4-5 years ago and my memory is pretty rusty). It is an amazing fight, I love it so so much.
About the spore shroom room and the duplicate grub, my only guess is if your game crashed/force quit, before benching or save quitting, then the game doesn't register it ever happened
There is one way you can get good healing. Shape of Unn lets you move during his ground-fire attack, so you can get a full 3 healing by just holding either direction while healing:
The Legend of Zelda series has been doing the dynamic boss music for a while, at least as far back as Wind Waker, and very noticeable in Twilight Princess as well. One of my favorite examples of dynamic combat tracks is all the way back in 2000 with Skies of Arcadia. The music changes based on both if your party members are low health or when a boss is.
NKG will always have a place in my heart because it was the hardest challenge i had faced in gaming at that point. I beat him when i was like 15 or so, and i could just feel my skills improving at every step. Took me a few hours, but i loved every moment, and the dopamine rush was insane afterwards
@@user-fr4hg8md5p PV. Ive done all 3 on radiant and imo the order of difficulty is absrad, then PV, then NKG. ...radiant markoth is a separate beast that we dont talk about LOL
The best boss fight mechanically but I have a love for the mantis lords. They and the fight against all 3 just has a very nice rythm to it that I love.
4:20 grubfather isnt a bad guy, hes actually goated because he is giving his own life for the grubs to have a metamorphosis and go through another phase of their lifes
Nice video, I had a pretty similar experience with NKG, I feel like he's a "once you learn it you got it" boss, btw you GOTTA abuse descending dark's s more, especially during GPZ since that's one of the tougher bosses for some but I just spam descending dark (also man I am hyped for Davinci Resolve 19, audio ducking and the performance increase seem so hype)
NKG and PV are both once you learn it you got it bosses due to their "dance" design. He could of also got cheeky damage by using fireball right after a normal slash, it deals with a lot of trash and breaks the game on subsequent playthroughs.
Glad to see play the Child Support DLC, I gotta start watching you on twitch for Godhome 1:15 yyeah, pun not intended, Hollow Knight is a pretty buggy game lol
did you make sure to sit at the bench before shutting your game down? If not, that's why you're doing those things again. Also, this is the first time you're playing ("blind reaction"), but unfortunately, you're getting backseat advice...I guess that's how it is when you stream a game.
Scrodinger's grub.
Nah that had me rolling
Fun fact: Grimm will SCREAM at you if you attack him while he bows. It’s the one and only time he ever loses his composure.
that, and he does the pufferfish attack first thing
I mean it is rather disrespectful to hit Grimm like that. I’d be pissed too lol
He found that out on stream in Godhome when Grimm bowed to the Godseeker and he was upset about it so he smacked him 😂
@@David111IsHere He was rude
@@Knuckles7712 that being said, he won’t yell at you if you use the Dream Nail on him!
Whenever I hear a pipe organ, I always feel like I’m about to fight for my life.

Seeing you spare the nail smith makes me happy, now he will live a happy life with sheo
11:57 the pure change of tone as you see the full screen title truly encapsulates the amount of pain NKG is
You're gonna love pantheon 5 :)
He's done some of it on stream, he did really good for first few tries :)

I once said “he shot me in the face with a fire bat. I can’t wait to go again!”
I’m with you on this, it’s my favorite fight even in front of abs rad and pure vessel. Took me about 2 hours but it was fully worth it

it’s nice to see a normal player play this game, as opposed to someone like Skurry or Fireborn. Makes me feel less bad at the game lol
I'm sure you're not as bad as when I played after weeks of only playing celeste

Shape of Unn my beloved. Once I equipped it, I never took it off. Gotta be my favorite charm.
I'm preparing to spend the rest of my Saturday evening watching this masterpiece of a video. (Heavy bias towards Grimm)
When I saw the death counter, I already knew what was coming
Think I'm gonna start doing that now
Burn the father, Feed the child. Amazing job love watching first time playthoughs of this game and everyones love for the music and fights :)
The Grimm Troupe is just too good. And the music...it's ingrained in my head thanks to listening to it in Spotify.
Good luck on Pantheon of Hallownest.
It took me months to complete that.
Goated game goated streamer. Common Knuckles W
We truly do love his streams
Underrated youtuber, amazing playthrought man. Id love to see a video on the godhome dlcs aswell
Impressive work. Good luck on the rest of the game.
You did it! Now you need to beat him every time you want to finish Godhome!
You are amazing at this game. I died to NKG 83 times before defeating him
The game was fr tryna deceive you there in the beginning.
Honestly love the troopay
Breath of the Wild also does the music affected by the intensity of the fight. I guess it's a 2017 thing.

Small correction, flower quest isn't optional, you need it for 112%
Didn't know that mb
@@Knuckles7712 No it's aight, can't wait to watch your struggles with the most "fun" part of Hollow Knight!
@@Knuckles7712it would have been easier if The Forgotten Crossroads wasn’t infected, but you can still clear your path beforehand.
TROUP AYYY!
I'm enjoying these a lot and can't wait for the next installment
Good music can really make you play better at a boss fight
(Remembers P-1)
Can't wait for godhome and PV frustration
i've waited so much for this
I beat nkg radiant almost daily and ascended pure vessle too
The temptation on using soul and not the nail
He did Grimm second try... I spent ages on base Grimm let alone Nighmare King Grimm
In fairness I had maxed out everything besides nail
@@Knuckles7712 I don't remember if I wasmaxed out by that point or not. Still very impressive on your part!
Hell yeah, congrats on beating NKG! Probably the 3rd hardest boss in the game imo, great job!

Also Silksong tomorrow pog?..
We can only hope
YES!! Looking forward to Path of Pain and Pantheon 5
It took me like less than an hour or maybe a little bit more to beat nightmare king Grimm
SO looking forward to path of path xdd
💀
@@Knuckles7712 I'm mostly saying that because of the music. imo path of pain is worth it for the music
"OUR child!?!?"
best boss in the game
Can’t wait to see pantheon 5, it’s super easy trust me
All bindings pog
now do radiant nightmare king
flower quest isnt optional it needed to 112 when Pop is optioanl also P5 optional too
after hollow knight you should play blasphemous
17:02
There's a 1 in 300 chance that an enemy drops 1 essence and you just got it from NKG
Grimm, the sexy boi 😏

Whats nkg's difficulty in collectors
35/10
Don't know what to say since I've only seen 30 seconds. So uh...
Hi, hope you're having a good day :D
You too lol
Wait did you do Trial of the Fool? If you did, I don’t believe you included it in a video.
Not yet
Good luck on P5, if you havent beaten it already!
Now do Pantheon Of Hallownest (P5)
LETS GOO
when is the new video
I like Grimme Trouphei :)
the grimm trophy
now i actually have to try and beat p5 so you dont beat it before me :(
Lmao good luck I made it to GPZ in my current farthest attempt
@@Knuckles7712 me too :/ but its all because of floorless markoth

9 min gang
alas he will never get the most powerful charm in the game (this run)
you killed the blacksmith with your crystal dash. you didnt let him live edit: nvm i slowed it down thought it did damage tho?
Not positive, but I thought one of the patches explicitly made him immune to Crystal Dash, because people were accidentally killing him.
He isn't dead, I actually thought the same thing because of that, and I went frame by frame in editing. He lives.
