IKR? The fight was so damn entertaining I really didn't mind to lose. I actually got kinda sad when I finally beat him, cause that meant I couldn't fight him again.
I was failing NGL for like a good 2 hours but not the slightest frustration. This fight feels extremely fair and when you get hit its 100% your own fault
Isn't Nightmare King harder than the Radiance? Still, from every extremely har thing (White Palace, The Radiance, Trial of the Fool) Nightmare King is my favourite.
Grimm Troupe: Dance with me, my friend! (starts to bow) Me: (gives Grimm a friendly punch in the arm) Yes dude lezz do it! Grimm Troup: *REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!*
They also applaud when he starts his bullet hell. In Nightmare King fight, the crowd doesn't respond to when he splits, but their eyes glow, they sit up straight, and they start quivering when he does his bullet hell. Nice touch, though this game is filled with nice touches.
Real Shmooie my recommendation is using mark of uun and dash master to make it so you move quicker, quick heal as well. There’s some attacks where you can legit heal under them (mainly his fireball attack).
@Gabriel Androsiglio yep i agree with you and it happens mostly if i already died to that boss so i know how to react and avoid if it did a certain pattern
I just found out this game existed today, and judging by the comments on some of the videos I found about it it has a shit ton of paths to choose, some hard bosses and deep lore. I’m going to have to do a shit ton of research. But damn that animation and design. The character and fight style. I can’t stop watching this. It’s just so... cool.
Yep. Grimm was added in the second game free expansion, and is by far the hardest non pantheon boss. He is however by far the most enjoyable challenge in this game. He is the most fair boss in the entre game. He never has overlapping attacks, he can be easily telegraphed, and he does no rely on RNG for his attacks. However, his speed is extreme and fighting him cannot be done in any other way than getting good. It Simply has nothing you can exploit to make it easy mode, no where where you can be truly safe. Only you, him, and the fiery dance of the ritual.
Once I defeated Nightmare King Grimm and appeared outside, I was genuinely sad to see his tent not being there. I was like "aw man, don't go you were really cool :["
You are not supposed to hit him when he first bows at you. That'll cause the boss to take more time on the bullet hell. If you dreamnail him he'll start with his regular attacks and the battle would be shorter. Please keep this in mind if you speed run the game.
Yeah, I was caught by surprise when on my third try Grimm was like "nope, suffer from my wraith!" and suddenly inflated. First try I lost on dreamnailing him to death, trying to get all the lines. Well... ty Jiji. Second time he twice caught me by dashing after landing, then impaled me with his cape, then roasted from above. Third time I decided to attack him at first opportunity...
If you weren't supposed to do something, the game wouldn't allow you to do it. Also I'm pretty sure the Hardcore version of the track only plays when you hit him while bowing. Not sure though.
Larkin for the rest of the game: Some nice vibes, maybe get a little more intense for the bosses. Larkin when composing for Grimm: *D E A T H O P E R A*
This was my favorite boss in the game when I got up to it. And when he eluded to a harder upcoming "dance," I was so excited. And then the game was like, "you want to dispel the troupe, fam?" Im just like "yup sure :3" I was a fool...
you loose one of the best boss fights in the game for some weak charm that everyone agrees is not that good. you loose 2 great boss battles cause some cowardly wimp was like: i dont really like this. bastard
I'm sad because i banned Nightmare King instead of beating him and lost the charm/pet. About the perfection, I was specifically thinking about the OST at first boss. But yeah, for me this game is just perfect/awesome.
@@merlin3192 compared to most AAA titles, definitely yes. Silksong is gonna have a much bigger fanbase tho. People have been waiting for it and would sell their damn soul for it, for a hornet dlc, but team cherry, overdo themselves as usual, only to impress us and have more fans, create a new game. Gonna play it the second it releases.
I remember beating Nightmare King Grimm for the first time this year. Took me two playthroughs and nearly two years. It was absolutely worth it. It's an a great boss fight and the music definitely assists the boss fight to achieve that greatness.
What I love about this battle (yes so far I've only beat the first one) is that when you learn to recognize his moves it actually kinda feels like a fast dance
He talks as if he knows the Wyrm(the pale king) personally. Interesting, i wonder if it was before or after his reincarnation that they met. Anyways nice dude
he appears to be a spider of some sort. maybe he was from deepnest and got his powers from having too many nightmares. eventually in the nightmare he went up to the heart and absorbed its power. just a theory though
@@dwil1975 I think Grimm is half moth, half spider. Specifically a Cinnabar moth and a Red-backed jumping spider (look them up it's uncanny!! 😮) moths in Hollow Knight are shown to have the power to shape and travel through dreams right and spiders ARE considered terrifying creatures, the stuff of Nightmares if you will... that might explain some of Grimm's powers too because creatures like the Weavers are mentioned to be able to make spells using silk, so who knows? 🤔 I mean if you look at the Nightmare Heart it looks like it has threads, wires and patchwork ... Maybe that's connected? 🤔
When you enter the tent and hear the accordeon that chills your shoulders. you meet grimm and take part of his ritual. at the almost last part he wants to "dance" with you and the heavy organs come out and the epic "dance" starts. after that the second "dance" turned into a fight of Nightmare and fear. Fighting the opesite of a dream , the true nightmare king grimm.
Esseb yea that what I thought to but I fought this boss to and the fact that hey gets the dialog at the begin of the fight means it's his first attempt
Esseb it was just sarcasm. Obviously it’s trial and error and pattern memorizing I was just having some fun. It’s seriously impressive that he can eventually do all this without being touched!
Don't worry Yall. He actually wants you to kill him. That's what the ritual is, his body being killed, the Grimmchild absorbing his essence and being born anew through the Grimmchild. The kid is basically a young clone of him to hop into.
my headcanon is that the ritual is his way of starting more troupes. when grimm was a child he was walking and the new child is airborne so when someone else activates the torch in the future maybe a fully grown grimmchild will be there. and i dont think grimm dies, but teleports away. why else would the tent dissapear?
I love how the boss name causes your screen to go black momentarily. As if to say that you cannot grasp the true form of his attack. By the way, that wasn't just Grimm glancing at you, that was bowing like a true actor. I even love how attacking him while he's doing that activates a hardmode version of the fight, as if to penalize you for your rudeness. Or did you do that on purpose just to challenge yourself?
It looks easy for the watchers who didn't play the game, but for me NKG is by far the toughest boss in game, and way harder than any Cuphead bosses and Souls bosses. The only exception being the completely optional +10 difficulty Zote the Mighty which is basically just tweaking the numbers and make all his moves one shot. (Every bosses can be that difficult if you tweak them into doing 9 damage, so I do not consider this real difficulty. )
I died to NKG way more often, but I still consider GPZ+4 a more frustrating fight. I agree, Hollow Knight is a bit more challenging than Souls games. Although I probably still died more to the DLC bosses of Bloodborne and the Genocide final boss of Undertale and consider them to be more difficult.
Well, it certainly is true for me. I had more trouble with NKG and GPZ than any Souls boss ever. Bloodborne is a whole different story though. Both BB and HK are more fast paced than DS, so I can see people saying they perceive it as more challenging. Doesn´t mean DS was never hard of course.
That´s a pretty weak argument. Any boss can be made artificially difficult by messing with the health and damage sliders. We are talking about what´s available in the vanilla playthrough. Grey Prince Zote is a different matter because you only get all unlockables in the game if you beat him four times.
After I beat the Nightmare King, I couldn't help but appreciate how fun it was. The use of the Nail Arts helped alot, since almost every hit was a charge attack.
The animation of the grimmkin clapping is just adorable. But the crowd in the Nightmare King boss fight... They actually look like they're performing some sort of sadist ritual or something. A wee bit disturbing, to say the least.
Am I the only one who's favorite character is Grimm? Also, DANG!!!!! Grimm can certainly put on a show. He and Mettaton would get along. Finally, I bet Grimm might be able to take on the RADIANCE HERSELF!!!!!!!
[PR]Speedy27 ಠ_ಠ Ironically defeating the Nightmare King is the bad ending for the grimm troupe. The good ending is banishing them and never defeating the king.
I think it's to do with the Grimmchild. If you dream nail Grimm he compliments the Wyrm (aka Pale King) on the current Hollow Knight as the perfect vessel for the heart of Grimm. if I had to guess I would say by defeating Nightmare King he'll be reborn through the Grimmchild as part of the ritual. Then the whole thing starts all over again.
Yellow Pikmin88 I'm trying to figure out the lore of the grimm troupe. What i have so far is that the grimm troupe are nightmares that are embodied by scarlet flame instead of light. The grimm troupe appear when a kingdom is dying and partake in a ritual of feeding the scarlet flame of the dying kingdom to the next nightmare king. All members of the grimm troupe are trapped with the current king whether willingly or not.
The first fight isn't that bad, after a few tries you will be able to dodge all his moves reliably but i recommend using nail arts as the boss teleports after 1 hit anyway and Nail arts do x2.5 of your damage. The second fight on the other hand is extremely tough and fast. It is actually harder than the first ending's final boss of the game

1: Hit him when you can
2: Don't die

Does this work with Pure Vessel too?

If anything Nightmare King would be good training for Radiance methinks

Kacper Cichy I meant if you decide to fight Nightmare King before Radiance (Like I might when I get Hollow Knight)
Pretty much. Radiance does get easier with this DLC if you choose to Banish instead of Ritual, due to the 'Carefree Melody' Charm.

Oh, yeah, I did a No-Hit NKG too (although in the hall of gods). It was really fun and NKG is now my favourite Boss in HK.
and that's not litterally an attack its the "dream blade" a blade that can enter a dead person or alive person's mind or conciousness.
I know it's a small detail to focus on out off the bigger picture, but I like the little vocalizations Grimm makes when he goes in to attack.
Grimm is probably one of my favorite characters in all of Hollow Knight.
After I beat the Nightmare King, I couldn't help but appreciate how fun it was. The use of the Nail Arts helped alot, since almost every hit was a charge attack.
I love how it goes all Heavy Metal when he puffs up.
This gives me confidence I don’t deserve.
YES! Its out!
Also the music is Amazing!
Grimm looks like a Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss character. Maybe he was an inspiration for some of them?
The second line of drums and choirs that kicks in during the pufferfish attack always give me chills
That Grimm guy seems like one Helluva Boss.
U mean stolas?
thought the same
I think both have The same reference
The animation of the grimmkin clapping is just adorable. But the crowd in the Nightmare King boss fight... They actually look like they're performing some sort of sadist ritual or something. A wee bit disturbing, to say the least.
Oh geez, I wanna hear some lore videos cuz Grimm hypes me.
there this reddit post here www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/791pyd/grimm_troupe_lore_spoilers_and_speculation/
Everybody gangsta till you hit Dracula while he's bowing
Am I the only one who's favorite character is Grimm? Also, DANG!!!!! Grimm can certainly put on a show. He and Mettaton would get along. Finally, I bet Grimm might be able to take on the RADIANCE HERSELF!!!!!!!
Grimm was probably controlling the audience while fighting, since they're puppets and all.
What is a man?
Billy Greggory a miserable little pile of secrets
But enough talk!
Yours Truly, Ace Attorney reference, I suppose?
@@GenocidalSquid A Castlevania reference, I believe.
Nobody is talking about the banger boss music
wait... is he good or evil? i mean he beat the lord of nightmares
Goran Prvulovic i think Nightmare King is like the Evil version of Grimm
[PR]Speedy27 ಠ_ಠ Ironically defeating the Nightmare King is the bad ending for the grimm troupe. The good ending is banishing them and never defeating the king.
I think it's to do with the Grimmchild. If you dream nail Grimm he compliments the Wyrm (aka Pale King) on the current Hollow Knight as the perfect vessel for the heart of Grimm. if I had to guess I would say by defeating Nightmare King he'll be reborn through the Grimmchild as part of the ritual. Then the whole thing starts all over again.
Yellow Pikmin88 I'm trying to figure out the lore of the grimm troupe. What i have so far is that the grimm troupe are nightmares that are embodied by scarlet flame instead of light. The grimm troupe appear when a kingdom is dying and partake in a ritual of feeding the scarlet flame of the dying kingdom to the next nightmare king. All members of the grimm troupe are trapped with the current king whether willingly or not.
So that would make the Grimmchild the future King
The Knight: Grimm, I’m here to tell you to pay child support
Grimm:.....
S E H
when they said that if they hit grimm he shrieks and turns into a pufferfish, i thought they were joking 😂 the bow is sacred. respect it!
I just discovered this game and it look cool!
I have a strong Dracula vibe from this boss (and not only from the castlevania series)
The character design is fucking amazing.
I feel like I’d see this man in helluva boss or hazbin in hotel
Lol, me too
Local badass risen vessel kicks king of nightmares ass without a scratch.
This dlc sound track is INSANELY GOOD!
0:14 That sound made me jump
2:10 really thought it was pince stolas from helluva boss at first oh my-
The first fight isn't that bad, after a few tries you will be able to dodge all his moves reliably but i recommend using nail arts as the boss teleports after 1 hit anyway and Nail arts do x2.5 of your damage.
The second fight on the other hand is extremely tough and fast. It is actually harder than the first ending's final boss of the game
I freaking love his ost
HE DID NOT BOW. THINE SHALL BE PUT TO THE GUILLITINE
The ending of the vid should’ve been the Knight sitting with Quirrell by the Blue Lake
Edit: great vid btw
