I’m not sure you know what “cheese” means. This looked like a legit, no-strat to fight him. Nicely done.

I just learned his moves lol

you could also just hit him with a wraiths spell when you know the fire pillers arnt gonna reach you but if they will just run jump and use a fire ball at grimm

I usually walk slowly towards grimm during the flame pillars and on the last one do an abyss shriek for a ton of damage

Thank you, was strugeling with him for 6 hours

I applied some of the strats like always having a nail art ready and the charm build but I adapted to play differently. For example, I found it a little risky to do to slashes when the laser wall attack was going on, so I did one and sharp shadowed thru him on the last fire wall. For the bats, you can actually jump between in and get 1 great slash and another normal hit if your lucky. Also, as well as sharp shadowing thru grimm when he does the upper cut move, if you have ur nail art charged (which you should have charged through the whole fight), you can dash away from him instead of dashing thru him and great slash him. Finally, from my experience, I usually got hit if I had an art charged when he does the phase change pufferfish attack because there's a chance you could slash instead of jump. The main areas I got hit were the fireballs after the uppercut move, and when I tried to go for a second slash when the firewall move was present. Overall its a more aggressive way to fight nkg but it pays off and is pretty simple after some practice

I like how this isn't really a cheese and more of a great strategy so you still get to enjoy fighting nkg

you insult me

I personally played a whole lot more aggressive for example when he does that drill thing I would dash jump pogo him then dash away to avoid his fire trail and during the fire bats I would dash towards him and get around three hits. Charms I used were sharp shadow, shaman stone, unbreakable strength and quick slash

"Let's Cheese NKG!" *does the fight normally*

You just fought the boss 100 times, not cheese

bro this isnt a cheese this is just fighting him safely

with bats couldnt you use cyclone slash?

This is so incredibly helpful omg

ok now do radiant NKG no cheese speedrun

Why?… You could’ve just used your dive on his dash attack on the floor like you should have enough I frames???

Do you even know what cheese means or is ?

The best strat I've found so far is: weaversong+grubsong for consistent dmg and soul dreamshield for blocking fire bats and consistent dmg mark of pride/unbreakable strength/quick focus

This is literally the strategy I needed for NKG, I already pretty much knew how to avoid the flames-coming-from-floor attack _”Or wall of flames as I call it”_ and his dive attack, and dodge his pufferfish form attack with no problem _”Since it’s simply Troupe Master Grimm but faster”_ and all what I had trouble with was the uppercut and bats... especially the bats, those were tedious, but this video taught how to dodge them with no problem, now I’m certain that I’m going to destroy NKG, just with enough tries

I know it’s a dream and all but it’s kinda dumb that NKG can bypass your invincibility frames

Nmk beat da shjt outta me and u make him look easy . Wp

this is the only fight i would recommend ya'll finish by yourself cuz by the end of all the tribulations you get this massive zenkai boost in your hollow knight skills

This is a cheese? Bro this is strats! Whstchu mean??

of course right after i beat nkg

This is just the nail arts build. It’s honestly underrated, because with only the nail arts charm (that uses only 1 notch) you can do similar amount of dmg as fragile strength plus quick blade (6 notches)

thanks man, i beat it first try with this tactic

Am I the only one who finds Normal Grimms bat attack more annoying than the one of NGK?

I'm not good enough for this "cheese" ^^ But the positioning definitely helps with the fight..

Personally, I believe each person needs to experiment and try things and end up with the best strategy that's for them. The guides out there including this one do help, but in almost all cases, something is not for "each player". For example I can't stand spells and nail arts I just fail hard at them, beyond imagination. But above all everyone in this fight must learn to dodge the attacks. What helped me most is to experiment learning "only" to dodge with as max life as possible, I used all 3 charms that give life including but not limited to joni's blessing. This helped me survive more in beginning and thus learn the enemy attacks faster with slower deaths. I used to lose in 5-10 seconds tops (no comment). It took more than 20-30 tries but once I was able to reliably pass the 2nd puffer phase with my low damage (zero charms for damage after all), I figured it was time to switch to a normal setup with more dps. I utilized the hiveblood charm for my healing needs and it worked amazingly well because at that point you are good enough to not be hit constantly every few seconds so its a win win. Hiveblood + sharp shadow (amazing extra damage once you learn how to time it on the enemy dash uppercut attack especially), and unbreakable strength (obvious damage reasons). This is what did it for me. It did not take a lot of tries with hiveblood. It felt from beginning that it's doable. I would like to note that with this strategy I never even used spells apart of an odd heal during his stagger phase. Healing was not really needed hiveblood took care of it thankfully. This is actually a super hard boss to try to heal. I have no idea how people are so good to be able to time even their heals in such an intense fight where every split second can mean loss of 2 life, but for me this was 100% impossible. Yes I am very bad with spells and this includes attack spells, I have to say spells in this game are simply not for me. I wish I could use them better, but it seems like I am simply a nail guy. (lol) Granted, its not like I never tried to use them, I am just so bad at them that all that animation messes up my eye and hand coordination and I always end up doing crap losing life after casting almost anything (yes in most hard bosses that much is true). Unfortunately I don't use nail arts either, its simply too hard for my controls, again messes me up. I would also like to note that for me, the hardest enemy attack to dodge but also get a hit in, was by far the diagonal dash attack. Super fast, doesn't leave room for any error, the fire trail left behind is beyond annoying and in the end the only way I was able to avoid it was just jump or dash away fast enough and then jump and dash in the opposite direction. Under no circumstances was I able to throw a hit in during this phase except very rare cases where I ended up just by luck pogoing on standing grimm before he disappeared. This doesnt always work and can easily be self-hit instead. But who cares I just beat this, and I never thought I could do it! After doing this, hopefully Radiance and the 3rd pantheon at least become also beatable. :D My next goals. ^^

its not cheesing its just playing extremely passive

I don’t think you know what a cheese is

Thx

You missed LOTS of opportunities to hit him, but you just ran away. I like the strat but I can still be faster

4:17 i bow to every boss in hollow knight when i finally defeat them lel

Instead of shaman stone use dashmaster as it increases the damage of sharp shadow by 0.5 percent

Yet another click bait video claiming that it is a cheese, this is definitely not a cheese it is a guide/tutorial. Either you don't understand what cheese means or you are lying to get more views.

That's mozzarella not cheese

I don't think you know what "cheese" means lol

This just seems harder than the fight normally.

Or you know as the great hornet would say… GIT GUD

So basically: Dash Slash OP

I didn't end up using the nail arts or those exact charms but your positioning / dodging helped a lot, really appreciate the video!

I want you to know something, this was the best NKG guide I've seen, I used it, and it finally worked (after some tweaks, I took UB heart instead of soul catcher). I dont like videos often but you fucking earned it!

Hiveblood,sharp shadow,grubsong,steady body and grimmchild sharp shadow is for the attack where he starts in the air and dashes at you And for the fire pillars hit Grimm once sharp shadow through him and turn around them hit Him again

HK community will be like "you can cheese this boss" and then learn all their attacks, how to dodge them, and when they're vulnerable
