Boss Breakdown: How to Beat Troupe Master Grimm - Hollow Knight

[@Someone_you_may_know69]

"Try not to jump around needlessly" literally my whole fighting style

[@3twibles4sweetrevenge]

He just went like “let’s dance” and mauled me to death

[@Platina_Leaf]

Kind of reminds me of demyx (from Kingdom Hearts) who (in KH2) says Dance Water Dance while they are fighting you and instead of a weapon, he has an instrument

[@jasminem348]

No literally, like what do you mean "dance" 🥲

[@lilpopism]

To be fair once you find the rhythm it very much is a dance

[@Okaybutcats]

LOL SAME

[@r_dog5702]

at first i hated the grimm fight because i didn’t know any of the moves but after that it DID feel like dancing. grimm and the mantis lords are my favs

[@tayaraine]

same! those two were so fun

[@ewertonazevedo8483]

I was so traumatized by the mantis lords that I stopped playing for 4 months, after I got back into the game it was really easy and became one of my favorite boss fights. Abou the grimm, he's very tough but everything about him wins me over, his design his fluid and fast movement, the way the battle looks like a dance. Also he's kinda p-pretty 👉👈

[@lequocatcntt44b53]

Same but mine took a week

[@MrYtp12]

He does literally ask you to dance with him

[@bak3dBeanz]

i loved the mantis lords and the broken vessel 🤌✨

[@UnKtoast7920]

"Don't attack him during his bow." *Me who attacks during the bow because I didn't know that's what happens.*

[@EthanTheSigma]

same

[@pepsivessel]

i always press down to bow back

[@Platina_Leaf]

Actually if you attack him immediately after the bow but before he disappears it doesn’t count as during the bow meaning if you time it right, you can still get an extra attack in without causing an early puffer fish attack

[@m4ngo56]

wow, youre so funny!!!!

[@marougus7442]

@@pepsivessel Me too!

[@charsage1036]

Also at beginning of grimm fight when he bows you can use the dream nail and he won't get mad and go and use pufferfish attack effectively giving you free soul at beginning.

[@cupid3890]

imagine if you dream nail him at the beginning of the fight and get transported immediately to nightmare grimm lol

[@The_Chaotic_System]

Not technically true. Fairly sure there are just frames towards the end of the bow which don't trigger the pufferfish attach when he is hit. I know little of coding, but I can say that dream nailing isn't the thing that makes it so he wont go into his pufferfish attack.

[@charsage1036]

@@The_Chaotic_System huh that's really interesting thanks for sharing. And I swear every game has something interesting in the coding of it.

[@charsage1036]

@@cupid3890 that would be funny and cool. Also to add to it make it so if you beat nightmare king grimm you won't get fully upgraded grimm child because the ritual was completed to early.

[@Platina_Leaf]

You can still get a hit in if you time it right actually. I was trying to get him to puffer fish immediately for practice and my attack hit immediately after bow. It was a normal nail attack and the only charm I used to boost it was the quick slash one and Grimm didn’t puffer fish attack me. It was kinda hilarious tho that this was how I discovered this trick because I was trying to get good at one thing but instead I found a trick that makes it a tiny bit easier

[@mudshrooze]

Legit the part that fucks me every time the pufferfish attack takes three masks every time.

[@ElGalloUltimo]

Thanks for the hint that you can get him straight into puffer fish by hitting him during his bow. I prefer full spell build so I couldn't hit him at all during his normal attacks and died before getting him to puffer fish. So with shaman stone and grubsong equipped, I hit him during his bow, and abyss shrieked 6 times, which immediately sent him back into puffer fish because of his lowered HP. Then I let the damage fill my soul through grubsong, abyss shrieked him 2 more times, and the fight was over. I started with 8 masks and was down to 1 by the end. Took about 20 seconds total. Would have gone faster if I had equipped spell twister instead of mark of pride.

[@helicopter69]

damn good cheese strat man thanks a lot

[@loupingui]

Wow this actually worked, thank you

[@surestrange]

This was too easy. Gonna try to abyss shriek NKG in the puffer fish

[@neochuck]

Amazing tip! It has made him the easiest boss to defeat in my whole run so far. I beat him using abyss shrieked only while wearing Shaman Stone, Spell Twister, Stalwart Shell, Grubsong, and Grimmchild. Thank you very much for sharing this technique.

[@ForestsAndSunsets]

Looks like I gotta invest some time into getting the shriek 😳

[@The_Mojave_Mailman]

You are the only none cheese guide I've been able to find, you'd video is super helpful

[@danidjjjj1726]

yeh same I really didn't wanna cheese boss fights

[@stephenrice3156]

My favorite boss was Dung Defender. He's just so ecstatic to have a jolly time fighting lmao. His cheerful booms were awesome. The most challenging boss for me so far was probably the soul tyrant. I hated the soul master so the tyrant was him on steroids😂

[@fancyshoes002]

Grimm having such a cohesive attack pattern makes sense because he is preforming a 2 bug dance with the knight.

[@Jaqif_kopertoni]

I like how you explain every single detail that can help , i was able to beat a , i think mantis lords and soul master with your help

[@supersexysadie]

Same here!

[@olyalyaka1994]

Thank you very much for this video! I was looking for the video with tips on beating him (besides incredibly cheese method) and yours helped me to beat Grim in an hour. And it was great. Really liked the fight. I used you built but ended up switching quick slash for quick focus because I had trouble healing in time. Thanks again!

[@HornetProtector]

This video is so helpful. I have been working so hard to beat the boss and right after watching this I immediately beat it first try.

[@zxcsmexxy]

Hey hope your channel blows up. Found your channel from the 112 percent challenge pretty fun to watch ngl

[@rachu816]

This guide helped me so much! 🧡 and I appreciate your congratulations in making it this far! It’s definitely been a struggle 🤭

[@zacharysouth3835]

Thanks. This goes way in depth and I'm sure I'll be able to finish Grimm soon

[@joseycarlson3564]

I've been stuck on this boys for a couple days now only being able to get to the first puffer fish attack. I watched this and tried a few more times and got him np lol thanks a lot for the breakdown.

[@Monarth]

This was fairly helpful, although I couldn't utilize most of the tips here. The knowledge on the attack patterns helped well. I'm playing for the first time, so I haven't acquired most of the useful tools shown here. Had only 6 masks, Channeled Nail, and charms Quick Slash and Mark of Pride during the fight. In the end it came to just getting adjusted to his patterns and whittling his health away almost exclusively during the Fire Bat attacks by dashing over them and getting 1-2 hits in. I used Cloth Spikes attack as a window to heal. I'm not so nimble as to Nail Bounce on foes, so I just played it safe after getting comfortable enough. Only Nightmare King left, but that'll have to wait until I explore the deeper sections of Hallownest, where the last flames are.

[@appeli1]

wtf only 6?

[@tg9521]

@@appeli1 I have problems even with 8

[@appeli1]

@@tg9521 yeah we all do but i said that cause its pretty hard to only have six when i was over there

​@@Artifixe748 those are my stats and I have the lvl 1 vengeful spirit and channeled nail and I also have cyclone and great slash. I only have the mantis claw and nothing cloak. Should I progress a bit more before I do this fight?

[@andrix7777]

Thank you for the video. Honestly, after I watched the video, it felt as if Grimm was taking mercy on me because every time I got hit he used the cloak spikes attack to help me heal. Even used the firebats attack the most (I hit him the most during that one, developed my own strategy that differs from this one but requires Monarch Wings + doesn't do more nail slashes than your one, I just felt like mine was a bit easier). Plus I didn't know Grimm bowed, so I "bowed" during that time as well instead of attacking him. Defeated him first try after this video.

[@sci_pain3409]

fun fact! you can avoid his fire bats entirely and heal at the same time with shape of unn.

[@justaweeb5756]

I don't think so, I will forget this fight for a long time

[@tylerjames251]

Great guide, really. Def helped me win in about 11 attempts. I'm happy with that. ^___^

[@morten1313]

This guide is amazing,! The first time I did this fight I died immediately since I did not even know a fight was happening, I watched this and beat the boss on my first try after that. Thank so so much! Also for those who aren't sure for charm combo, I would recommend quick slash, long nail, sprintmaster (I know that some find it not great for combat but I find this charm amazing especially for this boss)and sharp shadow.

[@jackbhall2813]

Don’t normally comment but this video is perfectly put together! I gave up on Grimm and put the game down when I first played in 2018 Came back, did a full playthrough and struggled again. After watching this video I beat him TWICE. (Once in Godhome) It really is a fun fight. I think knowing I could reliably dodge the bats and his pufferfish attacks really made it easy. Thank you!

[@Ronin-f2o]

Great video! I appreciate your explanation and saying things like you will get hit, and learn, instead of constantly saying something is easy. Anyway, after a dozen or so attempts I got him and it was the most fun boss in my opinion. Thanks for your help!

[@purr_purr_meow_meow]

Lost like 10 times in a row, watched this guide and beat him 1st try no joke. Thank you so much ❤ Not hitting him before he bows so you can accurately see his balloon phases at 25% hp was huge advice. And healing when he’s in his floating shade phase was perfect!

[@harshmeena4]

*Thanks after seeing this video i was able to beat him on the 2nd try, i was surprised how easy it was after knowing his attacks!* 👍🏻

[@fizzygrape]

This helped soo much!! With the (tremendous) help of this video, and using the charms quick nail, long nail, sprintmaster, and grimmchild (only had 8 slots) it only took me like 30-60 minutes to beat him !! :3

[@serumono]

thank you horizon shield. I've beaten almost every boss except the radiance

Only 1.75k subs and you are pumping out content all the time. It's a definite sub for me!!!!! Quality stuff right here

[@harmonyquinn2557]

Dung Defender, and esp White Defender, is hands down the best boss. The lore behind him and the 5 Knights are also one of my favorites.

I'm currently trying to beat him and it's not easy it's only easy after he beats the shit out of you for 5 hours and you finally get muscle memory

Thank you for this, after 2 trys using the Bee-charm i got him, didnt knew how to savely heal

[@Shercko]

THIS is what I need to beat this boss. The abyss shriek "cheese" doesn't work anymore since they buffed his health. Thanks for this!

i use Unbreakable Strength,Quick Slash,Mark Of Pride, and Sprint master so you can walk faster to dodge his pufferfish

That combination takes 10 charm slots and you only have 8 available after equipping Grimmchild, so I don't believe you...

I did this fight with only 6 masks, so I didn't have all the stuff. I found that using Quick Focus, Soul Catcher, and Grubsong (along with Grimmchild ofc) works really well, since during the spike attack you can heal 3 masks. You'll almost always have soul too, so it's great and makes the fight a lot easier.
