This video is really good! And very helpful. Keep up the good work!

[@CBMXLGaming]

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your feedback since this was my first ever guide video. Stay tune for more!

[@DJKoolKing]

@@CBMXLGaming yeah, I really did like it! (and I subscribed too.)

[@CBMXLGaming]

@@DJKoolKing awesome! Thank you!

[@Thomas-yf1ve]

thank you for slowing it all down so i can actually see whats going on haha. dashing through the bats to hit him is huge, thank you for the tips

[@CBMXLGaming]

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped 😃

[@kolyanosec6311]

Now, absolute inferno king grimm

[@CBMXLGaming]

Wow! That sounds reeeaaallly hard. Unfortunately, I don't have a PC. I'm only playing this on switch huhu

[@virtualcolt]

What i did was a pseudo stall strategy with Jonni's Blessing and a bit of a spellcaster build, and I would only attack when Grimm uses the bats or rising flame attacks. And the moment he gave me a chance I Abyss Shrieked him to the face. It worked like a charm. I think ill do the same in the Godseeker battle.

[@CBMXLGaming]

Nice charm set-up! 😌

[@zenphenygaming4979]

Y’all don’t sweat it, nkg is a whimp, just use strength pride shaman and Grimm child, if you are at godhome just redo the charms to not include Grimm child, beat him on radiant in 25 ish attempts

[@CBMXLGaming]

That's pretty cool!

[@aloneyay]

Hi great vid, just some feed back, I don't think that quick slash is really necessary and instead you should use unbreakable heart and dream wielder or something like that.

[@Iris_Astraea]

While i do think this is a good guide, I do feel for players struggling with this may find some strats a bit risky I'm gonna say a few thing's i personally did differently (trying not to think too much about hitless since I'm quite used to thinking about the fight that way) I feel like nail arts, less experienced players are a lot less likely to use them so may be easier to just do a single hit Also save a lot of spells for the flame pillars as that's the easiest attack to deal damage, you can usually jump upslash after the 3rd pillar and abyss shreak after the 4th

[@CBMXLGaming]

Thanks for the tips! I'll try doing that next time

[@briancusack1148]

What do you think about shape of Unn instead of shaman stone? I'd struggle to dodge as well as you did there and as a worm you have a heal window for the spikes and can wiggle underneath his deamon fireball shooty attack

[@CBMXLGaming]

Thanks! That's an idea worth trying, although as a worm, you wouldn't be able to counter-attack Grimm, so the whole battle might take longer. But it's definitely safer and less risky. Something to think about though, I think the firebats might still be able to reach you on the ground if you're far away, wouldn't they?

[@faddedreality6885]

You didn't use shaman stone like at all

[@DJKoolKing]

He used the occasional spell, but yeah, not that much.

[@CBMXLGaming]

You're right, I didn't use it as much as I thought I would. But I think I did one or two attacks using a spell, so I guess the shaman stone did have an effect; just not a significant one. What charms would you have used? Maybe I can give it a shot next time!

[@v1n4mr]

@@CBMXLGaming I use elegy as it allows me to hit from far away

[@v1n4mr]

like what you use shamans for

[@slugwhale5586]

⁠@@v1n4mrThat's not a great charm for this - if you get hit just once then you've wasted 3 slots that could be used on a more permanent damage boost, like shaman stone, because you don't get a chance to heal in this fight. If you're no-hitting, then it's great, but if you're just trying to beat him, it'll very quickly become useless.

[@mioszaugustyniak1156]

But i already beat this guy on radiant with strength shaman's spell twister and grimmchild (it ain't gunna work in godhome so basically 9 notches)
