[@richardmorgan3665]

@@jellynautile7182 Carefree Melody is pure luck, I mean blocking a hit is good but it sucks because it's not consistent and the chance of it activating and blocking a hit is pretty low. I don't like leaving things up to luck that's why I hate the Markoth fight so much because it's pure luck where the nails appear and I tend to not have the best luck. To me Carefree Melody is the worst charm in Hollow Knight, but I am open to reasons why anyone think it's a good charm, you just have to explain it and not just say it is. Edit: OK Carefree Melody is not the worst charm in the game, heavy blow is because at worst Carefree Melody just doesn't work but for heavy blow at worst it screws you over especially with some of the money annoying enemy in the game the primal aspids. I'm sorry Carefree Melody fans but while I don't think it's the word charm in the game I still think it's one of the worst in the game because it's job becomes irrelevant if you're somewhat decent at the game, Grimmchild is better but it still sucks IMO but it sucks less than Carefree Melody plus you don't miss a sick boss fight if you go for Grimmchild instead of Carefree Melody.

[@silvershine2261]

if you are still struggeling, try to analyse the fight and make yourself a plan on when to hit him. Dont rush him. You can for example just attack during his fire bird and flame pillar attacks. As soons as he opens his cloack, jump up and shade cloak through the third bird, so the second one of the high ones. Than smack him two or 3 times. With the flame pillar just stutter step a few inches forward until the fourth pillar spawned and give him an abyss shriek. Repeat until dead. Dont stress about hitting him while staggered, just heal. His claw attack into descending fire balls is the hardest move for me personally. You just need to train to see the right visual cue if he wants to slash or summon fire birds. If he wants to slash, dash opposite (maybe get one or two hits in) and then move a little bit in his direction to avoid the fireballs. They always have the same pattern iirc. His groundspike attack is easy to dodge, because it has a very generous hitbox. Much easier than pure vessels swords from the ground. Dont move inbetween his attacks, but analyze and move accordingly once he reappears. I just stopped trying to pogo him on his drill and dash attack because the one hit is not worth the risk. Either ddark or just jump over him. Take safe hits For me Quick slash, unbreakable strength, shaman stone and soul catcher worked wonders. But if you want to try him in godhome/pantheon, carefree melody is great for training his fight without instant punishment. Or use quick focus to get safe heals whenever he makes his spike attack

[@blueyimmit8897]

[@leobird8756]

For anybody that still could use a suggestion: I failed so many times with damage based builds, but what really helped me learn and eventually beat Grimm and several hard bosses was quick focus + shape of unn. Learn every boss with heal builds because the longer you can hang in the fight, the more time you’re spending learning the moves. Once you learn it you can switch back to damage build and destroy

Is the speed of grimm determined by geo rather than damage? Or is it a counter to keep track of. It would be cool that when you do damage the amount of damage done gets added to your geo and the more geo you have the faster he goes. Maybe there could be a mod that makes the game harder the more geo you have and before getting each ability you have to have a certain amount of geo in your inventory before progressing.
