Yes Merg the large corpse in which you found the King's Brand in _is_ the Wyrm's corpse, and the ashes come from it. The head of the corpse is all the way below but it rains ashes from above is because the Wyrm is gigantic, it's corpse is literally all over the place in Kingdom's Edge, explains that it rains ashes everywhere.

[Spoiler Free Advice] Remember the door in the Ancient Basin? The King’s Brand unlocked that. Go there soon. When you are given a choice to do something, I advise that you look up what the options do. This is because certain actions lock you out of some content entirely unless you make a new save. I'm surprised you defeated Grimm! Especially without the second nail upgrade. You should complete the first Pantheon, you seem ready for it. It'll be fun, I assure you. Talk to Sly since you found all of the Nailmasters, I think he has new dialogue. The Trials in the Colosseum give really nice rewards. It is worth it to do them in an episode sometime. There's one area that I'm surprised you haven't found yet, at this point in the game I would have completed it by now. I suggest going to the Ancient Basin first, then either go to Deepnest or find the above mentioned area in the next episode.

Remember you saying "I am not using nail arts because I cannot dash when charging"? The existence of Dash Slash makes that line even more dumb. Fun fact: Gorgeous Husk and Largest Geo Deposit both drop 420 geo. Quick Slash is one of the best charms in the game. Definitely top 5. Remember you using "Fool" as an insult to yourself when getting attacked by Fool Eaters? Well, now you know you were calling yourself a champion of the colosseum. You got the last simple key in the game! And there is only one place to use it... City of Tears, remember? Grimm first try? Well, GG. I was there for an hour. So...

Nice video as always! Just wanted to warn you about the flames. One of them is located in the Deepnest.

Now that you have the King’s Brand, you can now go get one of the best abilities in the game. I won’t spoil what it is, but if you’re having trouble, head back to that door at the Ancient Basin. Colosseum of Fools gives several rewards. It is a large challenge though. It depends if you think you’re up to the challenge. Honestly by now if you wanted to complete the main storyline you have everything you need to defeat the Dreamers and reach the endgame. Can’t wait to see what you do next!

"Don't Sha me" -Merg 2019

[@JerriTheSlime]

Sentinel Hornet is such a good fight because the spikes she summons purposefully distract you, you think they are threatening so you destroy them, but it distracts you from Hornet, who is much more agile and dangerous. I died 4+ times to that one clever attack.

[@slendermonkey7]

This man beat Grimm on the FIRST TRY?! Bravo my friend, bravo

[@slendermonkey7]

Also, hi Merg 😂

[@robobobo1690]

Merg : "beating Grimm first try" People: "clap"

[@blendzen9623]

Merg I gotta say that you surpassed my expectations in this episode. Can’t wait to see where you’ll go next in the dilapidated kingdom of Hallownest! Just remember to not listen to the offer given when you collect the flame at Deepnest, it’ll hardlock you out of more content. Cheers and continue having fun :)

[@mz2252]

Now that you have King’s Brand you can acess that locked door in the deepest part of the Ancient Basin Note- that place is where the main charecter’s “species” was born

[@YushiruOokashiSLW]

Okay, can we just sit back and discuss about how Merg beat the Grimm on his first attempt?

[@blindvi4849]

he protecc he attacc but most importantly, he goes SHUBISHUBISHU when he needs his health bacc Edit: almost 80 likes and i got pinned by Merg! that's really nice Edit 2: 90 likes! but Merg removed the pin :( Edit 3: Merg didn't remove the pin, i'm just stupid and didn't know that it gets removed when you edit a comment

Nailmaster Oro: gimmi geo for something my brothers gave to you for free Also Nailmaster Oro: *has worst nail art*

[@contone]

The fact that merg died to a great hopper more times then he did to Grimm....

[@alexandradordzhieva3835]

I think the concept of the fight with the "Master" is pretty cool. you wont have 2 slots of charms and the "dodge the spike" attack was unique. also the "Master looks like a DARK/FIRE type, and Hondoom and Houndour are also that type. and I like Houndoom and Houndour as a POKEMON.

[@toomuchtime4896]

Mrmm...

[@salvagamesy4001]

[@DoomOfCave]

Aww yiss! Almost hour and a half of Hollow Knight, And such awesome boss fights too, Im hyped >W< ps: Ive been waiting you to fight Grim and Hornet 2 forever now btw, finally my patience is rewarded -w-

[@lycanthr0py961]

To be frankly honest, I didn't expect Merg to first-try Grimm since he's pretty though in difficulty

[@regilol4646]

merg:we got range the moment: 5:56 happen merg:... also merg ask:are you a spider the people who stay weeks to get that like game theory:scream because of rage also 2 hornet scream because she attack merg scream because he is scared

[@ubethepatato209]

Love you Merg but please do not agree on a certain fire from deepnest, love you

[@jmpioli2142]

You can accept the fire without banishing the troupe

[@dotsyt7765]

jmpioli you are correct sir

[@groovy5672]

Merg- "im not even doing anything, im just living!" Belfly- "precisely."

[@philltheotherguy1868]

You can open the door with the flowers from the inside with a Backdoor in the waterways.

[@lucasvalls5436]

If you had DREAM nailed him at 1:18:03 you would have gotten this: Masterful! Even a vessel discarded bears fierce strength. Fine craft dear Wyrm, and perfect tool to prolong the heart of Grimm.

[@kisu_1919]

When I saw that he was going to fight Grimm I was like "Oh boy; I bet he's going to get annoyed by the difficulty of this boss-" **Merg beats it on his first try** " o h "

[@fuzzyd1436]

Near the palace, at the buttom of the world, A door that requires the test of resolve. A door for king, the pale idol himself, could you raise your nail once knowing it's tragic conception, and knowing yourself? "Under palest watch you taught, we changed, base instinct were redeemed. A world you gave to bug and beast as they have never dreamed" Go deeper, yet deeper, into the basin below this kingdom, explore the deepest ends of hallownest.

[@MistressNebula]

Showdown? More like SHAWdown I suggest you go to the deepnest next, thwre are a lot of cool things hiding in the darkness, and it's gonna be a memorable experience for sure (in a good or bad way, that depends XD)

[@Juuuuuuuj]

39:30: its time to go back to the ancient basin merg, open that door and seek out the secrets it holds.. 48:37 you forgot the dream gate!!!

[@t3zlal3gend82]

Merg : beats Grimm first try not even a serious charm loadout. Me: upgraded nail 3 times has almost every charm in game and almost all mask shards still can't beat him. ;-;

[@minimarshmallow4534]

Merg:stop your higaley Hornet:uses higaley like 10 seconds later

[@BorfenDa]

[@neosonic8641]

Descending dark isn't just for the tiny enemies its useful for big enemies and boss too like the great hopper/Watcher knight you Don't have to hit them specifically on the head when they dash on you use descending dark and it will hit them and you wont get hit

[@miaumiau7919]

Merg to Hornet: Are you a Spider? Me: Yes
