You should try using your dash in the air more. When Grimm (or Nightmare King Grimm) sends out the red bat projectiles, you can jump, then dash over them, landing you closer to Grimm so you can land a few hits. Also, air dashing really helps evade Grimm’s “dive, then dash-attack” and “dash-attack, then jump” moves.
NKG took me a lot of tries and it was the first boss I encountered in this game where I was actually unsure if I could defeat it or not. I did eventually win so I'm sure you did too. Favorite boss in the game btw!
When the boss' name covers the entire screen, you know you're toast
Sealed vessel is the most perfect song to use for the NKG reaction. No intensity, just pure dread and sorrow for what's to come
It is also part of one of my favourite hollow knight memes (“am I gonna fight the sun?” If I remember correctly)

I think he's already finished with the playthrough
