Hollow Knight: The Grimm Troupe - 2 New Bosses [No Damage]

Bosses in video:
[00:00] 1. Troupe Master Grimm
[04:52] 2. Nightmare King Grimm
Second free update, which adds a new quest and 2 boss battles.
The boss is intense, but he's not so bad. Zote and knight from the previous update were much harder. It looks like the Grimm was heavily inspired by Dracula from Castlevania series.
Also, don't forget, that the cost of the Quick Slash charm was increased, but I'm still using the old version of it. If you try my build in a new save, you will be overcharmed.

How to defeat NKG
1: Hit him when you can
2: Don't die
Awesome advice! I've applied this to bosses in several other games too, and found great sucess!
Does this work with Pure Vessel too?
@@sanjeevsinghrajput5593 eh maybe I'm not sure about that one
Good
Nah man,one easy step
Step 1:GIT GUD
1st fight:
"Well that was really easy, I was expecting more to be honest."
2nd fight:
"I'm leaving this game for a while now."
If anything Nightmare King would be good training for Radiance methinks
Isn't Nightmare King harder than the Radiance? Still, from every extremely har thing (White Palace, The Radiance, Trial of the Fool) Nightmare King is my favourite.
Kacper Cichy I meant if you decide to fight Nightmare King before Radiance (Like I might when I get Hollow Knight)
Pretty much. Radiance does get easier with this DLC if you choose to Banish instead of Ritual, due to the 'Carefree Melody' Charm.
how does carefree melody work?
The crowd really likes it when he puffs out like a pufferfish
Haha Grimm go eugh
Aggressive Bean must have really liked my attempts then
JENNA THOMAS I hate you
"I'm the puff guy."
Wierd flex, but okay.
Grimm Troupe: Dance with me, my friend! (starts to bow)

Keandre Gil ducot he means the group
@Keandre Gil Ducot Wait then why does the character name say Troupe master Grimm huh?
@@paths5346 He's the master of the troupe
I lost to this guy so many times. But I'm not even mad. Grimm is just too cool to be mad at.
IKR? The fight was so damn entertaining I really didn't mind to lose. I actually got kinda sad when I finally beat him, cause that meant I couldn't fight him again.
I was failing NGL for like a good 2 hours but not the slightest frustration. This fight feels extremely fair and when you get hit its 100% your own fault
In godmaster you can fight every boss again
@@maknirak Godmaster:
Gotchu covered
Both in a bad and good way
@Grimm oh god why are you every where i always still found you lmao
I like how the crowd freezes when he splits, and claps when he reforms
They also applaud when he starts his bullet hell. In Nightmare King fight, the crowd doesn't respond to when he splits, but their eyes glow, they sit up straight, and they start quivering when he does his bullet hell. Nice touch, though this game is filled with nice touches.
Definitely a nice touch
Ah that's actually pretty awesome! I always noticed the clapping, but not the freezes o3o
I read that right as he did it XD
there's actually a music change too, every time he does the bullet hell, there's a drumroll
“Look how *our* child has grown”

FVGHBWNDJSKDSGV
that's what he said
LOLOLLOLOLOLOLO
"strenghened by the heat of our passionate dance" excuse me WHAT
What? The player raises grimmchild, therefore making both grimm and the player the parents, except grimm doesn't pay child support

@@geromlarayos6696 when the banker steals all your money
Took me until my 5th death to see what he'd do if I let him bow. afterwards I got killed
I ALWAYS bow. It's respect. XD
I do it all the time since I KNOW THE TIME TO ATTACK AND ITS ANY TIME THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL ME
This is one of those boss fights where you don't kow what's going on but somehow you're doing just fine.
Grapplesauce I kept getting hit. Thankfully I have grubsong on 24/7
Real Shmooie my recommendation is using mark of uun and dash master to make it so you move quicker, quick heal as well. There’s some attacks where you can legit heal under them (mainly his fireball attack).
Grapplesauce ok but I’m not fighting him in godhome
@@grapplesauce9939 yeah my hands do the move I can only process what I did after the fight
@Gabriel Androsiglio yep i agree with you and it happens mostly if i already died to that boss so i know how to react and avoid if it did a certain pattern
My favourite part about Grimm is that if your too close to him during some attacks he becomes a spider and backs away then resumes attacking
relatable lol
He actually did so right here 7:50

You did not even bow at the beginning. This is VERY disgraceful on your part, Gellot.
Grimm, when attacked while bowing, will do that puffer fish attack.
Exactly, my good gentleman.
Also nice profile pic.
It’s also why he screams
if you don't attack him while he's bowing... he will do Normal attacks instead of that pufferfish fireballs attacm
Yeah but here is the question:
WHY WOULD YOU SKIP THAT ATTACK
THAT'S WHERE THE DRUMS AND THE ELECTRIC GUITAR KICKS IN
did you just beat NKG right when the song ended? proud of you VERY PROUD

Larkin for the rest of the game: Some nice vibes, maybe get a little more intense for the bosses.
Larkin when composing for Grimm: *D E A T H O P E R A*
Feels like they made Grimm just to have an excuse to have a more elegant piece.
I just found out this game existed today, and judging by the comments on some of the videos I found about it it has a shit ton of paths to choose, some hard bosses and deep lore. I’m going to have to do a shit ton of research.
But damn that animation and design. The character and fight style. I can’t stop watching this. It’s just so... cool.
Yep. Grimm was added in the second game free expansion, and is by far the hardest non pantheon boss. He is however by far the most enjoyable challenge in this game. He is the most fair boss in the entre game. He never has overlapping attacks, he can be easily telegraphed, and he does no rely on RNG for his attacks. However, his speed is extreme and fighting him cannot be done in any other way than getting good. It Simply has nothing you can exploit to make it easy mode, no where where you can be truly safe. Only you, him, and the fiery dance of the ritual.
Pop Bitz Blast SAME
Shit ton of research? No, you have to play it.
I really hate nightmare king grimm
Adrien Mansuy play this game or you will never know what a explosive husk is
Hollow Knight's Grimm 'dances' are essentially a(n astoundingly incredible) nod to Castlevania's Dracula battles. This game is phenomenal.
He really is. Wasn't that tough for me cause i've beaten almost every Castlevania game, so I knew most of his moves, lol

This was my favorite boss in the game when I got up to it. And when he eluded to a harder upcoming "dance," I was so excited.
And then the game was like, "you want to dispel the troupe, fam?"
Im just like "yup sure :3"
I was a fool...
just happened to me and I feel so bitter lol
I never wanted to cheat but I had to use mods to bring them back because I love them

One of my biggest regrets in life
you loose one of the best boss fights in the game for some weak charm that everyone agrees is not that good. you loose 2 great boss battles cause some cowardly wimp was like: i dont really like this. bastard

I remember beating Nightmare King Grimm for the first time this year. Took me two playthroughs and nearly two years. It was absolutely worth it. It's an a great boss fight and the music definitely assists the boss fight to achieve that greatness.
I love the extra drums and choir that it adds to his theme when he uses the huge flame attack thing.
You are not supposed to hit him when he first bows at you. That'll cause the boss to take more time on the bullet hell. If you dreamnail him he'll start with his regular attacks and the battle would be shorter. Please keep this in mind if you speed run the game.
I mean he'll start with the bullet hell, causing the fight to take longer.
Yeah, I was caught by surprise when on my third try Grimm was like "nope, suffer from my wraith!" and suddenly inflated.
First try I lost on dreamnailing him to death, trying to get all the lines. Well... ty Jiji. Second time he twice caught me by dashing after landing, then impaled me with his cape, then roasted from above. Third time I decided to attack him at first opportunity...
If you weren't supposed to do something, the game wouldn't allow you to do it.
Also I'm pretty sure the Hardcore version of the track only plays when you hit him while bowing. Not sure though.
miazmatic The hardcore version of the track plays when he does his bullet hell attack. Hitting him when he's bowing has nothing to do with it.
miazmatic Hitting him while he's bowing causing him to roar at you is a way to show that Grimm is a guy who likes a good show
How can a game be so perfect, omg
well, I thought the collectothon of gathering the flames was quite boring personally. But that boss? Yea.
I just wish he said more...
I'm sad because i banned Nightmare King instead of beating him and lost the charm/pet. About the perfection, I was specifically thinking about the OST at first boss. But yeah, for me this game is just perfect/awesome.
how can a game so perfect yet is underrated
@@yandereayinny9113 underrated?
@@merlin3192 compared to most AAA titles, definitely yes. Silksong is gonna have a much bigger fanbase tho. People have been waiting for it and would sell their damn soul for it, for a hornet dlc, but team cherry, overdo themselves as usual, only to impress us and have more fans, create a new game. Gonna play it the second it releases.
What I love about this battle (yes so far I've only beat the first one) is that when you learn to recognize his moves it actually kinda feels like a fast dance
Absolutely Nobody:

Fun fact:
His theme changes when he uses his puff attack
HES THE PUFF GUY
Shaheem Serrano *DuH*
@@shaheemserrano7473 “whut?”
Ngl, it kinda makes me sad when Grimm gets killed. I mean, sure, it's satisfying to beat him, but he's my favorite character!
Don't worry Yall. He actually wants you to kill him. That's what the ritual is, his body being killed, the Grimmchild absorbing his essence and being born anew through the Grimmchild. The kid is basically a young clone of him to hop into.
I see, so you wish to be in the ritual?
@@grimmtroupe7150, What happens to people who don’t bow to you?
my headcanon is that the ritual is his way of starting more troupes. when grimm was a child he was walking and the new child is airborne so when someone else activates the torch in the future maybe a fully grown grimmchild will be there. and i dont think grimm dies, but teleports away. why else would the tent dissapear?
as much as it can be annoying, Grimm having a reactive backstep to dodge is perhaps the one little thing that makes this boss come to life further.
2:02 turns into spider??? NANI?
I think hornet does something very similar to this too
Pause at it lol so weird
That's him skittering away from you on all fours when you get a bit too close for his comfort, just to clarify
Bugs has 6 legs so it’s okay
Enderplayerxx Enderman
actually he skitters away if you are too close when he’s about to telegraph an attack
4:57
Images that precede unfortunate events
So satisfying tho
I love how the boss name causes your screen to go black momentarily. As if to say that you cannot grasp the true form of his attack. By the way, that wasn't just Grimm glancing at you, that was bowing like a true actor. I even love how attacking him while he's doing that activates a hardmode version of the fight, as if to penalize you for your rudeness. Or did you do that on purpose just to challenge yourself?
i think i found my new favorite theme in this game
you and me both
M Ichwan IKR?
M Ichwan its amazing, but you cant get it anywhere until the gods and glory dlc comes out, one more reason to look forward to the new dlc

Them and Mantis Lords are my favorite in the game.
5:20 that music drop gives me goosebumps every damn time
What’s the point of the HP bar if you don’t ever need it? 🤔
He need it to learn how to fight boss. At the beginning he makes a lot of mistakes methink.
Esseb yea that what I thought to but I fought this boss to and the fact that hey gets the dialog at the begin of the fight means it's his first attempt
Or he has multiple saves?
in any way hes awesome, he puts effort into this videos,
Esseb it was just sarcasm. Obviously it’s trial and error and pattern memorizing I was just having some fun. It’s seriously impressive that he can eventually do all this without being touched!
He talks as if he knows the Wyrm(the pale king) personally. Interesting, i wonder if it was before or after his reincarnation that they met. Anyways nice dude
3:47
he appears to be a spider of some sort. maybe he was from deepnest and got his powers from having too many nightmares. eventually in the nightmare he went up to the heart and absorbed its power. just a theory though
@@dwil1975 I think Grimm is half moth, half spider. Specifically a Cinnabar moth and a Red-backed jumping spider (look them up it's uncanny!! 😮) moths in Hollow Knight are shown to have the power to shape and travel through dreams right and spiders ARE considered terrifying creatures, the stuff of Nightmares if you will... that might explain some of Grimm's powers too because creatures like the Weavers are mentioned to be able to make spells using silk, so who knows? 🤔 I mean if you look at the Nightmare Heart it looks like it has threads, wires and patchwork ... Maybe that's connected? 🤔
Stolas looks hella badass here
I know it's a small detail to focus on out off the bigger picture, but I like the little vocalizations Grimm makes when he goes in to attack.
When you enter the tent and hear the accordeon that chills your shoulders. you meet grimm and take part of his ritual. at the almost last part he wants to "dance" with you and the heavy organs come out and the epic "dance" starts. after that the second "dance" turned into a fight of Nightmare and fear. Fighting the opesite of a dream , the true nightmare king grimm.

It looks easy for the watchers who didn't play the game, but for me NKG is by far the toughest boss in game, and way harder than any Cuphead bosses and Souls bosses.
The only exception being the completely optional +10 difficulty Zote the Mighty which is basically just tweaking the numbers and make all his moves one shot.
(Every bosses can be that difficult if you tweak them into doing 9 damage, so I do not consider this real difficulty. )
I died to NKG way more often, but I still consider GPZ+4 a more frustrating fight. I agree, Hollow Knight is a bit more challenging than Souls games. Although I probably still died more to the DLC bosses of Bloodborne and the Genocide final boss of Undertale and consider them to be more difficult.
LMFAO I FUCKING BURST WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS HARDER THEN A SOULS BOSS
Well, it certainly is true for me. I had more trouble with NKG and GPZ than any Souls boss ever. Bloodborne is a whole different story though. Both BB and HK are more fast paced than DS, so I can see people saying they perceive it as more challenging. Doesn´t mean DS was never hard of course.
You sir have not fought Midir at NG+7
That´s a pretty weak argument. Any boss can be made artificially difficult by messing with the health and damage sliders. We are talking about what´s available in the vanilla playthrough. Grey Prince Zote is a different matter because you only get all unlockables in the game if you beat him four times.
Grimm looks like a Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss character. Maybe he was an inspiration for some of them?
I dont know why this moment is so perfecto and so freaking cool 3:41
Of course you've already done them both with no damage
You fucking legend you
I have trouble in the bullet hell phase because I'm busy nodding to the beat of that awesome hardcore track whenever it comes on.
Gotta say, these two bosses were the most fun bosses of the game imo! Good work on this dude!
and that's not litterally an attack its the "dream blade" a blade that can enter a dead person or alive person's mind or conciousness.
I did the Portuguese translation, I tried to do my best.
of the actual game?
Is very good
I had no idea this boss was a thing. Great job beating him Gellot!
Marisa Scarlet he is from the new dlc
The music of the battle is just awesome, and also, good job for doing this!
I feel like I’d see this man in helluva boss or hazbin in hotel
Lol, me too
Is there any one human being in the earth that DOESNT hit Grimm in the beginning of their bow?
Tylerkbc and ioBrens Me. I always bow too (look down).
I bow to him
Disrespectful, you should bow to your superiors. Which i do.
I don't I dream nail him

I absolutely love these videos they are awesome keep up the great work and keep the boss battles coming :D
I've never heard organs, drums and choir got mixed so well like that before!
This gives me confidence I don’t deserve.
You're one of the most skilled players in my opinon, and your content is really entertaining, always good to see. Thank you for your work.
0:51 I see someone's a fan of Dracula XD
Oh, yeah, I did a No-Hit NKG too (although in the hall of gods). It was really fun and NKG is now my favourite Boss in HK.
Is it just me ore does Grimm look like a cross between Bendy from BatIM and Stolas from Helluva Boss? Kinda badass IMO.
Something that I like about the Grimmchild that I find a little endearing is the fact that it curls up and falls asleep when you sit at a bench. It's oddly adorable.
Nobody is talking about the banger boss music
The second line of drums and choirs that kicks in during the pufferfish attack always give me chills
Grimm is probably one of my favorite characters in all of Hollow Knight.
YES! Its out!
Also the music is Amazing!
That design of the Nightmare King is absolutely amazing!!!!!
Thank you ! It helped me so much ! It bullied me so long, but with your patterns I won easily on the second try.
I love how it goes all Heavy Metal when he puffs up.
That Grimm guy seems like one Helluva Boss.
U mean stolas?
thought the same
I think both have The same reference
This guy is Count Dracula x 10
After I beat the Nightmare King, I couldn't help but appreciate how fun it was. The use of the Nail Arts helped alot, since almost every hit was a charge attack.
Yo I absolutely love how the drums kick in when he does the pufferfish attack, it makes it a 100x more exciting
The way this guy moves makes him feel like a fighting game character.
Grimm was probably controlling the audience while fighting, since they're puppets and all.
Everybody gangsta till you hit Dracula while he's bowing
Grimm is kicking my ass through my mouth...
I am impressed beyond words how easy you make it look!
wait... is he good or evil? i mean he beat the lord of nightmares
Goran Prvulovic i think Nightmare King is like the Evil version of Grimm
[PR]Speedy27 ಠ_ಠ Ironically defeating the Nightmare King is the bad ending for the grimm troupe. The good ending is banishing them and never defeating the king.
I think it's to do with the Grimmchild. If you dream nail Grimm he compliments the Wyrm (aka Pale King) on the current Hollow Knight as the perfect vessel for the heart of Grimm. if I had to guess I would say by defeating Nightmare King he'll be reborn through the Grimmchild as part of the ritual. Then the whole thing starts all over again.
Yellow Pikmin88 I'm trying to figure out the lore of the grimm troupe. What i have so far is that the grimm troupe are nightmares that are embodied by scarlet flame instead of light. The grimm troupe appear when a kingdom is dying and partake in a ritual of feeding the scarlet flame of the dying kingdom to the next nightmare king. All members of the grimm troupe are trapped with the current king whether willingly or not.
So that would make the Grimmchild the future King
The character design is fucking amazing.
It makes me feel so good being able to defeat NKG and seeing troupe master who gave me so much trouble
Am I the only one who's favorite character is Grimm? Also, DANG!!!!! Grimm can certainly put on a show. He and Mettaton would get along. Finally, I bet Grimm might be able to take on the RADIANCE HERSELF!!!!!!!
I like how at least 80% of comment section are just this
YoU dIn'T bOw yOu dIsGRaCe
I just discovered this game and it look cool!
I have a strong Dracula vibe from this boss (and not only from the castlevania series)
This dlc sound track is INSANELY GOOD!
This video holds great educational value.
The animation of the grimmkin clapping is just adorable. But the crowd in the Nightmare King boss fight... They actually look like they're performing some sort of sadist ritual or something. A wee bit disturbing, to say the least.
when they said that if they hit grimm he shrieks and turns into a pufferfish, i thought they were joking 😂 the bow is sacred. respect it!
Grimm reminds me Stolas from Helluva Boss
Worlds best custody fight
