Nightmare King Grimm, but I'm invisible.

Published 2024-02-18

A while ago, I did Pure Vessel with an invisible player character. This time, I decided to do Nightmare King Grimm. With a visible character, I'm better at this fight than Pure Vessel, but I found the invisibility to be the other way around. This fight has a few attacks that are especially difficult in this challenge.

This was my 6th attempt at this challenge; of the previous 7 the stats mod shows, the 1 win and 1 of the deaths were both practice with a visible skin. The main points of my strategy are below, under "Strategy".

STRATEGY ►
- Follow the dust trail of your footsteps more closely than anything else on the screen. Trust your peripheral vision to track the boss and projectiles most of the time. Try to stay on the ground and keep moving as much as possible. Jitter slightly to produce some dust so you know where you are.
- Don't go for hits on the dive dash attack. Without longnail, it's really easy to misjudge this and fall into the boss or the fire trail. You'll notice I didn't go for any hits on this attack; just evade it with shade dash.
- Stay towards the centre of the arena. Particularly on Godhome, the veiny-things in the background at the sides can make it difficult to track the dust of your footsteps, and at the very edge of the arena, on the spike attack, there are spikes that appear down and off the side and are much harder to see. This caused the one hit I took in this fight.
- Try to keep a little bit of soul so you can use descending dark if you think you're about to be hit. It has a bit of wind-up but the i-frames once you dive can be a life saver. Spell twister helps with this.
- For the pufferfish attack, it might just be personal preference, but I find it much easier to handle from the left side of the arena. This attack in general is mainly about having learned the timings with a visible skin and trusting in muscle memory.
