![]() ![]() Alternatively, there could be Easter eggs scattered about to suggest the Grimm Troupe visited Pharloom long ago, leaning on how far-reaching the Nightmare Realm's impact has been. Perhaps Hollow Knight: Silksong could canonize Brumm's betrayal so that a new take on this same quest becomes more tense and dangerous - the Nightmare's Heart desperate to renew itself after losing its chance in Hallownest. Given Hornet played no part in The Grimm Troupe DLC, she could find a new Nightmare Lantern hidden somewhere in Pharloom and have a unique interaction with this traveling circus. One of Brumm's regrets is how the ritual "profanes this dark, quiet Kingdom" that he wishes could be left to rest in peace. The Nightmare's Heart needs to endlessly replenish itself through this dark ritual, and it's implied that the Troupe's travel through dreams has led them all over wherever and whenever a Nightmare Lantern is lit. Whether the Grimm Troupe is able to complete its ritual or is banished from Hallownest, acolytes of the Nightmare Realm aren't finished in Hollow Knight's universe. While additional abilities like dashing and spells will make this fight much easier to tackle, this boss is simple enough to be conquered without them. If The Knight follows his advice and destroys the original Nightmare Lanturn, the Grimm Troupe will disappear and a unique Carefree Melody Charm can be obtained through Nymm, who bears a close resemblance to Brumm. There's also an alternate ending in which players talk to Brumm, who expresses exhaustion at the repetition of the ritual that has enslaved them. However, the Grimm Troupe's circus disappears before The Knight wakes up from his battle, never to be seen again. Normal enemies will drop one essence as a rare drop on death (chance is on the order of a few percent). Spirits immediately give one essence each upon striking them with the Dream Nail. Once the flames have been gathered and The Knight defeats Grimm in a test of strength, players can use the Dream Nail to enter the Nightmare Realm and face Nightmare King Grimm - a boss so imposing he gets the only full-screen title card other than the Radiance.ĭefeating the Nightmare King allows his spirit to be reincarnated through the Grimmchild, continuing an endless cycle. Dream Bosses are harder variants of previously beaten bosses which upon completion reward 300-400 essence. The Knight is provided a Charm that summons a short-term companion, the Grimmchild, who must consume three Nightmare Flames kept by acolyte enemies that spawn across Hallownest. ![]() Through bits of conversation and documents, players learn the Grimm Troupe comes from the Nightmare Realm, traveling wherever they are summoned to perpetually extend the life of their master: the Nightmare's Heart. ![]()
