Nightmare God Grimm: A mod by Katie to turn Nightmare King Grimm into... an ACTUAL nightmare.

I also have the Metal OST mod by maskedcreeper10 and RYS because... well it's good, and it fits.
The really cool NKG Metal soundtrack was done by ‪@RYSmusic‬ (everyone knows this already):

The Little Grimm skin (installed with CustomKnight) was created by _yukawa_, and can be found below:

Minor note: The NKG sprite used for the thumbnail was from Nickc01's Inferno King Grimm mod sprites.

At the beginning of 2025 (yes, last year, not a typo), I was reminded of NGG's existence, thanks to Cranky's video being recommended on my feed. I decided to spend some hours into it, but eventually, I had to put it off to sometime later, so i could work on other stuff (Rock Bottom, mainly) and pretty much forgot about it entirely.
In the recent struggle for content ideas, tho, I thought of this mod again, and thank the gods that I still had the reflex for this fight, cuz having to get used to the constant spike attacks was just insufferable.

Speaking of, yeah uhhh... this fight wasn't fun. Obviously.
This was an extremely, EXTREMELY tedious challenge. You pretty much have to pay 80% of your attention to the spikes every 2 seconds WHILE another NKG is lunging at you.
The boss fight has a health pool of 3200, which, for those unfamiliar, is actually MORE than twice the HP in the normal NKG fight, which is also to say, it drags on incredibly long.

What's worse is that I didn't even know the boss is able to deal 4 masks of dmg instead of 2, from the second pufferfish attack (this wasn't even consistent btw, sometimes the boss still deals 2 masks, and that annoys me so much)
Had I actually read Cranky's video description, I'd have saved myself so much time and confusion.
Oh yes, and then there's the last phase.
Having to deal 800 damage is theoretically a simple thing, because if you hit 2 bosses at the same time, you get double the damage and speed things up.
That is unless they both happen to be NKG, who teleports all around the arena and makes it an absolute RNG fest. Horrible stuff, I tell you.

Shape of Unn defo carried the fight here, and it's good to see a somewhat niche charm being utilized for a modded boss, which hasn't happened in a while.

Still, the entire thing probably took more than 12 hours, 5 of which were dedicated to just getting used to the spike attacks from last year.

Anyway, I'm happy I can get this off the bucket list, I wouldn't have liked to leave this unchecked when I'm out on military.
Also, shoutout to the Radiance light sprite for carrying this thumbnail.
