Grimmchild

Usefulness
The Grimmchild summons a Grimmchild familiar that grows stronger as the charm progresses through its phases. It also allows the Knight to activate both boss fights as it is needed to fight Troupe Master Grimm and to Dream Nail Grimm when he is sleeping in order to fight Nightmare King Grimm.

After the Knight has summoned the Troupe in Howling Cliffs, they can go to Dirtmouth where two tents and many signs have now appeared. The larger of the tents holds the Troupe Master Grimm. Speaking to him will begin the ritual. He will appear in the centre of the room, granting the Knight the Grimmchild charm and a task to "seek out the three flames" and "harvest them". With Grimmchild equipped, the Knight can now travel through Hallownest to fight and defeat three Grimmkin Novices, which will be absorbed into the level one Grimmchild. Returning to Grimm will reward with the Grimmchild being upgraded and the Knight is left with another task to seek out three more flames and harvest them as well.

The quest is almost identical to the previous one, except the flames are much further from Stag Stations and deeper into Hallownest, as well as Grimmkin Masters replace the previous Novices. Once they have been harvested and absorbed into the Grimmchild, the Knight can return to Grimm, which will result in a boss fight with Grimm. Once Grimm has been defeated, he will reward the Knight with another Grimmchild upgrade, a charm notch, and another task to seek out three more flames to harvest.

This final task is much more difficult than the previous two. The three flames are very deep into Hallownest, and the difficult Grimmkin Nightmares are the foes guarding the flames. There is also a fourth flame in Deepnest, though it requires no combat and provides the Knight with a choice from Brumm. Brumm offers the Knight to join him to end the Ritual and defy his master. After this point, either of the following endings will lock out the other per each save.

When equipped, the Grimmchild will float around behind the Knight. In its first phase, it does nothing else. Collecting Flames from Grimmkin Novices, Grimmkin Masters and Grimmkin Nightmares will allow the player to upgrade it to Phases 2, 3, and 4. In these phases, the Grimmchild shoots a fireball at enemies that deal increasing damage at each Phase.

How to Acquire
Given by Grimm after the Grimm Troupe has been summoned.
