charms i used :

grimmchild(required for the fight), shape of unn, sharp shadow, mark of pride and longnail.

the strategy was pretty much simple, though it required alot of attention(especially during his flame pillar attack).

first of all, you are required to learn his attacks in order to win this fight, because since he's so quick, you can't facetank him with quick slash and the lifeblood charms.

with sharpshadow, i could dash safely and deal damge through uppercut if i'm stuck in a corner, if i was at the center of the arena, i would usually attack, dash back, avoid his uppercut once i dash back, and dodge the fires.

mark of pride and longnail were the MVPs of this fight, with them i could hit NKG safely from a distance, which turned out to be extremely useful in his bat attack and dive.

with his dive attack, i would jump, nailbounce on him, dash to his next dash and nailbounce him(only when i wasn't playing it safe, if you nailbounce him on his 2nd dash at the wrong moment his hitbox will increase touching and dealing damage to you) or i would nailbounce at his first dive then double jump over the fire.

bat attack is really simple, you dash through the middle, if you're near him and he's still firing some of his bats(while not in range for him to teleport) quickly press Z or the button that you use to jump in keyboard/controller, and then start attacking him, this will get you either 1-2 hits on him.

you already know what to do in his spike attack

for healing, however shape of unn was an interesting option, because, in his flame pillar attack, if i performed correctly, i could use shape of unn to heal myself around 2 or 3 masks with the soul i had, however, because of the way shape of unn works, everytime you end your heal, you stop for a bit, and then go back to grubby grub form if you hold your healing button, and with that, if you stop at a time where his flame pillar spawns, you will take damage and that 2-3 masks you just healed will be wasted time that you could've used to strike NKG 1-2 times

flame spawner is panic time, you just have to keep dodging, try to make short hops over some of the fireballs so you don't overshoot and hit the fireball above you.

the thing that won this fight for me is the shape of unn healing, with that, i could heal the damage i had taken and finally beat NKG.

without a doubt, one of the best fights in the game, since you really need to learn his attacks and use them in your advantage to win this fight.
