Well my strategy tips after few hour of formulatig strategy:

1. Whole battle, similarly to his first form, is all about reading what attack is coming and knowing how to dodge and/or retaliate. The only catch is that he is A LOT faster this time and windows for attack are smaller (or in case of Cape completely removed).

2. Firebats: wait for 3rd Bat (to avoid Teleport) and jump and dash between them and try to attack NK with normal slashes or hit with Dash Slash during dash.

3. Dive: jump high into air and avoid fire (don't try to attack during this attack)

4. Dash uppercut: for first dash away from NK, then slash him when he dashes close to you (or Great Slash him) but before he jumps into air. For fireballs try to be on ground right next to point he explodes in air as your only worry then is fireball falling straight down.

5. Cloak Spikes and Fame Spewer: simply avoid them by moving into correct space.

6. Flame pillar: just keep slowly moving in one direction so pillars will erupt behind you. Do go too slow or to fast and try avoiding being stuck in corner of arena (if necessary Shadow Dash through Pillar). During that movement try to pass and hit NK few times or wait till 4th pillar erupts and then charge him and try to get as many (or one Great Slash) before he warps away.

 7. Self Healing: without charms or Deep Focus only during stagger, with Shape of Unn and/or Quick Focus during Pillars (can be hard), with Quick Focus during Cape or after 4th Pillar.

For charms:

<p class="MsoNormal">1. Nailmaster Glory - if you prefer Nail Arts,

<p class="MsoNormal">2. Fragile/Undestructable Strength - for more Nail dmg,

<p class="MsoNormal">3. Shaman Stone + Flukenest - for spell dmg (hard since need to be close to hitt with all flukes)

<p class="MsoNormal">4. Dreamshield - blocks Bats and Firespawner and sometimes NK as he passes next to Knight

<p class="MsoNormal">5. Sharp Shadow: helps with atacking during Bats since your dash is slightly longer and it's easier to hit NK form farther distances

<p class="MsoNormal">UNRECOMENDED: Grimchild since during that boss it does nothing.
