The Grimm Troupe is a DLC for Hollow Knight and is the second out of the four free contents that were released. This DLC was revealed on the 14th of September, 2017 and was released on the 26th of October, 2017 and added in new foes, areas, content, charms, items, and much more to the game.
The Grimm Troupe is an extra chapter of the main game, introducing a mysterious otherworldly group of bugs that appear in Dirtmouth and intend to perform a fiery ritual. This will leave you with the decision of helping the Troupe complete the ritual and to learn more about them, or choose to betray and banish them out of town.
In order to start this quest, you will first need to summon them to the town. Make your way to the Howling Cliffs and through two breakable walls into a tight passage with unlit torches. At the end of the passage, you will see a body of a large beetle clad in a strange mask; you will need to use the Dream Nail to strike it. This will unlock a Dream dialogue and will cause the screen to flash scarlet red. Retrace your steps to the previous area, where a huge torch with a glowing furnace covered by a grate will appear. Strike it multiple times to ignite a blazing scarlet fire from the torch, and the Grimm Troupe will be summoned and have set camp in Dirtmouth.
The Grimm Troupe's main content is composed of new bosses, NPCs, new Charms and a new mini-story to uncover. New enemies (three ranks of ghostly Grimmkin who test the Knight’s skill as part of the flame ritual) were also added, and some changes in the game were included, such as adding a new theme for the menu, The Grimm Troupe‘s blazing scarlet embers. Listed below is all the content that has been added.
