Beating Final Performance on the elevator phase.

[Mr.NoNa]

So... yeah. I needed to find out.

It's not actually possible because the boss will regain health when it gets very low, but you can obliterate it very quickly.

For people who had trouble with this fight, this could probably be done with a Dex build as well (unfortunately, I don't think it would work with Resonance weapons).

[Mr.NoNa]

Also, the only relevant traits for this fight were Wretch, the ones that restore/ increase force and the one that lets you keep all ardor in case you die.

Thanks for trying this out!
Did you think about using the item that gives one attack +100% damage? You could use this on the very least attack and see if it does kill it.
You could also maybe couple thatwith the trait that increases your damage when you pulled an enemy? (If i recall there's a trait like this, not 100% sure)

[Mr.NoNa]

Unfortunately, I tried using that item before but dind't help much because the damage I did wasn't big enough to take down the remaining health.

As for the trait, I did have it active, but since you're not pulling the boss and you're self-pulling on the yellow orbs, it doesn't activate.

Once there's a way to respec, I will definitely try again with other builds. Like, maybe redistribute the few points of health I had into Str/Resonance (as Jaw Axe scales from both) and maybe some force points as well and get the higher levels of the force increasing trait instead (though I would have to farm for more hunt points because I was missing a lot in this run).

I really want to check if I can do more damage with Chisel Nails + item+ special, though it will not kill the performer on the elevator either. But maybe I can't take it down before he makes a move with his scythe.

[KGS]

you can't do this didn't you hear that str builds suck

[Mr.NoNa]

Try to replicate this with a Resonance build and then we can talk :)

[Snarf]

Nice! The Jaw Axe is amazing, I used it on the final boss as well and it utterly destroyed him.

[Mr.NoNa]

Yeah! I really loved Chisel Nails my first time through the game even if they have a somewhat simplistic moveset. But then I tried Jaw Axe and it became my new fav.

[WarriorTomb]

Looks like i suck at this. I just given up. Becouse this is good boss fight, for a hollow knight.

I also love the jaw axe, it feels very rewarding.
Have you tried the shapely greatsword? I love its special, it does lots of damage when it connects!

Yeah, I have, but I've never used it as my main. The special is really cool, though I wish you didn't get it so late, when there are not that many bosses left (and if you've been exploring, not that many prey to hunt for).
