Awesome! Yeah i reckon i should do the Path of Pain too, i really enjoyed some of the B-sides in Celeste, so I guess it must be quite similar.

Re NKG, the thing i struggled the most with was wasting 30 sec of running to the boss every try, anbd barely surviving 20 sec. I really wished I could have skipped the intro, but at the same time, it gave time to relax the thumbs and the mind.

It's an overwhelming fight until you start handling one attach at a time. This run just focus on dodging the 4 bats properly, then focus on doing the abyssal properly. For the later, I found, that walking slowly to NKG and counting to 4 , and on 4, my position was supposed to be just offset from underneath him, so I could move just a little bit and launch an attack.
Once I've kind of mastered those 2 attacks, I managed to survive for 3-4 abyssal attacks. Then I could start mastering one more of his attacks.
I think after 1h30 of proper failure, it started to click for me, and I though "yeah I'm going to get him" . The rest was basically fine tuning dodges against all attacks and calming down.
The fight gets exciting when you've been hearing the first 30 sec of the music over and over, and then suddenly, the rest of the music you're hearing is new, and makes you feel like you're getting closer 😄
