Funny thing, as of now I'm probably better at dealing with bigger enemies this way instead of using regular dodges and blocks, I have to work on that.

This one took a while, mainly due to lots bad rng in most of my attempts (lost count of how many times I got one-shot with the unavoidable shockwave attacks he likes to start phase 2 with), but I finally beat him, here are a few tips for others who might want to try this challenge.
To start with, his second phase in general has plenty of moves that are almost impossible to avoid, like the long-range charge attack if youre too close to him (it has a wide hitbox and seems to autotrack a bit, dodging it is extremely unlikely with those conditions, though its pretty easy if youre far enough from him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpWimQwtLBs), or his air dash to the side (all depends on his positioning, sometimes youll be able to avoid it and sometimes not, here are some examples of when it worked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFYAsRfujJY). Theres also his weird spinning attack, in phase 2 hell sometimes run up to you and use it from a very close range, which is hard to avoid, but can be dodged by simply using a gesture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02n9ofL9-p0
Its also best to keep a moderate distance, but not go too far away from him, as it usually triggers him to do the shockwave attacks. He also sometimes just follows you with his walk animation for way longer than you might have patience for, once he did it to me for close to a minute (I had to go in curved direction because he kept forcing me into arenas corners).
When fighting him, the most beneficial attack he can do is the direct charge from the sky, it gives you two clean shots at him before he recovers, and if he follows the charge with another spear poke, you can follow your first hit with a charged heavy attack like I did at 1:08, while still avoiding that poke due to this attacks silly hitbox when youre close to him. This charged attack is risky though, because if he doesnt follow with another poke (which gives you one more clean hit) he might recover too quickly for you to gain enough distance.
Once you stagger him, the fight is pretty much won, as the damage causes him to transition into 2ng phase, which starts with a massive window for you to just pummel him until he staggers again, and from there its just a matter of one knife riposte/a few regular hits/whatever you prefer.
Shoutouts to Parallax for coming up with this gear setup: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY3mhOzDXCfDrNcdc2Ag9PA
and to Aura for implementing it in his own no sprint fight and being the first person to beat NK with this restriction: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYUoD8RgU_2oSQEbyYSS6Qw")
