This is a very quick and easy U3 (It) damageless strategy for no merchant runs.
Howdy, I'm Spiral_out and I do hitless runs (mainly Sekiro, Hollow Knight, and RE4) on Twitch 5 days a week starting at 10:30 AM Eastern US time.
The trick for knifing first phase is to start knifing sorta between the legs and to rotate with U3 so you can basically just run forward when it attacks. You can safely get 4 slashes if U3 just rotates one step, and it's actually better than going for 2 or 3 slashes because U3 will rotate far less and will have a more predictable position. The worst thing that can happen is he ends up trapping you near a wall, but thankfully you can use the Broken Butterfly to move him to a better position when that happens (I do this in the fight). Second phase is pretty much free, just get 7 slashes after the phase transition (I think 6 is fine, not sure), and then 4 incendiaries and the two explosive barrels will finish the fight.

I wasnt happy with the other Geni 2 kill using the Mist Raven, so I decided to try it sword only and got it first try, lol.")

You have to get the quick headshot immediately to keep him from charging, but that can be done without even aiming by just immediately recalling your axe and throwing straight ahead (it must be the heavy throw). You also dont want to be too fast in running up to him, or he may stomp rather than roar. The most important thing is to make sure that the Grendel doesnt get stuck on the pile of rubbish, or the other Grendel will hit you. Youll always be safe from the other one if you make it around the pile, though, because it will always charge straight up the middle and then will just walk slowly over to the right towards you.")

Fuck Im so bad at second phase lmao. I had a lot of extremely close calls, and I also kept thinking the lasers were gonna be giant meatballs towards the end and I missed a lot of punishes. Insanely slow and bad, plz ignore.")

Just make sure you dont break the leg chain with the Rotten Breath (its pretty easy), and if youre not sure you got much damage to the chain, just hit it once or twice with the Reduvia. The right leg hits are just to build up a bit of bleed, but you can use the weapon art up to 4 times on the left leg and still have enough FP for a dragonmaw. If you get 2 dragonmaw hits to the weakspot and a bleed, and break the chain around 8k, first phase is guaranteed to end before you have to deal with any fire shenanigans.")

I rerouted early game and didnt get the crackers before ogre, which saves over a minute to Gyoubu and 30-40 seconds overall. However, I got trolled so goddamn hard by Bull that almost all that timesave was lost lol. Still, solid run.")

Ive never ever had the troll instastomp like that, I underestimated how much the camera would be swinging there and ended up running right into him. I also managed to dodge during the agile strike exactly at the moment he stomped, miraculously avoiding damage. I will gladly take a lucky break though! Overall theres a bit of general sloppiness, but that will hopefully be smoothed out with practice.")

Elden Beast seems to be cooperating with this strat, at least so far. I actually dont need the starlight shard at all, thats just muscle memory from the previous patch.")
