Grand Performance

Defeat Troupe Leader Grimm. Kick off the Grimm Troupe questline by lighting the Nightmare Lantern in Dirtmouth (once the troupe has arrived), then feed Grimmchild by collecting Flames - defeat the Grimmkin Novices scattered across three areas. Grimm then challenges you in his tent: a spectacular, fiery boss who teleports, dashes behind a pufferfish flare, throws fire bats and rains spikes. Learn his teleport tells and punish after the dash. This is the fork point - afterwards you go for either Ritual or Banishment.
