You can't stop what's coming
I wouldn’t worry about it. You can always double back (much, much) later if you run out of stuff to do.

Actual question time though, is the Grimm Troupe worth going down? I just unlocked them today and thought the Grimmchild charm sounded cool so I got the first upgrade and beat the three enemies for the second upgrade (which led to me finding Kingdom's Edge to explore) but Grimm so utterly crushed me on my first attempt I kind of don't want to bother even trying again for a long time unless it's worth it. The first upgrade of the Grimmchild charm is kind of underwhelming and I'm not sure what else I'll get out of them.

If you have suitable charms unlocked, the normal Grimm fight can be trivialized and done in 30 seconds by just spamming the upwards-going damage spell, he goes down in about 30 seconds. His nightmare version is a different story. As to whether it's worth it, it depends, do you want more charms that give you pets? They can be fun, but you can also just as well play the game as a master swordsman and never worry about it.

Dealing with the... Lady of the Grimm troupe is definitely worth it though, you should finish her quest before taking down Grimm himself.

That's the one, I believe. It's a ton of grinding but the rewards are the best in the game. Might not be worth the time investment, depending on what else you need to fight/do.

Wait are we talking about the Unbreakable versions of Strength, Heart, and Greed?

'Cause uhhh I'd say only go for those for the sake of completionism if you want. Like, they are absolutely the very last thing I would ever spend Geo on.

Yeah, you get G then S then H if you can stomach the grind again. S is pretty useful, though. I mean for amateurs like me.

A golden helix streaked skyward from the Helvault. A thunderous explosion shattered the silver monolith and Avacyn emerged, free from her prison at last.

Oh no, my precious geo.

I would say it depends. If you're Not Very Good At Platformers (like me!), there's plenty of bosses in the late game where just DPSing them becomes much more viable with those things. And as said above, you're swimming in Geo at that point even if you suck. Haven't the devs stated that the reason for her outrageous on their face prices are because there isn't anything to use geo in the "base" game later on?

I organically had already bought everything by the end of the game so having a post game Geo sink while I cleaned up collectibles and grubs was good.

Even if you clear out Grimm, Divine will stay around until you've bought all her stuff, so you don't need to do that first.

Unbreakable charms don't even help for the hardest parts of the game, since that's all in dreams and your charms don't break in dreams.

Buy G last because unless you break it several dozen times, making it unbreakable is a geo loss.

The last minute decision to scrap the platforming antics and release Silksong as an otome game was a controversial choice to be sure, but one that I’m convinced will pay off in terms of sales.
