There is a rather different tactic possible against Grym using an all-Ranged setup using the terrain to your advantage. Grym has no ranged attacks of any kind, so if you can shoot it from positions it can't reach you can slowly but surely destroy Grym without even getting wounded. NOTE, to be able to use this tactic and then keep the ability to use the Forge for making equipment you will need at least one character who can cast [[Grant Flight]]; the forge cannot be raised back up again after being lowered, so a Flying character will be needed to load the mold, crucible and then activate the two levers to create Adamantine equipment after the fight. | There is a rather different tactic possible against Grym using an all-Ranged setup using the terrain to your advantage.

On approach to the forge, note the stairway you are coming down on and the second pathway to the right of it. When the forge is lowered, ranged characters (both magic users and archers) can hit nearly the entire forge floor where Grym can move, and characters on the entry stairway can also hit the Lava | On approach to the forge, note the stairway you are coming down on and the second pathway to the right of it.

Characters on the right position will not be able to reach the Lava Valve to Superheat Grym to make it vulnerable to damage. However, there is a section of raised floor just under the left position that Grym can stand on and it will not get Superheated, so you will need to keep it lured to the Right position to keep it vulnerable to damage; there is no safe floor area for Grym at that spot. | ||

It may take a little while, but you will be able to drop Grym without getting wounded and without needing to use the forge hammer, which is needed for obtaining an Achievement (listed below). | ||
