=== Throwing water tactic ===
Similar to ranged bombardment, but exploiting Grym's weakness to Bludgeoning damage, the extra damage applied for "gravity" when throwing from a great height, and the easy availability of water jugs. In this version leave three party members up on the entrance steps, supplied with lots of [[Water]] bottles; their job is to the throw water at Grym. Because thrown water does Bludgeoning damage and will have a gravity bonus when thrown from up high, Grym will take 20+ damage on most hits, and even most "misses" because of the gravity applied to the water spread. The fourth party member will remain on the platform to operate it and keep Grym standing in the lava, and should have access to rapid movement spells like [[Misty Step]]. When only party member is on the platform, Grym will ignore any threat assessment and pursue the single accessible character. It is probably most efficient to keep Grym lured toward always standing in the lava, rather than attempting to use the forge hammer, as regaining Superheated status can sometimes prove a challenging maneuver. Obviously this throwing technique can also be used while keeping all four party members "up top" as in the above method, gaining more safety but making maneuvering Grym into the lava a little more challenging.
