Combat Tactics

Grym is immune to all types of damage and can send melee attackers Reeling. Its Adamantine Skin passive causes Grym to be unable to take damage until it has been Superheated by standing in lava. This will also remove its Intense Adamantine Backlash passive. Once superheated, Damage TypesBludgeoning damage is most effective against Grym.

New Resistances when superheated:Resistant to all SlashingResistant to all PiercingVulnerable to BludgeoningResistant to all AcidResistant to all ThunderImmune to all NecroticImmune to all FireImmune to all LightningResistant to all ColdImmune to all PsychicImmune to all PoisonImmune to all RadiantResistant to all Force

Grym's Vengeful Guardian passive causes it to gain the condition Threat Assessment when attacked which will then mark the attacker with Primary Target. Grym will then chase and attack the creature, which can be utilised to lure the golem into lava - or even beneath the hammer of the The Adamantine Forge itself. Pulling the forge lever while Grym is standing on the central anvil will hammer it for 150 damage and knock it Prone. However, using the forge to damage Grym immediately removes Grym's Superheated condition and can even summon a group of Magma Mephits. Regardless of your approach, keep at least one party member by the lava valve, since the lava will recede after two turns, making the golem invincible again.

Before the fight it is wise to spread out your party, placing your casters in the back and melee up front near the gate where Grym will appear. Using elixirs such Elixir of Hill Giant Strength and Elixir of the Colossus will give a notable boost for your melee fighters. Before turning the valve, ensure all party members are standing on raised areas and enter Turn-Based Mode to prepare additional short duration buffs. It is almost a must to give one of your melee characters Haste for the extra attack and added AC. Applying weapon oils such as the Oil of Accuracy helps boost your Attack Rolls high enough to more easily beat Grym's high AC. Lastly, ensure you use weapons that deal Damage TypesBludgeoning damage to exploit Grym's vulnerability.

Notes and Trivia

  • There is a Steam achievement (A Grym Fate) for defeating Grym without using the forge hammer. Despite its large amount of HP and high AC, proper preparation with Damage TypesBludgeoning weapons on a Hastened Fighter and/or Barbarian can quickly wear it down.
