[[The Adamantine Forge]] itself can also be weaponized against Grym, causing it to hammer Grym for 150 damage if it can be lured towards the central anvil while Superheated. Make sure to keep at least one party member by the lava valve  since the lava will receded, making the golem practically invincible.

Before the fight it is wise to spread out your party, putting your casters back and melee up front at 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, turn on Turn-Base Mode to prepare more short turn buffs. It is almost a must to give one of your melee characters [[Haste]] just for the extra attack and added [[Armour Class|AC]]. Applying weapon oils such as the [[Oil of Accuracy]] will give useful improvement to [[Attack Roll|Attack]]. Lastly, ensure your using attacks that deal {{DamageType|Bludgeoning}}, as Grym will take double damage from it.
