Learn how to defeat the Grym boss in Baldur's Gate 3's Adamantine Forge. This guide covers strategy, mechanics, and tips for this challenging encounter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Preparation: Before activating the Adamantine Forge, ensure one party member stands on the mould injector, two are near the hammer lever, and one is at the lava lever.
  2. 2
    Initiate Fight: Pull the lava wheel to start the encounter. The character on the mould injector should draw Grym's initial aggro.
  3. 3
    Lava Management: Continuously refresh the lava flow using the lava lever. This applies a 'super-heated armor' debuff to Grym, making it vulnerable to damage.
  4. 4
    Hammer & Anvil: Once Grym is positioned under the hammer and anvil mechanism, have a character pull the hammer lever. This deals approximately 150 damage, makes Grym prone, and shifts aggro to the lever puller. Local elementals and magma critters will also appear.
  5. 5
    Sustained Combat: Maintain the 'super-heated armor' debuff and continue managing lava flow. Deal with the adds that spawn.
  6. 6
    Baiting and Damage: If Grym's aggro shifts away from your intended targets, use stealth, healing, or taunts (like a Paladin's Compelled Duel) to re-establish control. Lure Grym back to the anvil. The character on the mould injector can be kitted with healing potions or stealth abilities if they become the primary target.
  7. 7
    Repeat: Once Grym is back in position and the lava is flowing, pull the hammer lever again. Repeat steps 3-6 approximately three times to defeat Grym.
Tips
  • The character controlling the lava flow should ideally be a ranged or spellcaster to also deal with adds.
  • If the bait character on the mould is swarmed, use healing potions, grenades, elixirs, or stealth skills. A Cleric's Healing Touch can be useful.
  • If Grym's aggro switches to a critter in the lava while near the anvil, it can be a favorable situation.
  • Use strong ranged spells or poisoned weapons on Grym when it's vulnerable.
  • Be prepared for the fight to take multiple tries due to its challenging nature and the need for precise positioning and spell usage.
