Walkthrough

1
Follow Grinexx as it swims in the lava. Wait for an opening in the wire mesh and use the Ice Rod to drop an ice block on it. You can hit it 2-3 times per opportunity.
2
Dodge the erupting lava pillars by memorizing their four fixed locations.
3
After a few hits, Grinexx will spew lava and chase you. Dodge this by running in circles around the central opening.
4
Grinexx will eventually tire and return to the lava. Repeat the ice block strategy.
5
Once Grinexx has taken enough damage, it will leap onto the arena, and the gaps will close.
6
Grinexx will now attack by elongating its neck and snapping its fangs.
7
To win without taking damage: Stand in a far corner and repeatedly fire arrows at Grinexx (around a 45-degree angle). The boss cannot hit you if you stay put.
8
Continue attacking until Grinexx is defeated. The energy gauge refills when Grinexx clams up and bounces.
9
Alternatively, for a hands-on approach: Keep moving to avoid the snapping head and strike its head with your sword, bow, or Ice Rod after it attacks. Be aware Grinexx can sidestep quickly.
10
Grinexx will withdraw into its shell and spin across the room. Stay in the corners to avoid this.
11
Later, Grinexx will gather air and perform a large pressured air attack. Keep your distance, retreating to a corner.
12
Nearing defeat, Grinexx may shoot its head out twice during its snapping attack. Wait until after the second attack before engaging.
13
Once Grinexx is defeated, grab the heart container and Impa’s Painting.
