Troubleshooting Grym

[Super Cosmic Space Magnet]

Hello reader,

I did a whoopsie on an Honour Mode run. While fighting Grym I picked up the item I created in the forge mid-fight but then had to EVAC my party because I was getting my butt whooped.

The platform is now down and Grym is standing there alive, but the wheel to turn the lava back on is stuck and won't work. I cannot fight him :( Is there a fix? I'd go back to a previous save, but Honour Mode so I can't. I've tried mapping out of the whole zone, as well as relaunching the game.

Have you tried the owlbear bodyslam cheese yet?

The lever does still drop the hammer, but that's not useful.

The mold ejection lever does still activate.

The button to raise the platform does not work because Grym is on the platform.

The wheel to move the lava does not work because I think the game thinks the platform is raised.

No, I prefer not to use cheese unless I've come up with it by myself. I think I'll have to do something like that if I can't bugfix though :(

Sounds like you bugged the event. You could just wait until you get to Act 3 and get some better gear than it offers if you don't get it corrected.

You might have to load the platform with a mithtil more if you still have the second one to see if that will release the wheel for the lava.

Get the attention of Grym to near where you are and rain down arrows on him. Slowly, painfully, you'll eventually terminate it... Then use feather fall to go down to pick up loot. It can be destroyed with arrows, he won't be able to hit you but it'll take a lot of patience and NEXT TURN clicking... I know I did that, what I can't remember was how or why did the lava remained active so he was still vulnerable... It was a weird battle. Honour mode, went the wrong way, party was being mauled... I retreated with one using a spell, to the top of the platform and noticed I could still damage it from high above so I just kept going... Maybe it was a bug, dunno... Still, if you feather fall you can get back into the battle, down there.

I had this problem as well, putting the 2nd mithril into the machine fixed it for me.

You can't damage it at all unless it is heated*, and you can't get it heated unless you can turn the lava on. I believe that is what the OP is saying is the problem here.

* According to the wiki it is resistant to cold and thunder but not immune, so I suppose you could try to see if you could damage it that way. But also according to the wiki it is immune to all damage. So ... I'm not sure which part of the wiki is correct.

Yeah, I know, but when my party was almost but killed, in Honour, I withdrew with one to the top of the platform, with a spell, and, for some reason, the lava never went away so I just kept hitting it from above and I destroyed it eventually.

Dang it :( Oh well, at least I know to just move on. Thanks for the answer!
