How to beat Grym forge guy boss EASY!!!

[badreny]

Setup one member at each circle, bait him into the middle for the first time by using party member at the lever and throw a random item at him AFTER he using that rage looking move 1st turn and he will go to the forge hammer. Use that same party member to activate it, and the use a tank to pick off as many flying things as possible before they get annoying. After the robot mech gets up bait him into the lava by throwing stuff at him until he gets superheated and then use any party member to jump under the hammer. After you get under the hammer you need to throw an item at him to get his attention like you've been doing before to get him to kill you while you are under the hammer. Once hes under the hammer either pull or shoot the lever and he will die. If he doesn't die and has a little health left just load and try again or do enough damage to kill him normally. After hes dead make sure to pick up your party member/members so they dont die. EDIT: many people are smart in the replies, drop a potion before you smash yourself and grym and you will heal yourself automatically. very msart o fyou guys

tbh thats still the hardest boss I think in this game. Its strange its just some optional boss that isnt important really lorewise is tougher than fighting an avatar of a god and his minions. or even beating the BBEG

I managed to squash him once under that hammer,but it caused zero damage to him, unlike one of my characters who was standing nearby but not under the hammer, they unfortunately died instantly.
so am i right in thinking forge boss must be superheated then crushed ?

yes... he has to be superheated 1st.... i mashed on him for like 15 mins with the forge doing no damage before realizing he had to be superheated

Honestly Grym is an easy fight if you use the hammer. He is harder without it if you're going for the achievement.

Honestly, the hardest boss in the game for me was a particular Devil in Act 3.

I could never quite get him on the stand for the hammer. He would always be just very slightly off so I just kept spamming magic missile and then cantrips while running away.

I didnt think he was very hard but playing magic classes does give you a lot of options. If I was using fighters...yeah that would be a bit of a pain. Err although I wonder if I could tank and beat him with Karlach if built right.

The trick to get him on the hammer is to actually stand on the edge but on the opposite side of him. He will voluntarily walk on it. Or you can stand on the outer edge of the hammer.

Another trick is dropping potions next you so the hammer can crush you, Grym and the potion together.

I just beat that dude like a half hour ago. Baiting him is easier said than done....but....in the end, the big hammer did in fact kill him.

Prior to that, I got party wiped a couple times before figuring out his lava weakness.

That was the only truly challenging fight so far IMO. Some other stuff was challenging, but not even close to that.

[DarthVishis]

The important factors are ...

1. He attacks the last person to damage him. So be careful with reactions like opportunity strike. It will reset his prime target.

2. He is vulnerable to bludgeoning when superheated. To superheat, get him in the lava. Any party member wirlth a hammer can kill him. Using the forge hammer is lol but not necessary.

[buttawise]

Easiest boss fight ever if you have 2 people with bludgeoning weapons.

Just drop a potion when you have to stand under the hammer. It gets crushed when the hammer gets down and auto-revives the character...

Anyroads I just read the obvious here. His Gryms mechanics are not that hard to understand if you observe normal.

I beat the golem without hammer in my first run. When I see the achivement I immediately go to youtube to see how it's intended to be beaten and oh boy do I dumb.

[Lanilen]

I only realized I could use the hammer on him after I got the achievement for not using it.

Command: Grovel
You don't even need to use the hammer.
