Left out an important piece unless it was added later. The guardian is vulnerable to bludgeoning ONLY when there is lava flowing and he's walking through it. His legs will glow. After you hit him the first time with the hammer, the lava will go away and he will no longer be vulnerable to bludgeoning. If you hit him with the hammer again, it won't do any damage, but will knock him over. So, you have to reopen the valve again and let the lava flow again before you can do more damage to him with the hammer. Otherwise he'll just be immune to everything.
TIPS: You can stay safely above where Grym cant reach, and toggle the forge valve (lava) and lever (hammer) with ranged attacks. You can lure Grym onto the pedestal with either minor illusion spells, or sacrificial summons - Grym will immediately attack them when they appear. You can slow his movement with a slow spell to buy more time under the hammer before he moves away and has to be re-lured back onto it. REMEMBER: To be vulnerable at all, Grym must be re-heated after EVERY hit of the hammer, so you need to alternate between the lever and valve. I'll try to edit and upload a clip shortly ...
I had the gloves that give electric damage on my monk and blew through him in like 4 turns, I didn't even realize you could use the hammer until I got an achievement for not using it lol
I swear none of this is working for me. He won’t step on the middle platform, they keep walking into lava when I try to get them to move, it’s a nightmare lol. I hope I get it.
THANKS for showing how to knock him back into the lava. Cos the lava disappears as soon as he gets in the middle and I have no way to do damage after the first hammer swing
I played on "Tactician" and he had 450 hp and was immune to everything except the forge. I managed to hit him 4x and finish it! I used a combination of potions of vaulting for 3 chars, potions of fire resistance for all, plus a couple fire resist scrolls (prob overkill as I only took 2 separate hits), a couple haste scrolls. One char had 2 misty step skills, another had 1. I used a smoke bomb on the imps to kill most of them in one hit. He had to be lured to the outer edges which was tricky but it helped to let the lava disappear twice and the other 2 times I took a hit on the outer edge of the platform. Arrow of Roaring Thunder was helpful as it has an explosion that doesn't miss when switching the target. At the end I threw Connor's zombie into the middle to help stop him overshooting the platform. 😂Great quest.
If you kill the guardian with the hammer, he will be dead under it and you will be able to craft at least up to 3 adamantine items :D you just have to search for the ingredients around the map Thanks for the guide tho, it helped a lot
Playing this game second time I just grab 4 warriors to this fight, (my main, Leizel + 2 new recruits from skeleton guy), give them all 2handed hammers, then having 4 warriors with 4 attacks I just killed him on very first turn.
Question to the first few minutes of the guide... Is this beta or something? Because my astarian casually turned the valve while you say nobody can do that.

He is currently walking around in the lava but he is not weakened, am I doing something wrong or is my game bugged?
@@Vesti2 He was immune to everything except the forge for me on "Tactician" difficulty.

this boss fight makes me wanna throw my head in a wall thanks for the guide tho
I have done this mission multiple times and never remember. Thanks for the audio and visual
Impressed to see you've made such progress while continuing progress on the rest of the gaming!

Nice!
On what skill level?
Just normal
You are the only reason I got through that fight without dying a thousand times. Big thanks!!
Thanks for the guidance!
Thank you for that. I stopped playing last May because I couldn’t get past this part. I couldn’t figure it out.
Same 😭😭😭😭 i haven't played bg3 since September for this very same reason, i lost my party twice trying to do this quest 😭💔
I swear none of this is working for me. He won’t step on the middle platform, they keep walking into lava when I try to get them to move, it’s a nightmare lol. I hope I get it.
You get it yet?! 😱
@@freewithnature yeah I gave up on using the Forge and just destroyed him right where the fight started. it was over relatively quickly after that.

dudeee i didnt even know you could do that with the hammer. I was strugglingg. Guess i should have watched the rest of the vid

I used Perilous Stakes, was very effective.
You got me there. Thanks dude!
Thanks for this 😊
lave went away after first use of the lever
Pickaxe the ore for RP didnt even try anything else. Was like "yes! I can finally use the pickaxe in my pack"
1 quick question why ar my items only coming out as rare but the item in this video came out as very rare?

Not sure why mine was different, but it was after the official release date, that's all I know
Level to hit the platform down doesn’t do anything for me
Lava does not go away after one use of hammer
Thank you!
Wait, are there more than one type of moulds? And how many times can I use the Forge?
This game, I swear is the most frustrating game I’ve ever played in my life
I’m guessing you never played Elden Ring 😂
And Baldur’s Gate 3 is much easier than Divinity 2. That game is something else
Thank you this health in extreme amount
you can craft just one item? i try to put another mold after the first one but doesnt work
Same, tried crafting a second item but nothing happens
@@System777 sad :(
Put the mould in, the ore in, turn on the lava and hit the lever to drop the hammer when the lava is there. Worked for me!
Do I have to kill him everytime I craft an item ?
Just the one time I believe
@@MidnightMoose yeah tried it yesterday
Heat him up!
Why isn’t the platform lowering for me
I had the same bug it jist spit the mold out and would let me redo it
I did the exact same thing and nothing
"you make it to the forge"
doesn't it seem like "walkthrough" is a label you put on something that tells you how to do that?
nice!
The amount of times Missed.. I should go play the lotto
yeah this helped but like not all the way, so still stuck of course, Big L honestly fuck this game lol
This is not a walkthrough at all skipped pubotal steps
Sorry to be blunt but guides such as this are useless to the majority of us when you're playing on an easy skill level.
I don't care
Sorry to be blunt but your statement is wrong
Be quiet. You're loud and fkn wrong
BG3 isn’t hard even on hard lol
@@bananerna2601 i want to see u do u play thru with zero mods, zero adds, zero edits. play as start.
Thanks!
