There are many locations that you can visit in Baldur's Gate 3. One of these is the Adamantine Forge, which has a machine that lets you craft weapons and shields. However, you need to eliminate a boss, and you might encounter a bug while doing so. Our guide discusses the Baldur's Gate 3 Grym boss fight, as well as how to make use of the Adamantine Forge.

The Baldur's Gate 3 Adamantine Forge is found in the deeper recesses of an area called the Grymforge. To get there, you have to go through the Underdark. Here's what you can expect:

Eventually, you'll arrive at the Adamantine Forge. There's a section near the waypoint that has a lava flow and solidified igneous rocks. You can cross to the other side where you can break an ore deposit, netting you a Mithral Ore. Then, as you approach the forge machinery, you can battle Mephit mobs to your left. The small area beyond also has another Mithral Ore.

Our goal now is to make use of the Adamantine Forge to make an item and spawn the Baldur's Gate 3 Grym boss. Here's what you need to do:

We suggest ungrouping your team and repositioning them in this manner:

When a character interacts with the lava valve, it will flood the arena with molten liquid, save for the elevated sections. It also causes the Baldur's Gate 3 Grym boss to appear. This fight has the following mechanics:

In any case, the Baldur's Gate 3 Grym boss fight does require a bit of trial and error, and maybe some extra saves, too. What's important is that you aggro the boss so that it's positioned and ready to get pounded to oblivion. For your efforts, you'll receive the Grymskull Helm, which gives the Hunter's Mark spell, resistance to fire damage, and prevention of enemies landing a critical hit.

That does it for the Baldur's Gate 3 Grym boss fight in the Adamantine Forge. To get back up top, just press the small button behind the control lever. That should work most of the time. However, there's also a nasty bug that prevents that from happening. If this occurs, one option is to reload your save (hopefully you have one during the fight so you don't lose several hours of progress).

Alternatively, you can just fast travel to another location. Just remember that you won't be able to access the Adamantine Forge normally unless you use the Fly spell to get back down.

Baldur's Gate 3 is filled to the brim with activities and secrets. You'll no doubt be part of an adventure that can take countless hours to complete. For other tips, you can visit our BG3 guides hub.
