To be able to reach the Adamantine Forge in Baldur’s Gate 3, you will first be required to make your way to the Grymforge area. You can do this from Underdark, where you will find a boat that will help you cross the river to the new location or through the Goblin Camp.


1) Through the Goblin Camp

The first way will be to progress through the narrative till you reach the Giblin Camp. From there, speak to the Duergar guards. They will open the access to Grymforge and then the Adamantine Forge.


2) Through the Decripit Village

With the Decripit Village route, you will need to enter the Underdark from Druid Grove or the Temple of Slune. Then making your way to the Village, clear the area and you will find the dock with the boat which will take you to Grymforge.


Defeating Grym to gain access to the Adamantine Forge in Baldur’s Gate 3

Once you have reached Grymforge, to get access to the Adamantine Forge you will be required to Defeat Grym himself. He is one of the harder encounters in the game. However, here are a few things you can do to make it easier:

  • Start filling the arena with lava by interacting with the lava valve. This will automatically summon Grym. However, make sure you do not take lava damage. Strick him with one of your tanky characters to grab his attention.
  • Now lure him to the centre of the piston machinery. Once he has reached it, you will need to pull the control level which will then automatically mash Grym with the piston. This will cause an incredible amount of damage to the boss.
  • After a certain threshold, he will start summoning Mephits. So try focusing on the minions to take them out first. Once they are dealt with, once again lure Grym to the middle of the miston and slam him with it.

This method will make the fight significantly easier, and you will be able to take him down to gain access to the Adamantine Forge.
