Step-by-Step Guide

1
Fire Boss Bokoblin Ambush
Stealth strike the unaware Fire Boss Bokoblin in front of you to instantly destroy its weak-point gauge and perform a weak-point smash. Finish it off before proceeding with the main objective for bonus rewards.
2
Stone Talus in the first outpost
Head west and defeat the Stone Talus inside the outpost.
3
splitting the party
After capturing the outpost, you can split up the group and order a unit to take the north outpost while you take the main objective on the south outpost.
4
Grimgohma exploding rocks
Move to the next outpost and defeat the Black Hinox inside to capture it. Be sure to quickly run past the rocks Grimgohma launched at your path before they explode.
5
burning Black Boss Bokoblin
Zelda will join your party starting from the next objective. Have her take the outposts to her east and southeast as you take the objective outpost guarded by a Black Boss Bokoblin before regrouping.
4
Fire Lynel
Defeat the Fire Lynel southeast of the previous objective outpost to finally clear the path to the Archfiend.
5
breaking Grimgohma
Grimgohma will be awaiting in the outpost at the southeast corner of the map. Defeat it to complete the battle.
*
exploding rocks
For the first phase of the fight, we recommend using lots of Bombs and Batteries until Grimgohma's outer shell breaks and allows for a weak-point smash.
*
Grimgohma third phase
After the first weak-point smash, Grimgohma will erupt a giant rock at the center of the arena and start hurling explosive rocks around. You can hit these rocks back to Grimgohma to damage its giant rock.

Do not hit the rocks if they are already glowing as they will explode on contact at that point.

Keep rolling explosive rocks back at Grimgohma until you deplete its weak-point gauge once again.
