- World Tier 3, two Living Steel is required to summon Grigoire.
- World Tier 4, five Living Steel is required to summon Grigoire.
Where do you summon Grigoire?
Grigoireis summoned at the Hall of the Penitent in Dindai Flats.
Defeating Grigoire
Be sure to get your Lightning resistance up as high as possible.
Grigoire will first appear by dropping down in the middle of the room with a large attack so position yourself on one of the safe tiles that haven't been electrified around the perimeter.
- One of his first attacks is sweeping and emits small balls of lighting which can sometimes be avoided if you can keep behind him. His upgraded version of this attack has a larger sweep and will knock you back but does not stun. If you're Lightning Resist is decent these balls shouldn't pose a threat.
- At this stage in the fight, he sometimes slams his mace into the ground creating pools of electricity around the entire arena that almost instantly emit Lightning damage. Again, if you're behind him you should avoid these.
- Another of his attacks is to summon Knights Penitent. These minions aren't that tough and act as a resource for corpses or 'on-kill', other abilities and pots. An area of effect skill will off these guys very quickly. It takes him around 2 seconds to summon these guys during which time he's a sitting target.
- Once he gets to around 80% health the pylons that have been appearing across the arena burst into life. Grigoire powers them up and this takes about 3 seconds to do so again, he's a sitting target. These will form electrical fences that restrict your ability to move freely around the arena or even prevent you from reaching parts of it altogether. They inflict Lightning Damage if you run into them or Grigoire knocks you back into one.
- At around 60% health he ramps up this attack disappearing and electrifying all but two floor tiles that will inflict Lightning Damage. He'll drop down onto one of the electrified tiles causing large damage. Move quickly into the safe titles to avoid this or getting boxed in by the fences.
