GRIME walkthrough and guide

As you progress through GRIME, a surreal metroidvania, you will come across a lot of unexplainable things. The game literally throws you into an unfamiliar world and explains almost nothing. In this guide, you will find a step-by-step guide that will guide you through the entire game, telling you what to do and in which area to unlock new abilities and get to the final boss.

But first…

How to fast travel in GRIME

In total there are 3 ways to fast travel. The first is related to surrogates - huge stones, when interacting with them, you reset enemies, restore health, and can spend money on boosting parameters.

Method 1 - Using a Surrogate

So, every time you die, the game throws you back to the last activated surrogate. At what! Unlike many Souls-like games, you don't lose money. Instead, you can lose Fervor - shown in the upper left corner of the screen, and does not become available immediately. So, Flavor is used for different purposes. Some of the skills that you upgrade with hunting points allow you to benefit from it. For example, one skill will increase damage depending on how much Fervor is.

Thus, you can either die on purpose to return to the surrogate, or activate an item called Levolam Dust.

Method 2 - nerve roots

If my memory serves me right, they are called nerve roots or nerve nodes. You will find the first such nerve root under the World Pillar when Shidra asks you to go to the Nerve Root location. Examine it, and then find the same ones in different locations of the game world. And you can travel between them.

Method 3 - between surrogates

This variant is unlocked after you defeat the final boss. Then take some time to explore all the remaining corners of the world.

How to pass Grime - where to go next

And now the promised step-by-step instructions.

Stage 1 - Unlocking the Fervor

The first location will be a kind of tutorial. You will be taught how to counter enemies, and then the mechanics of Blaze will be explained. Go to start the Weeping Cavity. Defeat the Amalgam boss in Weeping Hollow Cave to unlock the Blaze ability. The more Fervor you gain by attacking enemies, the more mass will drop. This is a monetary unit.

Stage 2 - How to get the power of attraction and meet Shidra

Go further. Explore the Formless Desert, go to Lithith and reach the Pillar of the World to meet Shidra. This is an important quest character with whom you will be in contact until the end of the game.

So, go through the Formless Desert and enter Lilith. Destroy the Whispering Mothers in Lithite to gain the ability to be attracted to various objects. Go to the Pillar of Peace and chat with Shidra to take on a new quest.

Stage 3 - open the dash

After that, on the instructions of Shidra, go down to the Nervoroot and get to the lair of the Feaster, where you can unlock the dash. Go down under the Pillar of Peace and follow left and down until you find yourself in the Pirate's Lair. Eventually, you will find the Vulture. Defeat him and get a dash. In addition, you will receive a quest item to give to Shidra.

Stage 4 - Child Particle and Printer

Possibly the hardest part of the game. No one explains how to find the Unsealer, which is needed for the door in the Palace of the Carved. Also, you won't be able to get into the gardens until you get the new ability to be attracted to purple objects. It can be unlocked in the Palace of the Carved. Continue climbing higher and higher through the Palace, opening up the different floors for the elevator to travel. This will be a difficult level. The path to the palace lies to the right of the Pillar of the World, through the Path of Servants. In the palace, you will need to attract the elevator, accompanying them along the cable car. If there is a gap somewhere, at the time of the passage of the elevator, it should be additionally pulled. At the top, you need to defeat True to Form (when the hand remains, just try to survive, it will collapse on its own).

After gaining the ability to be attracted to purple knots, go down from the palace down to Lonolad Garden. Move down and down until you find the baby particle.

Stage 5 - final boss

Return to Shidra to get the Unsealer, then go through the Hewn Palace to the right and open the door. You will enter the city of Cenotaph. Here, fight one boss, and then climb to the top of the Pillar of the World from the place where the Shidra was. Fight the final boss in two skirmishes.
