Quick win — 30 secondsRoll up around level 17 with one Dark Pal (Lyleen Noct does the job) and a ranged weapon. Lean on that weakness, keep moving, and chip it from range. Want it on your team? Drop it under ~20% HP, then chain spheres.
⚠️
Watch outDon't get greedy. Grintale's Neutral attacks hit harder than they look, and it punishes you for standing still.

Strategy

How to Beat Grintale

Best counters

Grintale is Neutral, so lead with Dark damage and you'll carve through its health bar fast. Reliable picks: Lyleen Noct, Katress. Pack a bow or firearm too — poking from outside its attack range beats trading hits up close.

Fight plan

  1. Gear and level check. Be around level 17+ with a ranged weapon, and a stack of decent spheres if you want to catch it.
  2. Exploit the weakness. Send in your Dark Pal and keep its skills on cooldown — that's where the real damage comes from.
  3. Stay mobile. Kite in a wide circle, dodge the wind-ups, and never get cornered against the terrain.
  4. Capture or finish. For the catch, chip it under ~20% HP then chain spheres during recovery windows. Just farming? Delete it — it respawns on the usual timer.
