Defeat the Grimnir boss battle in Spirit of the North 2 with this guide.

Spirit of the North 2 has just released and brings our furry fox friend back to save some lost animal Guardians. By mending their pain, through the medium of a boss battle, you’ll help heal the land. Not only that but you’ll gain an ally to take on the final boss, Grimnir, the Shaman. Now that we’ve defeated the previous five bosses, it’s time for the final showdown with Grimnir, the Shaman.

Defeat the Grimnir Boss Battle

To defeat Grimnir, you must first get to him. You’ll do that on Fox Island. That’s the very first area of the game, where you get chased away, after awakening Grimnir. Now that you’ve freed the lost Guardians, you can return to face Grimnir. You’ll face him in the Hall of the Guardians. Use a fast travel portal to travel back there.

Unfortunately my game went weird and recovered my map with the grey mist

You’ll make your way through the Hall of Guardians, and as you arrive a cutscene will play where you see your Guardians assemble, Avengers style, ready to do battle with Grimnir. Alas, he is prepared and will lock your Guardians in treasure chests at the other side of the arena.

If you’d rather watch a video, check out this one of me (almost) defeating the boss:

To defeat Grimnir, you must release each of the six Guardians from the chests they are captured in. They’ve been sealed in little stone totems (see picture above) and you’ll get to grab one at a time from a chest. This means traversing a changing boss arena to get to the chests, and then returning back to where you started to place the totem on the correct pedestal to release the Guardian.

This means you must do this six times. If you die, you’ll have to start over. Be sure to make use of the abilities that fit best. I very much liked the Spirit Jump rune, alongside the glide jump.

Phases

Phase 1: The arena fills with water, and you must use the platforms to get across. Watch out for his spinning disc attack and his airborne fireballs.
Phase 2: Ice platforms appear on the water. Navigate the slippery surfaces to get to the chest and retrieve the next totem. Avoid running straight forward throughout this boss to avoid his disc and fireball attacks.
Phase 3: Wind tunnels will appear and you must use your glide ability to dodge the glowing jellyfish-type enemies to get to your next totem.
Phase 4: Use Spirit Fox to travel across the large gaps. Be sure to use the dream catcher to take your body across. Be quick, you take damage if you take too long to move your physical body. Keep your spirit energy up.
Phase 5: Simpler phase, cross using the platforms and use the bugs to restore your health. Stay moving diagonally to dodge his attacks.
Phase 6: For the final phase, you must lure Grimnir into the electric attack he uses. He’ll continue to follow you, catch him in the attack as it hits the floor to stun him, which gets rid of the wind barrier. Run as far as you can and repeat until you reach the final stone totem. Don’t attack him directly.

Congratulations! You’ve beaten the final boss of Spirit of the North 2. Now to carry on exploring until you’ve got all the collectibles!
