Revision 5

Overview

Grimnir is a dwarf artificer who works at the Kilnden Workshop, located west of Hernand. He is recognized as a brilliant engineer with considerable talent for his craft. Despite wearing a Visione on his head and possessing obvious skill as a craftsman, Grimnir's arrogant and self-centered nature frequently gets in the way. He acts dismissive when questioned and will not admit that he needs help, even when he clearly does. This difficult personality means that working with him requires patience, though his technical brilliance makes him one of the most valuable NPCs in the game.

Grimnir serves as the primary crafting NPC for Kuku Pot-related items. Players first encounter him during Chapter 4: The Price of Knowledge, and he remains relevant throughout the rest of the game as new crafting recipes unlock through faction progression.

Location

Grimnir can be found at the Kilnden Workshop, where he practices his trade. The workshop sits west of the Abyss Nexus in the Hernand region. Players can return to this location at any time after the initial Chapter 4 visit to access crafting services or pick up new recipes.

Chapter 4 Quest Involvement

Grimnir plays a central role in the Chapter 4: The Price of Knowledge story arc. When Kliff arrives at the Kilnden Workshop, Grimnir enlists the player's help to get things running again. Though he secretly wants assistance repairing the kilns, he will not admit it directly.

Kiln Repair at the Kilnden Workshop

The Kiln Repair at the Kilnden Workshop quest requires the player to fix three broken kilns for Grimnir. Each kiln presents a different puzzle:

• Disconnected Kiln: Interact with the connecting pipe on the side to plug it in, then push the handle to activate it.

• Dismantled Kiln : Requires assembling broken pieces using Axiom Force.

• Third Kiln : The fuel orb is located in a small cave southeast of the kiln. Place it inside and push the yellow pole to activate.

Before the kilns can be repaired, the player must also solve a generator puzzle near Grimnir. An Ancient Generator has a wooden pole and a lever with three settings. Adjusting the lever causes different glowing runes to light up on the device.

The Mysterious Pot

After completing the kiln repairs, Grimnir agrees to craft the player a pot. The Kuku Iron Pot is produced during the quest called "The Mysterious Pot," which is the 49th main mission in the game. Grimnir restored an ancient Kuku Pot from nothing more than a memory fragment, showcasing his extraordinary abilities as an artificer.

When the pot is ready, the player pushes a small crank along the edge of a stone circle, traveling clockwise until the ground opens and the pot shoots up. Togrum, another dwarf at the workshop, then teaches the player how to use it. The Kuku Iron Pot can store Abyss-type objects, machine parts, and contraptions across 230 storage slots. It can hold items of any size or weight, making it essential for puzzles that require moving heavy objects.

Crafting Services

Speaking to Grimnir at the Kilnden Workshop opens the crafting interface. His initial crafting options are limited, but new recipes unlock as the player progresses through the story and completes faction quests.

Unlocking New Recipes

Additional crafting options become available at specific story milestones:

• Chapter 5 onward : Recipes tied to the Witch characters begin appearing.

• Chapter 10 onward : Recipes connected to the Ironflame Orcs faction unlock.

• Witch of Wisdom faction quests : Completing Sanctum challenges for Elowen yields crafting blueprints, including the Kuku Pack.

Notable Craftable Items

The following items can be crafted by speaking to Grimnir at the Kilnden Workshop. Each requires specific blueprints and materials.

Kuku Rocket Pack Blueprint

After the player progresses past the Sanctum of Penitence in the Witch of Wisdom faction quest line, Grimnir sends a letter through his assistant. The assistant approaches the player on the south side of Pailune and hands over a document titled "Letter from Grimnir." The player must open their inventory and select Examine on the letter to unlock Blueprint II: Kuku Rocket Pack. The crafting recipe will not appear in the Knowledge tab unless this examination step is performed.

Crafting Materials

Assembling the Kuku Rocket Pack at the Kilnden Workshop requires the following materials:

Once assembled, the Kuku Rocket Pack allows Oongka to fly around the open world. Flight consumes stamina, and Oongka drops the moment his stamina reaches zero. Players can extend flight duration by boosting stamina through Abyss Artifacts.

Personality

Grimnir is proud and stubborn. When Kliff first arrives at the Kilnden Workshop and questions him, Grimnir responds with dismissive remarks. He clearly needs help repairing the kilns but refuses to ask for it outright. Despite this prickly exterior, his skills as a craftsman are undeniable. He restored an ancient Kuku Pot from nothing more than a memory fragment, a feat that demonstrates both his technical knowledge and his deep understanding of ancient dwarven engineering.

His relationship with the player evolves over time. After the initial kiln repair quest, Grimnir becomes more cooperative, eventually sending his assistant to deliver the Rocket Pack blueprint rather than waiting for the player to return on their own.

Additional Kuku Pots

Players who want extra storage can obtain additional Kuku Iron Pots by dispatching a mission from the Greymane Camp to the Kilnden Workshop. This is handled through the dispatch system rather than direct interaction with Grimnir.
