I never knew it was even possible to clear the rubble without triggering a massive fight! It’s really tough but quite rewarding. Winning felt like the first time I completely cleared the goblin camp.
My tips are to stay well away from the lava lest you get insta shove-killed, kill as many duergar as possible while exploring Grymforge or they might join the big fight partway through, play a Bearheart barbarian because they canonically can’t die.
It’s still an intense marathon, though. It’s the only time I’ve ever had to rage twice in a single combat because rage “only” lasts ten turns.
