Except it is winnable without the Crucible. There’s even an achievement for beating Grym without using the Crucible at all.
It’s much harder to do it, but it’s not an unwinnable fight.
Running around the area everything makes it very clear you need a hammer and heat. I showed up to that fight prepared. Then I saw the achievement pop up, and after I read it I couldn't help be laugh. I did the equivalent of doing the math problem wrong but getting the right answer.
I've killed him on both my runs without using the crucible. The second one was on tactician. Def takes a lot of planning but doable!
I had no idea the crucible was even usable for that, wasn't telegraphed at all. I found the buff/debuff to be infuriatingly inconsistent and eventually the lava mechanic just broke altogether and the only way to leave that zone was to fast travel out of it, and I could never return.
