Grime: Carven Palace guide — Puzzles, bosses, and secrets

Carven Palace: The third floor’s platforming puzzles

You’re now on the third floor of the Carven Palace zone in Grime. To the left, you’ll see a ladder with a locked door at the top. There’s also a chamber with 3x Pillar Fragment, an item you can’t reach, and a few mobs that are asleep. You can kill the Disciple here you get a Hunt Point, though.

For now, you can make the elevator go down and watch for an opening to your left. This will lead you to a small room with the beacon.

Finally, you can see the Carven Palace’s map!

Next, head to the right and ignore the locked door. Come to think of it, ignore the mobs as well.

Climb until you see an open area with a platform puzzle and some electrocuting wires.

Before we do this puzzle, go to your right first. There’s a tower here with several Armored Servants.

At the top, you’ll spot 1x Living Flesh.

Now, if you look further to the right, you’ll also see another tower. This can be reached by air dashing from one of the ledges.

Inside this tower is, you guessed it, another platform puzzle. The idea is to use your dashes and ledge pulls until you land at the bottom. The platform is here, and you need to keep pulling it all the way to the ceiling.

Once you’ve found the opening, you can pick up 3x Living Flesh, 2x Breathdew Shard, and 1x Breathdew Droplet.

Go back to the previous area (before you encountered the Armored Servants in the tower).

It’s time to do this quick platforming puzzle, one that involves pulls, air dashes, and some electrocuting wires (as usual).

You’ll then reach a small room with lightning-infused spikes that need to be avoided.

Continue onward to find a Surrogate (i.e., save point). Activate it and open the door to the left. This leads back to the main area/elevator shaft on the third floor.

Anyway, when you’re ready, ride the lift. This takes us to the Shapely Fidus boss fight. Let’s discuss this battle in the next part of our Grime Carven Palace guide.
