'Ancient Forge'

Main article: Abandoned Refuge

To the far south of Grymforge, you can find access to Abandoned Refuge and the 'Underdark - Ancient Forge' Waypoint. It can only be accessed via the upper-level grating, or via a magical effect such as Misty Step or Fly. Continuing on this route eventually leads to The Adamantine Forge.

'Duergar Encampment'

The Duergar do not dwell in the entirety of Grymforge. They have set up in this location's central area, and are primarily on the floor levels.

'Abandoned Temple'

This area is primarily accessed through the upper floors of Grymforge, and primarily occupies the northeast region of the location map. You can find Philomeen in these depths, along with dangerous creatures such as Ochre Jelly and Hellsboars.
