Welcome to our guide for the classic game, Grimstone! In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about maps, skills, items, secrets, and tips & tricks for the game. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, this guide has got you covered! So let’s jump right in and become experts at navigating Grimstone.
Introduction
1P, RPG
“Praise Biggan, the four of you survived the saloon fire. But somethin’ tells me this story’s just gettin’ started…”
If you’re looking for maps, character guidance, items, or secrets, then you’ve come to the right place! I’ve been having a ton of fun playing this, so I thought I’d put together a nice little guide to help players along.
Grimstone is very reminiscent of early Final Fantasy (as you’ll soon see); I can totally imagine a world where this was our “Final Fantasy 1” equivalent, and eventually we’d be on “Grimstone XVI” now!
VERY IMPORTANT: Do not quit the game before returning to town! The game saves then; and you can lose a lot of progress otherwise.
After starting the game, you’ll come up to one of the biggest choices you can make in this game: your party roster! Lots of folks tend to have choice paralysis here, so I’ll do my best to help you out!
