Grime features dozens of enemies for you to fight. While you can defeat most of them by using your weapons, you can also use your head (not just figuratively). Your character’s head is a black hole, and pressing the parry button at the correct moment allows you to absorb an opponent’s essence. In some cases, you might need to absorb the same foe multiple times to fully learn a trait. In turn, you’ll use your Hunt Points to activate these perks. Here’s our Grime enemy skills and traits guide to help you obtain all the abilities in the game.

Note: For more information, you can check out our Grime guides and features hub. Likewise, please be reminded that this guide contains minor spoilers since we’ll discuss abilities gained from bosses.

 

Grime: Enemy skills and traits guide — Obtaining all abilities for your Hunt Points

In general, the only enemies whose skills can be absorbed are those with a red health bar when they’re close to death. True, there are certain enemies which may have a mix of red and grey in their meters. But, only those with a red segment close to the left side (i.e., depletion/death) can have traits learned and absorbed.

Below, you’ll see a list of the enemies in Grime, along with any learnable skills and traits that they may have. Please note that some enemies may still appear in other areas of the game. Also, I should mention that we weren’t allowed to divulge more details past a certain point in Grime‘s campaign. As such, this list is currently missing a few tidbits of information.

Note: Thanks to Alexander Pereira for mentioning this in the comments section. I forgot to farm this mob when I was playing, so I wasn’t able to acquire the trait.

Note: Grime is available via Steam. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.
