Grindstone: Walkthrough Guide, Tips and Tricks

Grindstone
By: Capybara Games

Grindstone is an Apple Arcade match-three game from Capybara that works similarly to Dungeon Raid. You need to draw through hordes of enemies of the same color to attack them and create grindstones. It’s a pretty challenging game, so this walkthrough guide should help you if you get stuck. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments section.

Tips & Tricks:

– If you lose a heart, it’s not gone permanently, but you do need to buy it back from the Inn between levels. Otherwise you’ll be playing with fewer lives and it’s more challenging.

– Create chains of 10 or more enemies of the same color to create a grindstone.

– Draw through a grindstone to change colors, allowing you to create a bigger chain.

– Break crates and rocks to get crafting materials.

– To access the treasure chests, you first need to pick up the key from the minion carrying it.

– Some enemies can only be destroyed if you first build a chain of 5 or 10 or more minions on your path to them. Some require a specific color.

– Blueprints can be found in chests, so make sure you unlock them all.

– Reveal and craft items from your blueprints are the smithy. Some replenish between levels, while others don’t.

– If things look bad and you’re worried about losing a heart, you can always flee the battle and forfeit the loot you picked up in that level.

– The longer you stay in a level, the angrier monsters get. If monsters are getting impossible to manage, try to head to the exit. You can always play again to get the treasure or crown if you’re missing them.

– If you’re looking for the 50 new levels added, you need to search for these holes hidden throughout the map. You can find them near levels 38, 67, 97, 130 and 161.

    Are there any specific levels with a lot of shieldy jerks? I’m on the 25 shieldy jerks challenge and I haven’t been able to figure out which ones are best for it

    I am totally stuck on two challenges:

    1. ΓÇ¥Repair a piece of gear 3 times 0/3ΓÇ¥ Seems easy but I cannot get the counter to toggle. Tried running a sword down to 0/3 then repairing it three times to 3/3 but the challenge counter stayed at 0/3. What am I missing?
    2. ΓÇ¥Kill 3 skjeletons with 1 chainΓÇ¥ Again seems straightforward, have done it a few times but the challenge wonΓÇÖt clear. Am I missing something here? I am guessing these might be game bugs?

    Does the rainbow gear blueprints ever drop in reg game or just for daily grind
