Stats / Weaknesses:

Weak Point: Gryla's magical cauldron, specifically when the purple light is exposed.
Vulnerability: Gryla can be stunned by shooting candles near her.

Phases:

Phase 1: Fight on the ground. Gryla uses melee foot stomps and ranged magic blobs from her cauldron. Attack the exposed purple light on the cauldron to damage Gryla and build stun. When stunned, hit the cauldron. Gryla will then cast a red spell on the ground, forcing you to jump to the tables.
Phase 2: Fight on the table surfaces. Gryla uses ranged attacks, including slow-moving orbs that must be shot down. She also introduces candles that can be shot (using the square button prompt) to stun her, allowing you to attack the exposed cauldron. Dodge her ranged attacks by moving between table surfaces.
Phase 3: Return to the ground. This phase is similar to Phase 1 but incorporates the candles from Phase 2. Goad Gryla towards candles and shoot them to stun her. Gryla becomes more aggressive with ranged attacks. Continue stunning her and hitting the exposed cauldron. Eventually, retreat to the table tops when indicated by red floor markings, and vice versa. When Gryla's health is low, she will be automatically stunned, allowing you to use Triangle then Square on the cauldron to finish the fight and unlock The Cauldron trophy.

Strategy:

Spam the Square button when initially trying to break the cauldron.
Constantly move to avoid Gryla's melee and ranged attacks.
Prioritize hitting the exposed purple light on the cauldron whenever possible.
In Phase 2 and 3, use the candles to stun Gryla, creating openings to attack the cauldron.
Shoot the slow-moving orbs in Phase 2 before they reach you.
Maintain distance when possible to better react to Gryla's attacks.
When Gryla marks the ground or tables with red, move to the safe areas immediately.
In the final moments, utilize the Triangle and Square button prompts for a finishing sequence.
