Location of the fight with Grevious
The fight with General Grievous takes place during the So Uncivillised story mission. It will happen soon after you reach Pam City during the main storyline.
The first stage of the fight
The boss starts the fight using four lightsabers at once, but thankfully it doesn't make the fight much more difficult and he'll be losing some of the sabers over time. Unfortunately, the boss has four health bars. Between the phases of the fight you'll need to solve small puzzles and climb.
Use the lightsaber throw (R2, RT or LMB) to attack the General. Don't rely on blaster shots, as he can easily block them.
Just like other bosses, Grievous has access to some powerful attacks signaled with red lines and circles. Quickly dodge aside to leave their range.
He can also jump around the arena, which isn't telegraphed in any way. Deal with it by staying at a medium distance while attacking him.
While fighting Grievous you'll sometimes have to overpower him during blade locks and outmaneuver him during fencing sequences - this happens each time you deplete one of his health bars. Keep pressing the button displayed on the screen to pass the QTE.
After each phase of the fight the boss will run to the higher level, forcing you to chase him. After defeating Grievous for the first time notice the target on picture 1 - you must shoot it a few times to charge up the device behind it.
Switch to Cody (the blaster-wielder) and pull the grapple on picture 2. This triggers a cutscene and knocks Grievous back down onto the arena.
The second stage of the fight
After defeating Grievous for the second time deal with the weak droids around you. Reach the inactive elevator. You must attach your lightsaber to the wall (picture 1) and reach the higher platform. Press the button at the top to let Cody join you.
Keep chasing the boss while eliminating the stronger droids standing in your path. Choose Cody and grab the grappling point shown in picture 2 (Circle on PS, B on Xbox, E on PC). This unlocks a ladder you can climb to reach the boss again.
Grievous will damage the upper balconies but you can circumvent that by Wall Running. Grievous will overpower you and push you off the platform (you don't need to press any buttons), but this triggers the third phase of the fight.
The third second stage of the fight
After defeating Grievous for the third time a swarm of droids will appear, including some elite models. Fight them either with your lightsaber or with your blaster.
After the fight, reach the new elevator and use the Force (F on PC, Triangle on PS, Y on Xbox) to move the crate and place it on the elevator (picture 1). Try to climb up with the lightsaber. The lower part of the wall will fall off but you can now jump up to the upper part and attach the lightsaber to it (picture 2). This will let you reach the top. Press the button here to let Cody get up as well.
Approach Grievous - after he escapes, destroy the fragment of the wall he was standing next to. You'll expose a destructible wall (picture 1) - pierce it with your lightsaber and cut out a hole.
Build a terminal (E on PC, Circle on PS, B on Xbox). Cody can interact with it - complete the mini-game by pressing buttons corresponding to the displayed symbols.
The fourth phase of the duel
Grievous will get knocked down once again. Now deplete his final health bar and overpower him during the final blade lock to deal with the general once and for all.
