This encounter starts off with a gauntlet down a hallway. Run down the hallway and kill the adds that run in constantly.

Whenever Grauf is in range of the cannons at the end of the hallway, click on the cannon after you have obtained a harpoon to bring Skadi to the floor.

When Skadi himself is on the ground, deal with any remaining adds before attacking the boss himself.

Keep the tank healthy as they can be getting stunned frequently by Crush IconCrush.
