However, he lost several battles. He failed to destroy the mines on Viidaav during one battle. In the Battle of Nadiem, Grievous suffered another defeat. His droid army was attempting to invade a city on Nadiem and prevent the citizens from escaping. The Jedi Barriss Offee defeated the droids by pretending to be dead and then detonating explosives as they walked by, bringing the canyon walls down on the droids. An orbital blockade ordered by Saesee Tiin prevented additional CIS reinforcements and air forces from reaching the planet. Grievous was forced to flee in his starfighter, severely wounding B'dard Tone and killing his Padawan before escaping into hyperspace.

Months later, Grievous put into motion Operation Durge's Lance, a major Separatist campaign whose goal was the complete conquest of the Core Worlds. Hundreds of planets along the Corellian Trade Spine fell before his forces, including the major world of Duro whose surrender Grievous personally supervised by forcing a public surrender from Hoolidan Keggle in a galaxywide HoloNet transmission. Grievous was also responsible for the orbital bombardment of the heavily populated and urbanized planet Humbarine, one of the founding members of the Galactic Republic, during an hour-long orbital bombardment by the Separatist starfleet under his flagship, Invisible Hand, which resulted in the fragmentation of the planet's crust and presumably the death of most of its populace.[15] He also released the Loedorvian Brain Plague into the Weemell Sector, which destroyed Republic armies and nearly all humans there. Due to these acts of wanton destruction, Grievous soon became an avatar of terror in the eyes of the citizens of the Republic, as he won battle after battle.

Grievous easily defeats Soon Bayts.In 20 BBY, Grievous baited the Republic forces to Vandos by kidnapping Ambassador Quiyyen. Jedi Knights, sent to rescue him, T'chooka D'oon and Jmmaar were killed in the assault, though the Republic was successful in securing Quiyyen. T'chooka's Padawan, Flynn Kybo, was infuriated by this, and, desperate for revenge, gathered a group of other Jedi, including B'dard Tone and Codi Ty, to take revenge on Grievous, something the Jedi High Council disapproved of. During their hunt for him, Grievous captured a Mon Calamari ship, and killed Jed Master Quarmall and several of his younglings aboard, but also took some hostage. He planned to use them as Human-droid hybrids, with an exoskeleton droid suit, similar to himself. After Grievous conquered Gentes, several probe droids released by the group of Jedi led by Kybo, located him on Belsus. The Jedi were now determined to rescue the younglings and Padawans he was holding hostage, having learned of them with help from the slicer Rini. Though the probe attacked him, the cyborg had no trouble destroying them, and thus nothing was accomplished besides alerting their interest in him to the general. With help from an Ugnaught, the Padawans escaped, but Grievous was hot on their trail. He confronted them, but at that moment the Jedi arrived. While Codi led them to safety, Grievous dueled B'dard and Flynn, killing them both after Kybo cut open a gas line, causing a large explosion.

Seven months later, on Boz Pity, Grievous fought Jedi Master Soon Bayts. Surprising Bayts, he crushed his head in his claws before the Jedi had time to raise his lightsaber. He then took his lightsaber, using it to combat the clone troopers. Stunned at this, Jedi Council member Adi Galia engaged Grievous in combat. However, even she was no match for the droid general. Grievous used his extra arms to surprise Galia, stabbing her through the chest with two lightsabers. Mace Windu arrived at this moment, and using the Force, smashed a STAP on top of him. Grievous was knocked unconscious and was later rescued by his bodyguards.

During the Second Battle of Xagobah, Grievous confronted the young bounty hunter Boba Fett, who was on his first mission. After the Republic attacked Wat Tambor's fortress, Fett had taken advantage of the chaos to try and collect on a bounty placed on Tambor's head by Jabba the Hutt. He infiltrated the fortress and attacked Tambor, who shot back at him, and called Grievous to help him. The general left the main battle and entered Tambor's private room, where he attacked Fett, despite the young clone pretending to be Durge with the help of a holoshroud. He easily defeated the boy and almost killed him. Fett survived only by faking death. Grievous then retreated from the planet with Wat Tambor and Asajj Ventress before the Republic's clone troopers burst through the citadel.

Grievous facing Shaak Ti.Grievous' hatred of Nute Gunray intensified after several incidents. First, the Viceroy insisted on going back to Cato Neimoidia to recover some of his valuables, allowing Republic forces to follow him to a meeting place, where Grievous was forced to kill the clone pilots pursuing the Neimoidian's ship to save Gunray, though he would have preferred to let them capture Gunray. Later, Gunray lost his mechno-chair, allowing the Republic to learn that Grievous intended to capture Belderone. Grievous led the Confederate fleet into an ambush by a group of Republic warships there before ultimately fleeing. Though he killed 27 Jedi in the ensuing battle, Grievous was furious at someone for allowing the Republic to learn of this, and he suspected Gunray was to blame. He confronted Gunray, who revealed that the Republic must have found his mechno-chair after he had left it on Cato Neimoidia by accident. Grievous threatened him, but stopped short of actually physically harming him.

Endgame "Crush them! Make them suffer!" ―Grievous[src] After learning that the Jedi were onto him, thanks in part to the recordings discovered from the mechno-chair, Darth Sidious, who was actually Chancellor Palpatine, informed Grievous that he had a special mission—to invade Coruscant and kidnap the Chancellor. Grievous led his flagship, the Invisible Hand, and the rest of the Confederacy starfleet in an all out attack on the Republic capital, using secret hyperspace routes given to him by Sidious. During the battle, Grievous ordered diversionary tactics, such as sending suicide squadrons of Vulture droids to cause chaos in the city and to terrorize the citizens. While a massive battle raged between Confederate and Republic forces, Grievous led an assault on 500 Republica with intelligence provided by Darth Sidious. The Jedi commanded by Shaak Ti took Palpatine to a secret bunker aboard a maglev train; however, Grievous and his MagnaGuards caught up with them and dueled the Jedi Mace Windu and Kit Fisto on top of the train. The duel ended with Grievous being pushed off the train. However, he was saved by a hijacked LAAT/i, unknown to the Jedi. He then reached the hardened bunker with six of his MagnaGuards in tow, and accessed it using codes provided by Darth Sidious. Cutting a bloody path of destruction through the bunker, he made his way to Palpatine. He quickly killed four of Palpatine's Jedi protectors: Roron Corobb, Foul Moudama, Roth-Del Masona, and B'ink Utrila, as well as a numerous amount of clone troopers before kidnapping the Chancellor. He then dueled Shaak Ti and spared her to inform the Jedi that the Chancellor was gone.

Grievous's chest being crushed by Mace Windu.As he fled, Jedi Master Mace Windu Force crushed the plates covering Grievous's internal organ sac, injuring his lungs and aggravating the General's already irritating wheezing and coughing problems; a result of his organic form not taking well to his cyborg implants. This crippling blow injured Grievous for the rest of his life—which would not be long.

Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, fresh from a victory on Tythe, got wind of what had happened and set off to rescue Palpatine. The Jedi boarded the Invisible Hand after fighting their way through the massive battle and killed Darth Tyranus and escaped with the Supreme Chancellor, but the rescue mission was an elaborate trap. The two Jedi were soon entrapped in an energy shield, and then surrounded by droids who brought them before Grievous in Invisible Hand's bridge.

As Grievous gloated, the Jedi managed to un-cuff themselves while R2-D2 provided a distraction, and defeated Grievous's IG-100 MagnaGuards. The general then shattered the front window of the cruiser, in order to escape the deteriorating ship and kill the two Jedi. Obi-Wan, Anakin, and the Chancellor managed to stay in the ship, but Grievous was sucked into space. Protected from exposure to vacuum, the general could survive in space.

Grievous aboard the Invisible Hand.He used a grappling hook installed in his arm to latch onto the hull of the ship and fled in one of the escape pods, which was later picked up by a Lucrehulk-class battleship. Realizing that his objective had failed, the General and his fleet retreated. The general then managed to board his Sheathipede-class transport shuttle and head for the recently secured planet Utapau in the Outer Rim Territories, where the Separatist Council was hiding.

With Count Dooku's death, Grievous was now the Separatist head of state. Under the direct order of Dooku's master, Darth Sidious, he relocated the council to the planet Mustafar while he stayed on Utapau, waiting for the arrival of Obi-Wan Kenobi, having been warned by Sidious. Though Nute Gunray and the other council members doubted Grievous's ability to lead, they followed his orders, leaving just moments before Kenobi's arrival.

Death of Grievous "Back away! I will deal with this Jedi slime myself!" ―General Grievous

General Grievous squares off against Obi-Wan Kenobi on Utapau in what will be his final match.After the Republic received word that Grievous was hiding on Utapau, General Kenobi was sent to kill him. Still weak and injured from his encounter with Windu, he immediately revealed his four arms—something he usually kept a secret—in an all-out assault. During the duel, Grievous's craven reflexes kicked in, and his inability to penetrate Kenobi's Form III defense made his offense grow sloppy. Kenobi took advantage of this and altered the angle of his parries to cut Grievous's wrists. Grievous lost two of his hands to Kenobi before Clone Marshal Commander Cody and the 212th Attack Battalion arrived, ambushing the droid army. Fighting broke out all over Pau City between droid and clone forces.

Grievous fled on his wheel bike, presumably not wishing to continue with the battle, surprised and angered by Obi-Wan's ability to fight and gain an advantage in a one on one battle. Pursued by Obi-Wan on a varactyl named Boga, after a prolonged chase and running duel, Kenobi caught up with Grievous on his private landing dock, hidden in a small, nearby sinkhole. As they fought hand-to-hand, Grievous showed that he was the better hand-to-hand fighter, making use of his mechanical body and superior strength. However Kenobi managed to rip open Grievous' chest plates, revealing the synth-skin gut-sack containing Grievous' remaining organs. After striking him a few times, Grievous tossed Kenobi off the platform, but the Jedi managed to catch hold of the edge.

Grievous's internal organs erupt in flames after being shot by Kenobi.Grievous, deprived of most of his arsenal, snatched his electrostaff and charged Kenobi, raising the staff to finish him off. But before he could deliver the killing blow, Kenobi used the Force to summon Grievous's blaster to his outstretched hand. He fired five shots through the gap in Grievous' chestplate into the general's gut-sack. The oils preserving Grievous' organs burst into flames, incinerating his remaining biological components and charring him from the inside out.

His mechanical corpse lay on the Utapaun landing platform, never again to hold any organic material or life. General Grievous, despite having defeated several Jedi at once, was bested by a single foe—Obi-Wan Kenobi.
