Focus on their weaknesses until your pawn says, "I've learned of beasts" or  "I've gained some insight on that foe".


 * attack the Goblin leader first, the horn blower second, use fire element and fire spells, use ice element and ice spells, heavy attack the shield wearers to break their guard, stagger a goblin and grapple hold him so your pawn can take the final kill, stagger a goblin and pick him up just to throw him off a cliff, throw dragon spit/flasks of water or oil/throwblast,etc. or exploding barrels/rocks onhe ground.

as with any monster in the game there are many ways to defeat them. Most of the time it takes several tries in one type of stategy just get a pwan to learn something new. To this end, if you fight them the same way all the time you probably wont get the third star until you try something new.

side note: I found that that gaining three stars in goblins and hobgoblins will earn you the second star in grimgoblins with out ever having seen them.
