by fighting each other
They fight each other. Beowulf kills Grendel.
Other than brute strength, no weapons can pierce through Grendel's skin because he represents evil.
When Beowulf was Wrestling Grendel, the other warriors tried to rush in and help. Unfortunatly, when trying to pierce Grendel's body with their swords, they shattered.
Beowulf also uses his knowledge of Grendel's vulnerability to not be harmed by weapons, as Grendel had bewitched all blades to be ineffective against him. This allowed Beowulf to grapple with Grendel and ultimately rip off his arm, mortally wounding him.
Before swimming back to land, Beowulf kills Grendel's mother and decapitates Grendel's corpse. Hrothgar and the other warriors believe that Beowulf has been defeated by Grendel's mother and mourn his apparent death.

With no weapons to show his true strength as a hero
because it symbolized Beowulf bravery and how much he valued his reputation.He could have taken back the treasure but he took back the head to show how heroic he was in order to build his fame.
Grendel only ever attacks the hall, never any other building. Hrothgar and Wealhtheow retire to a bower (buhr) for the night. Beowulf similarly is not in the hall when Grendel's mother attacks.
Grendel's mother is an unnamed swamp-hag, and his father is not mentioned--in the original story. In the new movie 'Beowulf', Grendel's father is portrayed as being a heroin addict and left after beating his mother and molesting Grendel with a rusty spoon.
Beowulf is the hero and protagonist of the Anglo-Saxon epic poem "Beowulf," known for his bravery and strength. Grendel, on the other hand, is a monstrous creature descended from the biblical Cain who terrorizes the Danes in the poem. Beowulf ultimately defeats Grendel in battle.
