He dives deep underwater
Beowulf followed Grendel's mother's tracks to her underwater lair after she attacked Heorot. He dove into the lake and ultimately battled and killed her with the help of a magical sword he found in her lair.
Hrothgar asks Beowulf to battle Grendel's mother because she is seeking revenge for Grendel's death, posing a new threat to the kingdom. Beowulf's bravery and skill in defeating Grendel make him the best candidate for facing this new challenge.
Beowulf's sword is useless against Grendel's mother because her skin is too tough for it to penetrate. The sword shatters upon impact, leaving Beowulf vulnerable in the battle. Ultimately, it is Beowulf's strength and willpower that allow him to defeat Grendel's mother.
Beowulf and Grendel's mother fought in her underwater lair at the bottom of a dark, eerie mere (a kind of lake). The battle took place in the depths of the water, adding to the suspense and danger of the encounter.
In the EPIC of Beowulf, she was slain by a sword made for a giant and sliced her head clean off in one clean cut.
The dragon is beowulfs song which most people don't' know cause it doesn't really tell you... and the golden horn Beowulf got from the king is a symbol. If Grendels mother has it he shall not attach but it soon comes back to it's owner and it comes back to Beowulf when he becomes king. So Beowulf and Grendels mother got to gather and he gave her another son, he just couldn't help it. so Beowulf really doesn't kill Grendels mother he just says he does.....
Underwater, in a lake.
Beowulf discovers that his sword is ineffective against Grendel's mother's tough skin. He discards the sword and instead uses a magical weapon found in her lair to defeat her.
