A native integration for the PC HD Remaster that connects chest pickups, story events and map unlocks to Archipelago. It includes a dedicated client, an in-game stash and optional character-unlock progression.
The published APWorld contains 853 unique location addresses and 292 item IDs. With release defaults, all checks are active and the shuffled pool contains 830 copies; the remaining event items are locked in place. Counts describe source definitions and defaults, not a generated seed or a tested campaign.

853 source-defined unique AP location addresses: chest pickups, story events and companion area-lockout eventsAll 853 source-defined location addresses are active with the release defaults. Gold and three optional-dungeon toggles default on; turning them off reduces the location pool. 793 of the default checks are chest pickups, 38 are story events and 22 are companion area-lockout events.

Known scope and limitations
Requires Grandia HD Remaster on Steam for Windows. Install grandia.apworld and launch Grandia Client from Archipelago; the package embeds a 32-bit DLL that the client injects into grandia.exe. BepInEx is not used. The setup guide documents connecting before loading a save and waiting for SYNC.
The tagged repository includes Win32 client source and an APWorld packaging script; the release package bundles the built 32-bit DLL and runtime overlays. Most packaged native files have byte-identical same-name counterparts in the tagged archive, but the DLL was not rebuilt or independently audited for this review. Story progression and area-lockout triggers have not been tested in a campaign. For Redux, the maintainer setup says to use vanilla game files and not install a separate Redux file pack. Windows native 32-bit injection is documented; Linux or console support is not established.
Keep the client, game and APWorld versions paired; compatibility with other combinations is not established in the reviewed sources.
