Quests in The Forge are absolutely essential for progression – they’re not just side content but the backbone of your journey from a novice miner to a forge master. Each quest teaches you crucial mechanics, provides valuable rewards, and unlocks new areas that contain even more powerful resources and challenges.
The Forge Quest System Overview
The Forge revolves around three core activities: mining, forging, and fighting. Quests seamlessly integrate all three elements, creating a natural progression flow that teaches you game mechanics while rewarding you with everything from basic equipment to legendary keys that unlock endgame content.
What makes The Forge quests special is how they’re scattered across multiple areas with NPCs that have distinct personalities and quest styles. Some NPCs like Sensei Moro guide you through structured tutorial chains, while others like the mysterious Masked Stranger throw you into challenging combat scenarios. The December 6, 2026 update even added entirely new questlines with the Demon Skal character, showing that the developers are continuously expanding the quest system.
Pro Tip: Always check for question marks above NPC heads – these indicate active quests. Some NPCs only appear after you reach certain levels or complete prerequisite quests, so revisit areas regularly as you progress!
Complete Tutorial Quest Walkthrough (Sensei Moro Chain)
The tutorial quests are your introduction to The Forge’s core mechanics. Sensei Moro, located beside the forging station at both Stonewake’s Cross and the Forgotten Kingdom, guides you through this essential learning curve. Don’t rush through these – they teach fundamental skills you’ll use throughout your entire Forge journey.
Getting Started!
Objective: Talk to Sensei Moro
Rewards: Stone pickaxe, EXP
Location: Beside the forging station at Stonewake’s Cross
This is where everything begins! Sensei Moro stands right next to the massive forge in the starting area. Simply walk up and interact with him to receive your first quest and trusty stone pickaxe. This pickaxe will be your best friend for the first few hours, so treat it well!
First Pickaxe!
Objectives:
- Open ‘Equipments’
- Equip your stone pickaxe
- Get six ore
Rewards: EXP
Tips: After talking to Sensei Moro, open your inventory (T key on PC) and navigate to the Equipment tab. Select your stone pickaxe and equip it. Now head into the nearby cave – those grayish rocks are your targets. Each rock takes about 4 hits with your stone pickaxe and drops 1-2 ore when broken. Mine until you have exactly six ore.
Pro Strategy: Stick to the entrance area of the cave at first. Deeper areas spawn stronger zombies that can overwhelm beginners. Safety first!
Learning to Forge!
Objectives: Forge two weapons
Rewards: EXP
Location: Back at the forge where you met Sensei Moro
This is where the magic happens! Return to the forge and interact with it. You’ll need to:
- Add at least 3 ore to the crucible (more ore = better item chances)
- Select “Weapon” category
- Hit the “FORGE!” button
Now comes the fun part – the forging minigames:
- Pump the Bellows: Hold and move the green button up and down rapidly to fill the temperature bar
- Pour the Metal: Keep the white line inside the yellow zone as it moves up and down
- Break the Mold: Tap the metal block to reveal your weapon
- Final Assembly: Tap when circles align perfectly for the best quality
You need to complete this process twice to finish the quest. Don’t worry if your first attempts aren’t perfect – practice makes perfect!
Getting Equipped!
Objectives:
- Equip one of the weapons
- Sell the other weapon
Rewards: EXP
Tips: After forging, equip your best weapon from the inventory. Then find Marbles (the NPC under the crossed swords sign opposite the forge) and sell your extra weapon. This teaches you the valuable lesson that forged items sell for much more than raw ore!
New Pickaxe!
Objectives:
- Purchase a bronze pickaxe
- Get ten ore
- Kill one zombie
Rewards: EXP
Strategy: Buy the bronze pickaxe from Miner Fred’s stall for $150. This upgrade makes mining much faster! Now mine 10 ore (rocks take 7 hits with bronze pickaxe). For the zombie kill, switch to your weapon – pickaxe kills don’t count for this quest!
Common Mistake: Many players try to kill zombies with their pickaxe and wonder why the quest doesn’t complete. Always switch to your equipped weapon for combat objectives!
Preparing for Battle!
Objectives: Forge two armors
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Same forging process as weapons, but select the “Armor” category instead. Armor is crucial for survival as you progress, so take this opportunity to build your defense.
Forging Under Pressure
Objectives:
- Purchase an iron pickaxe
- Kill three zombies
- Forge any three items
- Get 35 ore
Rewards: EXP
Strategy: This quest combines everything you’ve learned. The iron pickaxe costs more but mines even faster. Be careful in the caves now – zombies spawn at higher levels and can gang up on you quickly. Consider forging armor before attempting the combat objectives.
Reporting In
Objective: Talk to Sensei Moro
Rewards: Small and large essences, EXP
Tips: A simple return quest that rewards you with valuable essences for future enhancements.
The First Upgrade
Objectives: Enhance any item to +3
Rewards: Runes, EXP
Location: Enhancer shop opposite the forge
Enhancement is crucial for progression! Visit the enhancer and select your best equipment piece. Enhancement costs money and essences, but significantly boosts your stats. Enhance the same item three times to complete this quest.
Runes of Power
Objectives: Attach a rune to any equipment
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Visit the runemaker opposite the enhancer shop. Select an equipment piece and follow the tutorial to attach a rune. Runes provide powerful bonuses that can completely change your playstyle!
End of the Beginning
Objective: Talk to Sensei Moro
Rewards: EXP
Tips: Sensei Moro congratulates you on completing the tutorial and hints at future adventures.
Everything Starts Now
Objective: Talk to the Wizard
Rewards: Portal tool, EXP
Location: Wizard’s Tower up the hill between Marbles’ shop and the cave
This is the gateway to endgame content! The Wizard gives you the portal tool, but you need to reach level 10 before using it to teleport to the Forgotten Kingdom.
Pro Tip: While grinding to level 10, focus on completing other available quests and forging better equipment. The Forgotten Kingdom is much more challenging than Stonewake’s Cross!
Major Side Quests Complete Guide
Once you’ve mastered the basics, these major side quests offer substantial rewards and unlock new areas. I’ve completed each of these multiple times and can tell you they’re absolutely worth the effort!
The Lost Guitar (Bard’s Quest)
Quest Start: Talk to the Bard
Location: Campfire near Maria’s potions shop in Stonewake’s Cross
Objectives: Find the Bard’s lost guitar
Rewards: Unknown Key, Guitar Finder Badge, EXP, Cash
This is one of the first major side quests you’ll encounter, and it’s a perfect introduction to The Forge’s secret areas. The Bard sits by the campfire looking melancholic without his instrument.
Step-by-Step Solution:
- Enter “The Cave” (the main mine entrance)
- Go down the ramp and immediately stick to the left wall
- Continue following the left wall past wooden support beams
- Look for a brown patch of dirt with grass behind it
- Walk against this section of wall – you’ll fall through into the Secret Cave
- Inside, you’ll find a skeleton with the guitar on a nearby ledge
- Pick up the guitar and climb the ladder to exit
- Return to the Bard for your rewards
Pro Strategy: The Unknown Key you receive unlocks the Fallen Angel’s Cave, where you can purchase the Arcane Pickaxe for $125,000. This pickaxe has excellent mining power and is worth saving for!
Common Mistake: Many players search the entire main cave without finding the guitar. Remember – it’s in a hidden area accessed by walking through a specific wall section!
The Goblin King Quest Chain
Quest Start: Talk to the Goblin King
Requirements: Complete tutorial quests, reach level 10, access Forgotten Kingdom
Location: Between the Enhancer and Fisher NPCs in Forgotten Kingdom
Objectives:
- Bring $5,000 to the Goblin King
- Bring $10,000 and three Topaz to the Goblin King
- Bring $15,000 and five Diamonds to the Goblin King
- Bring $20,000 and five Emeralds to the Goblin King
- Bring $25,000 and five Rubies to the Goblin King
Rewards: Goblin Cave Key, EXP, access to Goblin Cave biome
This is one of the most expensive but rewarding quest chains in The Forge. The Goblin King guards access to the Goblin Cave, which contains rare resources and Tomo’s missing cat!
Money-Making Strategy: Before attempting this quest chain, focus on:
- Mining and selling valuable ores
- Completing combat quests for cash rewards
- Selling forged weapons and armor (they sell for 3-5x more than raw ore)
Gem Collection Tips:
- Topaz: Found in mid-level mining areas
- Diamonds: Rare drops from high-level rocks
- Emeralds: Often found in deeper cave sections
- Rubies: The rarest, usually require high-level pickaxes
Pro Tip: The Goblin Cave you unlock contains some of the best mining spots in the game and is essential for completing Tomo’s quest. Consider this an investment in your future progression!
Tomo’s Lost Cat Quest
Quest Start: Talk to Tomo the Explorist
Location: On the climb leading out of the first zone, behind Greedy Cey NPC
Objectives: Find Tomo’s missing cat
Rewards: Cat Lover title, EXP, Cash
This adorable quest has you searching for a lost feline friend. However, there’s a catch – you can only complete this quest after unlocking the Goblin Cave!
Complete Solution:
- First, complete the Goblin King quest chain to unlock the Goblin Cave
- Enter the Goblin Cave and head to the back area
- Look for a waterfall – the cat is hiding behind it
- Interact with the cat to rescue it
- Return to Tomo for your rewards
Pro Strategy: The Cat Lover title is mostly cosmetic but shows off your quest completion prowess. More importantly, this quest teaches you about the hidden areas within the Goblin Cave that contain valuable resources!
Umut the Brave Combat Quests
Quest Start: Talk to Umut the Brave
Location: Left side of The Cave in Stonewake’s Cross
Quest Type: Recurring combat challenges
Objectives: Various zombie kill quests (4 zombies, 5 zombies, 8 zombies, etc.)
Rewards: Cash, EXP
Umut is your go-to NPC for combat practice and consistent cash flow. His quests are straightforward but excellent for grinding levels and money.
Combat Optimization Tips:
- Always use your best weapon for these quests
- Consider forging weapons with area damage for crowd control
- Use enhancement and runes to maximize your damage output
- Fight in areas where you can corner zombies to avoid being surrounded
Pro Strategy: These quests scale with your level, making them relevant throughout your playthrough. Use them as reliable income sources between major quest objectives!
Nord’s Mining Quests
Quest Start: Talk to Nord
Location: Facing the exit inside The Cave
Quest Type: Recurring mining challenges
Objectives: Collect specific types and quantities of ores
Rewards: EXP, mining practice
Nord teaches you the art of efficient mining. His quests range from simple stone collection to challenging rare ore gathering missions.
Mining Optimization:
- Always use the best pickaxe available to you
- Upgrade your pickaxe whenever possible for faster mining
- Learn rock respawn times to optimize your farming routes
- Consider luck-boosting equipment for rare ore drops
Pro Tip: Nord’s quests are excellent for learning the layout of different mining areas and identifying the most profitable mining routes!
New December 2025 Quest: Demon Skal & Demonite Key
The December 6, 2026 update introduced an exciting new endgame quest line centered around the mysterious Demon Skal and the powerful Demonite Key. This quest represents some of the most challenging content in The Forge currently available.
Demon Skal Quest
Quest Start: Talk to Demon Skal
Added: December 6, 2026 update
Location: Secret room in Volcanic Depths, Forgotten Kingdom
Requirements: Access to Forgotten Kingdom, high-level pickaxe
Objectives: Bring 3 Demonite ores to Demon Skal
Rewards: Demonite Key, access to Demonic Pickaxe room
This is the newest and most challenging quest in The Forge as of March 2026. Demon Skal is located in a hidden area within the Volcanic Depths, making this quest an adventure in itself!
Complete Step-by-Step Guide:
- Reach the Forgotten Kingdom: Complete the tutorial quests and reach level 10 to use the portal tool
- Navigate to the Volcanic Depths:
- Use the massive cannon to reach the hilltop
- Enter the Ruined Caves area
- Follow the path until you see the “danger” sign indicating the volcanic zone
- Find Demon Skal’s Location:
- Take the right path at the first fork
- Take another right turn to reach the room with Amber NPC
- Break the Basalt Vein to access the lower room
- Walk past the molten lava and take the right path
- Look for a secret room on the left side of the locked Demonic Pickaxe door
- Start the Quest: Interact with Demon Skal and choose the first dialogue option to learn about the Demonite requirement
- Farm Demonite Ores:
- Break Volcanic Rocks in the Volcanic Depths area
- You need a pickaxe with at least 100 Mining Power
- Demonite has an extremely low drop rate: 1 in 3666 chance
- This is intentionally grind-heavy and designed as endgame content
- Complete the Quest: Return to Demon Skal with 3 Demonite ores and receive the Demonite Key
Demonite Key Usage: The Demonite Key unlocks the previously locked Demonic Pickaxe room. Inside, you can purchase the Demonic Pickaxe for $500,000. This incredible pickaxe boasts:
- 175 Mining Power (one of the highest in the game)
- Three Rune Slots for maximum customization
- Ability to mine the rarest and most valuable ores
Pro Strategy for Demonite Farming:
- Use the highest luck-boosting equipment you have
- Mine in groups to increase overall drop chances
- Consider using luck-boosting potions if available
- The Demonic Race (if you have it) may provide additional luck benefits
- This is a long-term goal – don’t expect to complete it quickly!
Is It Worth It? The Demonic Pickaxe is currently one of the best mining tools in The Forge. If you’re serious about endgame content and rare ore collection, this quest is essential. However, be prepared for a significant time and resource investment!

Advanced Quest Optimization Strategies
Ready to take your quest completion to the next level? These advanced strategies will help you optimize your questing efficiency and maximize your rewards!
Route Optimization
The Ultimate Questing Circuit: I’ve developed an optimal route that hits multiple quest NPCs in a single run:
- Start at Sensei Moro (Stonewake’s Cross) for any available quests
- Visit Bard (nearby campfire) for guitar quest
- Enter The Cave – hit Umut (left side) and Nord (facing exit)
- Exit cave, visit Tomo (path to Wizard)
- Use portal to Forgotten Kingdom
- Visit Sensei Moro (Forgotten Kingdom location)
- Hit Barakkulf (nearby)
- Proceed to Captain Rowan and Isaac (Ruined Cave area)
- Find Masked Stranger (near ruined cave entrance)
- End with Goblin King (between Enhancer and Fisher)
This route minimizes travel time and maximizes quest efficiency!
Resource Management for Quests
Smart Inventory Management:
- Always keep 3-5 of each common ore for sudden quest requirements
- Maintain a cash reserve of at least $10,000 for expensive quest chains
- Store valuable gems (Topaz, Diamonds, Emeraldalds, Rubies) separately from regular inventory
- Use equipment slots effectively – don’t carry multiple pickaxes or weapons unnecessarily
Pro Tip: The Forge’s inventory system can get cluttered quickly. Regularly sell excess items and organize your inventory to make quest items easy to find!
Combat Optimization for Quests
Best Combat Setups:
- Area Damage Weapons: Perfect for Umut’s zombie kill quests
- Single-Target High Damage: Ideal for elite enemy hunts
- Status Effect Weapons: Poison, fire, or ice effects help with tougher enemies
- Luck-Boosting Gear: Essential for rare drops and resource quests
Combat Strategy:
- Always fight in open areas where you can maneuver
- Learn enemy attack patterns to dodge effectively
- Use the environment to corner enemies
- Don’t hesitate to retreat and heal when necessary
Mining Optimization for Quests
Mining Efficiency Tips:
- Use the highest-level pickaxe available
- Learn rock respawn times (typically 5-10 minutes)
- Mine in patterns rather than randomly
- Focus on high-value ores when possible
- Use luck-boosting equipment for rare ore quests
Best Mining Routes:
- Stonewake’s Cross Cave: Loop from entrance to back and return
- Forgotten Kingdom Cave: Focus on basalt and volcanic areas
- Goblin Cave: High-value ores but more dangerous
- Volcanic Depths: Endgame ores with Demonite potential
