How to Reach Iceberg Island in The Forge?

Getting to the Forge Maze requires careful preparation and understanding of the game’s progression system. Unlike earlier versions where you could swim across, the winter update changed the access mechanics completely.

Prerequisites for Island Access

Before you can even think about exploring the maze, you need to meet these requirements:

Reach Level 70: This unlocks the ability to use the Portal Tool
Obtain Portal Tool: Claim this from the Wizard NPC after reaching level 70
Farm Coinite: Collect at least 1 Coinite ore for the ferry trip
Best Equipment: Equip your best armor and weapons for the challenges ahead

Farming Coinite Efficiently

Coinite is essential for accessing Iceberg Island, and you’ll want to stock up since each trip costs 1 Coinite. Here’s where to find it:

Raven Cave Location: Behind Moro in the main area Mining Spots:

Medium Red Crystal deposits
Large Red Crystal formations
Heart Of The Island Stone nodes

Pro Tip: I recommend farming 5-10 Coinite ores before your first maze run. This ensures you can make multiple trips if needed and won’t get stranded on the main island.

The Ferry Journey

Once you have your Coinite, follow these steps:

Navigate to Frostspire Expanse: Use your Portal Tool to reach World 3
Find the Docks: Follow the path leading to the island’s edge
Locate the Ferry Operator: Look for the NPC at the pier
Pay the Fee: Select “I want to cross to the other side” and pay 1 Coinite
Enjoy the Cutscene: Watch the sailing animation to Iceberg Island
Enter the Maze: Jump down the hole to access the labyrinth

Important: If you leave the game or die, you’ll respawn back on Frostspire Expanse and need to pay the ferry fee again. This makes Coinite management crucial for efficient maze runs.

Complete The Forge Maze Navigation Guide

The Forge Maze is designed to be challenging and changes daily, requiring observation and adaptation rather than memorization. Let me break down the navigation mechanics and strategies I’ve discovered through extensive exploration.

Understanding Maze Mechanics

The maze operates on several key principles:

Daily Reset: The entire layout changes every 24 hours
Environmental Clues: Visual differences indicate correct paths
Fixed Elements: Certain features remain consistent (torch-lit hallways, crossroads)
Progressive Design: Each correct choice brings you closer to the center

Step-by-Step Navigation Method

Based on my research and testing, here’s the most reliable approach to navigate the maze:

From the Start:

Go straight until you reach the first T-junction
Turn left at the first T-junction
Take another left at the second T-junction
Turn left again at the third T-junction
Turn right at the fourth T-junction
Turn right again at the fifth T-junction
Go straight through the crossroads to find the Fungi Shop

From the Crossroads: 8. Take the right path to continue toward the main chamber 9. Turn left at the next T-junction 10. Turn right at the following T-junction 11. Turn right again at the next T-junction 12. Take a left at the final T-junction 13. Continue straight to reach the Angel Room

Advanced Navigation Tips

After completing dozens of maze runs, I’ve discovered these crucial insights:

Environmental Clues to Watch For:

Wall Textures: Slight variations in wall patterns often indicate correct paths
Lighting Changes: Areas with different lighting intensity are usually significant
Floor Patterns: Look for subtle differences in floor textures
Sound Cues: Audio changes can hint at proximity to important areas

Crossroads Strategy:

The Fungi Merchant is always located down one path at major intersections
Finding the merchant confirms you’re on the right track
Use the merchant as a checkpoint in your navigation

Torch-Lit Hallways:

Long corridors with lit torches indicate proximity to the main chamber
These hallways typically appear in the final section of the maze
Follow them carefully to reach the Heavenly Pickaxe room

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does The Forge Maze reset?

The Forge Maze resets daily, with the exact time varying by region. The reset is synchronized with the Fungi Merchant’s shop rotation. For most players, this occurs at 1 AM CET / 4 PM PST, but check the detailed schedule above for your specific timezone.

Do I need to pay the ferry every time?

Yes, each trip to Iceberg Island costs 1 Coinite. This means if you die, leave the game, or need to return to the main island, you’ll need to pay the ferry fee again. I recommend farming 5-10 Coinite before your maze adventures to ensure you can make multiple trips.

Is the Heavenly Pickaxe worth the effort?

Absolutely! The Heavenly Pickaxe offers 725 Mining Power and 85% Luck Boost with 4 Rune Slots, making it one of the best all-around mining tools in the game. While the Angelic Questline requires significant effort, the long-term value and efficiency gains make it a worthwhile investment for serious players.

Can I complete the maze solo?

While it’s possible to complete the maze solo, I recommend teaming up with other players, especially for the Angelic Quests. The enemies in the maze are significantly tougher than regular foes, and having teammates makes both navigation and combat much more manageable.

What happens if I die in the maze?

If you die in the maze, you’ll respawn back on Frostspire Expanse (the main island). This means you’ll need to pay another Coinite to return to Iceberg Island. Always bring extra healing items and consider teaming up to reduce the risk of death.

How do I find the Fungi Merchant quickly?

The Fungi Merchant’s location changes daily with the maze reset. Look for visual clues like glowing mushrooms, unique lighting patterns, or different wall textures. The merchant is typically located near crossroads or in areas with distinctive environmental features.

Can I buy multiple items from the Fungi Shop?

Yes, but stock is limited. Fungi’s Potion has 6 daily stocks, while weapon blueprints have 1 stock each. The shop refreshes daily with the maze reset, so you can return the next day for different items or restocked potions.

What’s the best strategy for the Angelic Quests?

For the Angelic Quests, I recommend teaming up with other players, as defeating 50 Skeleton Pirates and 15 Cthulhu solo can be time-consuming. Focus on one quest at a time, and don’t hesitate to retreat and regroup when overwhelmed.

Are there any shortcuts through the maze?

No legitimate shortcuts exist in the maze. The layout is designed to be explored systematically. Any claims of shortcuts or exploits should be avoided, as they may lead to bugs or potential account issues.

How long does it take to complete the maze?

For experienced players, a complete maze run including the Angelic Quests can take 30-60 minutes. New players should expect 1-2 hours for their first successful run. Time varies based on team size, experience level, and luck with maze layout.

Conclusion

The Forge Maze on Iceberg Island represents one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences in The Forge Roblox game. With daily-changing layouts, powerful rewards like the Heavenly Pickaxe, and the mysterious Fungi Merchant, it offers endless replayability and excitement.

Remember these key takeaways:

Always prepare with adequate Coinite and supplies
Study the reset schedule for optimal timing
Use environmental clues for navigation
Team up with other players for better success
Invest wisely in the Fungi Shop
Complete the Angelic Questline for the Heavenly Pickaxe

The maze rewards patience, observation, and preparation. Don’t get discouraged by initial failures – each run teaches you more about the maze mechanics and brings you closer to mastering this challenging content.
