The Forge Yeti Location & Bjorn Quest (January 2026) Complete Guide
Stuck on the “Beast of the Frozen Peak” quest? You’re not alone! Many players confuse the Yeti with the Crystal Golem, or simply can’t find him because he doesn’t have a fixed spawn point. As someone who’s spent countless hours exploring every corner of Frostpire Expanse, I’ll share everything you need to know about finding and defeating the Yeti, completing Bjorn’s entire questline, and fixing those annoying bugs that can halt your progress.
Quick Reference
| Aspect | Key Information | Important Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Yeti Location | Ice Crystal Cave, Island 3 (Frostpire Expanse) | Deep inside, roaming in the largest cavern |
| Spawn Timer | 10-15 minutes after death | Hop servers if not spawning |
| Quest Prerequisite | Complete all previous Bjorn quests | Must finish “Wrath of Stone” first |
| Yeti Health | ~14,000 HP | Much less tanky than Crystal Golem (37k HP) |
| Best Weapon Type | Crossbows or Bows | Ranged kiting strategy recommended |
| Essential Rune | Flame Spark | Fire DOT against Ice-type enemy |
Part 1: Exact Yeti Location & Spawn Mechanics
Where to Find the Yeti?
Unlike the Crystal Golem which sits in an arena, the Yeti is a Roaming Mini-Boss. If you wait at the cave entrance, you’ll never see him. Here’s exactly where to find him:
- Go to Island 3 (Frostpire Expanse)
- Enter the Ice Crystal Cave (This is the cave infested with Crystal Spiders)
- Go Deep: Don’t stop at the first few chambers. Follow the main path downwards until the cave opens up into a massive, high-ceiling cavern
- Look for Movement: The Yeti walks a patrol route in this deepest section. He’s a large, white-furred bipedal monster
⚠️ Critical Spawn Timer: The Yeti respawns approximately 10-15 minutes after being killed. If the cave is empty, hop servers immediately rather than waiting. I’ve wasted hours waiting before learning this!
Spawn Mechanics You Need to Know
The Yeti doesn’t have a fixed spawn point like other bosses. Instead, he:
- Patrols the deepest section of the Ice Crystal Cave
- Spawns randomly along his patrol route
- Can spawn in multiple locations within the large cavern area
- Shares spawn mechanics with other roaming enemies
Pro Tip: Clear out all Crystal Spiders and other enemies in the area first. This makes it easier to spot the Yeti and prevents getting overwhelmed during the fight.
Part 2: Complete Bjorn Questline Walkthrough
To unlock the Yeti fight, you must progress through Bjorn’s complete questline. Bjorn is the Viking NPC located near the docks of Island 3. Here’s the verified quest order:
Phase 1: The Introduction
Getting to Island 3
- Objective: Talk to ‘Bjorn’: 0/1
- Location: Near the docks of Island 3
- Tips: Make sure you’re properly geared before continuing, as enemies here are stronger than previous islands
Getting to Know Around!
- Objective: Kill 5 Crystal Spiders
- Location: Ice Crystal Cave entrance areas
- Strategy: These are common enemies, so this quest is straightforward
Bjorn’s Orders
- Objective: Talk to Sensei Moro (Island 3)
- Location: Near the forge in Island 3
- Note: This acts as a progression gate to the next phase
Phase 2: The Gathering & Grinding
Lessons in the Cold
- Objectives:
- Gather 5 Tungsten
- Gather 5 Sulfur
- Mine 15 Icy Pebbles
- Strategy: Focus on mining routes instead of random wandering to finish faster
- Best Locations: Check mining nodes throughout Frostpire Expanse
Threads of the North
- Objectives:
- Kill 30 Crystal Spiders
- Kill 10 Diamond Spiders
- Strategy: Diamond Spiders spawn deeper in caves, often mixed with Crystal Spiders. Clearing cave zones fully helps speed this up
Steel Against the Cold
- Objectives:
- Kill 3 Prismarine Spiders
- Kill 20 Common Orcs
- Locations:
- Prismarine Spiders: Specific icy cave sections (less common)
- Common Orcs: Surface camps throughout Island 3
Clearing the Warpath
- Objective: Kill 50 Common Orcs
- Strategy: This is a pure grind quest. Look for Orc camps with fast respawn rates
Phase 3: The Elite Challenge
Breaking the Horde
- Objectives:
- Kill 15 Elite Orcs
- Kill 35 Common Orcs
- Strategy: Elite Orcs are tougher and usually guarded by other enemies. Group pulls help here
Wrath of the North
- Objective: Kill 40 Elite Orcs
- Challenge: One of the longest quests. Focus only on Elite Orc spawn areas and avoid unnecessary fights
Shattering the Front
- Objectives:
- Kill 15 Crystal Golems
- Kill 25 Elite Orcs
- Strategy: Crystal Golems are tanky enemies found in open icy areas and near caves. Use skill damage builds if possible
Wrath of Stone
- Objective: Kill 30 Crystal Golems
- Challenge: Another grind-heavy quest. Farming routes are key here
Phase 4: The Climax – Yeti Quest
Beast of the Frozen Peak
- Objectives:
- Kill 1 Yeti
- Kill 20 Crystal Golems
- Critical Note: Make sure you kill the 20 Crystal Golems FIRST before killing the Yeti. Some players report the counter bugs out if the Yeti is killed first
Part 3: Combat Strategy & Loadout
The Yeti isn’t as tanky as the Golem (~14k HP vs 37k HP), but he hits hard and has some dangerous abilities.
Recommended Build
Essential Runes
- Flame Spark (MANDATORY): The Yeti is an Ice-type enemy, making him weak to Fire Damage Over Time (DOT)
- Critical: To burst him down quickly before other players interfere
Weapon Choice
- Crossbows or Bows (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED): The Yeti is slow. Ranged weapons allow you to kite him effortlessly without taking damage
- Alternative: Fast melee weapons if you prefer close combat (but expect to take damage)
Yeti Moveset & Combat Tips
The Roar
- When it happens: When he stops to roar
- Effect: His attack speed increases significantly
- Counter: Keep your distance during the roar animation
Ice Punch
- Description: Standard melee attack
- Counter: Easy to dodge if you keep moving backwards
- Timing: Watch for the telegraphed wind-up animation
Area of Effect Attacks
- Ice Slam: Ground pound attack that damages nearby players
- Counter: Dodge roll or move away when he raises both arms
Advanced Combat Strategies
- Kiting Method: Maintain distance while shooting, never let him get close
- Corner Strategy: Fight in the center of the room to avoid getting stuck on cave geometry
- Party Coordination: If in a group, designate one player to kite while others damage
- Resource Management: Bring health potions and mana potions if using abilities
Part 4: Bug Fixes & Workarounds
The “Bjorn Quest Bug” Problem
Many players report that after killing the Yeti, the quest “Beast of the Frozen Peak” does not complete, or the next quest doesn’t appear.
Why This Happens
It’s often a “Shared Credit” glitch where the game fails to register the kill for everyone in a party, or a quest order bug where killing the Yeti before completing other objectives breaks the progression.
Community-Tested Workarounds
- Solo Kill Method
- Leave your party
- Try to damage the Yeti alone
- This ensures the “Kill Credit” goes 100% to you
- The “Last Hit” Rule
- Ensure you deal the final blow
- Use high-damage skills when his HP is low
- Coordinate with party members to let you get the last hit
- Server Rejoin Method
- Sometimes the UI is just laggy
- Leave and rejoin the server
- The quest might update automatically
- Quest Order Fix
- Make sure you have killed the 20 Crystal Golems FIRST before killing the Yeti
- Some players report the counter bugs out if the Yeti is killed first
If All Else Fails
If none of these workarounds solve your issue:
- Don’t repeat objectives (this can sometimes make it worse)
- Ignore the quest temporarily and wait for an official fix
- Report the bug through official Discord channels
- The developers are aware of this issue and working on fixes
Part 5: Rewards & What to Expect?
Yeti Drops
- Gold: Varies by level and luck
- XP: Substantial amount for quest completion
- Essence: Tiny/Small/Medium Essence drops
- NO LEGENDARY WEAPONS: As of the current update, the Yeti does NOT drop weapons like the Cryo Greatsword (that drops from the Golem)
Quest Completion Rewards
- Large XP boost for completing the entire Bjorn questline
- Gold rewards that increase with each quest
- Access to late Island 3 content
- Progress toward Winter Update objectives
Part 6: Pro Tips & Advanced Strategies
Speed Running the Questline
- Combine Objectives When Possible
- Orc and Golem quests often overlap in location
- Kill both types while in the same area
- Use AoE or Skill Damage Builds
- Essential for the grind-heavy sections
- Makes killing 30+ enemies much faster
- Learn Spawn Routes
- Instead of roaming randomly, learn the patterns
- Focus on high-density spawn areas
- Save Boss Hunts for Last
- Complete all grinding objectives first
- Then focus on the Yeti fight with full attention
Server Hopping Strategy
- For Yeti Spawning: Hop servers every 2-3 minutes if the Yeti isn’t present
- For Grinding: Stay in one server with good spawn rates
- For Bug Fixes: Server hop after completing the Yeti quest if it doesn’t update
Resource Management
- Bring Ample Supplies: Health potions, weapons repair materials
- Optimize Loadout: Fire damage for Yeti, AoE for grinding
- Inventory Management: Keep space open for quest rewards and drops
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Yeti drop any legendary weapons?
A: No. As of the current update, the Yeti only drops Gold, XP, and Essence (Tiny/Small/Medium). Do not farm him expecting a weapon drop like the Cryo Greatsword (that drops from the Golem).
Q: Is the Yeti stronger than the Golem?
A: No. The Yeti is a Mini-Boss with approximately 14,000 HP. The Crystal Golem is the Main Boss of the area with significantly more Health (37,000 HP).
Q: Why can’t I talk to Bjorn after the Yeti quest?
A: If the quest completed but Bjorn has no new dialogue, check your quest log. If it’s empty, try re-logging. If the issue persists, it’s a server-side bug acknowledged by developers—wait for a patch, but try the “Solo Kill” method first.
Q: What’s the best weapon to fight the Yeti?
A: Crossbows or Bows are highly recommended. The Yeti is slow, and ranged weapons allow you to kite him effortlessly without taking damage.
Q: How long does it take for the Yeti to respawn?
A: The Yeti respawns approximately 10-15 minutes after being killed. If the cave is empty, it’s more efficient to hop servers than to wait.
Q: Can I fight the Yeti solo?
A: Yes, the Yeti can be fought solo and is actually easier to manage alone due to avoiding the “Shared Credit” bug that can occur in parties.
Q: What level should I be to fight the Yeti?
A: While there’s no strict level requirement, it’s recommended to be at least Level 15-20 with appropriate gear for Island 3 before attempting the Yeti fight.
