Mining efficiently in The Forge is all about having the right tools, and few items are as valuable as the Arcane Pickaxe. This pickaxe not only offers higher mining power but also provides additional perks that make gathering rare ores and resources much faster.
Unlike starter pickaxes, the Arcane Pickaxe is hidden in a secret location, making it a must-have for dedicated players who want to progress quickly. Unlocking it involves completing a special quest, exploring hidden areas, and solving a few puzzles along the way.
If you want to maximize your mining efficiency and take your gameplay to the next level, knowing exactly how to get the Arcane Pickaxe is essential. Also check out our Roblox The Forge Beginner Guide for those interested and the Race Tier List.
What You Need to Know
The Arcane Pickaxe is located inside the Fallen Angel’s Cave, a secret area in The Forge. Accessing this cave is not straightforward—you must first complete the Bard’s Quest to get the key required to enter.
Step 1: Complete the Bard’s Quest
- Find the Bard NPC – He is sitting by a campfire to the left of Maria’s Potion Shop.
- Receive the Quest – Interact with the Bard to start the quest, which requires you to find his missing guitar.
Step 2: Locate the Guitar
The Bard’s Guitar is hidden in the Secret Cave within Stonewake’s Cross. Here’s how to reach it:
- Enter the main cave and follow the pathway until you reach two Quest NPCs.
- Take a hard left and look for a patch of green leaves and moss on the ground.
- Walk over the patch to drop down into the Secret Cave hidden below.
- The guitar is on a ledge to the right of a skeleton. Collect it.
Step 3: Claim the “Unknown Key”
Return to the Bard and hand in the guitar. He will reward you with the Unknown Key, which is essential for unlocking the Fallen Angel’s Cave gate.
Step 4: Enter the Fallen Angel’s Cave
With the Unknown Key in hand:
- Enter the main cave entrance and progress past the two Quest Giver NPCs.
- When you reach the zombies, take a left and approach the locked gate.
- Use the Unknown Key to unlock the gate and access the Fallen Angel’s Cave.
Entering the cave unlocks an achievement and allows you to purchase the Arcane Pickaxe with $125.000 Gold, completing the questline and boosting your mining efficiency significantly.
The Arcane Pickaxe is a valuable addition to your arsenal in The Forge. By following the Bard’s Quest and exploring hidden areas like the Secret Cave, you gain access not only to powerful tools but also achievements that enhance your overall gameplay experience. Make sure to prepare well, as reaching the Fallen Angel’s Cave involves navigating tricky paths and enemies.
