The Forge Roblox What You Should Do Before the Next Major Update 6 December 2025!

A brand-new Island is coming to The Forge, and the developers have already confirmed several features for the next update. The upcoming area appears to be a snow-themed island with new enemies, a boss fight, fresh weapons, and a new best armor set. If you don’t want to fall behind when the update arrives, now is the time to prepare. Below is a full checklist to get ready before the new Island releases, Also check out our Roblox The Forge Beginner Guide for those interested and the Race Tier List..

What’s Coming in the Next Update

Based on official leaks and Discord previews, players can expect:

• A snow-themed third island
• Brand-new enemies, including tiered variations
• A new boss locked behind a gate in the Volcano area
• New armor, likely stronger than current best gear
• New weapons with new animations
• A possible key item system to unlock the boss gate

From what we know, the boss will be accessible behind a locked gate near the lava pool in the Volcano zone. Players will probably need a key or specific item to activate it.

Step 1: Finish Your Progress in Island 2

Before entering a new island, The Forge always locks access behind a level and gear requirement. To avoid getting stuck:

• Get the Arcane pickaxe or Demonic pickaxe if you’re willing to grind money
• Craft reliable endgame armor (even simple uranium-obsidian builds work)
• Equip a strong weapon for mobs in the Volcano zone

A quick universal armor recipe:

• Uranium
• Eye Ore
• Obsidian
• Mithril

Try ratio mixes like 30/30/30/10 for helmets, chestplates, or leggings as needed.

Step 2: Level Up Before the Island Lock

Island 2 requires Level 10 to enter. The new island will likely demand a much higher requirement. Recommended Level Goal: At least 60–70!

Best spots to level up:

For midgame players

• Train in the mid-level enemy camp near Island 2’s main entrance
• These mobs are easy to farm and level you quickly

For endgame players

• Grind in the Volcano area for higher-level enemies
• Fast kills = fast levels

If you prefer AFK leveling

• Mine the two Basalt nodes in the Volcano area
• AFK between them to gain mining XP and ores
• Sell essences every 15 minutes to avoid a full bag

Step 3: Build Money Later, Focus on Levels Now

Strong ores and new boss drops will likely make money easier to farm on Island 3. Don’t stress too much about cash yet. The main priority is leveling so you don’t get locked out of the new area.

Step 4: Team Up with Other Players

The new boss and tougher mobs will probably be easier to defeat with a group. Playing with other players can:

• Help clear mobs faster
• Make boss fights easier
• Boost efficiency with shared totems

If you enjoy multiplayer grinding, link up with friends or join active communities before the update drops. Group leveling is much faster than solo farming.

Step 5: Consider Unlocking the Goblin Cave

The Goblin Cave is currently underpowered for most players, but it costs around 100,000 coins to access via the Goblin King quest. Since it doesn’t offer much right now, many players ignore it. However, there’s a good chance it will be used in future updates. Unlocking it early may save time later if the developers expand it with new gear or quest content.

Preparing early will save you hours of grinding when the new island arrives. Focus on leveling, finish your gear, and plan for boss access. Don’t skip the weekend boost, and consider unlocking areas that may become important later.

Once the update drops, players who prepare now will reach the new boss first, find new loot faster, and explore Island 3 without delays. Get ready, because a massive expansion is almost here.
