Locating Adamantine Forge

This is the first step that leads you to use Adamantine Forge. We have to get to its exact location in order to interact with it. Adamantine Forge is located deep down in the Underdark. We know it is an entirely different world than Baldur’s Gate 3’s main world map.

Finding Adamantine Forge in the Underdark can be challenging for most beginners or mainly for those who are visiting this place for the first time. If you have already visited the Underdark then it won’t be much difficult for you. And you may have already completed some of the quests in there.

The Path to Adamantine Forge

Now, let’s just take a look at the path that leads us to Adamantine Forge. You have to make your way from the Grymforge Teleport Waypoint. From here, take the stairs and keep on moving to the north. This takes you to a point where you will meet Duergar and Deep Rothe, you will see them near a cave-in.

Upon reaching that point, interact with them and they will tell you about the Adamantine Forge. The way to the forge is actually from that cave-in but it is blocked by the fallen rocks.

Opening the Entrance to Cave-In

The rocks must be removed from that place to reveal the entrance. There are three possible ways to clear the rubble at the entrance. Explosives or spells can be used to blow up the rocks. Duergar can be assisted by forcing Rothe to destroy the rocks. If you have the ability to speak to animals then you can turn on the Duergar.

Once the rocks are destroyed by either of these ways, the entrance will be clear and you can carry on your journey. The entrance will take you to a different place that has a bit of a tricky thing to do.

Finding the Adamantine Forge

Upon entering the cave-in, you will see a staircase. Continue your path on the stairs and climb down on your first left of the iron ladder. Now, this place has some traps that you have to go through.

Here, you can see a lifted spot, jump onto that spot and keep moving until you see another lifted platform. There you can also see some levers on your left side. Now, what you need to do is raise the platform.

This can be done by hitting one of the levers on the right side. You can make use of ranged attacks here. Use the attack to hit the lever and raise the platform. After that hit the second lever, and it will move the platform.

Now, jump down on the ground and take the staircase. This will directly take you to the Adamantine Forge.

Using Adamantine Forge

Using Adamantine Forge requires two items. These are Mould and Mithril Ore. Both of these items are available within the Grymforge. But, they are a bit harder to find.

Gathering Mithril Ore requires visiting a spot where you will have to fight enemies and clear the area. Once the spot is cleared you can collect the ore.

Upon getting both of these items, you can interact with the Adamantine Forge. All you need to do is place these items at their corresponding places. The mould gets placed in the Mould Chamber and Mithril Place is placed in the Crucible.

To place a mould in the chamber, interact with the chamber to open it. Upon interacting with it, you will get the option to choose the mould from your inventory. Pick up the mould that you have in your inventory and place it in the chamber.

Now, move on to the Crucible and interact with it, this will give you the option to place the Mithril Ore inside the crucible. Just select the ore from your inventory and place it.

The last thing you wanna do is activate the Forge Lever. Upon activating the Forge Lever, the platform will get lowered and you will have access to the Lava Valve. Release the valve then once again pull the lever. Finally, you can now collect your item from the Mould Chamber.

Defeating Grym Boss

Well, now you know the overall process of using the Adamantine Forge. But, this has a twist, once you pull the lever at the forge. A Grym Boss will appear and you have to fight with it. Only after killing the boss, you can continue crafting your item.

This Grym Boss is not an easy target. The only best way to defeat the Grym is by pushing it towards the anvil and dropping the hammer on it. The trick here is, that you must place one of your party members on the Lava Valve.

Lure the Grym Boss on the anvil and activate the Laval Valve to drop down the hammer. In just two turns, the Grym Boss can be defeated. But luring it to the anvil is quite hard and you have to do it somehow.

Where to Find Mithril Ore and Moulds

Mithril Ore and Moulds are the two main items required at the Adamantine Forge. Without these items, you cannot craft anything at the forge. So, before you interact with the Adamantine Forge, make sure that you have got your hands on these two essential items.

Getting Mithril Ore

Mithril Ore is available within the Grymforge. There are two different locations where you can find it. But, both of these locations have some enemies. So, you are not gonna get the ore without defeating the threats at the spot.

The first location is at the Southwest of the Ancient Forge Waypoint. This spot is accessible on the ground section where you can see the lava. Upon reaching this spot, a few enemies will spawn. Finish them off and make your way to the banks of lava.

Here, you will see Mithril Veins. Attack these veins with your spells to extract the Mithril Ore. Collect as much ore as you can.

The next location is on the Southeast of Ancient Forge. This place has a section which can be identified as bookshelves. Make your way through this spot and head down using the stairs. You need to clear the gaps and jump through the lava streams to make it to the Mithril Veins.

Clear the area from the threats and start attacking the veins to collect Mithril Ore. Once you have collected enough of the ore, you can return back to the Adamantine Forge with the same passage.

Getting Moulds

Now, you need to collect the moulds. As we know Adamantine Forge can craft weapons and armors, so we need both weapons and armor moulds. These moulds can be found at different spots in Grymforge.

Most of the moulds are located around the spots near the Ancient Forge. The very first spot is at the rubble which is in the way of Ancient Forge. Here, you should look for a skeleton. Loot this skeleton to get Scimitar Mould.

The next mould is found just below the previous spot. Jump the wide gap and look for another mould on the ground level. Similarly, you can search the area close to Ancient Forge to find the rest of the moulds.

How Do I Use Adamantine Forge BG3?

Adamantine Forge consists of three parts, these are Mould Chamber, Crucible, and Lever. The Mould Chamber and Crucible require their corresponding items which can be placed in them.

For Mould Chamber you will need to place either a weapon mould or an armor mould. Then get to the crucible and place Mithril Ore in it. Once both of the items are in their place, pull the lever to start the crafting process.

But as soon as you pull the lever, Grym Boss will appear on the platform. This boss must be defeated before you can complete the crafting process. Defeat the boss to finish crafting your item.

Is Adamantine Forge Worth It?

Adamantine Forge is worth all of the hard work. That’s because the resulting product is extremely useful. You will get the weapons and armor sets.

Both of these items are helpful in tough battles. The weapons can do greater damage than most of the ordinary weapons and the armor can deflect the incoming damage from your enemy.

How Do You Forge Weapons in BG3?

Forging weapons at Adamantine Forge requires using weapon moulds and Mithril Ore. Each weapon requires its corresponding mould. The moulds can be found in the Grymforge. Most of them are located around the Ancient Forge within the Grymforge.

Search out the area to obtain all of the moulds. I would suggest you collect all the moulds and Mithril Ore first then go for the crafting at Adamantine Forge.

That’s everything for Baldur’s Gate 3 How to Get and Use Adamantine Forge guide. You see that the forge is located in the Underdark right at the Grymforge. When you are making your way into the place, you will have to face challenging spots where you can do different little things to reveal the passages.

Once you have found the Adamantine Forge, you will have to place the required items such as moulds and Mithril Ore at their corresponding places which are Mould Chamber and Crucible.

After that pull the lever and fight off the Grym Boss. As soon as the boss is finished you can continue the crafting process and finally get your item.
