The air hung thick with anticipation as you descended into The Forge, pickaxe in hand. Whispers spoke of a maze, a labyrinth of ice and stone guarding untold riches. Failure meant a cold, lonely death; success, a Heavenly Pickaxe. Today, fortune favors the bold.
Reaching the Iceberg: Your First Steps
Every explorer worth their salt knows preparation is half the battle. Before thinking about the maze itself, you need to reach it. The Forge maze resides within Iceberg Island, a location that requires a small investment of time and resources to access.
Here’s the breakdown:
- First, mine Coinite ores. Target Medium Red Crystal, Large Red Crystal, and Heart Of The Island Stone at the Raven Caves, all found within the Frostspire Expanse. Think of Coinite as your ticket to cross the icy straits.
- Head toward the pier in Frostspire Expanse, the one offering a clear view of Iceberg Island.
- Speak with the ship’s captain. Select the dialogue option indicating your desire to cross over. This request will cost you one Coinite (approximately €0.08), a small price for what awaits.
- Once on Iceberg Island (Island 4), locate the conspicuous hole and jump. This leap of faith deposits you directly at the maze’s entrance.
Conquering the Labyrinth: Step-by-Step
The maze itself is a test of memory and spatial reasoning. It’s easy to get turned around. The reward, however, is worth the effort: the Fungi shop and the Angel Room, home to the Heavenly Pickaxe.
Follow this sequence carefully:
- From the starting point, proceed straight until you encounter a T-junction. Turn left.
- At the next T-junction, turn left once more.
- Take another left at the subsequent T-junction.
- At the fourth T-junction, make a right turn.
- Turn right again at the fifth T-junction.
- Continue straight through the crossroads. This path leads directly to the Fungi Shop.
- From the crossroads, select the right-hand path.
- Turn left at the following T-junction.
- Turn right at the next T-junction.
- Turn right again at the next T-junction.
- Take a final left at the last T-junction, continuing straight to reach your destination: the Angel Room.
What awaits you in the Angel Room?
Within the Angel Room, you’ll find more than just the Heavenly Pickaxe. This location also serves as the starting point for Angelic quests, should you choose to pursue them. Think of the Heavenly Pickaxe as the key, and the Angelic quests as the treasure. But be warned: these quests are not for the faint of heart. They demand dedication, skill, and a willingness to face challenges that will test your limits.
Do you need to bring Coinite every single time to access the Forge maze on Iceberg Island?
Yes. Each roundtrip across to Iceberg Island will cost you one Coinite (approximately €0.08). If you intend to leave and return, stock up accordingly. Coinite, in this case, is less a toll and more the price of admission to a high-stakes game.
The Forge maze is more than just a challenge; it’s a gateway. Will you step through it, or remain forever on the outside, wondering what might have been?
