There are many quests in Baldur’s Gate 3 where you can get interesting things. Some valuable items are in interesting secret places. We will tell you about one of these unique places in this article, called “Adamantite Forge”. After going through all the difficulties, you can get very rare and valuable items, as well as earn valuable experience for the heroes. And of course, a lot of pleasant experiences with several reboots of the game.
The road to such a mysterious place will not be easy, since you need to solve puzzles and there are traps with a trap. In addition, upon arrival at the place there will be a very strong boss, “Eternal Defender of the Forge Grim.” In one of the traps, the enemies managed to defeat the team and had to reboot. The fact is that the opponents attacked from a hidden position, and our heroes did not see them. We do not recommend going around difficult places with enemies in the area, as there are very important things there.
We’ll tell you where it is and how to get to the Adamantite Forge. Solutions to puzzles for getting into the Adamantite Forge are indicated. All forms and locations of ore are listed. You can familiarize yourself with the proposed solution to the battle with the boss “Eternal Defender of the Grim Forge”. As well as the process of working and forging rare items.
Completing the quest “Adamantite Forge” or the Infernal Forge.
There are only two ways to obtain information about the Adamantite Forge at this point in time. The first way is by reading the note from the character Filro the Funny in the “Terrible Hollow” location and the second way is by using the Drow memory crystal. You can take the first path, to do this we defeat the character Filro the Funny, and then read the note he has. After reading the note, we learn about the “Adamantite Forge” and go to the Dwarven city of Grimforge.
Selecting suitable characters for completing the Adamantite Forge.
Before starting an expedition to the Adamantite Forge, you need to be well prepared and take suitable heroes with you. You can go with your team that you are playing with at the moment, but there will be different difficulties in passing. We recommend taking heroes with the abilities “Misty Step”, “Teleport” and “Jumping”, this will be required to jump over cliffs and obstacles. The listed abilities will help not only get to the forge itself, but also in the battle with the boss “Eternal Defender of the Forge Grim.”
Where is the Adamantite Forge located on the Baldurs Gate 3 map.
Road to the Adamantite Forge, Grimforge dungeon.
The road to the Adamantite Forge begins from the Goblin camp; you need to clear the camp and explore the territory. In one of the places there will be doors behind which there is a puzzle. To solve the puzzle, simply spin the dials and move the black dots towards the sunlight. All black dots on the disks on the floor should be in the solar circle. After this, a passage to further passage will open.
First, we need to find the location “Dilapidated Village”, we go southeast of the waygate “Dungeon – Sussur Tree”. Having reached the “Dungeon of the Shore”, where you need to talk with the dwarf Gekh Coal. We will have two options: engage him in battle or avoid the battle in some way. We recommend that you try not to engage in combat, as you need to get to the lower level of the “Dilapidated Village” and control the boat. On the way, sailing on a boat, Dwarves will catch up with us, with whom it is also advisable not to engage in battle.
So, we had a series of dialogues with the dwarves and landed on the territory of the “Abandoned Shelter” in the “Grimforge Dungeon”. We are met by dwarf guards who slightly block the passage with their dialogues. In these dialogues, we need to find a solution that allows us not to engage in battle, we communicate safely and move on. We climb to the top and reach the dwarves with rote animals. First we talk with the dwarf “Stonecutter Keith”, and then with the animals. We persuade the animals to break the blocked passage, and then we fight with the dwarves.
Not far from the Adamantite Forge.
Having won the battle, you need to go towards the Adamantite Forge and disarm the traps. We go up the stairs, reach the first traps and neutralize them. There is a forged gate right through the traps, you can open it with your hand or the “Knock” spell. Inside there will be a chest with valuable items. After this, we return and go down the stairs, where there will be levers.
We move the bridges using levers.
From this point in time, you need to divide the group of characters, since someone will have to control the levers, while others will have to move through obstacles. Heroes without the ability to quickly move over distances are suitable for controlling levers. And for further passage you will have to jump and teleport, so it is advisable to send heroes with the ability to jump and teleport to explore the territory.
We send two heroes to the bridge, take the first “Form” with one hero on the lower bridge and continue moving along the bridge. It is important to lower a hero who can jump or teleport far to the lower bridge. We move the second hero to the other side, explore the area and continue moving to the right to the second levers. Near the levers there will be a skeleton, in the courtyard there is another “Scimitar Mold” for the forge.
Having reached all the heroes to the stop, you must first interact with the lever “right lever” in order to raise the second bridge to the character. Next, click on the “Left Lever” to send the bridge to the other side and lower the bridge using the “Right Lever”. We move the hero to the other side, jump from the bridge to the ground, where there will be a “Circle of Ancient Signs” teleport and another “Form for a mace” on the table. We don’t immediately go to the “Adamantite Forge” itself, which is located directly from the portal if you stand with your back to it. First, it is advisable to explore the area to find two more “Forms”, one is on the right and the other on the left, you will need to jump to it.
“Adamantine Forge”, the process of working with a forge.
The Adamantite Forge is located in the Abandoned Vault in Grimforge Dungeon. Having completed all the actions with the levers and collected all the necessary “Forms”, you can safely go to the forge itself. We go down to the Adamantite Forge, there will be a large round area with four round platforms on the sides, and in the center there is a mold press and an anvil. We recommend saving from this point in the passage so as not to lose the process.
Do not rush to start the battle process of the forge; you must first collect valuable resources, the special “Adamantite Ore”. Just before the forge site, there are small passages on both sides; first we recommend going to the right side to collect ore. The second “Adamantite Ore” is located on the left side of the entrance to the forge site. We recommend that you approach the most tenacious hero first, and keep the others a little further away, as an ambush will occur. If all the heroes are nearby, then most likely a defeat will occur and you will have to load. There will be only two pieces of “Adamantine Ore”.
How to use a forge or how to start an adamantite forge in baldur’s gate 3
Having collected all the items for the “Adamantite Forge”, these are molds and ore, you can go to the site. We need to jump to the Adamantite Forge site. After this, you can immediately begin installing all the parts. First, we install the desired “Mold” in the “Casting Chamber”, using the lever located nearby, raise the “Casting Chamber” and place the desired mold in it. Next, we put the “Ore” in the anvil.
After this, you need to place the heroes at key points. Important places are near the valve, near the lava drain and near the lever that lowers the anvil. It is advisable to place the other two heroes in different parts of the anvil platform. All heroes should be on the elevated platform and under no circumstances should they go down to the main part of the forge. If you need to move to another part of the forge, then you need to use “Jumping”.
So, when all the items are installed, namely the required “Form” and “Ore”, in their places, you can begin casting the “Adamanton Armor”. To do this, you first need to turn the valve, with one hero, lava should pour out of the pipe and fill the entire lower part of the platform. With another hero we work with the lever, which lowers the anvil, and the ore moves into the “Form” itself. After several pours of lava into the mold and several blows with an anvil, the lava should go away and you can pick up the finished item. We go down to the lower platform, approach the mold press, open it and pick up the finished item. This procedure can be performed only twice, since there are two pieces of “Adamanton Ore”.
Boss “Guardian of the Forge Grim”, how to defeat the defender of the forge in baldur’s gate 3
In the Adamantine Forge you will have to face one of the most powerful bosses, since he has protection against all types of damage and is practically invulnerable. In addition to all this, he has quite strong attacks that can kill the hero with 1 – 3 hits. There is a good supply of health from 250 to 450 health units, this range depends on the strength of the team. One of the most significant disadvantages is the low range of movement, the range is 12 meters. This allows Grim to reach half of the forge platform.
To defeat such a powerful boss, you need to know his secrets and select suitable heroes from the team. To begin with, we recommend starting with a team, placing the weakest ones next to the key points, the valve and the anvil lever. The other two heroes must have jumping and fast movement to jump over the lava and get away from the boss “Guardian of the Grim Forge”. It is advisable to make the first attack against the “Guardian of the Grim Forge” with the strongest hero, since the guard will go in his direction, and this hero must take the first damage.
Stages of the boss battle “Eternal Defender of the Forge Grim.”
The whole point of the battle with the boss “Eternal Defender of the Forge Grim” is to lure him under the anvil in the center. In this case, he takes 150 damage when the anvil falls on him. For these purposes, there must be two tenacious heroes with good armor and a good supply of health. Grim’s attack targets are important; he will only attack the last hero who made a damage attack on him. At the same time, all attacks against the boss “Guardian of the Forge Grim” must be carried out when he is in lava, in which case he becomes vulnerable.
First action.
We place one strong hero in the center of the anvil to perform the first attack and lure the boss into the anvil itself. After the first attack, boss Grim must reach part of the center of the anvil with at least his foot. After the first attack on the boss, the hero needs to jump to the outskirts of the platform, further from Grim. When Grim is in range of the anvil, you need to press the lever to attack Grim with the anvil and deal 150 damage.
Second action.
After the attack with the anvil, more enemies should appear, which it is advisable to deal with before Grim gets up. It is important not to interact with the hero near the valve; his role is to turn the valve and launch lava onto the platform. To fight new opponents, you can use another hero who pulls the lever.
Third act and subsequent ones.
When Grim gets up, you need to start acting with another strong hero standing on another part of the platform in order to lure him with attacks on Grim. We return to the “First Act” and lure the boss “Grim” to the anvil. We take the first strong hero, move it so that after the attack Grim goes straight to the anvil and attacks Grim. Grim approaches the anvil, the third hero pulls the lever, Grim receives another 150 units of damage. We carry out a similar procedure until Grim runs out of health points; the entire battle with the boss ends in victory.
Adamantite forge in baldur’s gate 3 items
In the process of exploring the Adamantine Forge, you can find a lot of interesting objects and things. But the most valuable are the “Grim Skull Helmet”, 2 pieces of “Adamantite Forge” and “Form”, from which very rare items can then be made. At the same time, you can produce only 2 items, weapons and armor. The following items can be obtained from the molds: Adamantite Longsword, Adamantite Mace, Adamantite Scimitar, Adamantite Shield, Adamantite Scale Armor, and Adamantite Plate Armor. Of the 6 adamantite items, you will only have to choose two.
We recommend choosing armor, “Adamantite Scale Armor” and “Adamantite Plate Armor”, since it will be difficult to find a replacement for such rarity. But there are a sufficient number of weapons in the game Baldur’s Gate 3. The only important point is which heroes are on the team. If there is a hero like “Barbarian” and “Warrior” with the race “Half Orc”, then “Adamantite Long Sword” will be a very good gift. Since it guarantees the infliction of “Critical Damage”, the “Half-Orc” race makes “Critical Damage” in the 3rd size, and the “Barbarian” itself is capable of producing high damage in melee.
