When you venture deeper into Grymforge, you will eventually come across the Adamantine Forge, which is known for its ability to craft Adamantine Equipment.
Getting to the Adamantine Forge is one thing, activating it and crafting the certain items you want can be a bit tricky with a challenge too for your first time.
By following the correct steps and having all the necessary materials, you can create powerful items crafted from Adamantine.
Materials Needed to Craft Adamantine Equipment
Before you can craft Adamantine Equipment, you will first need to obtain specific items that will be used in the process.
1) Mithral Ore
Special ore is only found in Grymforge as it is a scarce resource that needs to be mined in the area but only two can be found in the game.
There are two pieces of Mithral Ore that you can obtain in a single playthrough, which can be found in the Abandoned Refuge and Adamantine Forge areas.
2) Equipment Mould
6 different equipment Moulds can be found in Grymforge, which allows you to choose what Adamantine Equipment will be crafted.
Mithral Ore is placed into the Crucible, while a Mould is to be placed in the Mould Chamber before the crafting process begins.
How To Use The Adamantine Forge?
If you complete the quest in the Underdark from Sovereign Spaw called Defeat the Duergar Intruders, you will have been granted access to the Guardian Gate.
Within the Guardian Gate, there is a Drow (Xargrim) corpse that has a book that you may read to reveal the instructions on how to use the forge.
The following are the steps to craft Adamantine Equipment in the Adamantine Forge:
- Place Mithral Ore in Crucible
- Insert Mould in Mould Chamber
- Rotate the valve to release lava
- Use the lever to release the hammer
- Collect Adamantine Equipment
First Time Using Adamantine Forge
The Adamantine Forge platform will need to be brought to the lower level as this is where the valve that controls the lava becomes accessible.
You can force the platform to descend by interacting with the lever and just as you open the valve to release the lava, a cutscene will begin.
This causes Grym, the guardian of the Adamantine Forge to appear, who you must defeat to freely use the forge without getting slaughtered.
Verdict
The Adamantine Forge has a simple process when it comes to crafting Adamantine Equipment and it is only the obtaining of the materials that requires you to explore Grymforge.
Aside from having to collect all the necessary materials used to craft at the forge, the only other nuisance is Grym but there are different ways to defeat this boss.
The only downside of the Adamantine Forge is that you will only be able to craft 2 items since there are limited Mithral Ore that can be found.
