Spell Path [short]

In order to successfully follow the path discussed below, you need a character "Broken Sanctuary").

From the Underdark - Grimforge rune circle, go to the Abandoned Vault using the stairs and exit to lined wooden boards (X: -620, Y: 313), uniting the area where the excavations are taking place, and a ledge with a high stone structure.

Separate a hero from the group who can use the Mist Step. Then, use the spell and teleport to the ledge on the opposite side.

Go to the Underdark - Ancient Forge rune circle to activate a fast teleport to the location: now each squad member can teleport to the "blocked" zone and use part of its capabilities.

Way across the main bridge [long]

While exploring Grimforge, look for Scarjall (X: -661, Y: 442): a man has problems with deep rote - cattle resists doing work, which annoys the driver.

Direct attempts to find out from the NPC what is hidden behind the blockage end in failure. The dwarf does not plan to share information with a stranger, but it can be obtained in other ways:

1. Check for charisma15 SC): “If you want me to help you, tell me what is there”, - in case of failure, the rider will continue to be silent.
2. Double check for intelligence (both in the first and in the second case - 5 SC): "Inspect the rubble for anything out of the ordinary", - in case of failure, the protagonist will not be able to see anything significant among the heaps of ordinary stones and minerals.
3. Using Mind Flayer Abilities: “Read the mind of the driver with the help of a parasite. What is he looking for here? - the skill will not have a serious impact on Scarjall, his mind is "closed" from third-party interference.

On successful checks karmic cubes the protagonist learns that the Adamantine Forge is hiding behind the rubble. It remains only to clear the way to it, "persuading" the deep rote to budge and get to work.

 

There are several options to choose from:

1. "Hit the Rote", - will provoke a battle with animals.
2. Wisdom test (15 SC): “Show rote open palms and try to calm the animal by speaking in a soft, soothing voice”, - in case of failure, a fight will be provoked with deep rote.
3. Wisdom test (15 SC): “Look the buffalo straight in the eyes. Show that you are not afraid and everything is in order., - in case of failure, a fight will be provoked with deep rote. If successful, select: “To persuade the rote to breathe, calm down and get down to business, not paying attention to anything”, - the buffalo humbly bows its head in front of the protagonist and clears the age.

Once the brute clears a path, Scarjall will thank the strangers and raise his weapon to attack.

The buffalo and her herd will come to the aid of the protagonist, acting as allied .

After defeating the opponents, access will open to a long stone bridge leading to the bins of the Adamantine Forge.

However, the situation may turn out to be such that the deep rote will die, which is why the blockage will remain untouched. In this case, use dwarves), spells with damage higher than 22 units (for example, “Thunder Wave” or “Smashing Sound”).

Approaching the bridge, you will see three types of traps:

• gargoyle statue (at the beginning and end of the bridge);
• marble slabs (along the way);

• stuck beacons (at the edges).

Follow the paved path until you reach a locked wrought iron gate (X: -650, Y: 373).

In order to unlock them, use the spell "Magic Hand" and summon a ghostly limb to the other side of the balcony.

Return to the beginning of the bridge and, using the iron stairs, go down.

Use Jump to get to long sword shapes (X: -634, Y: 401).

 

Shield shape

Before you start looking for a shape for a shield, it is recommended split the team into two groups. It is important that the lead team consists of a strong DPS character (like Laezel) and Astarion. While the first detachment will be looking for blanks for casting equipment, the responsibility of the second will be the interaction with the levers.

Once you have formed the teams, follow a series of steps:

1. Detachment No. 1 "Jump" place on a movable structure. As a free unit hero #2, activate right leverto move the forward, closer to the gate. Climb off the iron plate and unlock the age using the thieves' tools (12 SC).

As a reward for victory, you will receive an unusual “Merregon Halberd”, "Mask of Hell Metal", and from a luxurious chest located nearby, you can pick up an unusual crossbow “Fireshot” and some gold (×131).

4. Leave the room and go up to the very top of the location. Interact with the skeleton to get shield shape (X: -697, Y: 410).

Scimitar Form

1. Switch to squad #2. Pull for right leverto return the plate to its original place, and by activating "Jump", climb onto it. Then, get over to the central bridge.

2. Following the straight road, run to the end of the bridge.

3. Switch to squad #1. Interact with right leverto raise the movable platform up. Then, switch back to Squad #2, and use Jump to land on a rusty iron structure.

4. Returning to squad #1, use left leverto move the plate in the opposite direction. When the platform stops, lower it with right lever.
5. Return to squad #2. Jump over to the ledge located just above the platform. Going down, activate the "Jump" again and, finally, get to the forge.

6. After activating the Circle of Ancient Signs, move squad #1 to the Underdark - Ancient Forge and unite the team.

Mace shape (X: -610, Y: 282), in turn, will be found on the worktable located opposite the waygate.

Plate armor form

Plate armor form (X: -596, Y: 297) - heavy armor is located on a ledge, from the second tier of the forge. For reference, you can take a giant mechanism lying nearby (somewhat reminiscent of a gear).

Scale armor form

Scale armor form (X: -615, Y: 268) - medium armor, in turn, will be found in the eastern part of the forge.

When approaching the workpiece, the protagonist and his group will be attacked animated armor in the amount of 4 pieces, of which two specialize in dealing damage in close combat, and the rest - in attacks from afar.

How to start a forge in Baldur's Gate 3

Once all the forms have been found, you can start activating the Adamantine Forge. However, before that you have to find mithril ore in Grimfordge.

Where to find mithril ore

In the location "Underdark - ancient forge" you can find several natural deposits of the desired ore.

1 source of mithril ore

From the point where the shape of the scaly armor was chosen, go down to the left. On the opposite side, notice a mithril vein - for a convenient approach, you can ungroup the squad, and only with the help of one character start mining.

The source of the ore is vulnerable to force and crushing damage: to effectively break the vein, you can use the pinpoint strikes of the staff or the Magic Missile spell.

2 source of mithril ore

Return to the rune circle "Underground - ancient forge" and, turning your back on it, go towards the main blacksmith mechanism. Go down the stairs until you come across a cliff. "Jump" get to the opposite side.

Turn left: You will immediately see another source of mithril ore. From the table located nearby, you can additionally pick up the Sharite List book, and interacting with the bookshelves will lead to filling the Inventory with various magical scrolls.

On the approach, be careful, the lava zone spawns magmatic mephits in the amount of 5-9 pieces: if you want to calmly collect ore, you will have to fight with the creatures of magma. On the plus side, you can later pick up from the corpse of each killed monster precious stone (agate, malachite, onyx, etc.).

 

How to activate the forge

Finally, you can start the Adamantine Forge. For this:

1. Insert mithril ore into crucible.
2. Place one of the found forms in casting chamber.
3. Click on forge lever.

If done correctly, the main chamber of the forge will drop down to the level below, to the lava valve.

Interacting with him will result in the appearance of the main boss of the Adamantine Forge - Eternal Protector of the Forge, Grim.

How to defeat Forge Eternal Defender Grim

Grim, the Eternal Defender of the Forge, is a formidable opponent with a high amount of health and resistance to most types of damage. You can break through a huge car only in one case - when the "Hot".

Deployment of the squad before the battle

The battle with the eternal defender can cause a lot of problems, so before interacting with the valve, we recommend arrange team correctly on the future battlefield:

• put a character on the crucible who knows how to use the Misty Step spell;
• a hero capable of attacking several targets at once, place on a circular disk located next to the casting chamber and the mold extraction lever (preferably a melee unit);
• leave one character at the forge lever (preferably a mage), the other at the lava valve.

The general arrangement should look like this:

Forge Defender Kill Tactics

In order to defeat Grim, follow these guidelines:

1. Every time the boss takes damage, he focuses his attention on the character who last attacked him. At the time of the first battle cycle, the hero placed on the crucible must be the last to attack the boss in order to take over the state "The main objective" to myself.
2. As soon as the defender approaches the crucible, use the spell on the character standing on it "Foggy Step" and move it to the lower platform. In turn, the hero, located on the platform with lever, should activate this same lever.

3. The damage caused by releasing the forge lever is the foundation to rely on during combat.
4. The main character, initially located on the lower platform, should be focused on killing magmatic mephits. Attacks against the boss are not his responsibility.
5. Condition "Hot" in a negative way affects the frame of Grim's body and thus allows the protagonist and companions to pierce the enemy. Do not forget every 2 turns update the status by interacting with the lava valve, otherwise even pulling the lever will do zero damage.

By sticking to the above main points, you will be able to get closer to defeating the Eternal Protector of the Forge, Grim, in the shortest cycles.

As a reward, receive a heavy Grim Skull Helmet a very rare quality that protects the owner from critical hits, grants resistance to fire damage, and also allows the use of the Hunter's Mark spell.

Finally, it will be possible to pick up previously made equipment from the casting chamber.
