The Forge Island 3 Update Full Guide

The Island 3 update is finally live in Roblox The Forge, and it’s easily one of the biggest expansions the game has seen so far. New quests, dangerous NPCs, powerful pickaxes, hidden zones, and time-gated bosses all make this update overwhelming if you jump in unprepared.

If you’re short on time and want to progress efficiently, many players choose to top up Robux or grab The Forge items from trusted marketplaces like SSEGold to skip early bottlenecks and get straight into Island 3 content faster—especially with how expensive late-game pickaxes are becoming.

How to Access Island 3 (Level Requirement & Portal)

To enter Island 3, you’ll need:

• Level 70

• Access to the Frostfire Expanse portal

Even if you haven’t hit level 70 yet, learning Island 3’s layout and progression path early gives you a huge advantage once you arrive.

Upon entering, you’ll be guided by a spirit NPC toward Bjorn, the main quest giver. Following his questline is mandatory—it unlocks bosses, mining zones, and future progression paths.

Santa NPC Quests (Don’t Skip These)

Right near the starting area, you’ll find the Santa NPC, and this is one of the most important additions in the Island 3 update.

Santa quests offer:

• Limited-time Christmas items

• XP Totems (without spending money)

• Rare blueprints

• Candy Cane weapons and pickaxes

• Race rerolls

• A Christmas Pickaxe with 72% luck boost

These quests refresh and can be multitasked alongside Bjorn’s progression quests, making them extremely efficient.

Early Quest Progression & Spider Cave Farming

Your first major combat task sends you toward the Spider Cave—not the peak.

What to Do:

• Kill 5 smaller crystal NPCs

• Avoid deeper areas early (Diamond NPCs reach 1,000 HP+)

• Watch out for elite enemies with 7,000 HP that can one-shot you

This cave is also your starter mining zone, containing:

• Ice Pebbles

• Sulfur

• Tungsten

Stick to shallow areas until your damage improves.

Sensei Morrow & Mining Requirements

After progressing, you’ll meet Sensei Morrow, who introduces advanced mining objectives:

• Tungsten

• Sulfur

• Icy Pebbles

Nearby, you’ll see multiple new pickaxes, including:

• Tungsten Pickaxe

• Aqua Pickaxe

• Mist Pickaxe

• Snow Pickaxe

• Frost Pickaxe

• Void Pickaxe

Important Stat:

To mine everything currently available on Island 3, you need 320 base mining damage.

Best Pickaxe Progression Path (Island 3)

You don’t need every pickaxe—smart upgrades save millions.

Recommended Path:

• Skip early upgrades

• Go straight to Snow Pickaxe (320 damage)

• Then either:

  • Snow → Prismatic Pickaxe, or

  • Snow → Void → Prismatic

The Prismatic Pickaxe costs 2 million cash and is currently the best pickaxe in the game.

How to Get the Prismatic Pickaxe

To find it:

1. Return to Bjorn

2. Take the left path

3. Drop into the hidden icy pool

4. Mine the ice barrier (,500,000 HP, requires 320 damage)
   

Once unlocked, the Prismatic Pickaxe allows future-proof farming for upcoming updates.

Boss Area & Peak Enemies

Returning to Bjorn and heading upward unlocks the peak area, where you’ll encounter:

• Orcs

• Yetis (10,000 HP)

• Crystal Golems (15,000 HP bosses)

Boss fights are time-gated, meaning you can only enter during certain windows. Grouping is recommended unless you’re heavily geared.

New Races & Archangel Roll

The update introduces 3 new races especially:

• Archangel (0.1% chance)

This can be rolled from the shop and is currently one of the rarest additions in The Forge.

Secret Areas & Part 2 Content Teasers

Island 3 hides several locked or glitched areas, clearly intended for Part 2 of the update, including:

• Red crystal zones

• Diamond pickaxe altar

• Mysterious NPC gatherings

• “Point of No Return” area (currently inaccessible)

Most of these areas will likely unlock through:

• Quest progression

• High-tier mining

• Future bosses

New Forging Recipes & Ultra-Rare Weapons

The forging station now includes:

• Angelic Spears

• Demonic Spears

• Tridents

• New Great Axes

• New Straight Swords (blueprint-based)

• Colossal Sword category with 1 in 1,000 Excalibur

Many blueprints appear to drop from bosses or Santa quests.

Final Tips for Island 3 Progression

• Focus quests first, not exploration

• Snow Pickaxe (320 damage) is enough for now

• Save cash for the Prismatic Pickaxe

• Santa quests are insanely valuable

• Expect major content in Part 2

If you want to progress faster without endless grinding, many players rely on SSEGold for Robux and The Forge items, making it easier to afford high-tier pickaxes and prepare for upcoming Island 3 expansions.

Island 3 is only the beginning—farm smart now, and you’ll be ready when the next update drops.
