The Forge Island 3 Update Guide: Secret Pickaxes, Best Races & The Peak

The Island 3 (Frostspire Expanse) update in The Forge is officially here, and it is a massive reality check for players who are used to easy grinding. This update demands higher levels, better base damage, and a completely optimized progression route if you want to reach The Peak.

Whether you are looking for the secret Prismatic Pickaxe location, trying to roll the elusive 0.1% Archangel race, or wondering how to unlock the Ice Golem boss, this guide breaks down exactly what you need to do the second you step through the portal.

1. The Entrance Requirements & Early Freebies

First things first: You must be Level 70 to enter Island 3. If you aren’t there yet, stay on Island 2 and grind. Once you finally arrive, do not immediately run into the wild.

The Santa NPC (Time-Sensitive) Directly behind the Island 3 spawn, you will find Santa. He offers three quests that reward Christmas Tickets. This event shop is only active for about 14 days post-update, so prioritizing this is crucial for free-to-play players. You can exchange these tickets for:

• XP and Luck Totems
• Limited Armor Blueprints
• The Candy Cane and Christmas Pickaxes
• Free Race Rerolls (The most valuable item in the shop)

Active Update Codes Before doing anything else, open your menu and redeem these two codes for an immediate 10 free race rerolls:

• Xmas! (Rewards 5 Race Rerolls)
• sorryfordelay (Rewards 5 Race Rerolls)

2. The 3 New Races (Stats & Probabilities)

With your new rerolls, you’ll want to aim for one of the three brand-new races added in this update.

• Vampire (4% Roll Chance): Perfect for Straight Sword mains. It grants a flat 15% life steal and a 10% damage boost when using a straight sword.
• Fling: A highly aggressive, close-quarters race. It offers massive mobility (20% movement speed, +20% dash distance, -20% dash cooldown) alongside a 20% stamina boost. If you use Gauntlets, you get +20% attack speed and damage, plus a massive 20% chance to automatically parry the next attack.
• Archangel (0.1% Roll Chance): The new undisputed best race in the game. It combines extreme mobility with raw combat power.
  • Demonic Powers: +20% physical damage, +20% attack speed, and a larger character model (+30% height, +10% width).
  • Wings: Extreme dash buffs, jump speed, and +25% overall movement speed.
  • Mighty Clover: A permanent 30% luck boost.
  • Hellfire Dash: Dashing gives a 50% chance to spawn an AoE hellfire circle that deals 45% of your weapon’s damage per second for 3 seconds.

3. The Quest & Pickaxe Progression Meta

Early Island 3 is a scramble. Your absolute #1 priority should be Pickaxe Progression. Do not get distracted trying to forge the new Wolf Armor or the Colossal Sword until your mining tools are sorted.

The Sensei Morrow Questline Speak to Sensei Morrow immediately. His quests require you to mine a massive amount of Pebbles. While boring, this questline is mandatory because it gates your access to the shop’s pickaxe upgrades.

• Early Tools: If you brought the Demonic or Arcane pickaxe from Island 2, use them. If your tools are too weak, buy the Tungsten Pickaxe ($200k) as a temporary catch-up tool.

Unlocking the Snow Pickaxe Push Sensei Morrow’s quests to Level 6. This unlocks the Snow Pickaxe. Buy it immediately. The Snow Pickaxe has 320 Mine Power, which is the exact passcode needed to access the secret endgame tool.

(Note: You will see the Void Pickaxe in the shop with 550 Mine Power. Skip it. It is a trap that wastes your money before the true endgame tool).

4. How to Find the Secret Prismatic Pickaxe

The best obtainable tool in the Island 3 update is hidden in a secret room, and you need that 320 Mine Power from the Snow Pickaxe to break the ice block blocking the entrance.

The Secret Location:

1. Walk past the NPC named Borne.
2. Take the left path and follow the valley.
3. Keep running until you reach a pond/lake area.
4. Jump into the massive hole near the water.
5. Break the ice block (requires 320 base damage) to enter the secret room.

The Prismatic Pickaxe costs $2,000,000 but boasts 650 Damage, a 20% Mine Boost, a massive 72% Luck Boost, and 4 Rune Slots. (Warning: The 888-damage Angelic Pickaxe is currently unobtainable without hacking. Do not waste time searching for it).

5. Reaching The Peak & The Ice Golem Boss

Once your mining is sorted, you can focus on combat. Speak to the Iceman NPC. By bringing him Magmite and Demonite, he will unlock a teleportation cannon that shoots you directly to the top of The Peak, saving you from running up the mountain manually.

The Peak features:

New Crystals: Requires a massive 420 base damage to mine.

The Ice Golem Boss: Accessible via a massive portal at the top of the mountain. Warning: This boss hits incredibly hard, can only be fought once per hour (hourly cooldown), and currently drops very underwhelming loot (around 10k coins and basic materials). Fight it for the experience, but don’t rely on it for early money farming.
