The Abandoned Refuge (also known as the Ancient Forge) is a Location within the Underdark in Act One of Baldur's Gate 3. It is south of and adjacent to Grymforge, and home to the Adamantine Forge and serves as a connecting landmass between the former and the latter, and overlooks Ancient Temple.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Looking East, towards a Mithral vein, near The Adamantine Forge

The terrain of the Abandoned Refuge consists of crumbling architecture interspersed with caverns and lava flows, which frequently require jumping, or similar measures, to navigate. In this area, the player may discover two Mithral veins, from which they can extract Mithral Ore. This can be used in the adjoining Adamantine Forge location.

The Adamantine Forge[edit | edit source]

Main article: Adamantine Forge

South-east of the Ancient Forge waypoint and down a set of broken stairs is the Adamantine Forge. The forge can be used to create armour or a weapon by loading it with a piece of Mithral Ore and a mould. There are only two pieces of ore available, so only two items total can be crafted.
