Need help entering the Raven Cave in The Forge? After reaching the game's third main world, Frostspire Expanse, you'll notice there's a locked door right behind the locale's main forge. Once unlocked, this door will lead you to a new cave that's filled with some of the most durable rocks and toughest enemies currently in the Roblox RPG. But its foreboding avian guardian won't let you enter without helping him knock a few chores off his to-do list.
This watchful protector is the Raven, and his questline is the key to unlocking the Raven Cave in The Forge and plundering the goodies inside. You definitely should too, with the cave containing Red Crystals, which you can mine to earn powerful endgame Ores. So, if you need a little help satisfying this morbid gatekeeper, here's how to unlock the Raven Cave in The Forge.
In this guide:
- Where to find the Raven
- How to complete the first Raven quest
- How to complete the second Raven quest
- Unlocking the Raven Cave
Where to find the Raven
Your first objective is to simply find the Raven. You'll need to be at least level 70 to be able to reach his icy home in the Frostspire Expanse. Once you're at the right level, open your teleporter, travel to Frostspire Expanse, and then head towards the area's starting mine, Spider Cave. While following the path to the cave, you'll see a section of the trail fork off to the right, leading to a campsite. Follow this fork in the path and you'll find the Raven standing on a log.
Speak to him, and he'll give you a quest. Don't worry. This isn't gonna be a repeat of the Goblin King quest, where we completed endless strings of fetch quests and emptied our wallet to earn the key to the Goblin Cave. The Raven's demands are far more reasonable, take much less time and don't require you to spend a single cent.
How to complete the first Raven quest
The Raven's first request requires completing three separate objectives:
- Kill five Crystal Spiders.
- Mine ten Icy Pebbles.
- Bring the Raven one Aetherit Ore.
You'll be able to accomplish all three of these goals in the Spider Cave. Make your way over to the mine and head inside to reach the cavern's Frozen Webs area, which contains an abundance of Icy Pebbles to mine. As you smash through ten of these rocks, you'll probably automatically find some Aetherit Ore, which you can hold onto to give to the Raven. If you don't, just keep mining Icy Pebbles, and you'll eventually get one to spawn.
That's two objectives down already. This area also contains several Crystal Spiders that constantly respawn and lurk around the caverns. Find some, carve them up, and, once five are slain, you’ll knock off the third and final objective.
With that done, head back to the Raven and give him the Aetherit you found to complete the first stage of the quest. The Raven will then tell you that you can only proceed if the island allows it. Although this suggests we'll have to do something to continue running errands for our morbid feathery friend, it turns out the island thinks we're super chill, because we can go straight to the Raven's new hangout spot and continue the quest.
How to complete the second Raven quest
Once your first quest is complete, head towards the forge in the town in the centre of Frostspire Expanse. When you're facing the forge, take a right and circle around its perimeter. As you make your way around the forge, you’ll spot a path leading between two rocks and towards a locked door directly ahead.
To the left of the locked door is the Raven. Speak to him, and he'll deal out three more objectives. Most of these are tougher versions of his first batch of chores:
- Kill ten Diamond Spiders.
- Kill a Prismarine Spider.
- Bring the Raven 1 Snowite.
These objectives will be a little trickier than the last three, and require you to go up against a tough boss enemy named the Prismarine Spider. To find this colossal creepy crawly, you'll need to head into the Spider Caves and look for the small icy chamber all the way at the end of the cavern. When you enter, you'll see a giant spider patrolling the centre of the chamber. This is the Prismarine Spider, and she packs a punch.
Have a go at the battle to see if you've already got enough power in the tank to put her down, but if you don't, spend some time grinding in the Spider Cave. If you buy an Aqujade pickaxe, or any other picks capable of smashing Icy Boulders, you can free a bunch of useful Ores, like Velchire and Iceite, which you can use to make a powerful weapon and tough armour. You should go ahead and grab some damage potions from the Frostspire store too. Downing these will beef up your damage output.
When you're ready, return to the chamber and fight the Prismarine Spider. She's tough, but a good way to get the edge is positioning your character behind or underneath her, dealing damage while dodging her ranged spitting attack.
When she's dead, spend some time farming ten Diamond Spiders. They’re found exclusively in the Frozen Nest area. When you’ve headhunted ten of them, all we'll have to worry about is finding Snowite Ore. It's rare, with a one in 4,325 chance of spawning, but luckily, it can be mined from every rock type you'll find in the Spider Cave. Chug some luck potions, then get to mining all the icy stone you can find. Eventually, some Snowite should spawn.
Take the Snowite back to the Raven at the locked door and turn it in to complete the quest. With that, the Raven will deem us worthy, allowing us access to the Raven Cave.
Unlocking the Raven Cave
Now that we've completed the second Raven quest, all we need to do is unlock the Raven Cave. You'll automatically be given the Red Cave Key when the quest finishes, which you can take to the locked door to the right of the Raven and use to unlock the big padlock keeping it shut. The entrance will then open, allowing you inside.
The Raven Cave is the game’s current endgame area, so if you completed the quest early on, there's not gonna be much for you to do here just yet. The Demonic Spiders inside will do a number on you if you don't have beefy armour, and you won't be able to mine any of the Red Crystals inside if you don't have a pickaxe capable of doing at least 420 mining damage.
If you can endure the demonic creepy crawlies and have a pick capable of breaking apart its crystallised stone though, there are some useful things to find in here, including the incredibly rare and exceptionally powerful Heart Of The Island and Stolen Heart Ores.
Either way, with the Raven satiated, you're free to explore the Raven Cave to your heart's content. If you want to take part in any dungeon raids, there's sure to be some Ores in here that could make you the MVP of the team, so it's well worth chugging some Luck Potions and making a few expeditions into its depths. If you need any extra help digging through The Forge's various quests and systems, why not take a look at our other guides? We've covered several of the RPG's trickiest missions, including finding Tomo's missing cat, locating Bard's missing guitar, and unlocking the Goblin Cave. If you're already up to date on quests though, we've also put together a guide for finding every Ore, a full list of all The Forge’s codes, and tips on farming Miner Shards.
