As we all know, Roblox is home to millions of UGCs that let players experience a variety of games, ranging from casual simulators to deep, progression-heavy RPGs. One of these Roblox games that is making a hype in recent times is “The Forge”. The Forge is a progression-based RPG and simulation game whose whole mechanics revolve around Mining, Forging, and Fighting.
As the name suggests, it literally involves a forge where each ore combination has a unique design and distinct traits. In short, the game takes you on a journey that feels more like a race to mine the highest rarity ore one can and using it to forge powerful weapons and armors. The reason for the recent hype is the new Red Cave update on January 3, 2026 where players have a chance to find several new yet valuable ore. In this guide, we will walk you through every detail regarding the Red Cave including how to unlock it, how to prepare yourself and what it contains.
What is the Red Cave
Red Cave is the brand-new cave addition in the game – “The Forge” that came on January 3, 2026 with the New Cave update. The Cave requires players to complete certain quests and meet the criteria to be explored.
How to Unlock
To unlock the new Red Cave, players must reach level 70 or above and get to Island 3 in the game. Now, you need to locate the Raven who sits near the Excalibur camp which is at the edge of the island in the Forge Frostspire Expanse. Interact with him to receive the quests.
Quests
As mentioned before, there will be two quests to be completed before you could unlock the Red Cave, which are as follows:
Raven Quest I
- Kill 5x Crystal Spider
- Mine 10x Ice Pebble
- Bring 1x Aetherit to the Raven
Complete the first quests and bring the Aetherit to the Raven after which the Raven will change its initial location and move to the front of the locked cave door.
Raven Quest II
Once you interact with the Raven for the second time which is in front of the Red Cave door, it will assign you a set of new tasks which includes:
- Killing 10x Diamond Spider
- Killing 1x Prismarine Spider
- Bring back 1x Snowite to the Raven
Inside the Cave
Once you complete all the quests, you will get the key to unlock the red cave. Enter it and you will find an NPC named Aida in front. She will give you a secret that says “There is a secret path behind the bushes”. The message asks you to go through the bushes you find inside the cave to enter a new room. Inside the secret room, you will find a locked up pickaxe, a bunch of new quests and another raven. Interact with the raven and it will grant you another quest to complete which are:
Raven Quest III
- Kill 25x Mini Demonic Spider
- Kill 10x Demonic Spider
- Kill 1x Demonic Queen Spider
- Bring 1x Stolen Heart to the Raven
Rewards
For completing all the Raven quests, players will receive Raven Helmet recipe, Raven Chestplate recipe, and Berserker Armor recipe along with the Red Cave key.
Stolen Heart
- Rarity: Divine
- Multiplier: 15.4x
- Price: 288.75$
- Trait: Empty
- Description: “This name reminds you of someone..”
- Rocks: Heart of the Island
- Trait: Heal 7% of physical damage dealt on-hit. Maximum healing limits at 5% of user health.
Getting your hands on this brand-new ore is quite hard with the extremely low drop rate that says 1 in 54,321 from a Heart of the Island rock. It being so rare also improves its value and makes it an extremely needed ore for your late game enhancements. To improve your chances of getting the Stolen heart, follow these instructions:
- Inside the Red cave, look for the large crystal rock formations called Heart of the Island rocks that have a heart-shaped orb inside it.
- For mining, use a strong pickaxe like Dragon Heard pickaxe, Prismatic pickaxe or any Arcane and above tier pickaxe. Why? Because the rocks are very tough to break because of the extremely high 32,500 HP.
- The third thing you need to do is work smarter, not harder. As each of these Heart of the Island rocks have a 32k HP, it will take you a lifetime to mine a total of 54k rocks. Instead, break them just enough to get a look at the ore inside. If you find the one you are looking for – Congrats, if not then just move on to the next rock.
Why is the Stolen Heart so Important
The Stolen Heart is a Divine tier ore that was newly introduced in the Part II update for the Frostspire. The primary purpose of the ore is to complete the Raven III quest and collect the Berserker Armor Recipe. Another reason to obtain the Stolen Heart is the massive price you can sell it for and the 15.4x multiplier. You can use the money to buy the Forge items for sale.
Evil Eye
- Rarity: Mythical
- Multiplier: 13.3x
- Price: 249.28$
Another ore that was released in the New Cave update and could be found in the Red cave is the Evil Eye. The Evil eye can be obtained in the same way as the Stolen Heart that is through mining the Large Red Crystals and Heart of the Island Crystal. The Evil Eye has a drop rate of 1 out of 33333 Heart of the Island and Large Red Crystals.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the new cave update is a significant update that dropped some newly introduced ores with extremely high value. Follow the guide to mine them and complete the quests to get those priceless blueprints.
