Key locations in the maze
You start by jumping down a large hole on Iceberg Island into the maze entrance, where paths branch into T-junctions and crossroads filled with roaming Skeleton Pirates and Chuthlu.
Deeper in, discover Fungi’s Shop at a crossroads for potions and blueprints, then push toward the Angel Room guarded by Zarall and Zachariel—enemies respawn throughout, so circle back as needed during quests.
How to reach the maze
Reach Frostspire Expanse (Island 3) at level 70 with the Portal Tool, then mine Coinite from Raven Caves' Medium/Large Red Crystals or Heart of the Island Stone. Head to the pier, talk to the Ferry Captain, select “I want to cross to the other side,” pay 1 Coinite, and ride without jumping or swimming.
On Iceberg Island, jump into the hole to enter—stock extra Coinite for returns.
How to navigate the maze
The layout resets daily, but follow this standard path from recent guides to hit Fungi Shop and Angels reliably—you'll encounter enemies along the way.

At the second T-junction, turn left again.
Step 3
Turn left at the third T-junction.
Step 4
Turn right at the fourth T-junction.
Step 5
Turn right at the fifth T-junction.

Step 10
Take left at the final T-junction and go straight to the Angel Room.
How to complete all maze quests
Interact with either Angel after arriving to start quests—progress by hunting respawning enemies in the maze, revisiting Angels each time for updates. Early ones are solo-friendly with 100+ damage weapons; later stages demand parties, upgrades, or Fungi's Potion (20% faster mining, 50% damage/luck boosts).
Total: 75 Skeleton Pirates, 17 Chuthlu across three quests.
| Quest | Objectives | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Maze Quest 1 | Kill 10 Skeleton Pirates, 2 Chuthlu | 1× Luck Totem I |
| Maze Quest 2 | Kill 25 Skeleton Pirates, 7 Chuthlu | 1× Miner Totem I |
| Maze Quest 3 | Kill 50 Skeleton Pirates, 15 Chuthlu | Heavenly Pickaxe access |
Unlocking your Heavenly Pickaxe
Finish Maze Quest 3 to lower the wall; buy the pickaxe for 2.4M gold (2.112M with Goblin race). It boasts 725 mining power, ~85% luck, and 4 rune slots—ideal for late-game farming. Team up for efficiency, as Chuthlu packs 13k HP.
Master the maze grind
Boost success by buying from Fungi, partying for quests, and farming Coinite efficiently—watch for update patches on bugs like NPC respawns. The maze adds 16+ new weapon/armor recipes too.
Wrap up the maze quests to snag totems and the Heavenly Pickaxe, supercharging your mining in The Forge's endgame. Prioritize this before the time-limited event potentially ends, and revisit daily for resets.
