What to know
- This method lets you cross water without paying the ferry coin
- It relies heavily on speed stacking and dash timing
- Demon race is strongly recommended for consistency
- A portal is required to survive mid-crossing
If you’re playing The Forge on Roblox and tired of paying the ferry fee every time you need to cross water, there’s a reliable workaround. With enough movement speed, the right race, and careful execution, you can dash-jump your way across water entirely for free.
Requirements before attempting the skip
To make this method work consistently, you need to stack movement speed as high as possible and use abilities correctly.
Race requirement
The Demon race is essential because its dash works horizontally. Archangel may look similar, but its jump-based movement is far less reliable over water.
Armor and movement speed
Equip armor that gives at least 90% total movement speed. If you don’t have high-end gear, Velky-only armor is a solid alternative.
Enhance your armor by:
- Enchanting pieces to unlock extra rune slots
- Applying Swiftness runes (around +20% total speed with two runes)
Potions and skills
- Speed Potion I (15% movement speed)
- Health Potion II
- Any skill that grants a temporary movement speed buff
Portal
A portal is mandatory. You’ll use it mid-water to recover health and finish the crossing.
How to skip the ferry and cross water for free
Step 1: Prepare before entering the water
Drink your speed potion, activate any movement speed skills, and ensure sprint is toggled on.
Step 2: Aim for the small island first
Your first objective is not the far shore. Dash-jump toward the small island closer to the hidden maze, which shortens the hardest stretch.
Step 3: Jump and dash correctly
Hold sprint + jump, and spam the Demon dash only when your character pops out of the water.
Do not dash while swimming—this wastes momentum and health.
Step 4: Maintain momentum over water
Keep jumping continuously. Every jump briefly lifts you above water damage, buying time for the next dash.
Step 5: Place your portal mid-crossing
Once you’re roughly halfway across the last parth and your health drops low, place your portal directly on the water.
Step 6: Recover health on the portal
Stand on the portal to regenerate most of your HP.
Use health potions to speed this up, but don’t wait for full health—the portal despawns after about 30 seconds.
Step 7: Make the final push
Once your health is mostly restored, resume jump-dashing immediately and push to the far shore before the portal disappears.
If you have the Berserker ability, its low-health speed boost can help close the final gap.
Returning without paying the ferry
Once you’ve crossed full path to the Iceberg Island and want to return simply reset your character! This avoids paying the ferry coin entirely.
Final notes on the free ferry skip
This method works because it exploits movement mechanics and damage timing rather than glitches. While it’s clearly a loophole, it’s currently consistent if executed properly. If you farm areas across water often, mastering this trick can save you time and currency.
