The Red Cave in The Forge Roblox is part of the Frostspite Expanse island update. It is considered late-game content so you need to unlock it by progressing your level and clearing the Raven questline. Here's how to do so.
How to reach Frostpire Expanse and find the Raven
To even start on the Red Cave, you need to be on Island 3 and know where the Raven is waiting.
Level up and unlock Island 3
You will first need to hit late‑game progression before you can touch the Red Cave door. Here's how:
- Reach EXP Level 70 by clearing main quests, repeating side quests, and filling out your index on earlier islands.
- Finish the core questline on Island 2 (including Sensei Moro’s quests) so that the wizard portal quest is complete.
- Use the portal item given by the Wizard NPC to travel to Island 3, Frostpire Expanse, once it’s unlocked in your progression.
Where to find the Raven NPC
Once you arrive at Island 3, you must locate the Raven since his quests are the only way to get the Red Cave Key. Here's how:
Step 1
From the central area of Island 3, move toward the Spider Cave route (near “The Peak”).
Step 2
On the path to the Spider Cave, look to the side for a small camp with a campfire; the Raven (crow-like bird with red eyes) perches there.
Step 3
Interact with the Raven to start the first quest in his questline, which begins your path to Raven armor and the Red Cave Key.
How to complete the Raven quests for the Red Cave Key
The Red Cave door only opens once you have finished the first two Raven quests and obtained the key they award.
Raven’s first quest (Spider Cave tasks)
Raven’s initial quest sends you into the Spider Cave.
Step 1
Accept the first quest from Raven.
Step 2
Enter the Spider Cave and kill 5 Crystal Spiders to clear the main combat objective.
Step 3
Mine 10 Icy Pebbles and gather 1 Aetherit.
Step 4
Return to Raven at the camp and turn in the quest to receive early Raven armor rewards (progress toward Raven Chestplate) and move the questline forward.
Raven’s second quest (behind the forge)
After the first quest, the Raven changes position and his second quest is tied directly to the Red Cave area.
Step 1
Once you finish the first quest, go to the main forging area on Frostpire Expanse and look behind it for a big locked door. This is the new Raven location.
Step 2
Talk to Raven again at this second location to start the follow‑up quest.
Step 3
Clear this second quest by gathering 1 Snowite. Killing 10 Diamond Spiders and killing 1 Prismarine Spider.
Step 4
Return to the Raven at the door and complete the quest to get two rewards at once: the Raven Chestplate recipe and the crucial Red Cave Key.
How to unlock and enter the Red Cave door
When you receive the Red Cave Key, you are finally ready to open the door to Raven Cave.
Opening the Red Cave is just a simple interaction once you meet the requirements. Approach the lock on the door and interact with it by pressing E when prompted.
The lock will open and the door will slide away, revealing the Crimson Depths cave interior.
Walk through the doorway to fully load into the Red Cave, where you can begin mining new ores and tackling new enemies and quests.
Once inside, you can chase some of the strongest gear and resources currently in The Forge.
