The Demonic Pickaxe in Roblox’s The Forge is set up as the endgame mining tool: it sits behind a hidden chamber in the Forgotten Kingdom, costs a hefty amount of gold, and offers the highest Mine Power and Luck Boost in the game. The catch is that, right now, you can only reach its room and look at it — the door to it is still locked for players.
Demonic Pickaxe location in the Forgotten Kingdom
The Demonic Pickaxe lives deep under the Forgotten Kingdom, in a hidden area called the Volcanic Depths. Getting to that space is a small navigation puzzle on its own.
| Step | Action | What you should see |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Teleport to the Forgotten Kingdom. | You arrive at the main hub with Captain Rowan’s camp nearby. |
| 2 | Head to the Ruined Cave entrance in front of Captain Rowan’s camp. | A large cave opening that leads into the mining area. |
| 3 | Enter the Ruined Cave and follow the right-hand path. | Tunnels that eventually open into the Ashen Passage. |
| 4 | Go right to enter Ashen Passage. | Amber NPC ahead and the Magma Pickaxe on display. |
| 5 | Look to your right for walls covered in lava vines. | Two Basalt Veins sitting at the base of those vines. |
| 6 | Break both Basalt Veins. | A hidden drop opens, leading into Volcanic Depths. |
| 7 | Drop into Volcanic Depths and move to the right corner of the area. | A locked door framed by similar lava vines, with the Demonic Pickaxe behind it. |
Once you reach the Volcanic Depths door, you can see the Demonic Pickaxe on the other side, but you cannot buy or equip it yet. The game treats the room as locked content for a future update.
Basalt Veins and the pickaxe requirement
The route to the Demonic Pickaxe hinges on those Basalt Veins sitting under the lava vines in Ashen Passage. You cannot get into Volcanic Depths without clearing them out unless you rely on someone else.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Pickaxe needed | Mythril Pickaxe is required to mine Basalt Veins consistently. |
| Workarounds | You can still reach Volcanic Depths if another player breaks the Basalt Veins for you, or by slipping through a small gap if your movement allows it. |
| Nearby tools | The Magma Pickaxe (150,000 gold) sits in the same Ashen Passage area and is a strong upgrade for Forgotten Kingdom rocks. |
Demonic Pickaxe price and stats
The game data defines the Demonic Pickaxe as the top-tier mining tool.
| Pickaxe | Cost | Mine Power | Mine Speed | Luck Boost | Rune Slots |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magma Pickaxe | $150,000 | 135 | Not specified | 46% | 2 |
| Arcane Pickaxe | $125,000 | 115 | +10% | 50% | 3 |
| Demonic Pickaxe | $500,000 | 175 | -15% | 47.5% | 3 |
The Demonic Pickaxe trades a small hit to Mine Speed for a large jump in Mine Power and a best-in-slot Luck Boost. With three Rune Slots, it can stack mining runes to offset the speed penalty and push its already high power even further.
In practical terms, that stat line makes it the strongest pickaxe in The Forge’s current pipeline and the obvious target for players preparing for future islands and rarer ores.
Where the Demonic Pickaxe fits in pickaxe progression
The game’s pickaxe progression takes you through several key upgrades before you ever see the Demonic Pickaxe’s door.
| Stage | Recommended pickaxe | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Early World 1 | Starter / Stone / Platinum | Basic upgrades that improve Mine Power enough for early ores. |
| Mid-game World 1 | Arcane Pickaxe | High Mine Power, +10% Mine Speed, and 50% Luck Boost with 3 Rune Slots; strong enough to farm World 2. |
| World 2 entry | Mythril Pickaxe | Required to break Basalt Veins and reach hidden areas like the Volcanic Depths entry. |
| Late Forgotten Kingdom | Magma Pickaxe / Arcane Pickaxe | Magma can mine every current rock and has strong power and Luck Boost; Arcane remains competitive due to better Luck and more rune flexibility. |
| Future endgame | Demonic Pickaxe | Planned as the top-tier tool for Forgotten Kingdom grind and future islands, with the highest Mine Power and strong Luck. |
If you are still working through Forgotten Kingdom, focusing on Arcane or Magma while saving towards 500,000 gold is the most efficient path. By the time the Demonic Pickaxe becomes obtainable, you will already have the tools needed to reach its room quickly.
For now, the Demonic Pickaxe is equal parts goalpost and teaser: you can drop into a hidden lava chamber, stare at a half-million-dollar pickaxe with absurd stats, and then walk away empty-handed. Once the Volcanic Depths door finally opens, that run through Ruined Cave, Ashen Passage, and the Basalt Veins will turn into one of the most important routes in The Forge.
