How to Get Dragon Head Pickaxe in The Forge

The latest cave update in The Forge didn’t just add new enemies and ores; a few powerful mining tools have also been added for all the late gamers. There are secret caves and tons of new quests to keep you engaged for the next couple of weeks as well. In this guide, check out the steps to get the Dragon Head pickaxe in The Forge, along with its stats.

How to Unlock Dragon Head Pickaxe in The Forge

Before you can even have a look at the new pickaxe, you must unlock the brand new area called the Raven Cave. This is located on The Forge Island 3, added in the Frostspire expansion update. Since this is a late-game content, you must reach level 70 and have the portal tool unlocked to reach this island.

Once you get to the new island, the Raven Cave will be locked at first. To unlock it, you’ll require the Red Cave Key, obtained as a reward for completing the quests of the Raven bird NPC. Once obtained, use it to open the cave door, and head inside. Now follow the steps below to reach the secret location having the Dragon Head Pickaxe:

• Head straight from the cave entrance, and steer a right from the first diversion.
• You will spot a glowing red orb area. Head straight to that place and then take the right from there.

• Now, make your way through the leaves, and you will enter the secret cave area. Past the NPCs, the new Dragon Head pickaxe will be present.
• Talk to each NPC and complete the Cult Quesline in The Forge to unlock the Dragon Head Pickaxe.

Here, you can spend an amount of 2,750,000 gold to purchase the Dragon Head pickaxe. Once purchased, it will be instantly added to your inventory.
