Power comes at a price — and the Demonic Pickaxe in The Forge proves it. Players call it the strongest pickaxe in the entire game, yet most never even lay eyes on it. Why? Because getting it requires slipping into a locked chamber buried deep in a dangerous cave… and here's where things get a little controversial.
Below is a fully rewritten, expanded, beginner-friendly guide that walks you through how to reach the Demonic Pickaxe, the glitches players currently use to enter the sealed room, and whether this ultra-expensive tool is really worth the trouble. And trust me — there’s more to this item than most people realize.
How to Obtain the Demonic Pickaxe in *The Forge*
Many pickaxes in The Forge help you mine ores, but only one sits at the top of the food chain: the legendary Demonic Pickaxe. Players chase it because of its incredible stats, but actually reaching the pickaxe is a journey full of obstacles.
The pickaxe sits proudly on a throne inside the Demonic Pickaxe Room, a hidden chamber tucked deep within the Volcanic Depths of the Forgotten Kingdom. The tricky part? The room is sealed, and entering it is far less straightforward than you might expect.
But let’s start from the beginning.
Step 1: Unlock the Forgotten Kingdom
To even begin your journey, you must first access the Forgotten Kingdom by using the Portal Tool. This unlocks a path to new regions, enemies, and — eventually — the pickaxe itself.
Step 2: Reach the Ruined Caves
Once inside the Forgotten Kingdom, interact with the nearby cannon. It will launch you directly in front of the Ruined Caves entrance. Make sure you're equipped with high-quality weapons and armor before going in, as the area is crawling with dangerous enemies that can overwhelm beginners.
Step 3: Navigate to the Ashen Passage
Enter the Ruined Caves, then take a right turn to find the Ashen Passage. At the end of this hallway, you’ll spot a Magma Pickaxe and two Basalt Veins. To break through, you’ll need a pickaxe capable of dealing at least 78 damage. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to dash through the gaps instead.
Step 4: Travel Through the Volcanic Depths
Once inside this fiery region, go right and continue forward until you encounter an ominous black door — this is the entrance to the Demonic Pickaxe Room.
Along the way, you’ll likely face:
- Elite Rogue Skeletons
- Blazing Slimes
Defeating or avoiding them is your choice, but slaying them rewards you with valuable items like runes and essences. Just remember: touching the lava will burn you instantly.
How to Enter the Demonic Pickaxe Room (Current Methods)
Here's the controversial part: there is no official way to enter the room yet.
The only known methods involve glitching your way inside.
Developers may patch these soon, so use them while you still can.
1. Demon Race Glitch
This method works only if you have the Demon race. If you don’t, reroll until you get it.
How to perform the glitch:
- Equip the Demon race.
- Stand in front of the black door.
- Repeatedly jump and use Demon Dash toward the door.
- Try both forward and backward dashes.
- If it doesn’t work, restart your game and try again.
2. Portal Dash Glitch
This method works for any player, regardless of race.
How to perform the glitch:
- Equip your portal.
- Place it directly in front of the locked gate.
- Immediately run toward the door.
- Start dashing the moment you place the portal.
If your timing is right, the portal’s spawning animation will push you straight through the door. It may take practice, but it’s doable.
Important Note:
These glitches are not guaranteed to work every time. Expect to attempt them several times before succeeding — and expect future patches to remove them entirely.
Once inside, you will finally see the glowing red Demonic Pickaxe, resting on a dark throne like a royal artifact.
Demonic Pickaxe Stats
Purchasing the Demonic Pickaxe costs a massive $500,000, making it the most expensive pickaxe in the game — and its stats reflect that:
- Mine Power: 175
- Mine Speed: –15%
- Luck Boost: +47.5%
- Rune Slots: 3
It boasts the highest Mining Power in the entire game. Although its mining speed is lower, this drawback can be offset using potions, totems, or Miner Shard runes.
Should You Buy the Demonic Pickaxe?
If raw power is what you want, the Demonic Pickaxe is undeniably one of the best options currently available. It works especially well when paired with:
- Mining-speed-boosting races
- Potions
- Totems
The price tag is steep, but making money quickly in The Forge is possible through quests, selling essences, or trading weapons and armor.
If the cost still feels overwhelming, you can always follow a pickaxe progression path using mid-tier tools instead.
