Ready to level up your endgame game in The Forge? The Demonite Key is your golden ticket to the coveted Demonic Pickaxe, a must-have for serious players. But getting your hands on this key isn't a walk in the park. Let's dive into how you can snag this essential item and unlock the pickaxe's incredible power.
To begin your quest, you'll need to seek out the Demon NPC, Skal. He's the key to obtaining the Demonite Key. But where do you find this fiery fellow? Skal resides deep within the Volcanic Depths of the Ruined Caves in the Forgotten Kingdom.
First things first: you'll need a portal tool to teleport to this new region. Once you're ready, follow these steps:
- Use the massive cannon to reach the hilltop and enter the Ruined Caves.
- Take the right path, then another right turn to find the room with the Amber NPC. Break the Basalt Vein to enter the room below.
- Navigate past the molten lava and take the right path to discover a secret room where Skal is waiting.
The room is on the left of the locked Demonic Pickaxe door.

Head back into the Volcanic Depths and break the Volcanic Rocks with your best pickaxe. Make sure your pickaxe has over 100 Mining power to break them.
But here's where it gets controversial... Breaking the Volcanic Rocks is the only way to get Demonite ores. However, the drop rate is incredibly low, with only a 1 in 3666 chance! This means you'll need patience and persistence to mine your way to those three ores. Consider checking out guides on the best pickaxes to optimize your mining efficiency.
Once you have the ores, return to Skal and hand them over to receive the Demonite Key.
How to Use Your Hard-Earned Demonite Key
With the Demonite Key in your possession, you can now enter the previously locked Demonic Pickaxe Room. While some players have used glitches to access the room, the key provides a guaranteed entry.
Inside the room, you'll find the Demonic Pickaxe, boasting an impressive 175 mining power. Plus, with three Rune Slots, you can equip powerful shards to further boost its capabilities.
What's the Use of a Demonite Key?
The Demonite Key is your access pass to the Demonic Pickaxe room, where you can purchase the pickaxe for $500,000.
And this is the part most people miss... The Demonic Pickaxe isn't just about raw power; it's about the strategic advantage it gives you in the endgame. With its high mining power and rune slots, you can efficiently gather resources and dominate the game.
