Grinding in The Forge got you down? Tomo's lost cat quest turns that grind into a real payoff, if you know where to look.
Here's the quick scoop:
- Cat location: Inside Goblin Cave (World 2 Forgotten Kingdom), behind waterfall: pass through invisible wall/rock after unlocking cave with Goblin King key.
- Prerequisites: Level 10 and unlock World 2 portal by completing main World 1 quest line; finish all Goblin King quests to get the key.
- Rewards: Cash, XP (significant level up), Scammed achievement (from final Goblin King task), CatLover title, and Tomo's Cat item.
Let's get you started with Tomo
First, head to Stonewake’s Cross in World 1 and talk to Tomo. He’ll give you the quest called “Lost Cat :(” which kicks off this whole adventure. Accept it and prepare for some serious grinding.
Prerequisites: Level 10 and World 2 unlock
You need to reach at least level 10 and complete the main quest line in World 1 to unlock the portal to the Forgotten Kingdom (World 2). No specific Sensei Moro quests are required beyond general progression. For tips on quest progression, check out the Sensei Moro quest guide.
Navigating to the Goblin Village
Once the portal to the Forgotten Kingdom is open, step through and follow this route:
- From spawn, take the left/down path
- Move forward past the initial area
- Turn right to reach the Goblin Village
Unlocking that pesky Goblin Cave: Goblin King quests
The Goblin King quests are a 5-stage line requiring escalating cash payments (totaling around 100,000 cash), culminating in the final task. Exact early requirements aren't detailed, but focus on farming cash. The final task is 5 Rubies + $25,000 cash.
| Task | Requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | Escalating cash amounts (total ~75,000 before final) | Farm cash via World 1 quests like Bard’s Guitar |
| 5 | 5 Rubies + $25,000 cash | Triggers "scammed" achievement; Goblin King teleports, key drops on throne (press E); use on door beside throne |
Pro tip: Use totems and potions to farm cash/gems faster. Doing the Bard’s Lost Guitar quest in World 1 helps earn cash.
After handing over the final task, the Goblin King enters his tent, leaving a giant key on his throne. Press E to grab it. Use the key on the locked door beside him to enter the Goblin Cave.
Entering the Goblin Cave and finding Tomo’s cat
After getting the key, enter the Goblin Cave via the locked door beside the throne. Inside the cave, follow the path to a large clearing with a waterfall. Go behind the waterfall and interact/walk/dash through the invisible wall/rock/illusion (may require sprint/dash). Press E on the cat inside.

Returning to Tomo and claiming your rewards
After grabbing the cat, head back through the portal to World 1 and return to Tomo. He’ll reward you with cash, XP (significant level up), the Scammed achievement, the CatLover title, and a unique Tomo's Cat item.
This quest is a solid mid-game goal. It’s not worth rushing early, but once you have the right gear and levels, it’s a rewarding way to break up the grind. For tracking your progress through quests like this, consider using the The Forge checklist.
Good luck out there!
