Frostspire Expanse is the chilly third island in The Forge that every Roblox player aiming to progress needs to explore. It’s packed with icy caves, new ores, tough enemies, and cool secrets like the Prismatic Pickaxe. Let’s dive right into how to unlock it, navigate the map, and uncover everything Frostspire has to offer.
Here’s a quick answer to get you started:
- Reach level 70 to unlock the Frostspire Expanse option in your Portal Tool.
- Use the Portal Tool to teleport directly to Frostspire’s spawn hub.
- Explore key areas like the Forge Area, Frozen Lake, caves, and seasonal event zones to find secrets and new ores.
How to unlock and access Frostspire Expanse
To get to Frostspire Expanse, you must first hit level 70 in The Forge. Once you reach this milestone, the Portal Tool will unlock the option to teleport to Frostspire. This tool becomes available after completing the tutorial and reaching level 10, but the Frostspire destination only appears after level 70. Simply equip the Portal Tool, select Frostspire Expanse, and teleport to start your icy adventure.

What the Frostspire map looks like and where to go
When you arrive, you’ll land at the central spawn hub, a snowy pier with merchants and a potion shop where you can stock up for expeditions. Nearby is the Forge Area, a unique forging station on the island where region-specific recipes (e.g., Excalibur-type weapons) are available. To the south lies the Frozen Lake, a key spot hiding the Prismatic Pickaxe secret beneath the ice.
On the left side of the spawn, you’ll find the seasonal event area featuring a Santa NPC during holidays. This zone offers special quests and rewards like Xmas Tickets for event items. Learn how to earn and spend these in the XMas Tickets guide.
The island also has multiple caves, vertical spires, and ruins filled with frost-themed enemies and rare ores. These include high-rarity frost-themed ores found in caves and vertical spires.
Examples include Frostspire-exclusive ores introduced in the Dec 25, 2025 Winter Expansion, found by breaking rocks and pebbles in caves and vertical spires. Each zone has its own challenges and rewards, so exploring thoroughly is worth it.
How to find Frostspire’s secrets
One of the biggest secrets is the Prismatic Pickaxe hidden under the Frozen Lake:
- Head to the southern pier and move right to find the frozen lake.
- Look for a hole in the ice that blocks your path.
- You need a pickaxe with at least 320 mining power to break through the ice.*
- Once mined, enter the hole to claim the Prismatic Pickaxe.
*Note: Mining power requirements are hidden; always check your pickaxe stats. For detailed pickaxe progression and mining power tips, see the pickaxe progression guide.
Seasonal event areas are accessible by taking a small boat from the spawn’s left pier during events. From spawn’s left pier, head to the Ice Island area and board the small boat to reach it. Talk to the Santa NPC to start quests and earn event currency like Xmas Tickets.
The Forge Area also holds recipes for unique Frostspire weapons like Mace, Spear, and Excalibur-type items.
Other secrets and edge cases:
- Some secret rooms require special keys or quest items obtained from other islands or quests, similar to Unknown or Demonite Keys from other islands.
- Check your pickaxe's exact mining power stat, as it may not match visual upgrades and fail hidden thresholds.
New ores and how they change forging
Frostspire introduces new frost-themed ores that appear in specific caves and rocks. These ores, introduced in the Dec 25, 2025 Winter Expansion, enable higher-tier forging outcomes and unique passives when mixed in recipes.
Frostspire introduces high-rarity frost-themed ores (two new farming areas confirmed), found by breaking rocks and pebbles in caves, vertical spires, or deep zones. These high-rarity ores significantly boost forging chances for top-tier gear with frost passives.
These ores are crucial for crafting higher-tier weapons and armor with unique passive traits. The deeper and more dangerous zones yield rarer ores, so mining there boosts your forging potential.
Using more and better ores increases your chances of crafting powerful gear. If you have the Fast Forge gamepass, you can skip the forging minigames, speeding up your crafting process.
Fighting enemies and bosses in Frostspire
Expect cold-themed enemies that can slow or freeze you. Boss fights include frost-themed bosses found in vertical spires or caves, where positioning and parrying are key. For boss strategies and gear recommendations, see the Frostspire Expanse Boss Guide.
To handle bosses solo, focus on parrying attacks and timing your moves carefully. Use choke points and safe zones to kite elite enemies and avoid getting overwhelmed.
Things to watch out for and seasonal content
Make sure your pickaxe’s mining power meets the hidden requirements before trying to break icy barriers. Some areas and secrets only appear during seasonal events, so check the calendar if you can’t access certain zones.
Also, some secret rooms might need special keys or quest items, so keep exploring other islands and completing quests.
