\nOnce you have **The Forge Unknown Key**, you\u2019re one step closer to getting the Arcane Pickaxe! There are two contenders for the best pickaxe in [The Forge](https:\/\/www.roblox.com\/games\/76558904092080\/The-Forge) \u2013 see which one we recommend in our [The Forge Arcane Versus Demonic Pickaxe](https:\/\/www.gamezebo.com\/walkthroughs\/the-forge-arcane-versus-demonic\/) guide.<\/p>\n
## The Forge Unknown Key<\/p>\n
For a key that\u2019s supposed to be unknown, we sure do know a lot about it.<\/p>\n
### How to Get the Unknown Key<\/p>\n
To obtain the Unknown Key, you first need to complete a **side quest** from the **Bard NPC** in **Stonewake\u2019s Cross**. This quest is \u2018*The Lost Guitar*\u2018, and it requires you to find the Bard\u2019s missing guitar. Luckily, while it\u2019s hidden, it\u2019s pretty easy to find once you know where to go.<\/p>\n
1. Speak to the **Bard** sitting by the **campfire** in **Stonewake\u2019s Cross** to start the quest
\n2. Next, head into the **caves** of Stonewake\u2019s Cross and **turn left** as soon as you reach the two NPCs
\n3. Look to the **left** to see **moss** on the floor with **leaves**
\n4. Head over to it and walk on top of it to **fall through** into a **secret location**
\n5. There is a **skeleton** in this cave, and the **lost guitar** is to the **right** of it
\n6. Interact with the guitar to pick it up and climb up the ladder to get back to the main cave
\n7. Follow the pathway out of the cave and walk over to the Bard NPC
\n8. Speak with him to hand over his lost guitar to complete the quest
\n9. The Bard gives you the **Unknown Key** as a reward<\/p>\n
### What is the Unknown Key?<\/p>\n
The Unknown Key is a usable item when unlocking the gate to the **Fallen Angel\u2019s Cave**. What\u2019s the importance of this secret location, you ask? Well, this is where you can purchase the **Arcane Pickaxe**.<\/p>\n
This gate cannot otherwise be opened without the Unknown Key. Even if you don\u2019t want the Arcane Pickaxe, which I do recommend getting, it\u2019s still a good side quest to complete! You never know, the Fallen Angel\u2019s Cave might have more importance in future updates.<\/p>\n
### Frequently Asked Questions<\/p>\n
#### Is the Arcane Pickaxe Worth it?<\/p>\n
Definitely! It\u2019s one of the [best pickaxes](https:\/\/www.gamezebo.com\/walkthroughs\/what-is-the-best-pickaxe-in-the-forge\/) in the game right now. In some ways, it\u2019s even better than the Demonic Pickaxe, despite the obtainment method for that one being much trickier. However, the Arcane Pickaxe boasts a strong **Mining Power**, a **50% Luck boost**, and comes with **3 Rune Slots**.<\/p>\n
Once you unlock the Fallen Angel\u2019s Cave, you can purchase the Arcane Pickaxe for **125K Gold**.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
