Adamantine forge doesn't give me my item

[Lackluster]

I put the mold and the mithril in the forge, fight Grym, and then after the fight when I release the mold it just gives me my mold back; no item!

[Zef]

Wait you can put mithril in it? I thought you could only use adamantite and a mold.

[Zeddekus]

Put mold in first than the ore. Than turn lava on. Boss fight and use lever and it's done. Maybe not doing first part in order or using wrong ore.

[Zambina]

Make sure you use the forge lever when the lava is flowing into the forge, otherwise it won't work

[Stotch]

The forge only let me make one item. Still have the molds and mythral. I made one item at the forge, had to save the game and deal with something irl. logged back in at the forge, everything was "stuck" nothing worked......yay one piece of armor.....all the forge hype....

[Paskua]

the same issue,.. any suggestions?

You can make more than one item.. I have 2

Zedd basically covered it, but there are guides on this, like the one here https://primagames.com/tips/baldurs-gate-3-how-to-use-the-adamantine-forge-bg3 that you might find helpful, just to make sure that you did all the steps correctly (probably some videos online as well if needed). If done right, the item should be where the mould is, and you just click the item to pick it up, rather than hit the mould release. If you did all the steps correctly, note that the process can still bug out--it's a little wonky unfortunately. My forge got stuck down in the lava and wouldn't go back up, but luckily I could still forge items. Good luck, hopefully you guys get it working!

So yea adamantine forge is defintely bugged.
I used it in 2 playthroughs where i reached it already and managed to get both items i wanted. But today in my strategist playthrough did i kill grym did all the steps beforehand correctly and when i used the "Eject Mold" lever did i only get the mold, not my Adamantin Splint Armor....
I also COULD NOT put a second mithril ore into the forge to try for a second item.
So i literally got NOTHING from the forge.

It's not hard :

- First, you put your mold in the sarcophagus.
- then place your mithral orein the slot in the middle of the forge
- Pull the lever once
The forge will descend and you turn the wheel to get the lava in the forge, then turn the lever again to strike the hammer.

Once the hammer has struck, the sacrophage opens and your item is on top. There's a possible bug: the lava may not leave. So you need to switch to turn-by-turn mode, spend a few turns, and the lava will remove itself. This allows you to craft the 2nd item

I craft 2 item with the forge : Middle and heavy armor. 0 problem. Just lava bug but resolve with passing turn-by-turn and pass 3 turns.

Or you can just press the reset button behind the hammer lever.

I am having the same problem. Killed the boss, slammed the hammer down while the lava was there, and nothing happened. I can hit the switch to go to the higher level but then I'm stuck there with no way to return to the lower level.

The error is that you release the mold.

You have to follow the smithing procedure to the letter.

put in mold
put in mithral
pull lever
activate lava (wheel)
pull lever
= item will be ejected (doing anything other here might break the sequence)

Put the forge in home position (button behind lever)

eject mold
repeat smithing procedure.

If it bugs out after putting it back into the home position, leave to camp and come back.

edit: just tested it with another character who arrived at the forge and it does work without putting the forge in the home position. So only the correct sequence is needed

[Hack]

in 2024, you have to place mold and insert ore inside thing in the middle. Then lava will flow

[Patchy]

You have to use the forge lever again to smash the metal thing on the crucible and then your item will pop out. You don't use the mould ejection lever, that will just give you your mould back.
