Adamantine forge lava won't go down (can't find a topic on this in the forums)

[Geawiel]

This seems common knowledge-ish, but I couldn't find anything in a google search, nor here.

SPOILER WARNING BELOW










So, anyone that hasn't done so already. I ran across a bug when using the adamantine forge. I killed Gyrm (sp?) before casting the second item. I did the steps to cast the second item. Which, of course, requires letting loose the lava. It would not go down, and would not retreat on its own. Thus, I was stuck down there. Only way out was to fast travel.

Same issue. What's the second item to cast? I cast one item and picked it up during the fight.

The lava was going down, but after killing the fire imp things, the lava hasn't receded.

Does it harm the character? Because lava should stay for two rounds, if you still see the lave then it is just a visual glitch.

For OP, well i did not even realise there was a button to go up...so i just ...fast travelled out as well. You also don't really need to come back, since you wont find more mithril ore.

It was after the fight for me. I killed the guardian, then remembered I had a second piece of mithril. I went through the steps. The item was made, but the lava didn't go down again. It seems as though it won't go down after the guardian fight. It may, or may not, be tied to the guardian dying on the central part bug.

During the fight it retreated just as it was supposed to. Even after the imps.

[Sawtaytoes]

No. I can walk in the Lava that stays around. But I can't use any of the machinery anymore to make the second set of equipment.

[Sawtaytoes]

Wait, you're not supposed to be able to kill the guardian?

[Goodmead/Zalcon]

Solution:
After killing Grym, you can make one and then a second item with the forge. If the forge is stuck in the down position, after you make your second item, you need to manually enter TURN BASED MODE, allow the "Environment" to take a few turns, eg. just cycle through the turns a few times. It took me two full rounds before the lava left the platform. Once the lava is off the platform you should be able to push the button to raise the platform.

[Sawtaytoes]

I already pushed up the platform. I can't add anything to it. The only thing that works is the big hammer that comes down. I can't put in mythril or add a mould.

Some guy also wrote that if you raise the platform again it will bug out, lower the platform again and try now.

[Sawtaytoes]

How do you lower it again? The way I lowered it the first time was triggering the hammer to come down.

[Geawiel]

I'm doing another play through right now. Started again with a circle of spore druid. I'll try some of these solutions to see if they work. I didn't even think of turn based.

My thought is to give Karlac, or whoever has the highest str, a giant strength potion and use enlarge. I want to see if they can throw the guardian off the forge. Then I can see if that will cause it to work properly.

I'll also see if killing him off of the forge works still. I think I was able to get it to work that way in beta. I just got to the grove. So it'll be a while. I'll still report back when I get there.

I had gone up already. I forgot about the mithril there. I went back down and made the second item. Because the guardian was already there on the forge, it bugged. At least I think. It was a pain in the ass to get the other mithril piece in the forge because it kept selecting the guardian.

[AnganTyr]

I didn't even found Gyrm and have the lava problem before being able to build the first item. Only escape from the lower floor is fast travel as well.

[Willa Grey]

You can shoot the button that raised the platform to make it go back down.

I had an issue where I couldn't put the 2nd ore back in. The crucible could not be interacted with, and the mold ejection and lava valves were stuck. I reloaded and did the fight over and was able the make the 2nd item. I made sure to add the 2nd ore before replacing the mold.
There is still residual lava around the place, but not as much as when the valve is turned.

[Geawiel]

I killed him off of the forge just now. Everything worked just fine. Lava went down on its own and all. Was able to make 2 items.

[Goilveig]

Had the lava linger around forever, too. Entering turn based mode and simply ending turn a bunch of times fixed it.

There are two mithril veins that I know of in Grymforge, be sure to look around the forge area before you leave if you haven't found it.
