Adamantine Forge Bug - Can’t lower the platform

[Tux]

Hey guys,

Fully stuck at the forge, I put the ore in with the mold and when I hit the forge lever, the platform doesn’t lower. It makes all the noises and animations but stays in place.

I’ve tried featherfalling down to push the platform button and it does the same thing, the platform just doesn’t lower. Any help? Haven’t forged one item yet or faced the boss.

During Early Access, that area was really buggy for me as I was playing primarily on Vulkan. Since retail launch, I've been using DirectX as Vulkan crashes immediately and asks to re-validate.

Case in point, I could raise/lower the platform in Vulkan, but couldn't create an item in it. I could create the item in DirectX but couldn't retrieve it. Was able to pick it up just fine in Vulkan.

Have you tried using the other API?

I had this bug as well yesterday. The solution I found was to go to go to and then exit my camp. Did that and the forge worked properly.

I had issues the first time around. But following the strict order, I now have it working.
1. Mould in slot.
2. Ore into crucible.
3. Hammer
4. Wait a moment
5. Fight the Forge guardian.

Thanks for the suggestions. Followed the order above and it just keeps doing the same thing. Crucible noises/animations but no guardian appearance and the platform doesn’t lower. Tried camping and going back again but same results.

Think I’ve just gotta give this one quest up and move on!

Tried switching from group mode to individual turn mode. I found that helped a few times. When it reached Enviornmental turn it ground and hissed and moved a bit.
