The forge in Infinity Gauntlet | Thanos Simulator, developed by Blg42598 on Roblox, is the central crafting station used to forge powerful weapons including Stormbreaker, Mjolnir, Gungnir, and the Secret Weapon. Players activate the forge mechanism to summon special Templar NPCs, defeat them to harvest fragments, and feed those materials back into the structure to complete each craft. Beyond basic crafting, the forge also serves as a portal ground for the TVA zone and acts as a pivotal stage in summoning the late-game upgraded forge trials.
Forge Overview and How to Farm Fragments
The forge structure represents Nidavellir, a neutron star furnace orbited by heavy ring mechanisms. To craft weapons, you must gather fragments by activating the forge and defeating the enemies that appear.
According to the official Thanos Simulator wiki and gameplay footage, interacting with the forge operates on specific rules:
- Activating the Forge: Press the button at the forge console. Starting the cycle summons glowing blue Templar NPCs into the arena. Player tests note that starting the forge deducts kills (typically 100 to 250 kills from your counter).
- Harvesting Fragments: Defeat each spawned Templar to earn one fragment per kill. Earlier game versions allowed fragments to drop from holiday gift NPCs, but official wiki documentation confirms that as of Janurary 1, 2024, Templars are the primary source of regular fragments.
- Surviving the Cycle: The forge structure has an active duration of roughly 1 minute and 30 seconds, followed by a 35-second cooldown before it can be restarted. Players should keep their distance from the central furnace beam while it fires, as the released energy beam can kill your avatar.
- Farming Strategy: Community players frequently use gauntlet abilities, such as the Time Stone time freeze or high-damage weapons like the Power Stone or upgraded Stormbreaker, to defeat Templar waves quickly before restarting the forge cycle.
Forge Crafting Recipes and Weapon Requirements
Every forgeable item requires a specific fragment count, and certain weapons require specific prerequisites or items held in your inventory.
| Weapon | Fragment Cost | Prerequisites & Extra Items | Primary Abilities & Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stormbreaker | 100 Fragments | None | High melee damage, slam leap (E key), lightning throw/shot (X key), and unlocks Bifrost travel to the Catacombs. |
| Mjolnir | 350 Fragments | Stormbreaker unlocked | Lightning area blast (Q key), charged explosion (E key), and continuous lightning beam (R key). |
| Secret Weapon | 100 Fragments | Soul Stone in inventory | High-speed melee blade (Techno Blade style). Q allows teleportation; comes fully upgraded. |
| Gungnir | 750 Fragments | None (formerly 750 Robux gamepass) | Odin's spear. E fires a focused beam; Q spends full charge to summon the Bifrost and royal guards. |
Step-by-Step Weapon Forging Process
Crafting at the forge follows a consistent sequence across all four weapons:
- Accumulate Required Fragments: Farm enough Templars until your fragment count meets or exceeds the weapon's recipe threshold (100 for Stormbreaker or the Secret Weapon, 350 for Mjolnir, or 750 for Gungnir).
- Equip Prerequisites: If you are crafting the Secret Weapon, make sure you have obtained the Soul Stone (which drops with a 0.33% chance from standard NPCs) and keep it in your inventory. Do not hold it in active hand mode during the button press if prompted, but ensure it is in your loadout.
- Trigger the Furnace: Approach the forge console and interact with the button. When the console lights up, press it again to deposit the fragments.
- Wait for Smelting and Cooling: The molten metal inside the mold rises and glows with heating effects. Maintain defensive posture (such as using the gauntlet shield with C key) to protect against any roaming enemies.
- Collect the Item: Once the heated metal cools down and darkens to stone, the crafting process completes, granting the weapon directly to your inventory along with its corresponding Roblox achievement badge.
TVA Zone Behind the Forge
The forge area is also the access point for unlocking the Time Stick:
- Located on the ground directly behind the forge structure is an engraved time symbol.
- Aim at this floor symbol with your Infinity Gauntlet or Upgraded Infinity Gauntlet and trigger the Disintegrate ability (E key).
- Activating the symbol summons waves of Astra NPCs.
- Defeating all waves and eliminating the final Astra boss awards the Time Stick badge and weapon. Visiting the area again with the Time Stick unlocks higher-tier waves to obtain the TemPad.
The Upgraded Forge and Late-Game Weapon Trials
The forge plays a key role during the Mortis Trials to access the upgraded celestial forge:
- After completing the preparatory environmental steps—such as freezing the catacomb block with the Casket of Ancient Winters, hitting it with the Universal Weapon/Cosmi-Rod, executing a classic snap atop the Power Stone temple, and striking the center of Lunar Island with Mjolnir's lightning—players return to the forge.
- Power the forge and fire the Hadron Enforcer directly into the core when the siren sounds.
- Defeat all incoming celestial troops without letting any fall into the void, then execute a time stop to transition into the upgraded forge chamber.
- Inside the upgraded chamber, players adjust dials to specific color alignments (such as yellow, blue, or red) and complete dedicated puzzles or boss fights to unlock weapon upgrades for Mjolnir, the Hadron Enforcer, the Universal Weapon, and the Sword of Surtur.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you craft Stormbreaker without an Infinity Gauntlet?
You can collect fragments as long as you can defeat the Templars, but having the Infinity Gauntlet or high-tier weapons is strongly recommended to survive the Templar waves and use defensive shields while operating the console.
How do you get the Soul Stone needed for the Secret Weapon?
The Soul Stone is a rare drop from standard NPCs across the map, featuring an official drop rate of 0.33%. Once obtained, take it to the forge along with 100 fragments to craft the Secret Weapon.
Why did the forge not give me Stormbreaker after depositing fragments?
If you already unlocked Stormbreaker in your inventory or badge history, running the 100-fragment forge cycle will not grant a duplicate. If you meet the 350-fragment threshold instead, the forge prioritizes crafting Mjolnir.
Can Gungnir be upgraded at the forge?
Gungnir currently comes as a standalone weapon costing 750 fragments at the standard forge. In current public updates, an upgrade recipe for Gungnir is not confirmed in the celestial forge trial rooms.
