BG3: All 6 Adamantine Forge Mould Locations

The Adamantine Forge makes the best gear in Act 1, but you need a mould for each item. Here’s the fastest route through the Grymforge to grab all six — using nothing but well-placed jumps.

Short Answer

All 6 Adamantine moulds are scattered around the Grymforge and can be reached just by jumping — no Misty Step needed (a Strength-based jumper clears the gaps more easily). Starting from the Grymforge waypoint and heading up the stairs, collect the Longsword, Shield (on a skeleton behind a door), Scimitar (past a lockpicked door), Splint Armor (heavy), Mace, and Scale Mail (medium) moulds. Once all six are in your inventory, head to the Adamantine Forge to craft.

• Start at the Grymforge waypoint and go up the stairs.
• Most pickups are reached by jumping — a high-Strength character helps.
• The Shield mould is on a skeleton behind a door; the Scimitar is past a lockpicked door.
• The Splint Armor mould is reached by a small drop (you’ll lose a little HP).
• The Scale Mail mould is guarded — clear the enemies first.

What Is the Mould Route?

Begin at the Grymforge waypoint, head up the stairs, and jump between the ledges to reach each mould. You don’t need Misty Step — every mould is reachable on foot with jumps, though a Strength-based character makes the longer gaps easier.

Order	Mould	Where
1	Longsword	First tablet, near the start after the initial jumps
2	Shield	Through an unlocked door — looted from a skeleton
3	Scimitar	Back through a lockpicked door, further in
4	Splint Armor (heavy)	Reached by a drop that costs a little HP
5	Mace	Near the waypoint, where you can regroup your party
6	Scale Mail (medium)	Guarded — defeat the enemies, then loot

When the last mould is in your bag you’ll have all six. Now make your way to the Adamantine Forge to start crafting.

FAQ

How many Adamantine moulds are there in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Six: Longsword, Shield, Scimitar, Splint Armor (heavy), Mace, and Scale Mail (medium). Each lets you craft one Adamantine item at the forge.

Do you need Misty Step to get the moulds?

No. Every mould can be reached by jumping, though a Strength-based character with a longer jump makes the route smoother.

Which Adamantine moulds are the best?

The Splint Armor mould (best Act 1 heavy armor) and Scale Mail mould (best medium armor) are the standout picks, but you can craft any of the six.

What do you need besides the moulds?

Mithral Ore — one ore per item, mined from the two veins near the Ancient Forge waypoint. The forge combines a mould plus Mithral to craft the gear.
