BG3: Both Mithral Ore Locations in the Grymforge

Where to find both Mithral Ore veins in the Grymforge in Baldur's Gate 3 — the two mining spots near the Ancient Forge you need to craft Adamantine gear.

Fusion Thunder By •

Quick Answer

There are only two Mithral Ore veins in Baldur's Gate 3, both near the Ancient Forge waypoint in the Grymforge. From the staircase by the forge, shoot the rock/vein with a bow to expose and collect the ore — a few Magma Mephits spawn at the first one. The second vein is reached by returning to the Ancient Forge signal and dropping down past more enemies, then shooting that vein too. Two veins give you enough Mithral to craft two Adamantine items.

The Adamantine Forge can’t craft anything without Mithral Ore, and there are only two veins in the entire game. Here’s exactly where to mine both, right next to the Ancient Forge.

Short Answer

There are only two Mithral Ore veins in Baldur’s Gate 3, both near the Ancient Forge waypoint in the Grymforge. From the staircase by the forge, shoot the rock/vein with a bow to expose and collect the ore — a few Magma Mephits spawn at the first one. The second vein is reached by returning to the Ancient Forge signal and dropping down past more enemies, then shooting that vein too. Two veins give you enough Mithral to craft two Adamantine items.

Key Takeaways

  • There are exactly 2 Mithral Ore veins — no more exist in the game.
  • Both are near the Ancient Forge waypoint in the Grymforge (Underdark).
  • Shoot the vein with a bow to mine it; you don’t need a special tool.
  • Magma Mephits spawn at the first vein — clear them before extracting.
  • Two veins = enough Mithral for two crafted items at the Adamantine Forge.
  • “Mithril” is just the common misspelling of Mithral.

Where Is the First Mithral Vein?

It’s on the staircase right by the Ancient Forge. Stand at the forge (where you insert the ore) and look at the staircase beside it — there’s a rock you can shoot open with a bow to reveal the Mithral. A few Magma Mephits spawn when you do, so clear them, then shoot the exposed vein to drop the ore and pick it up.

Where Is the Second Mithral Vein?

Return to the Ancient Forge signal and drop down to find the second vein. Head back up the staircase to the Ancient Forge signal, deal with the enemies there, then go down to find the second vein. Shoot it the same way to collect a second piece of Mithral Ore — now you have enough for two crafts.

FAQ

How many Mithral Ore veins are in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Two, both in the Grymforge near the Ancient Forge waypoint. That’s enough Mithral to craft two Adamantine items.

How do you mine Mithral Ore?

Shoot the vein (or the rock covering it) with a bow. You don’t need a pickaxe or special weapon — a ranged attack exposes and frees the ore.

Is it Mithral or Mithril?

The game spells it Mithral; “Mithril” is the common fantasy spelling people search for. They refer to the same ore.

What is Mithral Ore used for?

It’s the material the Adamantine Forge combines with a mould to craft gear. Each item needs one Mithral Ore in the crucible.

Do the Magma Mephits respawn?

The mephits spawn when you disturb the first vein. Clear them once, then mine freely — they’re a one-time spawn at that node.
