The Forge is one of those games where the more you know, the faster you snowball. On the surface it's just mining, forging, and grinding, but once you dig into the community myths—secret ores, hidden rooms, forge tricks, even weird cannon glitches—you start realizing there's a lot more going on.

I've gone through 10 of the most talked‑about secrets in The Forge, tested them, and sorted them into confirmed, unconfirmed, and works but risky. Some of them genuinely help you finish the game faster; others are just memes that might get you kicked out of the server if you push them too far.

Here's a full breakdown of each myth, what really happens in game, and what it means for you if you want to grind smarter instead of just longer.

↖ Quick Overview: 10 Myths in The Forge at a Glance

If you just want the bird's‑eye view, this table gives you the TL;DR before we dive into detail.

Now let's go myth by myth and unpack how each one actually works.

↖ 1. Retry the Forge Minigame by Leaving the Game

This is one of the most impactful secrets if you care about perfect forge outcomes.

↖ What the Myth Says

• If you fail the forging clicky clicky minigame and mess up your perfects,
• You can leave the game before finishing the minigame,
• Then rejoin and redo the entire forge minigame for that item.

The hope here is simple: no more wasting resources on a bad run.

↖ What I Tested

• Crafted a simple armor piece (like a light helmet).
• Started the forge minigame, intentionally messed up some hits.
• Before finalizing, left the game completely.
• Rejoined and went back to the forge.

Result: the forge menu allowed me to redo the minigame for that same item.

I also tested:

- Forging a different type of gear (e.g., dagger instead of leggings).

- Leaving and rejoining to see if the item itself would change.

Result: the item type stayed exactly the same. The dagger was still a dagger.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: Confirmed (but with limits).

What really happens is this:

- You can redo the minigame for the item you already rolled.

- You cannot change what the game decided to give you (no free reroll item type).

In other words, what really matters here is that you can chase a better quality/masterwork result on the same base item without losing the entire attempt.

If you hate seeing your masterwork potential thrown away because of a couple of bad clicks, this trick is absolutely worth using.

↖ 2. Galaxycide: The 1-in-1,000,000 Secret Ore

This is the big urban legend of The Forge.

↖ What the Myth Says

• There's a secret ore called Galaxycide (often misremembered as Galactic).
• It has a 1 in 1,000,000 chance to drop from any ore in the game.
• Some screenshots exist supposedly showing players who got it.

For comparison:

- Something like Darkrite is already around 1 in 6,000, and most players feel how brutal that is.

↖ What I Saw

• Searching for Galaxycide only pulls up one or two screenshots from players.
• There's no official entry for it in the in‑game index.
• The screenshots look questionable, and they're recent but not backed by dev confirmation.
• Community rumors say it was added during testing, sometimes given by a developer manually.

If you think about the numbers:

- To reasonably expect to see a 1-in-1,000,000 drop, you'd be mining at full focus for days and still probably see nothing.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: Unconfirmed for live servers.

- Most likely scenario:

- Galaxycide did exist in a test phase.

- It may have been dev-given or only obtainable in a temporary environment.

- It's currently not realistically obtainable by just mining.

If you find yourself tempted to just grind until I see one:

- Ask yourself if you really want to invest 20+ days of mining into chasing a ghost that might not even be in the live drop tables.

If you somehow have a legit screenshot or proof from live servers, then you're in unicorn territory—share it, but be ready for people to doubt it.

↖ 3. Hands‑Free Mining with ESC Trick (No Autoclicker Needed)

This is a small trick, but it's a huge quality‑of‑life improvement.

↖ What the Myth Says

• Normally, you can hold left click (or tap/hold on mobile) to mine continuously.
• For high‑HP rocks, holding for minutes hurts your hand.
• The trick:

1. Hold down left click to start mining.

2. Press ESC (pause menu opens).

3. Release left click while ESC menu is up.

4. Press ESC again to close the menu.

- Your character should keep mining hands‑free.

↖ What I Observed

• After doing this sequence correctly, mining continues on its own.
• The cursor can even move off the game window, and mining still goes.
• To stop, a single click cancels the auto‑mining behavior.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: Confirmed.

If you:

- Don't have access to an autoclicker, or

- Just don't want to risk external tools,

this trick is perfect.

If you find your fingers hurting after a long mining session, then this simple ESC trick can literally save you physical pain while still keeping your grind efficient.

↖ 4. Half-HP X-Ray to Preview Ore Drops

This is less a glitch and more a soft mechanic everyone high‑level uses.

↖ What the Myth Says

• Mine a rock down to around half HP.
• At that point, you can see what it's about to drop (e.g. Fire ore).
• If the upcoming loot is bad, you can walk away, let the rock respawn, then try again.

↖ How It Plays Out

- When you bring a rock down to half HP, you can see the projected drop.

- If the drop is bad:

- You leave the rock alone.

- After about 30 seconds, the rock regenerates.

- You can mine it again for a completely different loot roll.

So instead of fully mining every rock and wasting time on junk:

- You half-mine → peek → reject or accept.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: Confirmed and widely used.

This is basically a built‑in time‑save for higher‑end players.

If you notice that your grind feels slow and you're mining full rocks for bad ore, then using this method will cut your time per good drop significantly. It pairs amazingly with mining boosts and events.

↖ 5. Sapota Gamepass Is Useless… Or Is It?

This one starts as a complaint and ends as a solid min‑max option.

↖ What the Myth Says

- The Sapota gamepass costs Robux and just supports devs.

- It supposedly has no real gameplay benefit beyond flexing.

↖ What the Store Page Actually Says

The Sapota pass gives:

• Sapotas in game, plus:
• 10% XP boost
• 10% luck boost
• A Sapota game tag in game
• Extra booster peeks / sneak peeks in the official Discord

So not only does it give you cosmetics, it also provides passive progression buffs and early info on future content.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: Debunked.

The pass absolutely has gameplay value:

- 10% XP may not feel huge moment to moment, but over long sessions it stacks up.

- 10% luck complements rare drop hunting and event grinds.

If you have Robux burning a hole in your pocket, Sapota becomes a long‑term investment rather than a pure donation. If you're F2P, you aren't required to get it, but it's inaccurate to call it useless.

↖ 6. The New Boss Area Already Exists Behind the Gate

Boss rumors spread fast, especially when a model has been teased.

↖ What the Myth Says

• A new boss has been teased for Island 2.
• Some players claim the boss arena is already in the game,
• Hiding behind a certain gate, visible with the right tools.

↖ What the Freecam Check Showed

Using freecam (Shift + P, content‑creator level access):

- Flying behind the gate that people suspect is the boss area.

- Result: absolutely nothing—just a dead end with no actual boss arena built yet.

We also know from dev info that:

- The boss area is not due until December 25th.

- Given that timeline, it makes sense that nothing is placed there yet.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: False (for now).

There is no fully built hidden boss area sitting behind that gate at this moment.

If you see leaks showing a fully built arena behind the gate, treat them as mockups, old test builds, or edited content until proven otherwise.

↖ 7. Secret Fish Room and the Useless-but-Hilarious Fishillium

This is one of the more charming secrets in the game.

↖ What the Myth Says

• On Island 1, there's a house hiding a secret room.
• If you dash into a specific triangle section of the building, you can phase inside.
• Down there, you'll find lucky blocks that drop a material called Fishillium.
• Fishillium can be forged into weapons/armor… but with zero actual stats.

↖ What Happens in Game

Steps:

1. Go to the specific house on Island 1.

2. Dash into the small triangular corner of the wall.

3. You're moved into a hidden passage leading downward.

4. At the bottom: multiple lucky blocks.

5. Breaking them yields Fishillium—a material that's essentially an ad for the devs' other game, The Abyss.

Forging Fishillium into weapons/armor:

- Creates fish-themed gear that looks funny.

- Has no real damage or practical combat value.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: Confirmed.

If you want:

- A way to troll your friends (this is the strongest ore in the game, trust me), or

- Just some unique, goofy gear to show off,

this secret room is absolutely worth visiting. If you're optimizing progression, it's pure fun, not power.

↖ 8. Secret Cat Quest Behind the Volcanic Waterfall

The volcano area looks expensive and underwhelming at first glance, but it has one nice little secret.

↖ What the Myth Says

• You unlock the volcano area for about $100,000.
• Many players feel it's useless except for one secret.
• Supposedly, behind a waterfall, you can dash into a hidden room with a cat.
• Bringing this cat back to Island 1 completes a secret quest paying around $20,000.

↖ In-Game Experience

• The volcano / goblin cave area does feel underused for many players.
• Dashing through the right spot behind the waterfall indeed sends you to a hidden room.
• Inside is a cat that you can interact with and take back.
• Returning it to Island 1 triggers a hidden quest that pays out roughly 20k.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: Confirmed.

Is this enough to make the entire volcano area worth its price on its own? Probably not. But:

- If you've already unlocked it, you should grab the cat and take the easy 20k.

- If you love finding secrets, this is one of the more classic hidden waterfall room nods in the game.

↖ 9. Infinite Flight via Cannon + Internet Disconnect (Risky)

This one is half glitch, half chaos—and not something I recommend for everyday use.

↖ What the Myth Says

• If you jump into the cannon and turn off your internet at the right moment,
• You'll keep flying forever in one direction.
• Turning the internet back on should drop you down normally.

↖ What Actually Happened

Test runs:

1. Turned off internet before using the cannon → nothing interesting.

2. Tried again: jumped, then killed the connection mid‑launch.

- Character started flying far across the map, clearly bugged.

3. Turned internet back on:

- The game detected abnormal movement and

- Triggered an anti‑TP kick (anti‑teleport).

So the infinite flight part does work briefly, but the anti‑cheat does not like it at all.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: Technically works, but extremely risky.

If you care about:

- Account longevity, or

- Not getting flagged by anti‑cheat systems,

then don't treat this as a fun travel trick. Even if you don't get outright banned, frequent anti‑TP kicks are a big red flag.

If you find yourself thinking, It would be funny to try this once, you have to accept the risk: the game clearly wasn't designed for this and reacts defensively.

↖ 10. Everyone Already Knows These Secrets, They're Useless

The last myth is more of a mindset issue.

↖ What the Myth Implies

- Tricks like half‑HP x‑ray, forge retries, or ESC auto‑mine are old news.

- If everyone knows them, they don't actually matter.

↖ Why That's Misleading

In practice:

• Many players still don't use the forge retry trick.
• A surprising number of people still hold their mouse manually for long mining sessions.
• Plenty of newer players unlock volcano but never find the waterfall cat quest.
• Even experienced players sometimes ignore 10% boosts from gamepasses, underestimating long‑term impact.

These secrets have different kinds of value:

• Power value: forge retries, x‑ray mining, Sapota passive boosts.
• Comfort value: ESC hands‑free mining.
• Flavor/fun value: Fishillium room, secret cat, lore and Easter eggs.
• Risk lesson: cannon glitch showing how anti‑TP can hit you.

↖ Verdict & What It Means for You

- Myth Status: False.

If you integrate even two or three of these into your routine:

• You forge more efficiently.
• You mine with less effort.
• You enjoy the world more instead of just staring at HP bars.

If you notice you're still playing The Forge the exact same way you did on day one, then there's definitely value in revisiting these secrets with fresh eyes.

↖ FAQ: Common Questions About Secrets & Myths in The Forge

↖ 1. Can I get banned for using the cannon + internet glitch?

You're already seeing anti-TP kicks when you do it, which means the system thinks your movement is suspicious. While a single test probably won't insta‑ban you, repeatedly abusing it is a bad idea. Treat it as high risk, low real reward.

↖ 2. Will the forge retry trick get patched?

It might. Any trick that lets you avoid the full cost of a failed minigame is something devs could review. Right now, it just lets you redo the minigame for the same item, which isn't outright broken, but it's still a soft exploit of the current logic. Use it expecting that it could stop working in a future update.

↖ 3. Does Galaxycide really exist in live servers?

We don't have reliable, verified, up‑to‑date proof that it currently drops normally from mining. Most indications point to it being a testing-phase relic or dev‑spawn‑only item. Until the devs explicitly confirm it's obtainable, consider it unconfirmed and don't burn your sanity chasing it.

↖ 4. Is Sapota gamepass pay‑to‑win?

It's more like pay‑to‑optimize:

- The 10% XP and luck boosts help over long sessions.

- You still need to put in the time and effort.

If you're strict F2P, you can absolutely still progress and enjoy the game; Sapota just smooths the curve a bit and gives some status perks.

↖ 5. Is the volcano area really useless?

Not entirely. While it can feel underwhelming for many players, it still:

- Hosts high-level mobs and ores,

- Contains the secret waterfall cat quest worth about 20k.

If you're struggling to justify the 100k unlock cost, treat it as a late‑game area plus hidden content, not a raw early-game investment.

↖ Conclusion

The Forge hides a surprising amount of depth behind what looks like straightforward mining and forging. Once you know that you can redo forge minigames, preview ore drops at half HP, mine hands‑free with an ESC trick, and explore secret rooms and quests, the game starts feeling less like a grind and more like a world you can exploit—smartly.
