The Prismatic Pickaxe is one of the most powerful mining tools currently available in Roblox The Forge. Added during the XMAS update alongside the third island, this pickaxe quickly became a late-game goal for miners thanks to its massive mining power, high luck bonus, and multiple rune slots.
That said, getting it isn’t straightforward. The Prismatic Pickaxe is hidden behind an iceberg in a secret area, and unlocking it requires levels, quests, and a lot of patience. This guide explains exactly how to obtain the Prismatic Pickaxe, where to find it, how to break the iceberg, and whether it’s actually worth the cost.
Where to Find the Prismatic Pickaxe in The Forge
The Prismatic Pickaxe is located on the third island, inside a hidden chamber beneath the Frozen Lake in the Frostspire Expanse.
Before you can even reach this area, you’ll need to:
- Reach Level 70
- Unlock the Frostspire Expanse using the Portal Tool
Once you arrive in Frostspire Expanse, turn left from the spawn point and keep moving forward until you reach a frozen lake. Near the edge, you’ll notice a small opening beside a chair, as if someone was fishing there earlier. Jump into this hole and dive down—this leads directly to the secret chamber where the Prismatic Pickaxe is locked behind an iceberg.
How to Break the Iceberg in The Forge
Reaching the pickaxe is only half the challenge. The real obstacle is the iceberg blocking access to it.
To break the iceberg, your pickaxe must have at least 320 mining power. Only a few pickaxes in the game meet this requirement.
Pickaxes That Can Break the Iceberg
- Christmas Pickaxe – 550 mining power (available from the Christmas Store)
- Frost Pickaxe – 420 mining power (unlocked after completing Sensei Moro’s Quest 7)
- Void Pickaxe – also capable, but more expensive
If you don’t already own the Christmas Pickaxe, the Frost Pickaxe is usually the best option, as it’s the minimum requirement and doesn’t force you to overspend.
Mining the iceberg is slow and exhausting. It has more health than almost any other rock in the game, so it’s strongly recommended to use:
- Miner Potions
- Mining Totems
These boosts won’t make it instant, but they significantly reduce the time spent mining.
Once the iceberg is destroyed, you can finally access the pickaxe—but you’ll still need enough money to buy it.
Can You Skip the Iceberg?
If you have the Demon race, it’s possible to Demon Dash through the iceberg without breaking it. However, this method comes with an important downside: you won’t receive the Mosasaurite ore required for proper access. This prevents players from glitching their way to the pickaxe without completing the intended process. Check out our guide on how to reroll races to get your desired race.
In short, breaking the iceberg the normal way is still the safest and most reliable method.
Prismatic Pickaxe Stats
The Prismatic Pickaxe costs a massive $2,000,000, making it the most expensive pickaxe in the game right now. Its stats easily justify the price.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Mining Power | 650 |
| Mining Speed | +10% |
| Luck Boost | +72% |
| Rune Slots | 4 |
With four rune slots, the Prismatic Pickaxe offers incredible flexibility. You can stack luck, mining speed, or mining power runes depending on your playstyle. When combined with potions, totems, and Miner Shard runes, it becomes a top-tier tool for farming rare ores.
The Prismatic Pickaxe outperforms nearly every other option in terms of raw mining efficiency and luck. It’s especially effective when paired with mining-focused races, speed boosts, and proper rune setups.
The main drawback is the cost. Two million gold is a lot, but you can earn money faster by:
- Completing high-level quests
- Selling essences, weapons, and armor
- AFK farming profitable areas
If you’re still short on gold or want a smoother progression path, it’s a good idea to follow a structured pickaxe progression before committing to the Prismatic Pickaxe.
The Prismatic Pickaxe is one of the strongest mining tools in The Forge, but it’s clearly designed for dedicated players. Between the level requirement, quest progression, iceberg mining, and steep price, unlocking it feels like a true late-game achievement.
If you’re serious about mining and want the best possible setup, the grind is absolutely worth it.
