The For The King Forgotten Cellar is an early primary campaign objective with this guide detailing where to find it quickly and how to beat the enemy within. This cellar is a significant difficulty jump that can ruin your adventure if not approached carefully (campaign spoilers below).

Find The Forgotten Cellar
The quest to find the Forgotten Cellar is part of The Shattered Key challenge after clearing the Glittering Mines and visiting Parid. After arriving at Parid players are informed of 3 locations to obtain a key and while 2 of these are revealed in the overworld the Forgotten Cellar is not.
In order to find the Forgotten Cellar:
- Pay careful attention to the biome that is included in the quest summary at the top right. This will tell players where to look and will be either the Golden Plains, Rogue Isles or the Burning Forest. The top of the screen displays your current biome and players can left click on the quest objective to move their camera to the appropriate biome.
- As the Forgotten Cellar is hidden players need to visit every hex in their quest specific biome. The screenshot below shows the difference between unrevealed world hexes (hexes on the left) and revealed world hexes (hexes on the right). The strong yellow border and question mark within the hex shows that it has not been explored.
Exploring hexes is a matter of moving adjacent to or directly on the hex. There are some items in the game that can increase this distance referred to as Find Distance. The most effective strategy involves splitting your team (but staying close to each other) to maximise your exploration range. - Once players are close enough to the Forgotten Cellar they will recieve an in game pop up and be able to enter the cellar like any other dungeon.
- Unlike normal dungeons that reward lore the cellar only has enough room for a single character so choose wisely.

Beat The Forgotten Cellar
Beating the Forgotten Cellar is a difficult hurdle to overcome and improving your odds will be based on choosing the best class and a deep understanding of game mechanics.
Within the Forgotten Cellar is a deadly Acid Jelly with a large health pool (scales based on difficulty level) and is immune to bleed, shock and stun. The larger threat though is the acid it inflicts that will destroy your weapon or a piece of armour which makes speed a priority.
My recommended tips for the Forgotten Cellar are:
- Choose your strongest fighter to take on the 1v1 challenge. This should be a hero that has the highest available Focus Points and highest damage weapon currently to minimise the fight duration.
- Use items and Focus early in the fight to minimise the risk of acid attacks destroying your equipment.
- Before entering the Forgotten Cellar ensure that you heal your selected character and equip them with your best available equipment/consumables.
