Captain Rowan doesn’t hand out favors-only challenges. This Forge quest throws you into relentless combat trials where quick thinking and sharper steel decide your fate. Every victory brings you closer to uncovering the Captain’s hidden purpose and the truth behind The Forge itself.
So, if you’re a beginner and yet to find this challenging NPC, check this guide as we will walk you through everything you need to know.
Where to Find Captain Rowan in The Forge
Captain Rowan appears inside The Forge’s main chamber after players clear the initial enemy waves during the Captain Rowan Quest. Check the elevated platform near the central anvil, where he spawns flanked by elite guards once the forge flames intensify. Fast travel to the Forge waypoint if needed, then head straight through the molten corridors to reach him quickly for the combat handover.
Captain Rowan is located on the second island, the Forgotten Kingdom, and to reach there, you must get the portal tool by completing Sensei Moro’s quests first. Use the portal tool to teleport to the Forgotten Kingdom. Now, if you’re arriving here for the first time, a small tutorial will pop up indicating towards Sensei Moro.
Interacting with him will bring out a sparkle of light that takes you to Captain Rowan on top of the hill. Alternatively, you can ignore all these steps of climbing the hill every time and instead visit the cannon beside the spawn point and press the ‘E‘ key. This cannon shoots you straight to the hilltop, which is a nice shortcut that saves time.
Here, you can check the tent at the center to find Captain Rowan in a knight’s armor and an eyepatch. Simply press the ‘E‘ key to interact with him, and he will give you certain quests to complete.

How to Complete The Forge Captain Rowan Quests
Follow these steps to finish the Forge Captain Rowan quests. Speak to Captain Rowan at the forge entrance to pick up each task, which usually involves gathering specific ores or defeating forge monsters. Head into the forge area, target the required enemies or collect nodes while dodging lava flows and patrols. Return to Rowan with the items or proof of kills to claim rewards and advance. Repeat for all five quests until the chain wraps up with a final boss fight against a molten guardian.
One important thing to note is that you must visit Captain Rowan in The Forge every time you need a new quest from him. The couple of quests in the beginning are quite easy and manageable, including killing a few Skeleton Rogues and Axe Skeletons. Using any weapon with more than 30 damage is preferable.
Soon, Rowan begins asking for tougher tasks and killing stronger enemies. This includes the Deathaxe Skeleton, the Elite Rogue Skeletons, and eventually the Elite Deathaxe Skeletons and the Reaper as well. As you progress, the number of enemies required to be defeated also increases.
The late-game quests can get so difficult that you are required to defeat large quantities of high-tier skeletons. The numbers can be as high as killing more than 40 Death Axe Skeletons. So, make sure that you upgrade your weapons and armor before venturing forth inside the ruined caves.

Captain Rowan location Forgotten Kingdom
Captain Rowan is located in the Forgotten Kingdom (World 2) of The Forge, specifically at the guarded camp on the hilltop right in front of the Ruined Cave.
How to Reach Him
To access the Forgotten Kingdom, first complete Sensei Moro’s quests in Stonewake’s Cross (World 1) to unlock the Portal Tool, then teleport there.
From spawn, follow the main path up the hill, enter the gate near the cave entrance, and head left to the central tent where he stands-alternatively, use the nearby cannon for a quick launch to the camp.
Why Visit His Location
Interact with Captain Rowan under the tent to start his combat questline, which offers strong XP, cash, and rewards like Race Rerolls through escalating skeleton-killing missions.
How to unlock the Portal Tool to reach Forgotten Kingdom
Unlocking the Portal Tool requires progressing through early quests in The Forge’s Stonewake’s Cross (World 1) and reaching level 10 to access the Forgotten Kingdom.
Quest Prerequisites
Complete Sensei Moro’s questline near the spawn area, which involves tasks like mining 35 ores, forging 3 items, and defeating 3 zombies.
After finishing, head to the Wizard in a house on the left path before the cave entrance (end of Stonewake’s Cross).
Receiving the Tool
Speak to the Wizard once at level 10; he rewards the Portal Tool as a progression item for fast travel.
Level 10 is mandatory-grind ores, forge gear, and claim Index rewards if needed.
Using It for Forgotten Kingdom
Equip the Portal Tool from your hotbar, place it on green-highlighted flat ground, walk in, press E to open the island menu, select Forgotten Kingdom, and teleport.
