Jotunheim & Soul Forge
Jotunheim is the late-game hub tower where you upgrade Soul Forge, craft Excalibur, unlock Weapon Ascension, and obtain Sky Keys for Sky Spire runs.
Tower Layout
Jotunheim tower has multiple levels with key NPCs and stations. Level 1 houses the Soul Forge NPC and the Ascension NPC (added in the June 2026 update). Level 3 contains the Excalibur craft station.
Jotunheim guardians drop Soul Stones for Soul Forge upgrades and Sky Keys for Sky Spire floor attempts. The four elemental bosses (Flame, Frost, Thunder, and others) rotate as guaranteed Sky Key sources.
Soul Forge Upgrades
Soul Forge is the primary weapon enhancement system before Ascension. Each level increases your weapon's base power. Soul Forge 12 is the gate for unlocking Weapon Ascension.
Soul Stones drop from Jotunheim guardians and Sky Spire clears. The Soul Forge Boost game pass doubles success chance but free-to-play players can still reach level 12 with consistent farming.
Tips
- Focus Soul Forge investment on one main carry weapon.
- Farm Soul Stones alongside Holy Grails in Sky Spire for efficient sessions.
- Do not spread resources across multiple weapons before reaching Soul Forge 12.
Holy Ore vs Holy Grail
Holy Ore is dropped by Jotunheim guardians and used in various forge recipes. Holy Grail is a separate material that drops from Sky Spire floors 41+ and is required for Excalibur (100 total) and Weapon Ascension Breakthrough rolls.
Keep these materials separate in your inventory planning — spending Holy Grails on Breakthrough before crafting Excalibur is a common and costly mistake.
