The Adamantine Longsword is a Longsword forged with a +1 weapon enchantment. This weapon is not found anywhere in the world and can only be crafted at the Adamantine Forge under the Grymforge.

Steps to Get Adamantine Longsword in BG3
Much like every other Adamantine weapon, the Adamantine Longsword has to be crafted at the Adamantine Forge by using Mithral ores and a Longsword Mould. Acquire these two items and head to the forge to craft the Rare weapon. Take note that there are only two Mithral ores in the game, so you have very limited choice in terms of Adamantium equipment you choose to craft.
Get the Longsword Mould
Finding the Longsword Mould can be a little tricky. To get this mould, spawn in at the Grymforge waypoint in the Underdark and then head up the staircase on your right. Stick to the left and go up the second set of stairs. There you will see a golden altar with a pit ahead of it. Parkour across the gaps, past the cliff till you reach a broken catwalk. Ahead of the catwalk is a hanging bridge. Jump on it to find the Longsword Mould.
Get the Mithral Ores
You can Mihtral ores from Mithral veins. There are only two such ores in the game and both can be found in the Underdark. The first Mithral Vein is southeast of the Ancient Forge waypoint in Grymforge down a flight of stairs. This path will diverge to the left towards broken stairs. Follow the path and then parkour past the gaps to reach the first Mithral Vein.
As or the second Mithral Vein, head right from the Ancient Forge waypoint and follow the path along the edge of the cliff. Parkour past the gaps and you will reach the second Mithral Vein. Use bludgeoning weapons to inflict damage on the Mithral Veins and mine the ores.
What is the Use of Adamantine Longsword?
The Adamantine Longsword allows you to deal damage to enemies resistant to slash damage. This list of enemies incudes Balthazar, Apostle of Myrkul, Gilded Imp, Greaseball, Grym and many more. The weapon will let you deal with these enemies with ease.
