As players journey across the Forgotten Realms in Baldur’s Gate 3, they will need all the tools they can get to fight monsters and stave off the impending threat of the Netherbrain. As it happens, some of these tools are made using Mithral Ore, one of the game’s most important resources. 

In this guide, we’ll share how players can find and mine Mithral Ore to forge valuable weapons and gear.

Where to Find Mithral Ore

Players will find Mithral Ore in Grymforge in the Underdark. It is stored inside Mithral Veins and can be extracted if you follow the right steps.

To find Mithral Veins, go to the Ancient Forge waypoint in Grymforge and head southeast down a flight of stairs towards the actual forge. As you go down, you’ll find more broken stairs to the left. When you head towards them, a few enemies will ambush you. Defeat them and parkour past some lava rocks to reach the first Mithral Vein. 

To locate the second Mithral Vein, head right from the Ancient Forge waypoint and follow the path along the edge of the cliff. You will then come across another lava route that you must parkour through to reach your destination.

Be careful while navigating the Mithral Veins as they are guarded by Magma Mephits, who wait in the shadows to ambush. These enemies are fairly easy to defeat, but they self-detonate after dropping to low HP. Maintain your distance and ideally use ranged attacks to deal with them. Also, the lava paths are treacherous, and a misclick could mean death.

How to Mine Mithral Ore

After you have found Mithral Veins, the next step is to extract the Mithral Ore. The Veins are pretty tough to break, so you must deal high damage. Switch to a powerful character in your party and use a bludgeoning weapon on the Mithral Vein.
