The Yeti Heart is a mythical ore that drops from Yeti enemies in The Forge. It’s not just a quest item – this heart is a game-changer for weapon forging with its impressive 7.7x multiplier and incredibly valuable passive traits that can transform your combat effectiveness. The description reads: “Warm. Heavy. Whatever owned this didn’t go down quietly,” which perfectly captures the challenge involved in obtaining it.
Before you set out to hunt Yetis, you need to meet several important requirements. Trust me, trying to skip these steps will only waste your time and leave you frustrated.
Before heading to Peak Cave, I strongly recommend:

Finding Yetis isn’t difficult once you know the exact path. Here’s my tried-and-tested route that I use every farming session.
Use your Portal Tool to teleport to Island 3, also known as Frostspire Expanse. If you haven’t unlocked this island yet, you’ll need to be level 70 and have completed the previous island requirements.
Once you arrive at Frostspire Expanse, look for the Ice Man NPC. He’s positioned near a cannon that serves as your transportation to Peak Cave. You can’t miss him – he’s standing right behind the cannon.
Interact with the cannon behind the Ice Man NPC. This will launch you up to the Peak Cave entrance, saving you from a long, dangerous climb.
As soon as you enter Peak Cave, immediately turn left. This is crucial – turning right or going straight will take you to different areas without Yeti spawns.
Follow the left passage all the way through. Keep going until you encounter two large chunks of Large Ice Crystals blocking your path. Don’t worry – you can still get through.
Behind those Large Ice Crystals, you’ll discover the Yeti spawn location. This is where multiple Yetis can spawn simultaneously, making it perfect for farming.
Pro Tip: If you don’t see any Yetis immediately, don’t leave! Kill the other enemies in the area (like smaller frost creatures), and Yetis will spawn within 60-90 seconds. The spawn system prioritizes variety, so clearing other mobs forces Yeti spawns.
Let me clear up the massive confusion about Yeti Heart drop rates that’s been circulating in the community.
Actual Drop Rate: 1 in 10 (approximately 10% chance per kill)
The game’s item description shows “1 in 44,444,” which has caused endless confusion among players. Through extensive farming and community data collection across thousands of kills, we’ve confirmed the actual drop rate is roughly 1 in 10. This means you should expect to get a Yeti Heart within 10-15 kills on average.
For perspective, here’s how Yeti Heart compares to other Cult Quest hearts:
In my personal experience farming over 100 Yeti Hearts for testing different weapon builds, I’ve found that the drop rate feels consistent. Some sessions I’ll get hearts back-to-back, other times it takes 15-20 kills. This is normal RNG behavior – don’t get discouraged if you have a streak of bad luck.
Yetis are among the toughest regular enemies in The Forge. With over 10,000 HP and devastating attacks, you need a solid strategy to farm them efficiently.
Health: 10,000+ HP Attack Range: Melee (punches and kicks) Aggro Range: 15-20 studs Attack Pattern: Aggressive, high damage output Special Abilities: Can stun players with heavy attacks
1. Maintain Distance Initially Don’t rush into melee range immediately. Let the Yeti come to you so you can observe its attack pattern.
2. Use Hit-and-Run Tactics Attack between the Yeti’s combo animations. After it throws 2-3 punches, it has a brief recovery window – this is when you strike.
3. Circle Strafing Move in a circular pattern around the Yeti while attacking. This makes you harder to hit and prevents you from getting cornered.
4. Watch for Heavy Attacks Yetis telegraph their strongest attacks with a brief wind-up animation. When you see this, dodge immediately.
5. Bring AOE Weapons While farming, you’ll often encounter multiple Yetis plus smaller enemies. Area-of-effect weapons let you damage multiple targets simultaneously, speeding up your farm.
Based on my extensive testing:
Your armor should prioritize:
Now that you know how to get it, let’s discuss why the Yeti Heart is so valuable and how to use it effectively.
The main reason most players farm Yeti Heart is to complete the Mjelatkhan NPC’s quest in the Raven Cave. This is the second of three Cult Quests required to unlock the Dragon Head Pickaxe.
Quest Progression:
Completing all three quests unlocks access to purchase the Dragon Head Pickaxe for 2,750,000 gold – currently the best mining tool in the game with 750 Mining Power, +10% Mining Speed, +78% Luck Boost, and 4 Rune Slots.
Beyond the quest, Yeti Heart is incredibly valuable for crafting weapons:
7.7x Multiplier: This is a substantial multiplier that significantly boosts your weapon’s base damage. When combined with other high-multiplier ores, you can create incredibly powerful weapons.
Passive Traits:
For players interested in min-maxing, here are some powerful combinations using Yeti Heart:
100% Crit Gauntlets Build:
Balanced DPS Weapon:
Short answer: Yes, absolutely!
You only need one Yeti Heart to complete the Cult Quest, but I recommend farming at least 3-5 if you’re planning to craft endgame weapons. Here’s why:
Since the Yeti Heart is part of the Cult Quest, let me give you the complete picture of what you’re working toward.
Before you can even submit the Yeti Heart, you need to:
Inside the Raven Cave, navigate to the glowing red orb crystal at the end, then head straight through the leaves on your right to find the secret Corruption’s Heart chamber with the three Cult NPCs.
Quest 1: Auron’s Quest (Rightmost NPC)
Quest 2: Mjelatkhan’s Quest (Center NPC)
Quest 3: Morveth’s Quest (Leftmost NPC)
After completing all three quests, you can purchase the Dragon Head Pickaxe for 2,750,000 gold. While expensive, this pickaxe is absolutely worth it for serious players due to its unmatched mining capabilities.
After farming hundreds of Yeti Hearts, I’ve developed several advanced strategies that dramatically improve farming efficiency.
If you’re specifically grinding for Yeti Hearts and want maximum efficiency:
This method bypasses the 60-90 second respawn timer and lets you check multiple servers quickly. I’ve gotten 3 hearts in under 30 minutes using this technique during peak hours when servers refresh quickly.
Best Times to Farm:
Worst Times to Farm:
Don’t just kill Yetis – make your time efficient:
Farming with a friend or group has several advantages:
You can find farming partners in The Forge’s official Discord server (discord.gg/theforgers) or community Discord servers dedicated to the game.
Let me address the most common problems players encounter when farming Yeti Hearts.

Let me give you a comparison so you understand where Yeti Heart fits in the progression.
| Heart Type | Source | Location | Drop Rate | Difficulty | Quest Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prismatic Heart | Prismarine Spider | Spider Cave | ~1 in 12 | Easy | First (Auron) |
| Yeti Heart | Yeti | Peak Cave | ~1 in 10 | Medium | Second (Mjelatkhan) |
| Golem Heart | Ice Golem Boss | Summit’s Edge | Rare | Hard | Third (Morveth) |
Prismatic Heart: This is intentionally the easiest because it’s your first cult quest. Most players already have it from completing earlier Raven quests.
Yeti Heart: The middle-ground heart. Reasonable drop rate but requires you to farm a tough regular enemy with 10,000+ HP. Perfect difficulty spike.
Golem Heart: The final challenge. Requires defeating a 15,000 HP boss with a 30-minute respawn timer. This is the grind that separates casual players from dedicated farmers.
The best place to find farming partners is in Discord servers:
Kill Yetis in the Peak Cave area of Frostspire Expanse (Island 3). Travel there using the cannon behind the Ice Man NPC, enter the cave, turn left, and navigate to the back where Large Ice Crystals block the path. Yetis spawn behind these crystals with approximately a 1 in 10 drop chance for Yeti Heart.
The Yeti Heart has two main uses: (1) It’s required to complete Mjelatkhan’s quest in the Raven Cult questline, which ultimately unlocks access to the Dragon Head Pickaxe, and (2) It’s an excellent forging material with a 7.7x multiplier and powerful passive traits (+30% Crit Chance, +10% Crit DMG, +10% Attack Speed).
Despite the in-game description showing 1/44,444, the actual drop rate is approximately 1 in 10 (10% chance per kill). This has been confirmed through extensive community testing and data collection across thousands of Yeti kills.
You only need one Yeti Heart to complete the Mjelatkhan quest. However, if you plan to craft high-end weapons using Yeti Heart’s excellent stats, consider farming 3-5 extra hearts for future crafting projects.
Yes! You can farm Yeti Hearts anytime after reaching level 70 and accessing Frostspire Expanse. I actually recommend farming the hearts before starting the quests so you can turn them in immediately when you’re ready.
Minimum level 70 is required to access Frostspire Expanse, but I recommend being level 80+ with good gear before seriously farming Yetis. They have over 10,000 HP and hit very hard, so rushing in under-leveled will result in frequent deaths and inefficient farming.
No, Yetis exclusively spawn in the Peak Cave area behind the Large Ice Crystals. You won’t find them anywhere else in The Forge, so make sure you’re in the correct location.
Yes, server hopping is a legitimate strategy and is commonly used by the community for farming rare drops. It’s not considered exploiting – you’re simply changing servers to find fresh spawns.
As of January 2026, The Forge doesn’t have a trading system for most items including Yeti Hearts. You must farm them yourself, which is why this guide exists!
With the 1 in 10 drop rate and assuming you can kill a Yeti every 2-3 minutes (including respawn time), you should get a Yeti Heart within 20-30 minutes on average. Server hopping can reduce this to 15-20 minutes.
The Yeti Heart represents a perfect mid-tier challenge in The Forge’s progression system. It’s not as easy as the Prismatic Heart but nowhere near as brutal as the Golem Heart grind. This balanced difficulty makes it accessible to most players who’ve reached Frostspire Expanse while still providing a sense of accomplishment when it finally drops.
My personal recommendations:
Remember, the Yeti Heart is just one step in the broader Raven Cult questline. While you’re in Frostspire Expanse, consider knocking out other objectives like exploring for new ores, completing additional quests, or hunting for rare drops. Efficiency is key in The Forge’s endgame grind.
The Dragon Head Pickaxe at the end of this questline is absolutely worth the effort. With its unmatched mining stats and rune slots, it will serve you well through all future updates and content additions. Plus, the sense of accomplishment from completing all three Cult Quests is incredibly satisfying.
Good luck with your Yeti farming, and may RNG bless you with quick drops! If you found this guide helpful, bookmark it for future reference and share it with your forge-mates who are struggling with their Yeti Heart hunt.
Happy forging, and remember: “Warm. Heavy. Whatever owned this didn’t go down quietly” – but with this guide, you’ll take down plenty of Yetis and claim their hearts for your own!
