The Lost Guitar quest is one of the first side quests you can complete in The Forge. It starts in Stonewake’s Cross, where you meet a sad Bard who sits beside a small campfire. He tells you that he lost his guitar somewhere inside the nearby cave. The quest looks simple, yet the guitar’s location is hidden behind a fake wall that many players miss on their first attempt. This Roblox guide explains what the quest is, where the guitar is, and how you can finish it for important early-game rewards.

What is the Lost Guitar quest in The Forge?

The Lost Guitar quest in Roblox begins in Stonewake’s Cross, which is the starting area of The Forge. You meet Bard at a campfire near the potions stall. He asks you to find his missing guitar. You accept the quest and gain access to a short adventure inside the main cave. The quest rewards include experience, cash, and the Unknown Key. You can later use this key to open a gate in the Inner Cave and reach the Arcane Pickaxe vendor.

How to start the Lost Guitar quest in Stonewake’s Cross

You can start the quest a few steps after spawning. Walk forward into Stonewake’s Cross and head toward the potions stall on the right side of the area. Look for a campfire beside the stall. Bard sits against a rock next to it. Talk to him and accept the quest. You must do this before you try to collect the guitar. The game will not register the item unless the quest is active.

Where is the guitar in The Forge? Exact location explained

The guitar is inside a hidden room in Stonewake’s Cross. The room sits behind a patch of leaves that hides a drop-down opening. 

You find this wall on the left side of the main cave, near Nord and Umut the Brave. 

Many players walk past it because it looks like part of the cave’s regular décor. The guitar sits on a small rocky ledge next to a skeleton.

You will see a skeleton on the ground. The guitar rests on the rocks to the right of it. Pick it up and climb back up using the ladder inside the cavern.
 

How to return the guitar and complete Bard’s quest

Leave the secret room, walk back through the cave, and return to Stonewake’s Cross. Go to the same campfire where you first met Bard. Talk to him to hand over the guitar. The quest ends as soon as you give it back.

Lost Guitar quest rewards in The Forge

Bard gives you experience, cash, and the Unknown Key. You can use this key to unlock a gated area deeper inside the Inner Cave. Behind the gate, you meet the vendor who sells the Arcane Pickaxe. This tool is one of the stronger early-game upgrades in The Forge, so the Lost Guitar quest is an important step toward faster mining and better progression.
