The Forge Tomo the Explorist Quest Guide – Tomo’s Lost Cat)
The Tomo the Explorist quest is one of the more expensive side objectives in The Forge, mainly because the cat you’re asked to retrieve is locked behind Goblin Cave progression. This The Forge Tomo the Explorist Quest Guide walks you through every requirement, how to unlock the cave, where to find the cat, and whether the quest is worth your time.
How to Start Tomo’s Lost Cat Quest
To begin, locate Tomo in the first world. Interact with him to receive the quest titled “Find Tomo’s Lost Cat.”
Nothing else happens yet—the real challenge begins once you’re ready to travel.
Requirements Before You Can Find the Cat
1. Must Be Level 10
You cannot progress this quest until you reach Level 10.
Once you reach that level, use a Portal to move to the next world.
2. Travel to World 2
The lost cat is not in the first world. You’ll need to use the portal and head to:
→ The Second World
This is where the Goblin Cave and the Goblin King reside.
Unlocking the Goblin Cave
The cat’s location is inside the Goblin Cave, which must be fully unlocked before you can access it.
Goblin Cave Total Cost: 85,000
This includes the cave door and all Goblin King quest progression.
Why This Matters
Tomo’s cat quest is actually an endgame-leaning side quest, because you cannot access the cave without completing the Goblin King’s quests first.
If you’re low on money, do not start this quest yet—it will drain your resources quickly.
Completing the Goblin King’s Quests
Before entering the cave, you must finish:
- All 5 Goblin King Quests
- Costs scale from 5,000 upwards until the total reaches 85,000
These quests are required to open the cave door.
Once the final quest is completed, the Goblin Cave entrance will automatically open.
Tomo’s Cat Location
After unlocking the Goblin Cave:
Step-by-Step Path
- Enter the Second World
- Move toward the Goblin Cave entrance
- Complete all Goblin King quests
- Enter the newly opened door
- Locate the cat inside this area
Once found, the cat will be added to your Inventory automatically.
Completing the Quest
Now return to Tomo in World 1.
Give him the cat to finish the quest.
Quest Rewards
- A large sum of money
- A solid amount of XP
For players progressing toward endgame, this is a rewarding one-time quest—just expensive to start.
Should You Do This Quest?
Recommended If:
- You have 85,000+ coins available
- You’re already planning to unlock Goblin Cave
- You want the XP and cash payout
Not Recommended If:
- You’re early-game
- You’re low on funds or saving for equipment
- You haven’t reached Level 10 yet
Tomo’s Cat quest is worthwhile, but only at the right time.
Once you unlock the second world and complete the Goblin King’s line, the quest becomes extremely straightforward. The only real barrier is cost. Approach it when your progression is stable and you can comfortably afford the 85,000 coin requirement.
