What is the Samurai Chestplate in The Forge?
The Samurai Chestplate is a medium-tier armor piece in The Forge Roblox that gives your character a cool samurai-style appearance. When combined with the Samurai Helmet and Leggings, it forms a complete armor set that’s both functional and visually impressive.
This chestplate increases your health by 12.75%, making it a solid choice for mid-game players who need good protection without sacrificing too much mobility. It sells for $850 if you decide to trade it in later.
As a medium armor piece, the Samurai Chestplate strikes a balance between the light armor’s speed and the heavy armor’s protection. It’s perfect for players who want to explore the Forgotten Kingdom and take on tougher enemies without feeling too slow or vulnerable.
How to Unlock the Forgotten Kingdom?
Before you can forge the Samurai Chestplate, you need to unlock the Forgotten Kingdom. Here’s how to do it:
- Reach Level 10: The first requirement is to get your character to level 10. You can level up by mining ores, completing quests, and defeating enemies.
- Complete Sensei Moro’s Quests: Sensei Moro is the NPC who gives you tutorial quests near the spawn area. You need to complete all of his quests to progress in the game. These quests teach you the basics of mining, forging, and enhancing equipment.
- Get the Portal Tool: Once you’ve completed all of Sensei Moro’s quests, visit the Wizard at the end of the island. The Wizard is in a house on the left road before entering the cave. He’ll give you the Portal Tool, which lets you travel between islands.
- Use the Portal Tool: To use the Portal Tool, select it from your hotbar and place it on valid terrain (it will glow green when you can place it). Walk toward the portal and press E to open the island menu, then select the Forgotten Kingdom and click “Teleport.”
Remember, you must be level 10 before the Forgotten Kingdom appears in your destination list. If you’re having trouble leveling up, focus on completing quests and mining valuable ores to sell for money.

What Are the Best Recipes for the Samurai Chestplate?
There are three main recipes for forging the Samurai Chestplate, each suited for different stages of the game:
Early Game Samurai Chestplate Recipe
This recipe is perfect for players who have just reached the Forgotten Kingdom:
- 5 Gold
- 5 Titanium
- 5 Platinum
- 6 Tin
- Multiplier: 0.75x
You can find these ores in the Descent’s Beginning area by mining Basalt Rocks. This recipe gives you a basic version of the Samurai Chestplate with standard stats.
Mid Game Samurai Chestplate Recipe
Once you’ve progressed further and can access tougher areas, try this recipe:
- 5 Uranium
- 5 Mythril
- 5 Eye Ore
- 6 Obsidian
- Multiplier: 3.17x
The ores for this recipe are found in Basalt Cores and Basalt Veins. This version of the Samurai Chestplate has better stats and includes useful traits like Vitality.
Late Game Samurai Chestplate Recipe
For end-game players who want the best possible Samurai Chestplate:
- 7 Darkryte
- 7 Demonite
- 7 Eye Ore
- Multiplier: 5.27x
These rare ores are found in Volcanic Rocks in the Volcanic Depths area. This recipe gives you the highest stats and the best traits, though it’s mostly for cosmetic purposes at this stage since heavy armor becomes more viable for late-game content.
Which Recipe Should You Use?
- Choose the Early Game recipe if you’re new to the Forgotten Kingdom
- Go for the Mid Game recipe when you have access to Basalt Veins
- Try the Late Game recipe if you want the best possible version for collection purposes
Remember that the Samurai Chestplate is primarily an early to mid-game armor piece. Even the best recipe won’t outperform heavy chestplates in late-game areas like the Volcanic Depths.
How to Successfully Forge the Samurai Chestplate?
Once you have your ores, it’s time to forge the Samurai Chestplate. Follow these steps for the best chance of success:
- Go to the Forge: In the Forgotten Kingdom, head to the forging area. It’s usually located near the center of the village.
- Add Your Ores: Place your ores in the crucible (the large pot). For the Samurai Chestplate, you need exactly 21 ores total for the best chance of success. Using more or less than 21 ores will reduce your chances.
- Play the Forging Minigame: This is the most important part. The minigame has four stages:
- Bellows: Pump the bellows quickly to heat the metal. Keep the temperature in the optimal range.
- Pouring: Pour the molten metal slowly into the mold. Try to keep the white line inside the yellow bar.
- Hammering: Hammer the block when the circles glow. Perfect hits will give you better stats.
- Quenching: Dip the hot metal in water to finish the process.
- Get Your Result: If you succeed, you’ll get a Samurai Chestplate. If you fail, you’ll get a regular Medium Chestplate instead.
Tips for Successful Forging
- Practice the minigame with cheaper ores first
- Use rarer materials to increase your success rate
- Add one material in higher quantity than others to get specific trait buffs
- Keep extra ores in stock since you might need multiple attempts
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the wrong number of ores (stick to 21 for best results)
- Rushing through the minigame without paying attention to timing
- Trying to forge the Samurai Chestplate in Stonewake’s Cross (it won’t work)
- Using low-quality ores when better ones are available
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Samurai Chestplate worth it in The Forge?
The Samurai Chestplate is definitely worth it for early to mid-game players. It provides a solid 12.75% health boost and looks great as part of the full Samurai armor set. However, it’s not suitable for late-game areas like the Volcanic Depths, where heavy armor is necessary for survival. Think of the Samurai Chestplate as a stepping stone in your armor progression – it’s great for when you first reach the Forgotten Kingdom, but you’ll want to upgrade to heavier armor later on.
What if you add more than 21 ores when forging?
Adding more or less than 21 ores will reduce your chances of getting a Samurai Chestplate. The game is designed to work best with exactly 21 ores for medium armor pieces. If you use fewer ores, you’re more likely to get light armor, and if you use more, you’re more likely to get heavy armor. Stick to 21 ores for the best chance at the Samurai Chestplate, and remember to use high-quality ores to increase your success rate even further.
Can you craft the Samurai Chestplate in Stonewake’s Cross?
No, you cannot craft the Samurai Chestplate in Stonewake’s Cross. The Samurai Chestplate can only be forged in the Forgotten Kingdom, which you unlock after reaching level 10 and completing Sensei Moro’s quests. Stonewake’s Cross doesn’t have the advanced forge needed for medium armor pieces like the Samurai Chestplate. You must travel to the Forgotten Kingdom using the Portal Tool to forge this specific armor piece.
How long does it take to get the Samurai Chestplate?
The time it takes to get a Samurai Chestplate varies depending on your playstyle and experience. On average, it takes about 2-4 hours to reach level 10 and unlock the Forgotten Kingdom. Gathering the necessary ores can take another 1-2 hours, depending on your luck and mining efficiency. The forging process itself is quick, but you might need multiple attempts since there’s only a 50% chance of success each time. In total, expect to spend 4-8 hours from starting the game to successfully forging your first Samurai Chestplate.
What’s the best way to increase forging success rate?
The best way to increase your forging success rate is to use high-quality ores and practice the minigame. Rarer ores like Eye Ore, Demonite, and Darkryte have higher multipliers that improve your chances of getting the desired item. Additionally, mastering the timing in the forging minigame – especially the hammering phase – can significantly improve your results. Perfect hits during the hammering phase give better stats and increase the likelihood of getting special variants like the Samurai Chestplate. Finally, make sure you’re using exactly 21 ores, as this is the optimal number for medium armor pieces.
Conclusion
Forging a Samurai Chestplate in The Forge Roblox is a rewarding milestone in your journey through the game. By following this guide, you now know how to unlock the Forgotten Kingdom, where to find the necessary ores, which recipes to use, and how to master the forging minigame.
Remember that the Samurai Chestplate is primarily an early to mid-game armor piece. While it looks great and provides decent protection, you’ll eventually want to upgrade to heavier armor for late-game content. But for now, enjoy your new Samurai Chestplate and the stylish samurai look it gives your character!
