Core Keeper Forlorn Metropolis Biome Guide

In this Core Keeper Molten Quarry Biome Guide, we will cover all there is to know concerning the Molten Quarry sub-biome: location, loot, enemies, and secret areas.

Where is the Molten Quarry Biome in Core Keeper?

The Molten Quarry Biome is a sub-biome located in The Desert of Beginnings within Core Keeper. You have to powered up the Core by defeating Glurch, Ghorm, and the Hive Mother to access it.

As the name suggests, extents of the Molten Quarry are filled to the brim with lava and mining equipment. Themed distinctly on mining, this biome is great for Metal Bars if you're able to survive through its dangers.

Before venturing into the Molten Quarry, bring many bridges with you since this biome has grates that hurt to step on. The many
enemies are going to add to this risk which you will encounter.

Enemies in the Molten Quarry Biome

The Molten Quarry is home to the following enemies:

Lava Slime: These slimes deal fire damage and spit out slowing, flaming slime on the ground that can ignite you.
Lava Butterflies: Team members shoot projectiles of fire from a distance. To be more precise, the lava butterfly, although having the appearance of an insect, cannot be caught with the Bug Net.
The Smelter: It looks like this is where ore was smelted into bars. The scavenging chest of this location contains items likely hardened smelt of metal bars of higher tiers, such as Octarine, Scarlet, or Galaxite.
