Captain Rowan is an important NPC and quest giver in The Forge who is not found in the starting area. To get to him, you need to unlock the second major region of the game. Below is a quick guide that explains exactly where Captain Rowan is and how to reach him without confusion.

Where to Find Captain Rowan in The Forge (Location)

1. Reach the Forgotten Kingdom

Captain Rowan is located in the Forgotten Kingdom, which is the second main world in The Forge. If you are still in the starting zone, you will not be able to reach him yet.

To unlock this area:

• Reach level 10
• Complete Sensei Moro’s quest

Once you finish the early storyline and meet the required level, you will unlock the portal or world travel system. This allows you to teleport between regions, including the Forgotten Kingdom.

2. Enter the Forgotten Kingdom

After unlocking world travel:

• Use the portal feature from the main hub
• Select Forgotten Kingdom as your destination

You will spawn in a new town-like area with stone buildings, NPCs, and branching paths This zone has stronger enemies than the starting area, so it is best to carry upgraded gear before moving forward.

3. Reach Captain Rowan

Once you’re ready to meet Captain Rowan, follow these steps:

• Exit the town by taking the right from the Enhancer shop.
• Go uphill, turn right, and turn right again. You will see the Ruined Cave entrance. Don’t go in just yet – look for the campfire and nearby, you’ll see Captain Rowan standing next to some crates and wooden barrels.
• You can also make this process faster by going to the Cannon near the main spawn area and launching yourself right in front of the campfire.

Captain Rowan in The Forge will give you various quests that require you to explore the cave and kill enemies. You will be able to level up fast if you take them up but note that the enemies get tougher as you go. Plus, the quests will also ask you to kill a higher number of foes.
