This is a New World Empyrean Forge Guide that covers the mechanics, bosses, skips and gatherables of this dungeon in-depth. The Empyrean Forge Expedition is a new dungeon in the New World Fellowship & Fire update and comes with some serious bosses.

The dungeon also introduces Human enemy types and therefore requires Human Bane and Human Ward gear, along with things like Flame attunement. This guide will not only teach you how to solve puzzles and deal with bosses, but also how to ideally gear for this dungeon and where to get cheap gear for it. But most importantly it will answer how to fight Commander Marius! 00:00 - What's in this guide? 00:27 - Start of the run 01:26 - Gatherable 1 01:47 - Executioner Freyr (Forge Gate) 02:26 - Puzzle Lock 1 03:44 - Ser Eld (Hidden Chamber) 05:20 - Puzzle Lock 2 05:40 - Gatherable 2 05:50 - Puzzle 06:11 - The Heel Room 1 06:25 - Gatherable 3 07:03 - The Heel Room 2: Foundry 07:32 - Gatherable 4 07:56 - The Heel Final Fight 08:30 - Gatherable 5 08:45 - Gatherable 6 08:56 - Ifrit Boss Fight 12:22 - Reliquary (remember gear swapping) 12:52 - Ser Bishop 13:14 - Gatherable 7 13:46 - Lady Bridget & Ser Newlon 14:10 - Gatherable 8 14:26 - Ser Skarin 15:38 - Ser Ducas 17:23 - Gatherable 9 & 10 17:40 - FINAL BOSS: Commander Marius (Swap gear!) 18:13 - Attack 1: Whirlwind 18:55 - Attack 2: Execute 19:18 - Attack 3: Volcanoes 20:01 - Attack 4: The Floor Is Lava 20:40 - Attack 5: Overhead Swing (Backswing, rare) 21:10 - Attack 6: Stacking Debuff & Explosion 21:53 - 7.
