<label>Previous</label> <label>Current</label><default>Forge Blueprints (mission)</default> <label>Next</label> </group> <label>Region</label> <label>Characters</label> </infobox> Forge Blueprints (mission) was a side mission of the Predux Episode 2: Luminance Fugue of the Wintermute story and the last mission in the Predux storyline. It has since been replaced after the V1.47 Wintermute Redux version of the game, but is still playable to those that download versions V1.15, V1.30, or V1.37 of Steam version of The Long Dark by using the Time Capsule.
This mission was cut from the game, with Forge blueprints being available from the start, and the Forge being used to craft a new Spear Head for the Bear Spear.
Tasks
- Go to the Forge in Forlorn Muskeg.
- Locate the blueprints near the Forge.

Trust
You will first need to raise Jeremiah's Trust to 75 and select the Survival Tools dialogue option. Jeremiah will comment that Mackenzie will need better tools to survive alone out on the Island, and will redirect him to an old Forge near Old Spence Family Homestead.
Travel to Forlorn Muskeg and travel to the Homestead. When you arrive, loot inside a Metal Container behind the Forge. Inside you will find a document Forge Blueprints, a Heavy Hammer, and 1 piece of Coal. Plenty of Coal is nearby to raise the Forge's temperature to 150°C. Then craft either the Improvised Knife or Improvised Hatchet and the mission will complete.
Differences from Redux Episode 2
Several plot points and locations have been replaced/altered since the Redux re-release of Episode 2:
Plot Points and Gameplay Changes
- This entire side mission was cut from the game, but using the Forge was required to craft a new Spear Head for the Bear Spear in Redux.
- The Improvised Knife and Improvised Hatchet blueprints are automatically unlocked before using the Forge to fix the Bear Spear.
- Hunting Knives and Hatchets are also far more plentiful throughout Episode 1 and 2 in the Redux, with Hunting Knives being entirely absent in both Predux Episodes (until acquiring Jeremiah's Knife).
