Mortal to Immortal: How to Reclaim and Defend the Smithy

To reclaim the Smithy facility in Mortal to Immortal, you must clear the occupying security guards by isolating patrolling units, prioritizing ranged targets, and interacting with the forge console once the area is secure.

Tactical Steps to Reclaim the Smithy

Restoring your forge requires active combat engagement rather than passive progression. Follow this sequence to clear the security forces and regain control of your workspace:

1. Observe Guard Patrols: Study movement routes to pull guards individually instead of alerting the entire security force at once.
2. Funnel Enemies into Chokepoints: Force combat into narrow corridors where guards cannot surround your character.
3. Target Ranged Enemies First: Eliminate guards equipped with long-range weapons immediately to prevent them from interrupting your channeled cultivation abilities.
4. Isolate Grouped Targets: Apply crowd-control skills to prevent guards from clustering, then defeat isolated units with burst damage.
5. Clear the Forge Interface: Interact with the forge console immediately after defeating the guards to remove the occupation status.

Post-Clear Crafting and Debuff Management

Inspect the facility before starting any resource refinement after clearing the security forces. The occupation can leave behind negative status effects that lower your production output.

• Check for Sabotage Debuffs: Review your status bar for lingering sabotage debuffs applied by the guards. These temporarily reduce crafting yield and refining efficiency.
• Delay Major Projects: Wait for all negative status effects to expire completely before refining high-value raw materials.
• Verify Station Functionality: Check which refining tools remain operational and begin refining materials to replace gear lost during the conflict.

Long-Term Smithy Defense

Preventing future occupations keeps your crafting queues running smoothly without unexpected downtime.

• Upgrade Structural Integrity: Invest facility resources into structural upgrades to strengthen the Smithy against hostiles.
• Assign Defensive Disciples: Station disciples on patrol around the workspace to handle minor skirmishes automatically.
• Perform Daily Security Checks: Inspect the security status of your facilities during your daily login. Clear hostile activity near the perimeter before guards establish a full occupation.
