Despite its rarity, Scarlet Ore in Core Keeper is one of the most sought-after minerals in the game. It doesn’t serve much purpose in its raw form, but refining it into the Scarlet Bar means being able to craft many different end-game items. So continue reading to learn how to farm Scarlet Ore and all the many ways you can use it.

How to Get Scarlet Ore in Core Keeper

Introduced from the release of Core Keeper’s Early Access, the Scarlet Ore can only be found in the Azeos’ Wilderness and its sub-biome called the Mold Dungeon. Note that you can only access the Azeos’ Wilderness biome by beating the first three Core Keeper bosses: Glurch the Abominous Mass, Ghorm the Devourer, and The Hive Mother. Generally, the ore is in a Grass Wall, which you must destroy to collect the resource. Alternatively, you may receive three to six units of Scarlet Ore from a Mold Covered Chest in the Mold Dungeon.
