New game started weird

I've been away from the game for several months and I've missed that last couple of updates. I just started a new game and off the bat I had the Eikthyr ability. Does this mean I can't summon it? So far I've made it into the Black Forest and gotten a map maker for the Elder but I never got one for Eikthyr. I need the pickaxe. What do I do?

Mistland biome will only properly generate in unexplored areas, so can work on old worlds.

Thank goodness. The vast majority of the current world is unexplored and I would have hated to waste all that time and have to start again. I also wish I knew that before I started again but I can live with that.

new game meaning what?
your old viking in a new world still has all his powers, but he can't change them at the new world's stones until he hangs the heads.

a new viking in a new world should not have any powers.

the location of the first boss is found AT the standing stones, its a small location stone right there.

You can summon bosses multiple times. However, you should start the game with Eikthyr vegvisir right where you enter the game.
