I'm currently doing a none boss run, see what i can do without ever beating a single boss. Currently getting some cash for Ymir flesh so i can make my full set of Wolf armor, cape, shield, frostnir and draugr fang and all upgrades.

Not even the first in order to mine? Can't imagine you'd get far without copper.

-Bronze phase
Trolls are excellent copper breakers :)
Tin can be found in those barrels around abandoned towers
Now we have bronze for a pickaxe to get a full set of upgraded bronze equipment to at least survive the mountains somewhat.

-Iron phase
Stagbreaker can be used to find iron for an iron pickaxe and crafting upgrades.

-Silver phase
Stagbreaker and iron pickaxe for silver.

No antler pickaxe needed, no swamp key needed, no wishbone needed.
