I just finished a nice place in the Meadows and have not killed Eikthyr yet. I did find the black forest though. So I was thinking I can go in get copper and tin, find some cores, make some better weapons and then go after Eikthyr. I am playing by myself. I can kill the first boss, I have done it before. I was just wondering if this plan of mine will work ?? Thanks for all the comments people.

Is there a way to create a pickaxe prior to killing Eikthyr that I'm not aware of?
