After Eikthyr: the Antler Pickaxe and your next trip

Separate the trophy reward from the crafting material, then connect the first boss to Copper and Tin.

The short answer

Collect the rewards, use Hard Antler for the Antler Pickaxe, and take the Eikthyr Trophy back to the starting stones. These are separate uses described by the inspected guides. [1][2]

1 / 3

Check the pickaxe recipe

GamesRadar lists the Antler Pickaxe recipe as one Hard Antler and ten Wood at a level-one Workbench. This is a published recipe report, not a locally verified recipe extraction. [1]

2 / 3

Return the trophy

Windows Central says to hang Eikthyr’s trophy on its hook at the starting sacrificial stones to unlock his power, which reduces stamina use for running and jumping. [2]

3 / 3

Prepare your next trip

Editorial recommendation

Before planning a mining trip, check the pickaxe recipe in your game. Then use our Copper and Tin guide to plan the next stage; the boss trophy and Hard Antler have different jobs. [1]

Recorded game-file value

Wood is the verified English item name for internal asset Wood, using localization key $item_wood. [3]
