Ancient pickaxe of the main guardian: where to find it?

Wondering how to get Core Keeper’s Oldest Marinade? We have protected you.

Given that Core Keeper is a mining-focused sandbox game, it’s no surprise that Ancient Pickaxe, currently the best and rarest of its kind, is currently in high demand in the game. Here’s a brief description of how to get ancient grass in Core Keeper.

Given the rare nature of the item, buying old plants is a bit of a hassle.

Players up to patch 0.3.1 seem to have been able to find an ancient spike in a skull grave in the Azos Desert.

Now it seems that the only way to reach the ancient peak is to shoot it after defeating the Azeo in the Sky Titanium in the Azos Desert mentioned above.

One of the three titans in the game, Azeos the Sky Titan is the boss that players will eventually encounter throughout the story.

Players can use Sky Titan Scanner Azeos to determine its location on a map. You will know you are in the right place because the arena is fully lit, there are lots of bird droppings and feathers on the floor and sometimes a giant bird’s shadow can be seen.

To start or regrow Azeos, players must place a large shiny object anywhere in the arena. It can take up to 10 minutes for his shadow to reappear before you reappear. The item can be crafted by talking to a Spirit Trader, who appears when an Ancient Hologram Branch is placed on the ground.

When you defeat Azeos, you are guaranteed to drop the Titanium Chest and Azeo Spirit, but you only have a 4.12% chance to drop the Ancient Spike.

Overall, the ancient pickaxe is well worth the effort to earn it, as the epic tool increases both your mining and your loss.
