Where this comes from
Game files of 1.0.17: boss altars and the Vegvisirs whose targets are those altars, the bosses' drops and the recipes and build pieces that use them, keyed doors, the biome where each metal and pickaxe can first be made, spawn lists that wait for a boss's world key, raids that start or stop with it, and trader stock locked behind it.
