This reference describes equipment and progression choices recorded in the retrieved Core Keeper wiki passage: tools, weapons, armor, crafting stations, a shield, and Titan soul powers. It covers stated effects and conditions, such as the Wooden Shield’s damage blocking while Space is held, the workbench chain, and the first three bosses’ role in powering up the Core. The passage also identifies some choices as optional or difficult to obtain. It does not provide a complete item catalog or comparative rankings. Steam metadata identifies the released PC game but does not establish mechanics. Treat the details as limited to the cited passage, not as current balance or an optimization guide.
If examining named defensive and ranged options, read the shield and bow records for their stated effects and the limits of what the passage specifies.

The passage says each Titan must be summoned before its first fight, using a crafted consumable that requires smelted ore unique to that biome. It also says access to the outer biomes is simultaneous and suggests an order based on workbench upgrades, mining damage, and difficulty scaling.
The source describes the abilities as triggering at random when the player deals damage to a creature, including NPCs. It separately says their sigils can be toggled on or off in the Souls tab.
