Can you clear The Applecore the first time through in God of War Ragnarök?

Early in your adventure in God of War Ragnarök, you will explore Svartalfheim. There are various regions in this realm, many of which you must travel through on Kratos and Atreus' journey. One of these is the Applecore mines. As you progress through it, you may wonder if you can clear The Applecore on your first attempt in God of War Ragnarök.

Can you complete The Applecore on your first try in God of War Ragnarök?

The short is no; you cannot 100 percent The Applecore on your first attempt in God of War Ragnarök. This area in Svartalfheim is vast, and while you can get through, you will miss certain things as you do not have all the tools necessary to complete it upon entering it for the first time.

We came across many areas we couldn't progress past, most likely due to missing an item or ability. So don't worry too much about getting everything in these mines on your first try. You will need to return at some point after you have collected more equipment and abilities to uncover all the secrets within these mines.
