Hello everyone just wanted to share my saga rush strategy with everyone, hope this guide will help out.
A quick example of a run of mine in here which i killed fenrir within 5 days (i did die once in hideout even tho i still got pots i got owned by surprise bomb
)

quick notes for my run showed on image - i selected seer class and nothing to hide starter kit in that run so i can kill limnorn lizards pretty easy with my starter weapon but dont worry you can always craft a raider axe with ease (you just need some wolf fangs for it and some souls to upgrade blacksmith.) to kill them pretty quick and efficently. Also i almost never defend my village entire run beside the blood moon because i leveled up my npcs very quickly so they can hold the helthings without me. Beside that when i found bridge on day 4 im missing 30 cut stones and 12 irons i think but as you see it takes only 1 day to finish it up i searched for barricades with predicting where they can be at and mined every stone deposit i see along the way also some iron deposits but dont care that as much as stones. Last but not least i get the elite bounty quest (you still need to find underpassage to find a desert biome with hideout keep that in mind.) after i finished crafting my blue nornir axe so i can quickly find the way to desert biome and get some easy quest fragments.(forget to mention it that i got zero armor pieces equipped on me in whole run.)
Before the Run
-I recommend the nothing to hide starter kit for the starter but dont worry if you dont have that yet you can still do it with a villager set starter kit or even with no starter kit at all ( Also i reccomend to buy blue raider axe recipe from shop when its avaible )
-I recommend the seer class for this rush if you are an advanced player so you dont need to craft armours in order to survive tempature effects but it is completely doable with warrior (also easier to fight monsters since you dont take any damage while in your evade animation with warrior which is pretty usefull in fights with big creatures since their attack is slow paced.)
-Kill the jotunn in day 3-4 and 7-8
-Timing is important always keep an eye out for the nights and bloodmoon so try to find fast travel point before them and make sure to reach them in time, you can also rush for a new fast travelpoint before nights but its a risky play sometimes rng punish you for doing it so make sure you have the T ability(waypoint to base ability) if you try to find a new one. (you dont need to defend the base the day after the bloodmoon)
During the Run
So first of all you can use your weapon skill to break stones,ores,trees etc. use it in your advantage to craft early stone pickaxe and stone lumberaxe. this is all you need whole run you dont need to upgrade further anymore. Also kill every boar you see if you dont select the seer class so you can craft feral armour set to survive tempature effects in later stages.
Beside that first goal and the game changer is crafting a purple nornir axe, in order to do that i recommend crafting a green/blue raider axe to kill limnorn lizards. So first you need to find a swamp biome then you need to gather 12 limnorn spikes from limnorn lizards (cumulatively talking, 5 for blue / 7 for purple so can craft blue first if you found the first 5) then you need 6 mushroom bolts ( 2 for blue / 4 for purple , trick to gather them solo is spot the mushrooms before night to make a rotation then quickly gather them at night to get 8 of them then you can use your T ability to return base and defend the rest of the night but it is actually safe to not defend it at all in first day or two if you level up the npc's guarding it, still keep an eye out for the tree health.) after that you need 9 stones which you can actually farm with your weapon ability if you dont crafted pickaxe yet then you can craft your blue nornir axe.
After that point i recommend to find an underpassage to desert biome because there will be werewolves there so you can gather their fangs in order to craft your purple nornir axe but also you can open your fast travel point to hideout which you need to finish anyways. Quick note that you need some feral armor pieces to dont get hurt too much from hot tempature effect if you dont have / select seer class. So i would recommend to check your quests after finding your way to hideout so you can select the most ideal quest for your run. (ideal quest would be the one that you can do along the way without spending extra time in it but it is pretty much luck based it will not show same quests everytime. Here is quick list of quests that you can pick : Elite Bounty, Elite Raid, Hideout Raid and Empty nights these ones are good to go.) After you pick your quest and talk with the quest npc you are ready to do hideout. (considering you finish the purple nornir axe) To get a smooth clear i highly recommend to have 3 green health potions and 1-2 blue health potions because monsters in hideout hit pretty hard also there is a chance that you get werewolf boss which hits pretty hard and hard to dodge so you need pots to facetank it, if the boss is ogre on third floor then fight with one at a time and it will be an easy fight because their attacks are pretty easy to dodge.
After you complete the hideout you get the hideout fragments and quest fragments you need so you can finish a quick event to get your event fragments and you are good to go since you will probably killed the jotunn at this point. All you need is materials to finish the bridge and most likely you will miss some cutstones for it.
In my strategy i dont go for quarry because i always have enough of them after destroying every barricade i see and mining/destroying with weapon the stones i see, So i recommend to not build any of them in a solo run but its a different story if you play with group you can select one person to finish quarry as fast as possible while your carry quickly grinding his/her way to get purple weapon and clearing a hideout. Also this same person can defend the village at nights while your carry continue his job. So there is some advantage in group play but you will get less fragments in chests jotunn slays etc. so dont forget to call your friends to gather their fragments. Anyways if you are doing it solo you will probably dont need quarry etc because you will already have the most materials.
So after you finish the bridge quickly find the way to fenrir portal finish it do your fenrir if you have waypoint ability ( i think you dont need to defend village at nights if you doing a solo fenrir run but take care anyways and have your T ability to quickly get back to your base to defend it at night.) then bifrost your way out.
Quick tips and tricks / PSA
1-You can use quests to locate biomes npcs are always in the same biomes so its an easy way to find the biome you want.
2-You can use your weapon ability to gather stones, woods in early game it will give less than a pickaxe/lumberaxe but its a good way to go in a rush strategy since you dont want to slowdown till you get your fast travelpoints etc also finish the stone pickaxe/lumberaxe in your first return.
3-You dont craft the silver/crystal gather set in rush strategy because you need every single cutstone etc you get in a solo run and they need cutstones to craft them. if you doing it with a group one person can do the gather set all the way to crystal and start gathering every stone in their sight. But i dont recommend more than one people to craft further than stone set.
4-Also you can do quarry in a group play but i dont recommend it in a solo run.
5-Bridge will always be in the grass biome so look for it if you cant find it.
6-You will need to have a feral set to survive in extreme tempature zones if you dont select seer in your run so kill the boars you see in grass biome in order to get mats to craft them you can mix some blue armours dont need complete feral set or you can also craft heatproof/coldproof potions if you cant find the mats you need.
7-Try to gather maple trees you see with your weapon skill in earlier stages of a run to get enough health potion mats so you can constantly have health potions.
8-When you fight with fenrir try to stay under of him between his legs you will not take damage from most of his attacks with that way just keep in mind to run away from him when he start his roar. If you select warrior you just need to time your evades and stay under him almost all the time just get back when he roar thats it.
9-Kill the jotunn on day 3-4
10-Your npc's can defend the village in first day or two if you doing a solo run but keep in mind in day 2 you will loss a noticible amount of health from the tree if you dont defend it and dont level your npc's
11-Destroy every barricade you see and check ramps for it (most likely there will be a barricade when there is a large ash beach biome for example.)
12-Try to run in road so you get speed boost.
13-You can certainly use different strategy's for your runs depending on player amount of that run , i think distribution of tasks is pretty important in co-op play.
Sum up get a purple nornir axe, rush to underpassage get a quest , do the hideout , do the event , find the bridge and repair mats, find the portal, kill the fenrir then bifrost to go valhalla
and that's all of it i tried to cover every aspect of a saga run in a more solo run perspective but most of the info here is also usable on a pub game or co-op run so i hope you liked it. You can ask questions i will try to response whenever i see.
