Subnautica 2 Conductive Crystal: Where to Find It

In Subnautica 2, the Conductive Crystal is a fundamental material for progressing through the game. This article will help you locate these crystals.

What is the Conductive Crystal used for?

As its name might not necessarily suggest, the Conductive Crystal allows you to craft various pieces of equipment or buildings. Its rarity and the difficulty of reaching it make it a primary goal for many players. You'll need to dive below 300m in depth, particularly in regions such as the Alien Ruins, to retrieve it.

Note

Suitable tools are needed to extract it optimally.

The best places to gather Conductive Crystal

The Alien Ruins are the best place to start your search for Conductive Crystals. These structures often conceal resources within their depths. For instance, activating devices within these ruins can reveal hidden resources. A depth of 300m or more improves your chances of discovering these crystals.

Tip

Watch out for any marine creatures that might interfere with your search.

The right methods for gathering Conductive Crystal

To break Conductive Crystals, you'll need a Sonic Resonator. Once you have one, approach the crystal and you'll be able to destroy it. A destroyed crystal will then allow you to harvest between 1 and 4 crystals. However, don't overlook the creatures that might be attracted by the noise you make!

Upgrading your equipment

Before heading down and diving to the desired depth, make sure your equipment is up to date—your Seatruck, for example, absolutely must be upgraded to dive deeper. Also invest in advanced gathering tools to more easily harvest your Conductive Crystals. Make sure you have enough resources to stay underwater for several minutes!
