Overview

A Tier 1 upgrade mineral found in breakable deposits and hidden park spaces.

Where to gather it

  • Check side rooms in anthills and minor caves, including the early Snackbar Anthill route.
  • Bring the required Omni-Tool functions because some deposits sit behind breakable obstacles.

Strategy notes

  • Mark dense deposits on the map and collect them during story routes instead of making a separate trip.
  • Spend early upgrades on a weapon that matches the next creature weakness rather than spreading shards across every tool.
