Where to find Copper

Answer first

Copper lives in shallow caves, often on ceilings. Check the hole directly under the Lifepod and the larger cave ~50 m east (enter around the upwelling current). Deeper large deposits need the Sonic Resonator later.

Steps

  1. Dive the circular seafloor hole under the Lifepod — Copper on cave walls near oxygen flora.
  2. Swim ~50 m east to the larger cave; bypass the upward current via side crevices.
  3. Look up — Copper deposits often poke from ceilings.
  4. After unlocking Sonic Resonator, harvest oversized nodes on deeper drop-offs beyond the early caves.
