Where to find Silver
Answer first
Check Coral Gardens around the Lifepod for Silver first, then head north toward Old Habitat for deeper cave nodes. The July 8 update added nearby Silver and a hint; the Old Habitat route remains a backup at roughly 30 m or deeper.
Field notes
| Materials | Silver |
|---|---|
| Tools | Distraction Flares, Sonic Resonator (later) |
| Depth / zone | ≥30 m; Old Habitat caves N |
Steps
- Bring Distraction Flares — predators patrol the Old Habitat approach.
- Check the Coral Gardens around the Lifepod first; the current official build adds Silver placement and a Silver hint there. If you need more, swim north past the early Coral Domes toward Old Habitat.
- At ~200 m, find the tiny downward cave under an overhang with purple Jelly Lei; harvest wall Silver.
- Continue to Old Habitat (~400 m). Enter the large cave to the right; follow green wall plants downward to blue-bulb chambers with more Silver.
- Use Sonic Resonator later for larger nodes once unlocked.
Related: Lead (early metal)
Lead clusters around Cicada Wreck (Lander Garage) ~340–400 m northeast of the Lifepod — purple blocky stones on the seafloor. Small pieces are hand-pickable; large crystals need the Sonic Resonator. See the dedicated Lead guide.
Related: Lithium
Early Lithium sits inside the Great Jaw (~300 m south, past Cicada Canteen) in a pink-threaded structure — avoid touching threads. Main farm: volcanic caves under Cicada Empty Hold east of Lifepod after Heat Tolerance. See the Lithium guide.
