Where to find Lithium in Subnautica 2
Lithium is a tricky resource to find in Subnautica 2. You might not need it that much but it's worth picking up when you can
Subnautica 2 Lithium is one of those resources you don't really need much, so you might overlook it, but when you need it, you really need it. Used for crafting an important tadpole adaptation and the high capacity air tank, it's absolutely essential that you find some, so I'll tell you where to look.
Lithium isn't actually found in many crafting recipes in the survival game, but it is required for crafting Plasteel ingots. As I've said, these are then required for crafting the tadpole Scout Ray chassis and an upgraded O2 tank. Each recipe only requires one ingot, so you should only need about two pieces of lithium, which is handy since it's quite hard to come by.
Where to find Lithium in Subnautica 2
Lithium is mostly found around the graveyard area of the Subnautica 2 map, which is the warm area to the southeast of your lifepod.
Some can also be found near the Great Jaw Subnautica 2 leviathan, which is directly south of your lifepod, but to get the most out of your lithium expedition, you should probably head east.
You'll need to head into the deep caverns of the graveyard to find the majority of this purple and gold mineral, but your Subnautica 2 tadpole can just about make it without the depth module adaptation, if you've not got that yet. Once you've got some, use a processor to turn it into Subnautica 2 ingots.
You'll also find plenty of Subnautica 2 salt, gold, and sulphur around this area, but with a limited inventory, it's best to only pick up what you need. Gold and sulphur are probably the most common of the resources found here, so best not to get excited and fill your pockets with them.
