Locating Celestine for the Tadpole Depth Module

If you are looking to craft the Tadpole Depth Module, you are likely hunting for Celestine. This material is essential for processing Strontium, which is required to build the depth module that prevents hull breaches during deep dives. However, Celestine is not available everywhere; it is exclusively found in the Alien Ruins biome.

To access this resource, you must first complete the Tadpole Pens and traverse the ominous waters surrounding the Alien Ruins research base. Because this biome is located at significant depths, preparation and precise navigation are critical for a successful harvest.

Specific Mining Location and Strategy

The most reliable location for Celestine is approximately 200 meters southeast of the Alien Ruins base. You will find the deposits on the rocks below the cliff edge, down in the lower depths where the terrain becomes rugged and rocky.

Step-by-Step Harvesting Guide

  • Navigate to the Coordinates: Swim southeast from the Alien Ruins, dropping over the cliff face to reach the rocky seabed.
  • Prepare Your Equipment: At depths around 250 meters, you may need to exit your Tadpole to reach the specific node locations. Ensure your Sonic Resonator is equipped to smash the hard Celestine nodes.
  • Identify the Node: Look for clusters of small, light blue, jagged crystals. They resemble large salt formations but are distinctively blue and crystalline.
  • Watch Your Back: This area is patrolled by two Needlers. These aggressive creatures can inflict significant damage, so stay alert and use your environment for cover.

Safety and Efficiency Tips

While Celestine can be found at various depths, the southeastern cliffside offers the best balance between resource availability and safety. It is close enough to your Tadpole to manage oxygen levels effectively and allows for quick retreats from Needler attacks.

Once you have collected the Celestine, return to your processor and smelt it into Strontium. With this key component secured, you will be one step closer to equipping your Tadpole with the depth module needed to explore the deeper oceans safely.
