Subnautica 2: Finding Troilit – How to Securely Obtain the Coveted Ore

Troilit is one of the rarer materials in Subnautica 2 and therefore not so easy to find. We will explain how you can safely collect the ore.

Where can you find Troilit? You can find the ore in the Root Canyon, about 2000 meters east of your escape pod. You will unmistakably recognize the area by a green glow and shimmering in the middle of the biome.

What should you look out for? You can find Troilit like most ores primarily on rock walls. You can actually hardly miss it in the biome because it is only found in large clusters and not in small ore lumps, and it glows green in the dark. So you can hardly miss it.

What do you need to mine it? Your multifunction tool is not strong enough to mine Troilit. Therefore, you first need the Sonic Resonator when you want to search for the ore.

Subnautica 2: Tips to safely mine Troilit

However, the area where Troilit is located is not so easy to access. To get in and out as safely as possible, we have a few tips for you.

Take your vehicle

Wait to search for the material until you have unlocked your Tadpole. This way, you are not only significantly faster, but also safer if something attacks you along the way.

Upgrade it

Additionally, it makes sense to tweak your Tadpole a bit beforehand, such as by installing a Depth Module and attaching a container, so you can take as much of the material with you and not just rely on your inventory.

Watch out for the Leviathan

On your way to the Root Canyon, you will inevitably have to pass by the Collector Leviathan. It will inevitably attack you as soon as you appear in its line of sight, and you won’t survive long.

Here, you should make sure to swim either right at the water’s surface or stay close to the bottom and rock walls, as the Leviathan finds it harder to spot you there.

To get past the Leviathan, players come up with the most creative ideas. What route do you use? Feel free to write it in the comments. Some players even build whole bridges to avoid it, but the community believes that won’t work for long: Players find a creative way to circumvent the most dangerous creature in Subnautica 2 – “The developers will patch this”
