Are you looking for Lithium in Subnautica 2? Described as the softest and least dense of metals, this mineral is used for certain advanced blueprints, including Plasteel Ingots when processed alongside Titanium. To get more of it, you have to head to areas that are filled with danger.
As of the time of this writing, we’ve found Lithium in a couple of areas:
- Near thermal vents in the Zezuran Desert
- Inside the core of the Great Jaw
Lithium locations in the Zezuran Desert
Lithium Deposits can be found in caverns and tunnels deep within the Zezuran Desert. Assuming you’re playing on Survival Mode, it would be a terrible idea to go to this location without preparing first. That’s because you need to pass close to thermal vents and the biome itself has high temperatures. Instead, we recommend the following:
- Progress through the sandbox campaign normally with the help of our mini-walkthrough. The story beats should lead you to the Tadpole Pens in the Zezuran Desert.
- You also need to unlock the Heat Tolerance Adaptation, so your health doesn’t get depleted while exploring the biome.
- Due to the distance that you need to cover, as well as all the enemies along the way, you should probably build the Tadpole vehicle, too.
- Finally, make sure you have a Sonic Resonator with you. The device is used to break large chunks of mineral deposits.

There’s another viable Lithium farming spot in Subnautica 2, but each attempt can be very risky. That’s because it’s right in the middle of the Great Jaw, a gigantic clam with an appetite. Here’s what you need to know:
