How to get Necrolei Cyst and Strong Acid in Subnautica 2

If you want to quickly progress through Subnautica 2's story and collect resources much faster, you'll need to get your hands on a vehicle. The easiest one to make early on in the Tadpole, requiring you to get your hands on a power cell.

Before you can make a power cell, you'll need to acquire Necrolei Cysts so you can craft Strong Acid. It'll take some time, but once you know where to find them, they're hard to miss.

How to find Necrolei Cyst in Subnautica 2

The easiest way to find Necrolei Cyst early on is to travel toward the Old Habitat directly north of the Lifepod. Once you travel around 300 meters north of the Lifepod toward this POI, you'll spot green and pink coral scattered about, alongside smaller green bulbed plants with blue flowers on top known as Stilt Orbs. Breaking these with your Survival Multitool will reward you with a Necrolei Cyst.

You'll find several of these bulbed plants around this biome, letting you farm them for cysts without much trouble.

How to make Strong Acid in Subnautica 2

Before you can make Strong Acid, you'll need access to a Processor. Entering the Old Habitat POI through a hole underneath its base will lead you inside a facility with several broken Processors inside. Scan these to unlock their blueprints, allowing you to build one back at your base.

You'll need the following resources to craft the Processor:

• Titanium (2)
• Mild Acid (1)
• Copper Wire (1)

By this point in your playthrough, titanium will be plentiful throughout the map, making this the easiest item to obtain. Copper wires are slightly more challenging, as copper primarily appears within caves. Similarly, Mild Acid requires copper and Acidic Raion Pouches, which you can acquire from Acid Raion plants using your Survival Multitool.

Once you have each material on hand, head into your base and place down the Processor, making sure you have enough power to run it. You'll find the recipe for Strong Acid within it, requiring two Necrolei Cyst for every acid you make.

How to use Strong Acid in Subnautica 2

Strong Acid is an item you'll need in several crafting recipes, including Fiber Mesh, Advanced Batteries, and Power Cells. Here's a complete list of every recipe that uses Strong Acid:
