How to Unlock & Cook Crystal in Schedule 1

Crystal is one of the many substances you can unlock and cook in Schedule 1.

As you might guess, there’s quite a lot of work to do before you can start imitating one of the most popular chemistry teachers ever. You need to get the right equipment, establish a supply chain for ingredients, learn how the process actually works, etc, etc…

Thankfully, you have us to help! Read on and we’ll tell you how to use the wonders of science to make Crystal in Schedule 1.

How to Unlock & Cook Crystal | Schedule 1

There are a few pre-requisites you need to meet to be able to unlock and cook Crystal. First of all, you need to progress the main campaign until you unlock the Warehouse. That means you need to reach the Westville area and the rank of Hustler V.

Once you have access to the Warehouse, you need to establish a supply chain for Pseudo. That’s the base ingredient for Crystal in this game!

To start the Pseudo supply chain, you need to become friendly with either Jerry Montero or Meg Cooley. Give them free samples of your products and sell their favorite weed strains to them. Jerry favors Smelly and Gingeritis strains, Meg favors Sneaky and Slippery strains.

Manage to get on their good side and they’ll introduce you to Shirley Watts. This allows you to contact Shirley through your phone to purchase Pseudo from her. The starting Low Quality Pseudo costs $60 a pop.

Aside from Pseudo, you’ll also need to get Acid and Red Phosphorous as ingredients. You can buy them from Oscar’s Store at the Warehouse. Both of them cost $40 a pop.

Additionally, you’ll need to purchase the Chemistry Station ($1000) and the Lab Oven ($1000). You can also get them from Oscar’s Store. They’re pretty expensive equipment, but they’re required to turn the raw materials into the finished product!

Preparing the Crystal

You now have every unlock you need, so it’s time to actually cook the Crystal in Schedule 1. To start, interact with the Chemistry Station and select a recipe. In this case, you’ll likely only have the Liquid Meth recipe which requires Pseudo x1, Acid x1, and Red Phosphorus x1.

Add the Pseudo to the beaker and then pour the Acid and Red Phosphorous. You can use the A and D keys to tip the containers. Once you’ve added it all in, follow the in-game instructions to stir it and then pour the mix into the boiling flask.

When you have the mix in the boiling flask above the burner, use the burner’s dial. Carefully turn it on and off until you get the temperature just right. This is denoted by the green section in the temperature bar. Once you get it right, you’ll be taken out of the Chemistry Station. Just wait 8 in-game hours for it to finish cooking.

Once the mix is done cooking, grab the Liquid Meth from the Chemistry Station and take it to the Lab Oven. Open the oven and pour the liquid onto the tray. Then, close the oven and click on Cook. Wait 6 in-game hours and check again to collect the finished Crystal!

Simply use the hammer at the Lab Oven to break up the product. You’ll get x10 Meth each time, with the quality depending mostly on which quality of Pseudo you used.

So, there you have it. That’s how to unlock and cook Crystal in Schedule 1. You can now sell it as is, but we recommend using some of the best Crystal mixes to get better profits. Use the right ingredients and Mixing Stations to make the product even more profitable.
