Slime Rancher 2: Where to Find Radiant Ore

One of the most important first upgrades for players in Slime Rancher 2 is unquestionably the Jetpack – helping players traverse locales and cliffs much easier, as well as aiding the task of getting Flutter Slimes, among others.

Crafting the Jetpack requires the resource ‘Radiant Ore.’

In the exploration of Rainbow Fields, players will probably find themselves coming across various mineral deposits with jagged rocks sticking out that can be harvested.

Given that Radiant Ore is actually a fairly plentiful resource in the game and not rare, there shouldn’t be any difficulty in players locating enough for the crafting they need it for.

Where to Find Radiant Ore in Slime Rancher 2

Radiant Ore can be located on all three islands within the game.

Most commonly, you’ll find it against a rocky or jagged surface – like the edges or base of cliffs, or along cliff sides.

You’ll first need to ensure you have the Resource Harvester upgrade to be able to use the Vac Pack on Radiant Ore once you do stumble across the mineral deposits.

While the spawn locations are randomized, keep an eye out for cubed, shiny rocks. Given that they can be found across Rainbow Island, finding them may not be a concern. However, you’ll certainly have the easiest odds if you travel to Ember Valley.

If you haven’t unlocked Ember Valley yet, to do so you’ll need to clear the Pink Gordo Slime in The Conservatory area until it explodes, enabling you to activate the portal required to travel there.

As Pink Slimes will consume anything, you just need to keep feeding it until it explodes, revealing the geyser beneath. Stand upon this, and it will shoot you along over the cliffs where you can press a button on the other side to unlock the portal to Ember Valley.

Utilizing the Vac Pack on the mineral deposits should net you 2-3 pieces of Radiant Ore.
