WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Nitra veins and Nitra Scanner rock during dives; mid-dive upgrade and Supply Pod choices

Nitra is a spendable dive resource. Mine visible veins and, when equipped, use the Nitra Scanner on plain rock to find more. Spend it on weapon improvements or rerolls at a Supply Pod when the available choice is worth changing. It remains useful on the final stage for rerolls and qualifying artifacts, so decide based on the options in front of you rather than assuming it becomes irrelevant late in a run.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Start a dive where Nitra veins may appear, or equip the Nitra Scanner upgrade.
  • Know whether the current run needs a weapon improvement or an artifact option.
  • Reach an upgrade choice or Supply Pod before spending.
  1. Look for visible Nitra deposits as you follow the mission route.
  2. Mine veins that are accessible without jeopardizing the stage objective.
  3. If the Nitra Scanner is equipped, use it to identify Nitra in plain rock and mine it when practical.
  4. At a weapon improvement choice, spend Nitra if the upgrade supports your build.
  5. At a Supply Pod, review artifact options and reroll only when the alternatives justify the cost.
  6. On the final stage, continue to consider Nitra for rerolls and qualifying artifacts.
  7. Finish the dive and assess whether your spending helped the build.

Farming tips

  • A scanner is an option for finding Nitra in plain rock, not a reason to mine every wall.
  • Keep some Nitra only when you expect a later choice where it can be used; it has no value as an unspent plan by itself.

Repeat, collect and use

Collect Nitra anew in each dive. Deposits are limited within a run, while spending opportunities recur when the relevant choices appear.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming all plain rock contains Nitra: use the scanner to identify deposits before mining.
  • Rerolling automatically: compare the current choice with your build before paying.
  • Ignoring final-stage uses: Nitra can still matter for rerolls and qualifying artifacts late in a dive.

When to stop or switch

Stop mining when additional deposits require an unsafe detour or the run is ending; spend remaining Nitra only on a useful available option.
