Obtaining resources in Synduality: Echo of Ada is not always easy, but they’re key to progress.
The right materials are key to leveling up your gear, crafting, or just getting by.
This guide will show you how to locate difficult-to-find resources and maximize the game world's offerings.
How To Find Resources
The Wishlist in your garage’s Remodel tab is a solid go-to for collecting what you’re after.
You'll need various materials to remodel your rooms or expand your garage.
To ensure you’re gathering the right resources, add them to your Wishlist.
Once you fill your Wishlist, your Magus will point out nearby resources with a pink icon on your HUD.
You can also use the map to track these items more precisely. The map helps you determine where your resources will most likely spawn.
Keep in mind that these resources won't always stay in the same spot.
You'll see them when you step into a new place, but they'll dip as soon as you move on, so just roll with it.
The Wishlist is useful, though you can gather materials in other ways in Synduality: Echo of Ada.
As you wander around, check for any chests or containers that might have something helpful.
Your Magus can often mark these during expeditions. After taking down enemies, you’ll find the resources they leave behind.
Cradles, both AI-controlled and player-based, drop materials based on their level and the loot they carry.
Fight these enemies to grab useful materials; there’s a chance for rare drops if you hit their weak spots with critical hits.
You’ll run into Enders, and they drop some handy materials, like Chaser Fangs and Crawler Cores.
To improve your chances of surviving these materials, focus on Enders’ weak points in yellow and try to score as many critical hits as possible.
However, don’t stretch out the fight too long, as doing so can cause the materials to degrade or disappear.
Another best way to gather resources early is by completing the garage Requests.
These missions are pretty varied, like going to certain places, slaying particular enemies, or using certain weapons to defeat them.
Once you're done, you'll get cash and materials for your garage upgrades.
Swapping factions can also give you access to more missions and opportunities for rare resources as you level up.
Not only does your Magus fight by your side, but it also excels at gathering resources.
While you're out on expeditions, your Magus scans the environment and pins down resources so you don’t waste time looking.
Pay attention to your HUD to detect these indicators. Depending on the environment, some materials can be more difficult to find.
You might come across more resources depending on the game's weather or time of day.
You might get different results if you check the same area at different times, so feel free to swing by again.
Some of your old equipment might take up space as you load up on new gear.
Rather than letting them gather dust in your inventory, dismantling these items gives you useful resources for crafting.
This is a great way to reclaim materials that you might need but are hard to find in the wild.
If you want to gather resources faster or need extra help, multiplayer mode can be a huge advantage.
Joining forces with other players lets you tackle tougher missions and defeat enemies that drop better resources.
Multiplayer missions often hand out extra materials, helping you stock up on resources.
When you work together, you can swap resources and help each other find what you need.
