Gathering Tips[]

These are based on opinions and may not be 100% true. These should be viewed as advice for finding the materials until better methods are proven.

  • Salacia, Neptune is the recommended node for gathering Cryptographic ALU, yielding approximately 12+ per run without a resource booster.
  • Utilizing Itzal's third ability, Cosmic Crush, allows easy acquisition of ALU as it pulls in pickups to your location while killing enemies.
  • When dropped by enemies, Cryptographic ALUs look identical to Omega Isotopes. Due to their dark color, this can make them difficult to make out against the backdrop of space.
  • The Steel Path's resource drop chance bonus increases Cryptographic ALU's drop chance.

Trivia[]

  • ALU stands for Arithmetic Logic Unit, an electronic circuit that is a fundamental building block in many computing circuits.
