How to Get Radiant Ore in Slime Rancher 2
There are a few steps that you must first follow to get Radiant Ore in Slime Rancher 2. First of all, you will have to unlock the resource harvester at the fabricator by collecting x10 cotton ply from Cottom Slimes. This will allow you to harvest Radiant Ore when you find it.
Cotton Slimes are one of the first creatures you’ll encounter at the start of your journey, so just head west from the Conservatory and you’ll soon come across a large field filled with Pink and Cotton Slimes.
Cotton Slimes’ favorite food is Water Lettuce, which will produce two Cotton Plorts, but you can feed them any vegetable to produce one Plort at a time. There is also water lettuce and pogo fruit in and around the west area of the Conservatory.
Once you have x10 Cotton Plorts, head to the science lab down the stairs behind your house and fire the x10 Cotton Plorts into the refinery to the right of the fabricator. Then go to the Fabricator and craft the Resources Harvester.
Now that you can harvest materials when you find them, be on the lookout for shiny rocks that look like squares, as those are Radiant Ore nodes. However, they are random, so we can’t tell you exactly where they will spawn.
Additionally, while Radiant Ore can be found all over Rainbow Island, we’ve found that some areas have significantly more ore than others.
Best place to get Radiant Ore at the start of Slime Rancher 2
The best place to get and farm Radiant Ore at the start of Slime Rancher 2 is Ember Valley, located west of The Conservatory. While their exact locations are hit-and-miss, we found x10 Radiant Ore for our Jetpack pretty quickly by searching here.
To unlock the Ember Valley area, you will first need to feed the Pink Gordo Slime in The Conservatory area until it explodes, then activate the portal in front of the exploded Gordo to get there.
The Pink Gordo in Slime Rancher 2 is located in the north corner of the blue area marked on your mapwest of the cliffs you first encounter after leaving your ranch.
If you haven’t cleared the map to see exactly where we’ve marked in the image above, keep moving forward until you come across a cliff, then turn left and follow the cliff on its north side, and you’ll soon encounter Pink Jelly Gordo.
It usually takes x30 of a Slime’s diet food to blast it and clear the path they’re blocking, but since Pink Slimes eat anything, you can feed it however you like. There are plenty of carrots in the area and we found a clump of red pogo fruit to the right of the Pink Gordo which helped us feed him quickly.
Once the Pink Gordo Slime has exploded, stand on the geyser spouting water into the air, and it will shoot you too, allowing you to walk on the cliffs above and press the button to the other side to unlock the Ember Valley portal.
All you have to do now is enter this Rainbow Portal and you will be transported to Ember Valley, which is the best place to get and farm Radiant Ore at the start of Slime Rancher 2.
Have fun exploring Rainbow Island!
