How to collect Condensing Crystal underwater

Since the characters do not have the usual attacks in the underwater space, it is necessary to use an alternative method of collecting condensing crystals. This can be done with the skill xenochrome armored crab - These creatures are always located near the accumulations of ore, so it will not be difficult to find them.

Hit an armored crab with a normal attack. A symbol will appear next to the character, which means that the creature's ability has been borrowed. Approach the crystal and use the “E” skill on it, after which you can pick up the dropped resource.

Crystals can also be broken using the xenochrome jellyfish ability. Find the creature underwater and hit it to learn the skill. Swim to the ore cluster and throw a jellyfish bomb towards it with a long press, and then detonate it by reactivating the talent. After this, you can collect all the crystals you receive.
