Creature Enamel in Subnautica 2 is found near the Alien Ruins area, usually on black rock or pillar surfaces with large white, bone-like spikes sticking out of them. You need a Sonic Resonator to break the deposits and collect it.

Fast route

  • Head to the Alien Ruins / Alien Ruins Research Center area.
  • Look around the nearby monoliths, rock pillars, and dark mineral outcrops.
  • Scan for the white ivory spikes; that visual is the giveaway.
  • Use the Sonic Resonator on the deposit to harvest it.

Good landmark

A commonly cited farming spot is about 200 meters southeast of the Alien Ruins research base, where several Creature Enamel nodes are clustered together. Another guide points to a monolith about 200 meters south of the Alien Ruins Research Center with more deposits nearby.

Tips

  • Bring the Sonic Resonator before going there.
  • Expect hostile Needlers in the area, so move quickly and be ready to retreat.
  • You’re collecting it for Enameled Glass, which is the main crafting use mentioned in current guides.

Quick visual clue

If it looks like a black lump of rock with white tusk-like sticks coming out, you’re probably looking at Creature Enamel.

TL;DR: go to the Alien Ruins area, find the white spike-covered deposits on rocks or pillars, and blast them with the Sonic Resonator.
