What Is the Entangled Power Cell in Subnautica 2?
The Entangled Power Cell is an upgraded version of the Power Cell. In the current build, it’s more of a luxury than a necessity, since the game can be completed using only regular Power Cells. Still, if you’re planning longer or deeper expeditions, the extra charge makes exploration noticeably more convenient.
How to Unlock the Blueprint
| Location | NE of the Karakorum Power Plant Coordinates: -159089, 427806 | Depth: 305m |
|---|
The blueprint can be unlocked after scanning one Entangled Power Cell fragment. Both fragment pieces sit at the same location, an elevated platform northeast of the Karakorum Power Plant.
From the Alien Ruins, head east toward the Power Plant area. Descend beneath the main alien structure line, and you'll find the small site is in a lit pocket below. Follow the light coming from underneath until you reach the platform.
| Tip! | You need the Tadpole Depth Module Mk. 1 installed before heading here. The platform sits at 305 meters, which is below the Tadpole's default crush depth. |

How to Craft the Entangled Power Cell
| Crafted Item | Ingredients | Where to Craft |
|---|---|---|
| Entangled Power Cell | - Conduit Crystal ×1 - Strong Acid ×1 - Gold Ingot ×1 - Troilite ×1 | Fabricator |
Most of the materials required to craft an Entangled Power Cell are found in the late game. Here's how to get them:
| Ingredient | How to Get It |
|---|---|
 Conduit Crystal | Found near the Power Plant and Metal Farms. Mine with the Sonic or Feedback Resonator. |
 Strong Acid | Crafted at the Processor using Necrolei Cyst ×2. Necrolei Cysts grow near purple and green anemones around the Old Habitat area. |
 Gold Ingot | Crafted at the Processor using Gold ore. Gold is found in the hot caves biome. |
 Troilite | Harvested from Mineralized Clinker deposits in the Root Canyon near the Metal Farm. Very limited supply. Farm it with a Metal Farm as soon as possible. |
How to Use the Entangled Power Cell
The Entangled Power Cell slots directly into your vehicle in place of the standard Power Cell. Swim to the top of the Tadpole, remove the Power Cell and replace it with an Entangled Power Cell. Once installed, it works exactly like a regular Power Cell, just with significantly more charge before it needs replacing.
| Tip! | Depleted Entangled Power Cells can be recharged at a Power Cell Terminal or a Tadpole Dock, once you park your submersible inside your base. |
