The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom emphasizes creating new vehicles powered by Zonai technology, unlike Breath of the Wild. However, you must refine resources to maximize your new skills. Here is our guide listing all Crystal Refinery locations in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
All TotK Crystal Refinery locations
If you have consulted our guide on how to upgrade batteries, you know that Crystal Refinery locations in TotK play a big role. This guide lets you know where to find both refineries available in Hyrule, with a map for each one’s location, plus written directions to assist you with reaching them.
You come across the first refinery while you are exploring Great Sky Island at the game’s start. It is located right near Nachoyah Shrine, in the very same cave. The Construct there tells you to look for Zonai below the surface, where it originated.
The second crystal refinery in TotK is also readily available. You can find it on the north side of Lookout Landing, resting on a high ledge. You can easily see it while standing near the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower, and even get most of the way to it just by jumping over the fence from some of the higher steps in the settlement.
When you start seriously exploring the Depths, you’ll likely begin somewhere near the Great Abandoned Central Mine. There is a Forge Construct in this location, which is not far from the Great Plateau East Chasm. We wrote in detail about reaching the area in our guide on how to get the Autobuild ability.
You can visit Forge Constructs throughout the Depths to exchange Zonai bits for crystals that you can then hand over at the refineries. There are several Forge Constructs located near various mines throughout the Depths where you can make exchanges.
Best ways to get Crystallized Charges in TotK
Crystal Refineries are your go-to spot for upgrading Link’s battery in TotK. To actually upgrade the battery at a Crystal Refinery in TotK, you must turn in Crystallized Charges. There are a few ways to collect Crystallized Charges quickly, allowing you to upgrade the battery as often as you’d like.
The easiest way to obtain Crystallized Charges in Tears of the Kingdom, is by purchasing them from Forge Constructs with Zonaite. I recommend using the Forge Construct in the Great Sky Island region, considering it’s the easiest one to reach. Below is the location of the Forge Construct.
You can collect Zonaite quickly by exploring The Depths and destroying ore deposits. One Crystallized Charge will cost you three Zonaites, while a Large Crystallized Charge costs three Large Zonaites. A Large Crystallized Charge is equivalent to 20 standard Crystallized Charges.
Players can also collect Crystallized Charges by defeating the Frox bosses in The Depths. Each Frox drops Large Crystallized Charges, making the boss fights well worth your time. Additionally, Crystallized Charges are found in chests within The Depths.
What is the max battery level in TotK?
The maximum level for Energy Cells in TotK is 45, and you can have up to 16 batteries. This number is equivalent to 4,500 Crystallized Charges. Acquiring this amount of Crystallized Charges will take time and require patience, so be prepared for a long journey ahead.
