Where to find green crystals in Metroid Prime 4 Beyond?

Green crystals can be encountered around the world, but are most common once players step into Sol Valley, the vast desert area that acts as a central hub which connects all other biomes. This is also where players will be able to flex their driving skills on the new Vi-O-lA bike that Samus can use to traverse these stretches of emptiness.

This desert is filled with green crystals that pop up in clumps around the map. Crashing into them with the bike's boost and slide mechanics will help Samus collect them. Meanwhile, green crystals found outside the desert can be collected by blasting them with the Morph Ball power bomb or arm cannon missiles. Trying to find as many as possible is important, as players are rewarded with upgrades.

Note that new green crystal clusters will pop up as players find new Master Teleporter Keys, so players will be running laps across Sol Valley if they want to find all upgrades. On that note, filling the green crystals meter full will help unlock the final ending in Metroid and grant Samus an all-new suit.
