When you first go through the Crystal Descent and descend into The Lower Deeps, you will gain access to many valuable materials. But many players may be surprised to learn that the treasures of Moria are much deeper, and Sunstone is one of them. As a valuable late-game mineral, mining Sunstone requires the best tools in Return to Moria, but finding it is even more challenging. However, if you are ready to go to the most distant corners of The Darkest Deeps or challenge the most dangerous enemies in the dungeon, we are here to help you.
Where To Find Sunstone in Return to Moria
First of all, it is worth noting that you can get Sunstone in Return to Moria in two ways:
- Firstly, you can get it as a random drop by defeating Troll King.
- Secondly, you can find and mine this mineral in the lower levels of Moria.
First, it is worth talking about Troll King since this method will allow you to get some Sunstone earlier in the story. Troll Kings are powerful bosses you can meet in different rooms of Moria. These are formidable enemies, but if you defeat them, you have little chance of getting a Sunstone. Yes, the chance is not 100%, but you will receive other valuable rewards, so this is not a useless battle.
Alternatively, you can find Sunstone as a mineral in the walls in the lower levels of Moria. More precisely, go to the Barazinbar and The Darkest Deeps area. Examine the walls in these locations and look for golden ore veins that shimmer in green, brown, and orange colors. Sometimes, they can also glow with a red tint, and this is because Sunstone often spawns as a combined ore along with Adamant. By mining these rocks, you will get both very durable materials. At this plot point, we recommend collecting some Ironwood and creating a Tier 4 Pickaxe.
That is all you need to know about how to get Sunstone in Return to Moria. Next, it all depends on your perseverance, but let’s once again recall the main points that you should know:
- You can find Sunstone as an ore in Barazinbar and The Darkest Deeps areas.
- To mine, you will need a Tier 4 Pickaxe.
- You can also get Sunstone as a drop from Troll King.
