Hey Travelers! Ready to hunt down those elusive Radiant Spincrystals in Natlan? These shiny collectibles might seem like simple soundtrack unlocks, but anyone who's chased 'em knows they're sneaky little devils. As of Version 5.6, Natlan's expanded with the Ancient Sacred Mountain area, adding fresh hiding spots for these musical gems. Whether you're a completionist or just vibing with the tribal beats, this guide's got your back. 🎵
🔥 Children of Echoes Tribe (Spincrystals #1-3)
Start your treasure hunt underground! The first spincrystal's chilling like a VIP at Stage Tepetl – just teleport to the tribe's underground waypoint, head southwest, and climb to the left deck. Spot it? That little guy's lounging on a chair like it owns the place.
Next, stroll west past the chief to a cozy Saurian Nest. Peek inside the Tepetlisaurus' crib – yep, there's #2 snuggled in there. For #3, warp to the northwest underground waypoint, turn around before climbing stairs, and scramble up the entrance rocks. Easy peasy!
⚔️ Stadium & Springs (Spincrystals #4-6)
Feeling dramatic? Head to Stadium of the Sacred Flame! Teleport to the entrance, climb the pillar to the spectator's perch, and snag #4 from a table overlooking the arena – perfect for imaginary crowd cheers.
At Toyac Springs' Statue of Seven, dive into the hole upfront. Before venturing deep underground, spot #5 chilling on boxes near the entrance like a lazy guard. Then zip to Ancestral Temple's center waypoint, glide south, and grab #6 from an altar above a cave entrance – watch your step!
🌳 Canopy to Night-Wind Tribes (Spincrystals #7-17)
-
Scions of the Canopy: Teleport to the Reputation NPC, head downstairs to the merchant area, and find #7 shamelessly sitting on a tiny box. Then upstairs to the tribe's edge for #8 perched on a structure.
-
Underground Lava River: Accessible during Tracer No Tracing quest. At the lower level, transform into a Koholasaurus, swim south through Phlogiston, and nab #9 near some bushes. Pro tip: Don't forget your fireproof swim trunks! 🔥
-
People of the Springs: Reputation NPC teleport → turn around → find #10 flexing on musical instruments at a street performance.
-
Flower-Feather Clan: After warping to their Reputation NPC, become a Qucusaur and ride Phlogiston wind tunnels southwest to a mountain top. #11's waiting on a box by the cliff edge. Then backtrack north to an alpaca den – #12's munching from a food tray like a hungry guest!
- Masters of the Night-Wind: Five spincrystals here! Teleport north → edge walk for #13 on a box. Glide south to a tall building's middle level for #14. For #15, use the western waypoint, transform into Qucusaur, fly southwest to a lonely boulder, and climb to the table-top prize. Then southern waypoint → Citlali's house → #16 on her barrel. Finally, northeast Statue of Seven waypoint → glide northwest → #17 beside a wall on a box. Phew!
🗝️ Quest-Locked Treasures (Spincrystals #18-20)
These require some elbow grease:
-
Remnants of Tetenanco: Teleport northeast → shore → three spincrystals (#18) teasing you from boxes. But wait – complete Kulemana's challenge first to unlock the chest they're guarding. Classic bait-and-switch!
-
Skyfire Circlet: Warp north → Qucusaur nest → grab #19. Requires finishing The Way Into the Mountain quest (start with NPCs in Collective of Plenty).
-
Ancient Sacred Mountain: The grand finale! Unlock via Frozen, Rekindling Land quest continuation. Teleport to the area's center → spot #20 casually sunbathing on a rock. Achievement unlocked: Master Collector!

Final Tips from a Treasure Veteran
Natlan's spincrystals love playing hide-and-seek! Some demand Saurian transformations or Phlogiston mechanics – don't ignore those new systems. Others? Literally sitting on alpaca dinner plates. Go figure. And hey, if you stumble upon graffiti-marked stones or dragon idol puzzles? They might lead to bonus chests nearby... but that's another story. Happy hunting, Travelers – may your soundtrack collection be fire! 🎮✨
