Greenshine

A resource used for weapon upgrades

Greenshine is a highly valuable green crystal that you can Harvest in Horizon Forbidden West. You can find your first piece after searching the area near Chainscrape. These crystals can be used for weapon upgrades.

Types of Greenshine

Greenshine can be found in a range of sizes. You will need to check which size you need for the upgrade you're trying to complete, as each upgrade requires a specific size and they are not compatible with each other.

Does Greenshine Respawn?

Greenshine does NOT respawn in-game

Once you have grabbed a Greenshine from a specific location and then decide to come back to the same location, you will no longer find a Greenshine as they do not respawn.

You can create a job at the workbench to look for a specific Greenshine. The game will show you the location of the Greenshine you need for your upgrades.
