This achievement is available to unlock as soon as you enter the south-western area of the map (Hakoa). This area has dark sand and you can get a quest at Seven Sisters Station connected to this achievement. This quest is called "Lightning In A Bottle" and is given out by the machinist Zahra.

In order to find a Lightning Crystal you need to travel to the Crystal Plateau which is situated in the bottom left corner. A big red dot should be the hint if you do not have the quest marker.

When you reach the quest area there are two ways in which you can unlock the achievement.

• The fastest way is to climb until you reach the miner camp with the Hakoan Merchant Caimin. When you talk to him you can actually buy a crystal for 100 credits. This should unlock the achievement!

• If you want to unlock it the way the game probably intended then continue to the top of the plateau. Up here you can climb a circle shaped building in the middle of the area.

• From this building it is easy to see when lightning strikes one of the dark floating obelisks surrounding the plateau. When this happens they grow large crystals. Some of them have smaller Lightning Crystals above them.

• Now you need to get to them in a somewhat short amount of time. When you reach them you can pluck them. If you are to slow the crystals shatter. If that happens then just wait for the next spawn. When you do reach a Lightning Crystal and pick it up the achievement should unlock!
