How Do You Get Abyssal Horror in No Man’s Sky?
The Abyssal Horror, a fearsome sea creature, can be encountered in No Man’s Sky, a sci-fi adventure game developed by Hello Games. This guide will explain how to find and fight these terrifying beasts, adding a new level of challenge and excitement to your NMS experience.
How to Find Abyssal Horrors
To find an Abyssal Horror, you’ll need to mine underwater flora or minerals, and strong green versions can also be found on Derelict Freighters. With these methods, you may encounter multiple Horrors (2-7) which will swim towards you.
| Method | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Mining | Mineral extraction from underwater flora can attract an Abyssal Horror | |
| Derelict Freighter | Mining minerals on strong green Abyssal Horrors on Derelict Freighter |
Mining for Abyssal Horror
To start your underwater mining adventure, make sure you have the necessary resources, such as underwater mining equipment, like a Landing Helicopter. Approach underwater flora, highlighted by a red lure, to start your mining sequence.
Tip: Focus on deep sea deposits, as these tend to yield more Abyssal Horror spawns.
Fight Tactics:
Before the Horror emerges, it will emit an ominous pulsing light to alert you of its arrival. Move quickly to gather life support to aid you in the upcoming battle. Engage in tactics:
- Keep your distance, use retro boosters or Wormhole Sprint to create space
- Use area of effect weapons, such as the Multi-Chamber Catalyst, to inflict damage from a safe distance
- Attack in sections, target weak spots lateral propulsion nodes, and cannon balls
- Ration your ammo, take calculated shots and save power for critical situations
- Panic avoidance: Stay focused and methodically attack, rather than trying to kill in rapid succession
Conclusion:
To find Abyssal Horror in No Man’s Sky, you can try either mining underwater flora or minerals, or seek them out on Derelict Freighter. Be prepared to battle these formidable foes by bringing the right resources, having effective tactics, and taking calculated shots.
Keep an eye out for other marine creatures, such as Ephyra (the juvenile form of a Jellyfish) and potentially the ‘immortal jellyfish,’ Turritopsis dohrnii.
Enjoy the thrilling experience of fighting off Abyssal Horror, but don’t get too scared – you got this!
