At this point of the expidition there are bases that people have made to make some of this easier. There are bases with mold you can refine for nanites (if you need them), fishing spots with a device that keeps the barrier up so you dont have to worry about the squids attacking, and theres a base with deep water in the title that is near a deep spot in an ocean so you can get the floating for 60 seconds one. I would suggest to always shoot as many of those squid things as you can because you need it as a milestone, so right when you land just start blasting.
i got the fish at the planet that said it was a "frozen anomoly" (you can also change the difficulty settings for fishing to "automatic catch" if you want, some don't like the fishing part) you really don't need to bring the haz mat glove, you get one in the rewards of phase 2, for collecting 10 fossils. for the water depth, i found a spot that was not quite deep enough, swam down and used the terrain manipulator to make it deeper. 😀
Thank you so much for this! I'm a busy person between work and kids. Often I can complete an expedition in the usual time but since this one is only going to be around for like 2 weeks, it was really helpful having a guide to run me through it. Thank you!
Aaaand done. This video made it super easy. I now have another poster to add to the wall. This makes the 6th expedition I've been able to participate in and complete in a row :) I always wait at least a day before starting the expedition mainly due to the fact that I like to wait for your guide to come out
Dude thank you so much for the help, Stone Ghosts was stupid. The prompt for the quest only tells you to use your signal booster which is ridiculous. Then I started using the planetary charts and ruins weren't showing up and just found out it's a 33% chance. Thanks for the reload trick!
New subscriber, have to say hands down the best guide on UA-cam!!! Please keep making these going forward, I checked other videos of yours great stuff keep going to 100k!!!!!!
Had a similar experience…how did this not come up in beta testing?! Just found enough material for a drink that just got me to the next too small island…so I had to island hop until I finally reached a big enough island to make 5 potions that could protect me all the way back to my ship… I was so fed up 😠
I was a total noob on the last expedition and your vid got me thru nicely. Looking fwd to doing more on my own this time but I know where to go if I run into any roadblock. In rod we trust 😎
2:00 This expedition starts you our with no inventory, skills, or items. Nothing you add to those slots at the beginning will follow you in. Maybe its easier for PC players. But if your console, you do this with only the random ship and basic pistol NMS grants you.
Awesome guide vid Scottish Rod! That Scaly planet in phase 3 actually has 3 of those life forms! 2 different Robot Antelopes and a Walking building! You can knock that one out all in one spot!
My tip is to know how to dive and swim fast by using "boost jumping". This will get you to land quickly, where you can find rocks that give you ferrite dust and di-hydrogen. Just watch a NMS boost jump guide video if needed.
Thank you very much of your walkthrough you're the only one I know do walkthroughs step by step and I really like that thank you keep up what you doing don't stop🎉🎉🎉
One thing to add. Don't take any items with you unless you're willing to possibly lose them because you can't take everything back with you to your main save.
What I do is scrap copied atlantid multi tools from my previous expedition to get void motes, then buy 20 salvaged exo upgrades. Can sell a stack for 6k nanites. O found an atlantid tool you can scrap for 9k void motes, and it's easy to get the mods then save reload and buy more.
I cheesed killing the quadrupeds by going into a random base and killing them through a door lol I had my threat level maxed and there were more than four plus reinforcements, enough to finish the quest quickly It also helped with the boundary horrors and weather so I didn’t waste my time recharging tech
@@ScottishRodthanks! I didn’t have good life support cause I did the expedition with no equipment/ technology from my primary save lol I tend to do that during expeditions so I can have enough space to take back new technology or cargo to my primary. It gets hard but it’s worth it lol
You can kill the eight spider bots without flying around or reloading. If you just stay at one of those spires and keep killing the corrupted sentinels they continue showing up. I use the mec suit
Same here had to swim to different areas just to find basic materials. Also, the constant spawns of the ghosts that made everything so blurry. An annyoing expedition, if it wasn’t for the ship i would’ve abandoned it after 5 minutes.
Ive heard on Reddit some horror stories that doing this expedition DELETES your main game save? Many travelers that have ALL THE STUFF collected over years have had those saves WIPED and had to start over? Have you heard any of this Rod please?
Man I had so much aggravation with the disonant world arachno things, they just wouldnt spawn for me, but at least in the future ill know... hit a glitch --> hit restart
Hi Scottish Rod, unrelated topic but I’m stuck in the corner of my planetary probe room of my freighter and can’t move out of it, I can’t build anything in it and both the autosave and restore save are both in the corner of that room, any ideas as I’ve spent over a thousand hours building what I’ve got
Try joining someone else’s game from your friends list then load the save? That will load you in space in your ship, then you can call in your freighter.
Thanks for the video. I’m glad everyone else enjoyed it but I’m really starting to hate the expeditions. Just getting too far away from what I like about the game.
Can y'all help me I did not see this in the video, in phase 4, what was the other Exotic creature that he found? I know the weird light creature in the ground but what was the other one? I did not see it?
@@BlackCubeSimulation so I just finished it a few hours ago and it gives you the chance to copy the ship with nanites and also claim it at the quicksilver kiosk its an S class it shoots green lasers and a intraknife instead of the traditional protons and rockets
@@ScottishRodI didn’t know I could take my ship and multitool as I am new. If I get them now , will I lose all my upgrades in the rubbish one they gave me? Thanks
you’ll have both ships when you pick up you’re main save one. But you have to have started at the kiosk, not a fresh save and had it selected when you started.
I do not know anything about this game, but im pretty sure all this copying ur ship or multi-tool will cost nanites to do. Others can confirm if im right.
Can someone describe the glythes i need to travel to the two last destinations? I travelled out to a random system and I am lost. The blood thingies aren't working on the portal anymore😅
@@rlm0n0 here’s an other video just remember to have your ship and Multitool active that you want to take with you - ua-cam.com/video/NAjeKxYu4GM/v-deo.htmlsi=kg1jxpyfbYTXGRxY
What do I do if I did not get enough tainted metal and didn't save the signal thing? Can I dupe tainted metal in the refiners or do I need to scrounge 10 mil units to but another coordinate thing?
@@ScottishRod Couldn't! Weirdest bug, I guess I portal hopped to fast or something? I couldn't see anything from that system until I got a glyph address for someone else. I thought I was losing my mind, I tried everything. Easy after that, knocked it out with your tips!
When I was travelling towards the infested planet a portal thing popped up and I went through it. It warped me to another place and now I don't know how to get back to the Gaxaral system as the portal on my first base planet doesn't ask for an elixir of blood to teleport me back to the Galaxal system. Can anyone help or if not can I restart the entire expedition??
I'm supposed to make it last longer than a few hours? 10h in base game gets me to billionaire status with multiple s class ships and more technology slots and cargo slots than to do with. It's at most 10h. Stretch it as thin as you like exploring every bit of every planet to each their own.
Ok guys I finished the expedition at 5am . I went to to leave and the screen went black. The game crashed and and when I tried go back in it was reset back to a new save. This is on Xbox by the way. I deleted local save fully expecting it to be restored from the cloud but no joy. Can anyone help me here. I uploaded a short clip on Xbox showing me arriving to get the UFO. The place was filled with landing pads. How can I get it back? Thanks
Also, can this game please give SOME replay value?! I often find myself staring at the start screen asking whether or not I should play the game. Most times I decide not to. I don't have burnout, I've been playing another game. If they let me keep all of my main save stuff while playing the expedition, I'd be happy. Having to replay a game with ZERO replay value is a chore. A game shouldn't make me back away from it. On a sidenote, I spawned in the ocean with zero dihydrogen for miles. Literally none. The game doomed me from the start 😂
I just finished the expedition went onto my main save and got the ship and put on the helmet... then my game crashed. now the save won't load and keeps erring out. im on ps5. is this save screwed? has this happened to others?
I've seen a few people talk about it on the forums. I'd try booting up the save offline, I'd also report it to the zendesk so it gets patched - hellogames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us You also might also be able to download your save from the cloud if it's been uploaded to that recently but that will take you back to that point.
Just build a small base near the site or enter an already made 1..Get in, out to pop a couple 1s, back in and repeat.. They swarm around the place but don't follow inside.. If they get in they are not hostile..
Why store anything? Why not keep it as is? This is what I don't get. Once you start the Expedition with a pre existing save. You don't have to go through all the hassle of re installing it.
Thanx Rod, for making things a LOT easier for those of us who just don't have the time.👍

Thankyou for this simple straightforward guide. For people not familiar with alot of the recent stuff in NMS, this has been helpful
I have watched so many videos about this but yours is by far the most clear and simple, thanks
At the end you can copy the ship with nanites and also claim it on the kiosk so you can basically get 2 S class expedition ships
You can have up to 12 as long as you don’t end the expedition first
I'm really busy at work this week, but it's good to know I'll have a guide (in a single video) for when I play the Expedition next week. Thanks.
i got the fish at the planet that said it was a "frozen anomoly" (you can also change the difficulty settings for fishing to "automatic catch" if you want, some don't like the fishing part)
you really don't need to bring the haz mat glove, you get one in the rewards of phase 2, for collecting 10 fossils.

Thank you very much, I began NMS with a friend last week-end, and we finished the expedition quickly with your video !
Thanks a bunch, I barely had any time to play the Expedition and this video helped me during the 2 hour countdown.

The Best Guide for this Expedition I have seen. Thanks so much
Thanks very much! Was worried that there was only a couple of days left and this was my first expedition. Your video helped out greatly.
I subscribed because I like that the video was easy to follow, didn't have a lot of rhetoric, had the whole expedition and was time stamped

Just an update: I finished quickly thanks to your guide once again!!! Great content!!!
Excellent guide, Thank you!
Thanks for the helpful information, I had no idea you could bring stuff with you, Ive never used the Kiosk, I just start a new game each time.
Spawned me on an island in the middle of nowhere. Having to swim to another way out in order to try and actually progress

How are y'all actually finding dihydrogen? I'm low on the purple health and cannot find ANY within the nearby area 😅

Thank you for the video, it was very clear and easy to follow. much appreciated o7
Thanks! I am fairly new to game (owned it for years though) and only completed the fishing one. Didn't know about that very last bit in the anomaly!!!
Thanks for the guide - really helped :)
Finally finished thank you so much
2:00 This expedition starts you our with no inventory, skills, or items. Nothing you add to those slots at the beginning will follow you in.
Maybe its easier for PC players. But if your console, you do this with only the random ship and basic pistol NMS grants you.
You get access to the items at the second system.
great NMS guides thank you Rod
Loving the new ship! Very Falcon like!
watch it every expedition great stuff
bro you freaking rock! thanks for this

Thank you it is very helpful and I find you eliminate the corrupt quadurpeds with you ship
I’ve got to try that. I’m doing so bad with this. During a recent expedition I had no problem. For some reason this time they’re killing me.
Sadly missed this expedition! Hopefully it makes it way back eventually
I think this will get the end of year redux runs
Nice one wee man
thank you!
FYI Plaques count for ancient ruin also

I got glassy stare on the derelict freighter. There were eyes in some of the loot boxes.
Shooting the cursed critters in the crotch/mouth area tends to do more damage. I aim for where all of the tentacles come together.
Very helpfull. The tip of "Arachnophobia" was great!
How the supercharged slots in you new ship are disposed? I didn't get 4 supercharged together. :(
A lot of these milestone missions are bugged and or not working on PSVR2. Will definitely need to finish this one without VR

My advice, don't rush it, take your time and enjoy the story.
Or sorta rush it since 2 weeks really isn't that long.
Well rush it a bit
I'm supposed to make it last longer than a few hours? 10h in base game gets me to billionaire status with multiple s class ships and more technology slots and cargo slots than to do with. It's at most 10h. Stretch it as thin as you like exploring every bit of every planet to each their own.
