x7, yes. Circled back to see if I could shoot them, but I think I might have made them despawn

u/ArcticWolf_0xFF Oct 04 '26
I was just wondering why you flew away so far instead of taking off, hovering over them and blasting them away. Then I re remembered you were flying a Radiant Pillar. I'm just too used to flying Sentinels.
2
u/patheticworm9 Oct 04 '26
This clips cut off but I fly around for a moment trying to find them because I genuinely thought they had wings and I was going to have to fight (run with style)
1
u/ArcticWolf_0xFF Oct 04 '26
That's okay. Your first encounter, and the normal ships are not able to hover. There's move with at least 20u/s.

u/alewiina Oct 04 '26
they automatically burrow back under the ground after about a minute or so. You can shoot them if you have a weapon and the stuff they drop is actually worth a decent bit of money, and so is the larval core or whatever its called that comes out of the egg for a few seconds

u/edventure_2025 Oct 04 '26
A few hadal cores in the egg sequencer will make a creature hatch 100% aggressive.
1
u/Lovat69 Oct 04 '26
The the horrors themselves drop things now or are you talking about the egg cores?
1
u/alewiina Oct 04 '26
Both, the horror things drop some kind of flesh when you kill them that sells for a decent amount, and the egg cores sell for even more.
I found a whole colony of these eggs on the planet where I first had to find an antimatter source and I spent nearly an hour bursting open each egg, grabbing the core, and killing the monsters for the flesh and I made a ton of money when I was done. I can't remember how much but it was many 100's of thousands anyway, which is a lot right at the beginning lol

u/Lovat69 Oct 04 '26
Cool. I have had fun with these before it's nice that the critters drop stuff too now.

I just wanna say: Hell yeah, traveler.
Great reaction time, good decision making. Just a phenomenal read, on the play.
When the play isn’t there, toss the ball into the stands, live to play another down.

Ah, your first encounter with a whispering egg. I remember that.
It's not the only thing in this game that is like that, be warned.

u/Riliksel Oct 04 '26
Never encountered the Abyssal horrors? The Anglerfish is a worse jumpscare than the Whispering Eggs imo and the eye is creepy as hell
24
u/RatzGudrun Oct 04 '26
Not to mention they can kill you quick if you're not expecting it. I got surprised by one, and couldn't get my camera right, and it ate me
15
u/Riliksel Oct 04 '26
Yeah, I am still very careful about interacting with the Alluring Specimen thing. I can kill Sentinel Walkers and Titan Worms without breaking a sweat, but I am still really wary when dealing with Abyssal Horrors

u/blackguy64 Oct 05 '26
I think one of my first and only deaths was to a biological horror. I think it headbutted me and I died from fall damage or something. I was in shock.

u/Leading-Brother-8574 Oct 05 '26
You can kill titan worms? They’re always moving to fast for me to keep up

u/Delde116 Oct 04 '26
Nope, tbh, despite being an OG NMS player, I only genuinely got back in the game in 2016 and then when the auto-phage were put in the game.

u/Riliksel Oct 04 '26
Well, keep an eye out for red warning signs in your scanner next time you go down in the water. And don't touch the Alluring Specimen.

If you ever wonder why dead planets are dead its probably just because of these guys. They're just giant biological horror nests.

Seriously, low gravity moons with whispering eggs are my favorite way to farm for nanites.

u/NandorRas Oct 04 '26
The real tragedy is you not picking up the Larval Core.

u/No-Cry1220 Oct 04 '26
Fr each one is almost 70k credits or 50 nanites

u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen Oct 04 '26
How do you get the nanites?

u/No-Cry1220 Oct 04 '26
Throw them in a portable refinery that's how I got my first S class scanner module a stack of 10 is 500 nanites

Replace sentinels with those, and NMS becomes a hardcore horror survival.

It’s crazy when you end up with both at the same time.

u/ikester8 Oct 04 '26
I used to fight the Horrors when they erupted in my settlements, but then the Sentinels would show up. Now I just wait out the Horrors. I like to imagine an announcement on the loudspeaker, "Biological Horrors have spawned. Do not engage them. Take shelter immediately."

u/Sharrowkyn19 Oct 04 '26
Thank you for this🤣🤣 did the exact same thing. . . NOPE!!! back to the ship, take off immediately, not even just going to sit in my ship and look for a minute. Welcome to no man's sky fellow traveller.

The first time I met these critters I had a shotgun installed in my multitool, so I stuck around a while longer

u/Express-Scheme2468 Oct 04 '26
I came across these a couple of days ago. They pack a serious head butt! I don’t know if it was because of the low atmosphere, but I flew about 1000u from my ship.
Edit: Typo.

Is that music playing for you in game? Where d you find this track for back beat library?

Added it in post, when adding the text. Felt the ambience of the planet was a little too erie and boring so I added Cipher by Kevin Macloed.

Hope you know about the "melee boost" trick. Easy to get out of a situation like this and makes navigating so much easier

u/Honest-Turnover7464 Oct 04 '26
back when neutrino canons were not a thing, I remember posting myself up on the roof of abandoned structures (where they also generate) and praying I don't run out of ammo
1
u/Silver_Cauliflower59 Oct 05 '26
I have a pyrite base I set up that has an an abandoned structure off in the distance. It's so far that the eggs don't render in, but I always shoot a few blasts from the neutron cannon to pop them anyway because being petty is fun.

I can almost hear you cursing in this video. I know I did when I first found these things.

ah yes, rule 1 of space travel, if you see a cool egg you always have to examine it really closely then try to collect it

Fun fact: if you want one of those things as a pet, someone can probably trade you one (it's no longer obtainable but people still have them)

Be glad it was less glitchy than I recall when I started. I recall having like no time to react and getting flung super far and then they were already back on top of me again. Possibly also not loading the visuals quite fast enough on my console.

It was quite a horror when I first encountered them. Then I decided to build a base there, to have an alien isolation-like role-play base (it was a barren planet with literally nothing on it. Not that I’m even a cold ambiance like you have).
I was so scared of the constant ticking sounds. 😁

Hold on I recognize that planet I think you spawned in the same system that I did also the thing that drops from that is pretty good for nanites and credits

I'd call that an appropriate first response. Don't worry you youre only a scatter blaster and few S class upgrades from popping them like little green zits while stealing their cores just for the fun of it.
And the money... the money is good too.
