Struggling to find the Hermetic Seal in No Man's Sky? Follow our easy guide to locate the abandoned Holo Library and get the crafting recipe.

Alright, so you need the Hermetic Seal to fix up your ship, huh? Don't worry, it's way easier now than it used to be. Forget needing a Signal Booster; we just need a Planetary Chart. You can grab one from that machine right by your spaceship. Just a heads-up, each chart is a one-shot deal, so pay attention when you use it, or things can get a little confusing later on!

Once you use the chart, it'll point you towards an abandoned Holo Library. Before you head out, take a moment to scan your surroundings and grab any Sodium and Oxygen from the nearby plants – you'll probably need them.

Keep an eye on the sky, too. Depending on how long this takes, you might run into a radiation storm. If that happens, either duck back into your ship until it passes or make a dash for the Holo Library. There are some caves along the way you can use as emergency shelter if you get caught out.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Follow the marker from your Planetary Chart until you reach the abandoned Holo Library. It looks like two similar buildings; head into the one on the right.
  2. 2
    Once inside, look around and interact with the object at the far end of the room.
  3. 3
    Then, find the Holo Archive terminal on the left-hand wall and interact with it.
  4. 4
    After a brief chat, it'll give you the Hermetic Seal and its crafting recipe. Sweet! Now, it's time to head back to your ship and get it patched up.

On your way back, there shouldn't be any more storms, so just watch out for any grumpy animals and you should make it back to your ship without any trouble.

Tips
  • Grab any Sodium and Oxygen you see from plants before you leave.
  • Watch out for radiation storms; use caves or your ship for shelter.
  • Head into the right building of the abandoned Holo Library.
  • Interact with the object at the far end before using the Holo Archive terminal.

Now that you've got the Hermetic Seal, hop back into your cockpit. Open your inventory, select your Pulse Engine, and you'll see a screen where you can apply the Hermetic Seal to repair it. And that's it! You've successfully found the Hermetic Seal, something many players find tricky. We'll be here to update this if Hello Games ever changes the method again, but for now, you're all set!
