Complete the Leviathan Expedition in no mans sky, a permadeath time loop event running for six weeks starting late May 2022.

The Leviathan Expedition is a new event in no mans sky, arriving with game version 3.90 and beyond. It started at the end of May 2022 and is scheduled to run for about six weeks. This event aims to provide a unique gameplay experience, immersing players in a permadeath time loop where death resets the loop. The narrative centers on players seeking to break this curse and uncovering a story involving an ancient space creature known as The Leviathan.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon starting the Leviathan Expedition, you will find yourself on a dangerously hot planet. Your immediate priority is to reach your ship before succumbing to the heat. All players participating in the expedition at the same time will have their ships located together. Look for the ship icon on your compass.
  2. 2
    Once at your ship, you will begin a series of events and mini side-quests to earn rewards. Some tasks are simple, such as dying or accessing memory fragments in your inventory.
  3. 3
    To progress, you will need to repair your ship. This requires crafting a Hermetic Seal using Condensed Carbon. You will need to gather Carbon, build a Refiner, and then refine it.
  4. 4
    As you complete milestones across the five Iterations of the expedition, remember to collect your rewards. Access the Expeditions tab via the Escape menu to claim rewards such as Memory Fragments, which can unlock enhancements for your gear, or basic resources.
Tips
  • Prioritize reaching your ship immediately upon starting, as the starting planet is hazardous.
  • Collect rewards as you complete milestones to make your progress easier.
