Seeing lots of questions about this, so hoping a single thread will help (maybe get this stickied or something?)

Phase 5 Step 3 of Expedition 2 requires you to get the Myth Beacon from the Quicksilver agent. But Oh No – it seems to be locked! That’s because this portion requires THE ENTIRE NO MAN’S SKY COMMUNITY to work together to progress it.

HOW DO I HELP?

The previous step only asked you to visit 3 ancient artefacts and scan them for Polo and Nada. That’s the minimum requirement. You can help by doing MORE THAN 3. There are two ways to do this efficiently:

1. Go sell all of your Navigation Data for Planetary Charts, and start using them!
2. Unlock the scanner modules for your Exocraft, find a big planet, and start scanning!

Either way, sending this scan data to Polo is what drives the progression, so the more you do, the faster we get to 100%

HOW DO I CHECK THE PERCENTAGE?

If you’re in-game, you can visit the Quicksilver merchant on board the Anomaly. You can also select the related mission in your Primary Log tab to see the status.

But honestly, that’s kind of a pain. It’s much easier to use this site: https://galacticatlas.nomanssky.com/poi/anomalous-research

HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO GET THIS DONE?

Well, technically, we have 13 days (14 days from Monday, May 17th). HOWEVER, we’re only on Step 3 of 5, so who knows what will be required for Steps 4 and 5. Thus, the faster we can get through this step, the faster we can find out what else might be needed from the community.

I remembered being extremely excited when No Man’s Sky was set to release. I preordered the game and was hooked from the get go. I played the heck out of the base version, did pretty much everything you could back then and just sorta moved on to other games as you do.

Fast forward a few years and I recently decided to dive back in again, this time on the PS5 and I’m just blown away by the amount of content this game has received since launch. Back then there wasn’t all that much to do really looking back. I’ve been trying my hand at various activities, freighters, settlements and stuff.

I remembered it being a LOT easier to get credits from mining though lol. I recently had a streak of good luck though. I spent a few hours mining and managed to get about 8 million credits. Came across a system with an S Class Multi-tool Rifle and then I only had 3 million credits left 🤣.

I pulled in to the anomaly last night, left to go cook dinner, came back and saw that someone had given me stuff. After doing some research online I found out that the 5 “Stasis Device” they had given me were worth a fortune! Thanks random person! Yes I was still flying my Radiant Pillar since I hadnt changed ships yet.

A few hours later, I’m system hopping to look for a new ship and I’ll be blown away if an Exotic doesn’t land right in front of me. Wasn’t cheap but now I’ve got an S Class Multi-tool and Ship. Now the grind begins to upgrade everything. I’m going to be playing for a long while I think. See you out in the stars!

P.S How good does Light No Fire look? I’ll be jumping on that when it drops 😀
