not sure if I'm lucky or unlucky, but there is a solar system one jump from my starting one that has those worms on every planet. It's a dope solar system though and the planets are great for farming cooking ingredients... except for one that I've named oblivion x2
I see the larva all the time, but I was genuinely terrified on my first encounter, I tend to fly on first person so imagine my surprise when I get pulled out of hyper and see this gigantic eye of Sauron staring right into my soul, taking up most of the screen
First time was pretty scary and was not expecting it - something about the primeval animal in me made me open fire immediately but it turns out if you don't he leaves you be which is nice
I just encountered one today and I was like "oh what would this give me?" So I shot it like I do with most things and I just got Laser beamed out of existence because my shield was broken from a prior attack
I recently encountered my first Abyssal Horror while underwater, and was not expecting it and was quite shocked to to see an eye open and start watching me.
@@AndreVandal bro listen 💀 I already have thalassaphobia so when i decided to jump into water and explore and go down to the depth and an eye just looked at me…….
@@rhythm854 I know right, still today. There is also another one can't remember the name, it's this ugly fish hiding in a bush and as soon as you touch that thing start chasing you

The worse one for me is the predator that you don't see, when exploring a cave and the beastie is on the surface but still seems to be able to reach through solid rock and do damage or kill you.
You think that's bad one time I landed on a aggressive planet now I have experience I have 400 hours into the gamel. you would think tunneling away from the Sentinels would be a safe option well one day it was not the case for me, I was just digging my tunnel then restoring back the terrain where it was and all of a sudden a Sentinel just poped right through the terrain where I was tunneling and what exact reaction was " WTH HOW DE FUK DID YOUR GAS GET IN HERE" And I dug straight up and just Halled gas
The worst predator I’ve faced so far was a sentient ball that looked like the meaty chunk texture blown up to be massive. Their charge attack bartered me as a young traveler and my only way to explore the planet was but seeing them first and starting to lower their health before they started rolling. Still killed me multiple times
Luckily the creature that spawn from horrifying nests can be taken out very easily with the neutron cannon and you can also make sure that you don’t end up facing a whole swarm of them by bursting the nests yourself one at a time and dealing with the smaller swarms Edit: it’s extremely bizarre that the sentinels consider killing an invasive species a crime
I actually like destroying several eggs at once and spawning multiple creatures. It gives me a strong Doom/Quake vibe and I like it, because I grew up playing those games.

I know i'm late to the video, just returned recently to NMS and found your channel. Good work my man!!
My biggest jumpscare was yesterday when one of those enormous worms you can see to the right at 7:43 decided to come up through the ground just where I stood. Didn't take damage but jeez it scared me
@@johnnierowe9866 I have a base on a paradise planet. Green grass that glows in pattern, bubbles coming out the ground, purple sky, blue water. The dream. Then 2 hours into base building, a 70 foot long sand worm comes flying out the ground and flies about 100 meters before plummeting straight back into the ground. Funny thing is, he only spawns and flies around where my base is. Never seen him anywhere else on the planet lmfao. Now whenever I decide to travel in an exocraft I ALWAYS end up falling in a massive hole that I didn't know he made and now I'm on an unexpected excursion underground. Its like having a giant untrained dog that won't stop digging in the yard 😭
I still remember the first time I not only encountered an abyssal horror, but it was an angler fish. I was out exploring on the beach when I saw *Alluring Specimen* pop up on my visor, and so I went to go check it out. I had to dig inside a tunnel to find the giant plant thing and took one of the Hadal cores and all seemed well, so I dropped my guard and took another one only to be met by a knockback, missing half my health and that God awful screech. I panicked because I couldn't find the exit, my oxygen was running low and I couldn't see what attacked me, only a green light (which was probably because it was stuck in a wall). I pulled myself together and found the exit, swam to shore and walked away from the game for a solid 3 minutes after that. I get PTSD everytime I hear one of those things.
I was lying in bed this morning rememberin' all the things that have killed me... and it got me thinkin'... I literally ran into #6 while watching #3 Scariest NMS moments for me: (All on PD) First time on a derelict... triggered 4 brood sacs First time encountering the giant worms (missed the Expedition) everything but the storm... #1: I was amongst the first at the Space Anomaly when players figured out how to get Minotaur's and Starships inside and murdered anyone with PvP enabled. By pure chance, I'd turned it off just hours earlier. If not for that, my 250hour PD save would have been victim #4. Hats off to Professor Cynical & the volunteers who spent 2 days defending the Anomaly, until HG fixed.
I remember my first encounter with the angler fish, the single scariest moment I’ve had while playing nms! Now that I know where they can come from, I’m going to tell my friends to go to the pretty lights in the sea lol
The only jump scare I got was my first time encountering the big fish. I didn't know about it when I first encoutered it either, but I was pretty strong and took it out pretty quick.
While disturbing the worm lairs. bad storms worms attacking, burrowing companions and sentinels is such a challenge… but it’s worth it for those nanites hahaha
I always found it faster to go to a dissonant planet and harvest radiant shards... and inverted mirrors, and hyaline brains... after goofing of on those planets for an hour, I can easily get 40k-50k worth of nanites from the junk I collect
I remember being a newbie setting up an active indium farm in this reddish trippy planet, the whole place was red, with swaying huge plants and some dinosaur like predator, but the scariest ones were this small leech fast af creature that could ambush you, I was like "nope, nope, nope" and dodged our of there lol. NMS can really catch you off guard hah.
Really? I found the Sentinels to be pretty underwhelming. Most of them just hover or stand there either doing nothing or try doing their best impersonation of a Stormtrooper. Even on Permadeath, they are pretty lackluster.
@@KamikaziiKidd If your a beginner player and knoe nothing about them and not prepared, They are easily a threat, Plus sentinel walker mk2 sentinel quads and frieghters are threats even if you're decked out.
@@agamerdude7596 That's your opinion that I 100% disagree with. I've only been playing for 3 months and I have 600 hours already. I found the enemies of NMS, even on Permadeath to be really weak. Honestly, they might as well remove them since they aren't really doing much. Half the time they just sit there doing nothing but looking at you and on the off chance they do fire at you, they miss way more than they hit. You pretty much have to want to die to them. The Walkers are the worst as they just walk around not doing damage and when they attack, they just stand still and do a lame beam attack that can't hit you if you are moving...Same with the Quads. Not the most mechanically demanding enemies. If that's difficult to you... Oh boy. Also, I haven't found a derelict freighter that I can't just run through...If they were that much of a threat, I wouldn't be able to do that.
@@KamikaziiKidd tbh they need to revamp all the enemies and make them tougher with better rewards, all the sentinels are is just free nanite farms as you extract the salvaged glass and sell the modules.
I love roaming Derelict Freighters, but the most scary thing about the swarm are the pulsating sacks when it knows your there. Hate that. The scariest thing for me are actually black holes, the sound they give off when you're near them, and just the blackest of black centers.. no *shivers*
When that thing came out of that Hadal Cores cluster I was just thinking "this looks a lot like an anglerfish lure" and then I pooped and peed and swam screaming
The scariest thing I've encountered was bizarre. It was a planet of mostly water that I stumbled upon in my early-ish days of no man's sky, there wasn't much of anything on the few bits of solid surface but as soon as I went underwater... Throughout the entire planet was hundreds of abnormally large hostile jellyfish or octopus that were covered in eyes
My scariest encounter was a massive sand worm that lived on a deserted sand planet. There was only one but it was extremely big and I mean big! It made a very low pitched roar and could not be killed.
Except the standard sentinels. They're fun to bully around, shoving them with your own body and they just take it. Or mine stuff in front of them and they don't attack you because they weren't staring at you in the exact moment when you destroyed something next to them.
I was showing my brother and dad how weird blue star systems can be and witnessed my first immortal worm. I was headed up a hill, then a rumble, and bam! It freaked me out so bad lol. Super cool, I love running into cool and terrifying stuff in this game. Reminds me of being 8 and getting scared cos I zoomed too far out on google earth lmao
I’m new to nms, and recently found a water planets, I loved it! The I found some kind of collectable plant, and picked it, I got ONE, then the next was the antenna of a big ass angler fish, never going down there until I get the sub
i never knew about the Asteroid Larvae, curiously yesterday, in my first expedition in three years playing the game, i spawned with a first shot of that thing looking at my in the sky...i was thinking if that just happened to me, or that is kind of a programed spawn for everyone. But no, is a rare creature, and more rare is that i spawned in front of it in my very first expedition...i just can't stop thinking about it
@@gabrielarangua4499 Same happened to me. I could see it from the ground after finding my ship. I was like: WTF is that?! Luckily it didn't do anything when I left the planet
The worst one for me was when I fealt strong enough in my permadeath save to visit bases in the anomaly. I got there and tried to finish a creature contract. I got one shot killed by this by a slew footed triceratops the height of a giraffe. This thing just ran me over and it all went black. I had the coolest starship and an S class Capital ship man.
"The greatest fear is the unseen" And yes I don't play permadeath mode since you are asking to get murdered by a glitched animal or some other random bs
@@cideltacommand7169 meanwhile i'm tempted to try permadeath cause i have yet to die or ever feel threatened by anything other than my own plasma canon. as atmospheric as this game can be few things feel truly lethal, especially with max shields and hp.
Got a really weird glitch with my Helmet going on! First i was thinking Hello Games was doing something like a Halloween Joke. Looks like it is glitched forever. Looks cool though!
Mine was today I saw a cluster of huge octopus tentacles with no head, no body, no eyes, no mouth just flying and moving in such a disgusting way I had to close the game
Not the scariest or most deadly enemy, but one that surprised me: if you accidentally hit a passing NPC ship with your mining beam, it pisses off the pilot and they will relentlessly pursue and strafe you non-stop until you get into your own ship -- after which they run like hell. I had one follow me for hours, even while I was in caves or underwater -- and they can hit you underwater. It's actually quite fun, and so now I piss off NPC's on purpose just to have some action while I explore.
I juat got a whispering lavae thats worth 590,361 units but it says if you hold it for so long it has a curse that something will stalk me from galaxy to galaxy
when they added the swarm, i would sit there and play it over and over again, coming up with a different story everytime, i genuinely love that i can play it sneaky or just release mayhem and wake them all up
Hey, just found your channel after my friend started playing no mans sky and urged me to play. As of right now I'm downloading it and loving all your videos. Wish I had shown up before October 21st to help nominate you . *And now to watch the vid*
Those abbysal horror fish was by far my scariest experience as a new player, the sound and the size of this fish thing just suddenly chasing you under water was more than I could bear at the time, had to take a moment after that encounter
I barely have any hostile entities on my planet but the planet can reach tempratures of -96 degrees Celsius. Even though that planet may be quite bad the solar system I’m in is even worse cause every planet has an hostile enviroment and barely any resources.
Most terrifying for me, was the giant sand worm. I was just chilling on a random planet collecting resources when I heard a noise, turn around and what do you know, I see a GIANT worm barrelling towards me.
(Warning this may not be entirely accurate to what happened- it’s just what I remember) I just got the game recently and at instead of starting a survival game I started a creative one just to fly around and get a feel for the game. I got off the planet and started warping to a planet and I got stopped from warping because an asteroid larvae appeared and I was very surprised, and I can confirm that these are quite terrifying. (I ended up escaping eventually)
I have played many horror games from dead space, almost every resident evil game etc. But none have literally made me sweat from anxiety/fear compared to exploring the universe of no man's sky lol. I remember warping into that same eye and said NOPE!!
It's probably the asteriod larva and the ocean abyssal horror for me. I encountered my first ones each at a very awkward moment defensively and it left an impression. The biological horrors, if I know they're going to rise up, can be dealt with by calling down my freighter and standing on it's roof. I sometimes carve trenches as well to slow some down. There's still the acid to dodge, but otherwise it is a turkey shoot. I've not encountered the combined level of insanity that's #2 on the list, but it looks like one of those things that's exhilarating if you survive.
The most scariest thing i vr seen in no man sky was a giant worm that i encounter in a planet, its huge, but i guess they dont attack, but can kill you with a hearth attack. Its just like the "normal" worms in the video but it s 200% bigger
Ive been playing nearly a month and just encountered those giant worms yesterday and it was so cool. I had no idea anything like that existed in the game
There is a planet that is rocky (haven't played in a while) with giant striped, purple and blue elephant like creatures with mouth tentacles and it's head is a crest that it's eyes sit on that overlap into 3 rows and stand angled, like moose horns. They look exactly like the elephant alien things from the avatar movie and they are hostile as hell. Giant short tailed rats with human hands too, very creepy place imo. More creatures there too There is another planet made up of only islands with like..no color, it's black and white. Except small hints of red and green in the atmosphere, and prehistoric looking palm trees that create thick forest, cratered also. Herds of whale headed striders litter the landscape and there are jet black tiger like beast with the heads of flies and long thick tails that travel alone, and sneak up on you. The worst thing there however are the packs of six eyed green, alien headed things that are the size of a t rex and have a body like one except they have human hands that curl downward. They hunt you endlessly and are extremely vicious and kos. On a lighter note, I've been too an erupting planet that had these huge 4 legged scaled beast with spined fins on it's fore limbs and it's back. Its head looked like a hadrosaur and it was gentle as could be. I killed it lol.
I have only ever died _twice_ in No Man's Sky, both during the Leviathan expedition. One was dying to a random bug that flung me into the terrain at mach 6, and the other was a hostile predator on one of the worlds. It was fast, it hit like a truck and I had no chance against it.
I remember landing on an irradiated planet and saw a pack (?) of literally flying eels (with no wings, mind you) that scared me so much that I left the planet this instant.
Thank you so much for that underwater warning. I legit have no idea what it could be I'm so excited to log my first one. Enjoy your travels, starwalker.
i'm a new player (got the game at christmas and became obsessed) so i had my first encounter with a derelict freighter recently. it was that moment when i realized NMS was a horror game in disguise.
I've encountered the asteroid larva! When using up my collection of Anomaly Detectors, of course. Was still really cool. I don't find the Biological Horrors terrifying, they look pretty goofy. Especially since their back legs are always up in the air for me. Well, that and I always cheese them by standing on the abandoned building roofs. I do think my best jumpscare was when finding a calcified planet, I got the one with the ossified stars as its reality glitch, and indeed the wandering ones were aggressive. I didn't expect one to suddenly roll into me!
The neutron cannon combined with a paralysis mortar has quickly become my go-to choice for dealing with the swarm. Freeze 'em all and let the splash damage fly while quickly collecting all Living Slime in the zone.
Used to be terrified of Abyssal Horrors. But I assembled a seriously jacked-up Pulse Spitter on one of my Multitools, for Derelict Freighter missions. I found that it also works beautifully for hosing down AHs at range. Now, I hunt them. :)
I began my first playthrough of NMS in the worlds update. The second time I was jumping ever in my ship, leaving the space station, an asteroid larvae spawned. I had no idea it existed, and I needed to change my pants moments later. 60+ hours in and only the angler fish thing has scared me that much lol.
I have encountered the one on 10:09, it can jump, and it will not let you go until you leave that area, I love it, I think they should add more of them
It'd be cool to see some Lovecraftian figures and encounters in No Man's Sky. Imagine a narrative or mission where you eventually discover that what you encountered is completely out of your control, and only reveals how small you are compared to the universe around you.
God, those hadal cores scared the life out of me when I first harvested them. Mostly combined with the screaming lack of background music when underwater. To this day, whenever I see one, I immediately turn my volume completely off, as I’m a very jumpy and stressed person lol
THE WHIRLING BONE THINGIES omg... I almost soiled my pants when i first saw them... they were red and white... whirled like razors moving underground.... dude those zergling lookalikes were like walk in the park next to them
Luckily I haven't really encountered any horror creatures YET. Only been playing for about a week, had a run in with some big cat things on a frozen extreme planet while farming Storm Crystals, but apart from them I have been lucky. Not been underwater yet.
I was doing a hardcore permadeath run just yesterday, was doing a mission involving feeding creatures on a planet when i had apparently hit a large herbivore when melee boosting, one of its friends was nearby and swiftly attacked, my sheild popped and i was at 1 health left with just one attack. That was the most i ever panicked. It's not even the predators you have to worry about because they let you know they're hostile, the real ones you gotta watch out for is pissing off the herbivores that will fight back.
i'd say at least for new players the sentinel walker is one of the most formidable enemies in the game, seeing as they can take a lot of damage and basically control entire areas when hostile. the hardframe minotaur sentinel is also pretty difficult to fight if you arent prepared although lesser than the walker.
I just started recently and the anglerfish really made me jump. The game itself is really relaxing and i normally dont get caught off guard that easily but i really wasnt expecting something like that from a game which feels quite harmless most of the time.
No Man's Sky is a game that i really loved to play, because i love everything about space and universe, unfortunately sounds stupid that im also terrified of it, so playing this game for me is a rollercoaster of emotions 😊
The planets that are filled with those giant mechanical globe heads has the creepiest bgm. I often glance around while mining half expecting one of them to turn and thunder roll at me for looting their resources. If they ever patched that in without warning I would probably throw my controller in terror lol.
When I started playing, I was curious about Whispering Eggs. Knew nothing at the time so the event lead to instant death. Few years later and I've grown to engage in combat. Though the Alluring enemy I had zero clue about. Never interacted with it. But the Tendrils, Monstrosities, Sentinels and harsh weather? Bring it on!
The first time I encountered the Screaming Abyssal Horror I literally screamed out loud. I'm audio sensitive and was wearing headphones, I've never once been scared like that in a video game before. They still terrify me lol.
Its not even worth messing with the worms anymore lol. But nah man the worst part is actually the lack of visibility during storms. So when you're surrounded by 3 threats simultaneously you can't even see a clear plane of retreat
First time I encountered the angler fish abyssal terror, it killed me with one bite before I even saw what had burst from the formation. It surprised the heck out of me, and I was paranoid of those underwater features for a while after.
I recently landed on a planet and jumped out of my ship in the middle of a herd of predators and had to run for my life. It was glorious.
IT WAS GLORIOUS🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why did I read that last bit in Gru's voice?
@@Social_Chameleon 🤣

I’ve had the same damn experience and it changed me. If I get out of my ship, I’m using the visor to check for those damn red beacons.

Really? I found the Sentinels to be pretty underwhelming. Most of them just hover or stand there either doing nothing or try doing their best impersonation of a Stormtrooper.
Even on Permadeath, they are pretty lackluster.
@@KamikaziiKidd If your a beginner player and knoe nothing about them and not prepared, They are easily a threat, Plus sentinel walker mk2 sentinel quads and frieghters are threats even if you're decked out.
@@agamerdude7596 That's your opinion that I 100% disagree with.
I've only been playing for 3 months and I have 600 hours already. I found the enemies of NMS, even on Permadeath to be really weak. Honestly, they might as well remove them since they aren't really doing much. Half the time they just sit there doing nothing but looking at you and on the off chance they do fire at you, they miss way more than they hit. You pretty much have to want to die to them.
The Walkers are the worst as they just walk around not doing damage and when they attack, they just stand still and do a lame beam attack that can't hit you if you are moving...Same with the Quads.
Not the most mechanically demanding enemies. If that's difficult to you...
Oh boy.
Also, I haven't found a derelict freighter that I can't just run through...If they were that much of a threat, I wouldn't be able to do that.
@@KamikaziiKidd tbh they need to revamp all the enemies and make them tougher with better rewards, all the sentinels are is just free nanite farms as you extract the salvaged glass and sell the modules.
@@KamikaziiKidd 🤣 Big man.
On my spawn planet there were these tiny teddy bear looking predators and it was hilarious watching them run after me
u have the best no man's sky content on all of TH-cam right now keep it up!!
Thanks for the kind words. I'll do my best!
I love roaming Derelict Freighters, but the most scary thing about the swarm are the pulsating sacks when it knows your there. Hate that. The scariest thing for me are actually black holes, the sound they give off when you're near them, and just the blackest of black centers.. no *shivers*
When that thing came out of that Hadal Cores cluster I was just thinking "this looks a lot like an anglerfish lure" and then I pooped and peed and swam screaming
The scariest thing I've encountered was bizarre.
It was a planet of mostly water that I stumbled upon in my early-ish days of no man's sky, there wasn't much of anything on the few bits of solid surface but as soon as I went underwater...
Throughout the entire planet was hundreds of abnormally large hostile jellyfish or octopus that were covered in eyes
My scariest encounter was a massive sand worm that lived on a deserted sand planet. There was only one but it was extremely big and I mean big! It made a very low pitched roar and could not be killed.
"what are the most terrifying enemies in NMS?"
Yes
Except the standard sentinels. They're fun to bully around, shoving them with your own body and they just take it. Or mine stuff in front of them and they don't attack you because they weren't staring at you in the exact moment when you destroyed something next to them.
Dude! I loved this "One of the scariest games in the world" 🤣
First time i saw an abysal horror i had entered my inventory and when i left the inv i was right up in its face
i got attacked by a swarm of t-rex looking aliens once.
I was showing my brother and dad how weird blue star systems can be and witnessed my first immortal worm. I was headed up a hill, then a rumble, and bam! It freaked me out so bad lol. Super cool, I love running into cool and terrifying stuff in this game. Reminds me of being 8 and getting scared cos I zoomed too far out on google earth lmao
I remember seeing those huge worms fly from the sky into the floor far from my base. It looked amazing since there was a sunrise right behind it.
bro that larva is literally just the eye of sauron in a worm 😂
I’m new to nms, and recently found a water planets, I loved it!
The I found some kind of collectable plant, and picked it, I got ONE, then the next was the antenna of a big ass angler fish, never going down there until I get the sub
I wish they would add an eldritch horror update. I would love to see giant horror level space gods in the game.
Great idea....spice things up
i never knew about the Asteroid Larvae, curiously yesterday, in my first expedition in three years playing the game, i spawned with a first shot of that thing looking at my in the sky...i was thinking if that just happened to me, or that is kind of a programed spawn for everyone. But no, is a rare creature, and more rare is that i spawned in front of it in my very first expedition...i just can't stop thinking about it
@@gabrielarangua4499 Same happened to me. I could see it from the ground after finding my ship. I was like: WTF is that?!
Luckily it didn't do anything when I left the planet
The worst one for me was when I fealt strong enough in my permadeath save to visit bases in the anomaly. I got there and tried to finish a creature contract. I got one shot killed by this by a slew footed triceratops the height of a giraffe. This thing just ran me over and it all went black. I had the coolest starship and an S class Capital ship man.
"The greatest fear is the unseen"
And yes I don't play permadeath mode since you are asking to get murdered by a glitched animal or some other random bs
@@cideltacommand7169 meanwhile i'm tempted to try permadeath cause i have yet to die or ever feel threatened by anything other than my own plasma canon. as atmospheric as this game can be few things feel truly lethal, especially with max shields and hp.
Got a really weird glitch with my Helmet going on! First i was thinking Hello Games was doing something like a Halloween Joke. Looks like it is glitched forever. Looks cool though!
Mine was today
I saw a cluster of huge octopus tentacles with no head, no body, no eyes, no mouth just flying and moving in such a disgusting way I had to close the game
0:11 Subnautica players: 👀
@@Krash2o I’m with you
I played subnautica to
3:42 !!! SpongeBob's Pineapple You found it 🤯
Not the scariest or most deadly enemy, but one that surprised me: if you accidentally hit a passing NPC ship with your mining beam, it pisses off the pilot and they will relentlessly pursue and strafe you non-stop until you get into your own ship -- after which they run like hell. I had one follow me for hours, even while I was in caves or underwater -- and they can hit you underwater. It's actually quite fun, and so now I piss off NPC's on purpose just to have some action while I explore.
Lol yep I missed an asteroid and ended up in a space battle
I juat got a whispering lavae thats worth 590,361 units but it says if you hold it for so long it has a curse that something will stalk me from galaxy to galaxy
when they added the swarm, i would sit there and play it over and over again, coming up with a different story everytime, i genuinely love that i can play it sneaky or just release mayhem and wake them all up
Hey, just found your channel after my friend started playing no mans sky and urged me to play.
As of right now I'm downloading it and loving all your videos.
Wish I had shown up before October 21st to help nominate you .
*And now to watch the vid*
Those abbysal horror fish was by far my scariest experience as a new player, the sound and the size of this fish thing just suddenly chasing you under water was more than I could bear at the time, had to take a moment after that encounter
Those massive worms scared the crap out of me when I first encountered them. I'm surprised they aren't number one.
They are very terrifying
Biological horrors are a easter egg for the movie pitch black
Do not stare back into the eye. Do not stare back. Do not stare back.
didn't know that sauron was a larvae in the space
I barely have any hostile entities on my planet but the planet can reach tempratures of -96 degrees Celsius. Even though that planet may be quite bad the solar system I’m in is even worse cause every planet has an hostile enviroment and barely any resources.
Most terrifying for me, was the giant sand worm. I was just chilling on a random planet collecting resources when I heard a noise, turn around and what do you know, I see a GIANT worm barrelling towards me.
Terrifying indeed
These worms just make me want ant to leave the planet but they are almost on every planet and can even come out of the water
The first time I encountered those titan worms. that was a real jump scare for me! Loved it!
(Warning this may not be entirely accurate to what happened- it’s just what I remember) I just got the game recently and at instead of starting a survival game I started a creative one just to fly around and get a feel for the game. I got off the planet and started warping to a planet and I got stopped from warping because an asteroid larvae appeared and I was very surprised, and I can confirm that these are quite terrifying. (I ended up escaping eventually)
I have played many horror games from dead space, almost every resident evil game etc. But none have literally made me sweat from anxiety/fear compared to exploring the universe of no man's sky lol. I remember warping into that same eye and said NOPE!!
It's probably the asteriod larva and the ocean abyssal horror for me. I encountered my first ones each at a very awkward moment defensively and it left an impression. The biological horrors, if I know they're going to rise up, can be dealt with by calling down my freighter and standing on it's roof. I sometimes carve trenches as well to slow some down. There's still the acid to dodge, but otherwise it is a turkey shoot. I've not encountered the combined level of insanity that's #2 on the list, but it looks like one of those things that's exhilarating if you survive.
The most scariest thing i vr seen in no man sky was a giant worm that i encounter in a planet, its huge, but i guess they dont attack, but can kill you with a hearth attack. Its just like the "normal" worms in the video but it s 200% bigger
Ive been playing nearly a month and just encountered those giant worms yesterday and it was so cool. I had no idea anything like that existed in the game
There is a planet that is rocky (haven't played in a while) with giant striped, purple and blue elephant like creatures with mouth tentacles and it's head is a crest that it's eyes sit on that overlap into 3 rows and stand angled, like moose horns. They look exactly like the elephant alien things from the avatar movie and they are hostile as hell. Giant short tailed rats with human hands too, very creepy place imo. More creatures there too
There is another planet made up of only islands with like..no color, it's black and white. Except small hints of red and green in the atmosphere, and prehistoric looking palm trees that create thick forest, cratered also. Herds of whale headed striders litter the landscape and there are jet black tiger like beast with the heads of flies and long thick tails that travel alone, and sneak up on you. The worst thing there however are the packs of six eyed green, alien headed things that are the size of a t rex and have a body like one except they have human hands that curl downward. They hunt you endlessly and are extremely vicious and kos.
On a lighter note, I've been too an erupting planet that had these huge 4 legged scaled beast with spined fins on it's fore limbs and it's back. Its head looked like a hadrosaur and it was gentle as could be. I killed it lol.
I have only ever died _twice_ in No Man's Sky, both during the Leviathan expedition. One was dying to a random bug that flung me into the terrain at mach 6, and the other was a hostile predator on one of the worlds. It was fast, it hit like a truck and I had no chance against it.
I remember landing on an irradiated planet and saw a pack (?) of literally flying eels (with no wings, mind you) that scared me so much that I left the planet this instant.
Thank you so much for that underwater warning. I legit have no idea what it could be I'm so excited to log my first one.
Enjoy your travels, starwalker.
i'm a new player (got the game at christmas and became obsessed) so i had my first encounter with a derelict freighter recently.
it was that moment when i realized NMS was a horror game in disguise.
I've encountered the asteroid larva! When using up my collection of Anomaly Detectors, of course. Was still really cool.
I don't find the Biological Horrors terrifying, they look pretty goofy. Especially since their back legs are always up in the air for me. Well, that and I always cheese them by standing on the abandoned building roofs.
I do think my best jumpscare was when finding a calcified planet, I got the one with the ossified stars as its reality glitch, and indeed the wandering ones were aggressive. I didn't expect one to suddenly roll into me!
The neutron cannon combined with a paralysis mortar has quickly become my go-to choice for dealing with the swarm. Freeze 'em all and let the splash damage fly while quickly collecting all Living Slime in the zone.
the angler fish abyssal horror i first experienced while playing in vr. didnt go back to that game for a long time
Used to be terrified of Abyssal Horrors. But I assembled a seriously jacked-up Pulse Spitter on one of my Multitools, for Derelict Freighter missions. I found that it also works beautifully for hosing down AHs at range. Now, I hunt them. :)
I began my first playthrough of NMS in the worlds update. The second time I was jumping ever in my ship, leaving the space station, an asteroid larvae spawned. I had no idea it existed, and I needed to change my pants moments later. 60+ hours in and only the angler fish thing has scared me that much lol.
I have encountered the one on 10:09, it can jump, and it will not let you go until you leave that area, I love it, I think they should add more of them
Number 1: the weird ass controls.
It'd be cool to see some Lovecraftian figures and encounters in No Man's Sky. Imagine a narrative or mission where you eventually discover that what you encountered is completely out of your control, and only reveals how small you are compared to the universe around you.
God, those hadal cores scared the life out of me when I first harvested them. Mostly combined with the screaming lack of background music when underwater. To this day, whenever I see one, I immediately turn my volume completely off, as I’m a very jumpy and stressed person lol
THE WHIRLING BONE THINGIES omg... I almost soiled my pants when i first saw them... they were red and white... whirled like razors moving underground.... dude those zergling lookalikes were like walk in the park next to them
The most terrifying experience is a grenade bouncing in your face
The hungering tendrils literally made me jump outta my seat 😂😂
The Asteroid Larvae is basically the Eye of Sauron.
Neat.
Luckily I haven't really encountered any horror creatures YET. Only been playing for about a week, had a run in with some big cat things on a frozen extreme planet while farming Storm Crystals, but apart from them I have been lucky.
Not been underwater yet.
I was doing a hardcore permadeath run just yesterday, was doing a mission involving feeding creatures on a planet when i had apparently hit a large herbivore when melee boosting, one of its friends was nearby and swiftly attacked, my sheild popped and i was at 1 health left with just one attack. That was the most i ever panicked. It's not even the predators you have to worry about because they let you know they're hostile, the real ones you gotta watch out for is pissing off the herbivores that will fight back.
Nice vid mate
i'd say at least for new players the sentinel walker is one of the most formidable enemies in the game, seeing as they can take a lot of damage and basically control entire areas when hostile. the hardframe minotaur sentinel is also pretty difficult to fight if you arent prepared although lesser than the walker.
I completely agree! I’m a long time player and I still can’t stand them! Although I don’t really enjoy combat, though so that would make sense
Sentinel walkers are just big towers with a beam turret, just fire at their protection and spam the brain with plasma splitters
I just started recently and the anglerfish really made me jump. The game itself is really relaxing and i normally dont get caught off guard that easily but i really wasnt expecting something like that from a game which feels quite harmless most of the time.
The sound of the “spoiler horror” sounds like a car tryna start in cold weather 😂
No Man's Sky is a game that i really loved to play, because i love everything about space and universe, unfortunately sounds stupid that im also terrified of it, so playing this game for me is a rollercoaster of emotions 😊
The angler horror I first experienced recently and it got stuck in the ground and was quite entertaining.
I heard the spoiler warning and I am gonna do the jump scares and then watch this vid
The planets that are filled with those giant mechanical globe heads has the creepiest bgm. I often glance around while mining half expecting one of them to turn and thunder roll at me for looting their resources. If they ever patched that in without warning I would probably throw my controller in terror lol.
When I started playing, I was curious about Whispering Eggs. Knew nothing at the time so the event lead to instant death. Few years later and I've grown to engage in combat. Though the Alluring enemy I had zero clue about. Never interacted with it. But the Tendrils, Monstrosities, Sentinels and harsh weather? Bring it on!
First predtor I ran into I ran and scream into my starship so fast
The first time I encountered the Screaming Abyssal Horror I literally screamed out loud. I'm audio sensitive and was wearing headphones, I've never once been scared like that in a video game before. They still terrify me lol.
Its not even worth messing with the worms anymore lol. But nah man the worst part is actually the lack of visibility during storms. So when you're surrounded by 3 threats simultaneously you can't even see a clear plane of retreat
New subscriber! Great info here, I’ve encountered most of these and l had to learn and adapt
This game looks awesome unrecognisable from when I first saw it years ago
First time I encountered the angler fish abyssal terror, it killed me with one bite before I even saw what had burst from the formation. It surprised the heck out of me, and I was paranoid of those underwater features for a while after.
