No Man’s Sky: How to Find Ocean Worlds & Abandoned / Ruined Planets | Worlds Part II

No Man’s Sky has just released a massive update called Worlds Part II, and it features a lot of new stuff ranging from simple quality of life improvements to various planet types found in specific kinds of star systems. In this guide, we will quickly go over the steps you need to take in order to start looking for ocean planets and those abandoned ones full of ruins and relics.

How to Find Ocean Worlds & Abandoned / Ruined Planets | Worlds Part II

Simply put, you can really only start your search once you have completed the new quest called “In Stellar Multitudes”. To begin this quest, you will need to meet various other prerequisites, including completing a lot (if not all) of the other quest lines in the game.

For more information, check out our guide on how to find purple stars, gas giants, water worlds, etc. Once you have gained access to purple systems, all you need to do is head over to your galactic map and start looking for them!

As for how to find these specific types of planets, you will need to check the purple systems for ones that are labeled as a “Waterworld”. Outside of that tag, the planet itself should also be visibly mostly covered by water, so it will be pretty obvious.

As for the planets that are full of ruins and collectible relics, you can find those by looking for tags such as “Abandoned” or “Ruined”. For example, an Abandoned Crucible will likely be exactly what you are looking for. “The Reliquary” is another example that contains these.

When you land on one such planet, you should be able to see unusual ruined structures that appear to be the remnants of whatever ancient civilization used to live there. In planets like these, you might be able to find some memory stones that let you create ruined structures of your own.

That is really all there is to it, so we hope you are already in the endgame stages as you probably will not be able to find these otherwise. With this information in mind, you should now be able to find these planet types on your own!
