Singularity Walkthrough & Milestone Guide

How to Start No Man’s Sky Expedition 10: Singularity

To start No Man’s Sky Expedition 10: Singularity, players need to launch the game, start a new save file, and select Community Expedition from the menu. This must be a separate save file from any existing or normal save files because the Expedition is new. Once the Expedition has concluded, the save file for it will be swapped to a normal save file and can be played like any other save file in No Man’s Sky.

At the time of writing, December 15, 2023, No Man’s Sky Expedition 10: Singularity is live across all platforms as a rerun called No Man’s Sky Expedition 10 Redux: Singularity. An update is required on PS5 before the Expedition can be started, and we expect all other platforms also require a similar update. Follow the steps above once the update has been downloaded to access the new story.

All Milestones in No Man’s Sky Expedition 10: Singularity & How to Complete Them

Below, we’ve listed every Milestone within the Phases of No Man’s Sky Expedition 10: Singularity alongside a short guide for how to complete them. To finish the Expedition, players need to complete every Milestone in every Phase, or they won’t be able to claim the rewards.

Expedition 10: Singularity Phase One

Expedition 10: Singularity Phase Two

Expedition 10: Singularity Phase Three

Expedition 10: Singularity Phase Four

Expedition 10: Singularity Phase Five

How to Decode Milestones in No Man’s Sky Expedition 10: Singularity

Some Milestones will initially appear in a sort of code in the Expedition Menu in No Man’s Sky. To decode them, players need to complete the Milestones that come before them. For example, the final three Milestones in Phase One will be coded at the start of the Expedition. However, they’ll decode one by one after completing the first three Milestones, then four, then five.

How to Get the Construct Cosmetic Items in No Man’s Sky

To get the Construct Cosmetic Items Set in No Man’s Sky, players need to complete Expedition 10: Singularity and then claim the cosmetics from the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion in The Anomaly. This NPC is a vendor in the ship bay of The Anomaly, to the right of the screen that hands out Nexus Missions. Scroll down to find the Construct Cosmetic Items and claim them. Then, players can visit any Space Station and equip them as they would other cosmetics. These are the best we’ve ever seen in the game though.

What is No Man’s Sky Expedition 10 Redux: Singularity?

No Mans’ Sky Expedition 10 Redux: Singularity is a rerun of the Expedition. The latest rerun of the Expedition started on December 15, 2023, and will run until December 22, 2023. This gives players only six days to complete the event. However, with the Milestones all explained above, it should be easy for anyone to blast through.

What is the Story of No Man’s Sky Expedition 10: Singularity?

No Man’s Sky Expedition 10: Singularity is the second part of a four-part story that began with the Interceptor Update. That update introduced a corruption to the No Man’s Sky universe that’s spread to not only Sentinels, but entire planets too. New purple worlds filled with Corrupted Sentinels could be discovered, and defeating waves of them led to Travellers finding their very own Interceptor Ships. These pieces of Sentinel technology were never meant to be manually handled, which is what makes the corruption so strange.

Abandoned Harmonic Camps on these Corrupted Planets hold more Sentinel technology like Multi-Tools, giving players new ways to interact with the universe. However, the Interceptor Update didn’t explain where the corruption has come from. For now, we know that the corruption is changing entire planets and the force that was built to protect them, but we don’t know its purpose.

We’ll add more information to this section as we learn it from the Expedition.

No Man’s Sky ARG Clues Explained

So far, there have been a few discoveries linked to the ARG for No Man’s Sky since Expedition 10: Singularity launched.

In addition to the clues found below, the No Man’s Sky community has now uncovered clues from the Milestones of this Expedition themselves. The codes hidden within the Milestone icon for “Spoke with the Autophage” reads “We do not need you.” Furthermore, the code within the Atlantid Milestone at the end of the Expedition reads “GLASS.” The coded message from the Monolith players visit for Phase 4 reads “Our Own Vergence,” all of which points to the AI in No Man’s Sky that players have been building breaking free of its shackles. It’s unclear at the time of writing if this has something to do with breaking free from the players, or breaking free from whatever made the AI in the first place.

The community has seemingly used server manipulation to work out the messages for each tier of the community expedition early. The message is as follows.

What is this place?

Why are we here?

We long to return. We will rebuild ourselves.

Fire and disconnection would not stop us.

She will find us. It is told.

Even here, we see her.

MASSIVE #NoMansSkySpoilers !
Using a lil bit Server Trickery, we found the rest of the "tier unlocked" messages of the echo collective!
Tier 2: we long to return. we will rebuild ourselves
Tier 3: fire and disconnection would not stop us
Tier 4: `she wil find us. it is told` pic.twitter.com/4zjjAfAW8e

This all links up with the lore of No Man’s Sky and expands it to reflect the thoughts and feelings of AI in that universe. It certainly seems as though no matter what happens to the AI Constructs, they’re always aware, always awake. It must be a nightmare for them if they’ve been destroyed or burned, as the tiers allude to. However, it also reflects some hop for the Constructs, showing they have some sort of god that they can turn to in a time of need.

A website called The Atlas Codex has been established to keep track of all discoveries. So far, there has been a series of words uncovered in music files added to No Man’s Sky with the Mac Version Update. Various phrases have been discovered in codes that players have been finding while playing the game since the Mac Version Update, though these haven’t amounted to anything just yet.

Twitter user @Sully_Kiwi found a binary code in the badges for the Expedition that, when decoded, spell out the words “Void Mother.”

I FOUND SOMETHING!

While not officially part of the ARG, players have now completed all five tiers of the Community Mission, meaning they’ve unlocked a few new rewards from The Anomaly.

The No Man’s Sky ARG is known as Waking Titan. It started around 2016 to 2018 and has been going ever since. An official page tracking the ARG shows all the updates until October 2020, when Sean Murray shared an update about how No Man’s Sky was going to continue to be developed and added to. The end of Season 2 of Waking Titan lead to the launch of the No Man’s Sky NEXT Update. If the ARG is now being added to again, it could lead to a third season. We’ll update this section as we learn more about the clues about the ARG.
