Abyssal Horrors spawn underwater on all planetsregardless of its type. They look like giant worms with eyes in the middle and can emerge alone or with submerged buildings.

Go to the nearest planet with a lot of water (usually these are tropical and tropical planets). The best way is to fly to the sea area. There are always a few small islands you can land on and start looking for the Abyssal Horror. You can find the Abyssal Horror using Visor Analysis, as it will have a red icon on it.

While Abyssal Horrors can appear anywhere, finding and dealing with them can be a pain. Here are some tips to make your search easier:

  • Install a water oxygen upgrade: An underwater oxygen upgrade for your Exosuit greatly increases how long you can stay in the water. Since you may have to swim a long way to get to the Abyssal Horror and back, install at least an S-Class Underwater Oxygen Upgrade.
  • Look for the yellow lights at night: If you fly over the water at night, you can see the Abyssal Horror with its glowing yellow eyes.
  • Install Aqua-Jets Upgrade on your starship: The Aqua-Jets allow you to place the stars in space. With them, you don't have to look for a place to sit when you see an Abyssal Horror.
  • Use Nautilon: Nautilon is an underwater Exocraft that you can use to calmly explore the depths. You can also mount a High-Power Sonar on your Exocraft to locate interesting locations.
