20 No Man's Sky Easter Eggs | NMS Secrets, Memes, and References

No Man's Sky may have over 18 quintillion planets, but it doesn't have anywhere near that many easter eggs. In order to compile this list of the 20 best hidden easter eggs I could find, I searched throughout the game, throughout time, and throughout the internet. Hello Games are often subtle, so allow me to pull back the curtain on these fun trivia facts. From sci-fi references to community and Skyrim memes, these are the surprising No Man's Sky secrets hidden in plain sight.

I actually got baited out buying Sultans of Ping. I thought it was like an epic cover of Sultans of Swing but sadly I wasted 800 Quicksilver

[FrozenPantiezzz]

2:10 I actually came across a traveller who said that shot in the knee phrase, so yes you are correct on that one. As a Skyrim OG I love seeing these cool references

[ShellT]

I remember seeing that floating cube in space stations, never knew it was a glitch

[SynapticBoomstick]

The titanic skull is also one of only a few decorations that will provide environment protect like an enclosed base if it's made large enough and you go into the mouth.😁

The Titanic Skull seems to share the same model as the one found in the space anomaly "Grave of The Ocean King", which is a absolutely massive skull of a creature that likely could devour entire fleets in it's life.

Day one PC player here, I have discovered some of these but was pleasantly surprised by some in your list! I'm so happy Hello Games didn't fold but forged on and have expanded the game's lore. Thanks for the great list!

[sophisticatednebula]

Gotta say man your channel is by far the best I've seen on No Man's Sky content.

Your entire vibe fits the game so well, chill and optimistic.

Wouldn't you know it! We've hit 8k!!! Congratulations!! Keep up the good work!!!

[overmenneske]

With 2000 hours in the game since day one, not many YT-channels manage to to show me new things. You do, though! 😃👏
Thank you for posting quality NMS-content! It's very much appreciated!

[avengerwolf]

Love the lists! Definitely need more Easter egg hunts in this game.

Gave up on destiny 2 and picked up NMS and im loving it!

I'm a huge Mass Effect fan and considering a particular ending of Mass Effect 3. It feels good to see that the Normandy escaped with the crew and that you can not get on the ship and see who survived and who did not make it better.

Actually the floating cube wasn't that interactable nanite-giving thing but an exhibited item behind the exosuit technology merchant.

[NegativeROG]

Usually, I'm not a fan of this type of video, but No Man's Sky may well be one of the top video games ever made, ever, and you (Kanaju) did this very well, so you had my attention from "Howdy" to "Bye!" Keep up this kind of content, and one day (soon) your popularity will absolutely EXPLODE! Three thumbs up.

[mrvirot]

Titanic worm like Shai-Hulud from Dune. I was dumbfounded and pleasantly surprised when it first came out of the ground behind me.

[enzleycs]

2001 is an adaptation of the novel so it still fits the bill. Also - I highly advise ANY and EVERYONE to read all of these. They're all staples in scifi.

(The Forever War being one of my favorites)

[Sharkwastaken]

I actually did discover "the conqueror" recently, it was a fun laugh. Glad to see you found it in your research too.

[snusey]

13:05 I love how the note says “needs aquarium” bc the normands SR2 has one but SR1 doesnt

[stephen_in_space]

Really enjoying your videos focussing on the details of NMS, looking forward to more! :)

You seem like the sort of guy i should ask this question(s)
Have we ever found out why HG chose to name everyone on the Anomaly after the various Greek Gods? Specifically is there a reason for it, to do with their various personalities or something?

Bonus question
Have we ever had confirmation why some milestones are named after real life earth space vehicles

Additional blathering
Back when the weekend missions seemed to be going somewhere with a story content, there was a lot of speculation concerning the greek gods, and whether the real-world greek myths give hints to the coming and ever developing story
And anyone who paid attention, dont forget the Ariadne we have on the Anomaly is an imposter, the real one got taken/transported/something to the world of Glass, and maybe drank the water (do not drink the water!)
Its also possible that Gemini is now and then replaced by his twin, because he is the only model who is sometimes wearing different clothes

Im also sure you know this but havent seen it mentioned
When you go to the QS merchant, there is both an arm, and a leg on his counter, signifying someone was charged an "arm and a leg" for whatever they bought (its a british expression so may have been missed by many americans, it means you were charged a hell of a lot for something
