Attain maximum status regarding the Extreme Survival Milestone and easily progress through Polo’s Survival Missions.
How to Survive
Finding the Right Place
To move forward in the Extreme Survival Milestone and Polo’s related missions, you need to find a planet with extreme conditions. You have two options:
- Find a planet with tough sentinels that attack right away
- Find a planet with very harsh weather
The weather can be very hot, very cold, high radiation, or toxic.
Here’s what an extreme toxic planet looks like. It has corrosive rain storms. Look for the “Extreme” label near your hazard protection info on the screen. This tells you you’re in the right place. Do you want me to explain any part of this?
Here are the coordinates for the planet:
And info regarding the planet and system:
Coordinates for copy-pasting and transforming into glyphs:
- 0E68:0083:0540:0087
- Coordinates converted into glyphs.
Find a Portal, enter the glyphs and go to the above mentioned extreme planet.
Bonus: Unlocking the 16 Portal Glyphs
Glyphs are always unlocked in the same order. Completing the main storyline is the easiest and most hassle-free way to do so, but the player may also obtain glyphs from Traveler graves.
- A) Through the main storyline mission named The Purge: perform 16 warps in any direction, to any system (despite what the quest objective says). Wait for the game to register the last warp, then warp out again.
- B) Find Travelers in inhabited star systems, and for 100 nanites, ask them where they came from.
This will add a HUD marker to a grave location on one of the planets in the system: follow it and interact with the grave to obtain the next glyph. Please note that if multiple travelers are found in the same location/system, it won’t be possible to get markers for all their graves in one go, you need to get one grave at a time.
- C) Through the Eliminate Hazardous Flora Nexus mission. It is strongly recommended to do this with multiplayer disabled. As part of the mission, the player is led to a grave. Once located, do not interact with it but instead build and claim a base computer near by, then return to the Space Anomaly by reloading restore point or using on-foot quick menu shortcut (if available). Nexus missions refresh every 10 minutes, so if the mission is still available (or another of the same type has been added with the last refresh), the process can be repeated again. Once done with finding graves, they can easily be reached through any teleporter.
Surviving
To complete this task, you need to stay in a harsh environment. You don’t have to run around or keep fixing your shield. To get the “Everlasting” status, you must survive for 8 hours in this environment. The game counts 15 minutes as 1 hour.
The timer stops if you leave the planet, enter your spaceship, or minimize the game. To keep the timer going, stay in a safe spot. You can go inside a cave, make a small cave with your tool, find a building, or build your own shelter. These places protect you from the harsh environment, but the timer keeps going. If you don’t move, your life support won’t go down.
The quickest way is to dig a small hole in a hill with your tool.
Go inside until there is no more extreme weather, stand still so that the life support is not drained and leave the game running. You can also place a beacon or save point in front of you, so that you can save fast from time to time and don’t loose and progression due to crashes/power outages or other circumstances.
I hope the above information was helpful. Happy gaming!
