How to Get Lost Angler's Rig in No Man's Sky

Expedition 15: Aquarius brings version 5.10 of No Man's Sky chock-full of oceanic goodness. Fishing, a new kind of fishing with species of fish, recipes for cooking, and all the tech to go along with it, such as the Exo Skiff, is included. Of the newly included features, the Lost Angler's Rig seems to be an invaluable tool in your fishing odyssey. But because it's only available throughout the entire two-month duration of Expedition Aquarius, make sure to complete those milestones and catch uncommon and rare fish for this highly sought-after item.

Lost Angler's Rig in No Man's Sky: How to Get

Lost Angler's Rig - a legendary angling tool yielded by Lost Angler, is obtained through Phase 4 of Expedition Aquarius in No Man's Sky. Since the activities involved in Phase 1 to 3 are all about fishing, completing Phase 4 may take quite a while. Fortunately, the milestone objectives will be relatively easy to accomplish.

Phase 4 Milestones

Missed Angling: 4: Arrive at the fourth angling destination. Reward: 900 Nanites, x7 Inventory Slot

Call of the Water: Catch a message from the Angler. Reward: Aquatic Treasure, x5 Shadow Lure

In Hot Water: Catch 7 uncommon high-temperature fish. Reward: 400 Quicksilver, Fish Pie

Night Fishing: Catch 3 nocturnal fish. Reward: Barnacle plans, x20 Kelp Sac

Pearls of Wisdom: Harvest 15 Living Pearls. Reward: Terrifying Sample, x5 Mollusc Flesh

The Lunker: Catch 3 huge fish. Reward: Small Aquarius plans, Biological Sample

Wading in Again: Catch 100 fish. REWARD x30 Salvaged Data, Trident Key

Of these "In Hot Water," "Night Fishing," and "Pearls of Wisdom" may be the toughest. High-temperature fish are found on Scorched or Volcanic planets, nocturnal fish can be caught anywhere at night. Pearls of Wisdom come from clam shells in deep water, and "The Lunker" is RNG-based, so be prepared to put up with some frustration.

How to Craft Lost Angler's Rig in No Man's Sky

Once you've finished all Phase 4 milestones, the blueprints for the Lost Angler's Rig will be unlocked. Actually crafting the rig is quite straightforward. Gather the following materials:

2x Hydraulic Wiring: The blueprint can be bought from the Synthesis Laboratory in Manufacturing Facilities or Operations Centres for 250 Nanites. It can be crafted with 2x Carbon Nanotubes, 20x Salt and 40x Di-hydrogen.

60x Salt: Found in minerals - primary or secondary - and Resource Deposits. Refine it from Chlorine or Di-hydrogen and Oxygen.

90x Silver: Collected from minerals, asteroids, and Resource Deposits. Refine it from Aronium, Heroz, or Dirty Bronze.

Acquiring the Lost Angler's Rig successfully is already an achievement, but finishing Expedition Aquarius entails completing Phase 5. This will get you the opportunity to access and challenge the encrypted milestone "Scales of Fire" with the help of the said legendary rig.
