Giant’s Deep
Outer Wilds guide · First major planet exploration
← All areas in this guide
Giant’s Deep is an oceanic gas planet dominated by perpetual rainstorms, towering water cyclones, and floating islands that get periodically launched into space. Explorers visit to investigate Nomai ruins, uncover the mystery of the Orbital Probe Cannon, and discover how to breach the turbulent current blocking access to the planet's core. Your primary objective is to piece together Nomai research spread across the floating landmasses to reach the secrets deep beneath the sea.

Tips
- Floating islands launched into orbit by cyclones will crash back into the water, dealing massive damage if you or your ship are underneath them.
- Your Signalscope can easily pinpoint Gabbro by tuning in to the Outer Wilds Ventures frequency and listening for their flute.
- Use your Little Scout to test the electrical properties of the core's jellyfish before attempting to enter them yourself.
