Vessel

Outer Wilds guide · The crashed Nomai ship

The Vessel is a massive, derelict Nomai starship located in the depths of Dark Bramble, impaled by the thorny vines. Players travel here to inspect the ship's bridge, replace its broken warp core with an active Advanced Warp Core, and input coordinates to warp to the Eye of the Universe. Navigating to it requires following the signal of the Nomai Escape Pod 3 and the lights left by the Nomai survivors.

Enemies

Anglerfish

Weak to Coast past them with zero thruster momentum so they cannot hear you

Blind, giant predators lurking inside the fog of Dark Bramble nodes on the way to the Vessel.

Tips

Fire your Little Scout into the seed near Nomai Escape Pod 3 to place a waypoint marker directly on the Vessel before entering the node.
Do not use thrusters when floating through the node containing anglerfish; drift until you are clear of their cluster before accelerating toward the Vessel.
You must enter the coordinates retrieved from the probe tracking module into the bridge's triangular grid to complete the warp sequence.
