In the newNo Man’s SkyExpedition, titledThe Cursed,players will have to deal witha new mechanic to surviveenough to complete the Primary Missions and enjoy all the rewards. It’s about containing the Boundary Integrity, which will constantly drop as players are besieged with visions of beings from Beyond.
To prevent them from falling into madness, players should prevent Boundary Integrity from dropping to dangerous levels, which will increase the number of Horrors attacking the players and disturbing their progress. So, here’s how to deal with it, including the many ways to restore Boundary Integrity to its maximum level.
Restoring Boundary Integrity With Elixir Of Glass
How To Craft Elixir Of Glass In No Man’s Sky
The ideal and recommended way to keep Boundary Integrity at safe levels is todrink Elixir Of Glassregularly. This concoction is unlocked by completing theOut of Timemission from The Cursed expedition. The first mission from Phase One is quite simple, and it involves following the path until players reach an abandoned building.
After that, players will get access to the Elixir of Glass recipe, and this consumable can be crafted by mixing 40 Dehydrogen and 10 Shattered Qualia. Perhaps players have noticed it by now, but Shattered Qualia comes from Banishing Horrors from Beyond (which are those annoying tentacled beings that float around whispering maddening messages at the players).
To craft Elixir of Glass, open the menu andselect a free spot on the Exosuit, thenselect Elixir of Glass and hit ‘Craft.‘Players can adjust the amount of elixir crafted with the directionals. As long as they have the resources for it, they should create as many as possible since Boundary Integrity drops quicklywhen surrounded by Horrors, and each time players banish a horror, more pop out.
Other Ways To Restore Boundary Integrity In No Man’s Sky
There are two other ways to restore Boundary Integrity. The first consists of climbing on the ship tocreate a save point, then restarting the game. It’s not ideal, but players can use this as a last resort if they find themselves surrounded by horrors and do not possess enough ammo to fight them — or materials to craft Elixir of Glass.
The other option is to climb on a ship and take off from the planet.Exiting the planet’s atmosphereshould drive the players far enough from the beings from Beyond, and Boundary Integrity should slowly climb to less dangerous levels. The more time players pass in Space or in a Station (or Base) they will restore more of their Boundary Integrity.
Remember tokeep a steady supply of Shattered Qualia and Dehydrogen, the latter of which can be found almost everywhere. By pressing theQuick Scankey, players should be able to spot dozens of these blue Crystals in the nearby area. Keep a close eye out for this resource, since mining it also yieldsGeodes, which players can analyze toget the precious Storm Crystals, which are needed for another of the steps of the Expedition Main Quest.
