How to Get Living Pearl in No Man’s Sky

Living Pearl can be found in Armored Clams in No Man’s Sky. Armored Clams can be found deep underwater in No Man’s Sky. Armored Clams aren’t too hard to find in No Man’s Sky, but your best bet is to find a planet with an ocean floor, as the spawn rate for Armored Clams would be higher. There may be planets with oceans in the galaxy you’re in, but if not, finding a galaxy with water won’t be a problem.

Simply go to the Galaxy Map and look for a nearby system with “Water” as listed in the info box for that system. Refuel your hyperdrive and warp to that galaxy, and head to a planet with water.

Land on any land surface near water and dive deep into the ocean. Open your analyzer sight and look for a golden clam icon. Once you find an Armored Clam, use one of your multi-tool weapons to hit it. The clam should then open up and reveal a Living Pearl.

Grab it quickly and get away from the clam, because it only stays open for a few seconds before closing and dealing damage. If you don’t grab it on the first try, don’t worry, the clam can be reopened with a weapon.
