No Man’s Sky: Babelfish Gold Trophy guide on PS4

Our No Man’s Sky all PS4 Trophies and Milestones guide has the requirements for each of the game’s Trophies, but we thought we’d go one step better and show you the best ways to earn ’em. This time, it’s the Babelfish Gold Trophy, awarded for learning 150 alien words.

It seems like a lot, but we’ve accrued a bunch of tips to get this Trophy — and its associated Trophies, Babel-17 (Bronze) and The Languages of Pao (Silver) — done quick.

  • If you’re exploring on a planet and find a Monolith (indicated by a purple indicator), you can go and scan one — or multiple — interfaces for a new word each.
  • If you encounter an Atlas Station, check around your landing area for glowing orbs. They’ll usually teach you a word for each one you walk through.

  • Best yet, head to any Space Station and interact with a creature there. After giving it 20x Carbon, you’ll usually be presented with three options — getting fuel, something else, and learning a word. The trick is to ask for a word, then give 20x more Carbon, ask for fuel that time (getting more Carbon in the process), then using that Carbon to ask for a word. Then, repeat that loop for seemingly infinite Carbon and infinite words. You may get slightly different options, but you basically choose not-word, then word, then not-word, then word on repeat. It works a treat!

Any other tips, Explorers?
