Getting through the ocean current.

This is the easy part. As you will quickly notice, Giant's Deep has a seemingly impenetrable current. However, you soon find out that Feldspar made it through, before heading to Dark Bramble. But how?





There are several ways to do this, Three of which are rarely used, unless you want the "Deep plunge" achievement, which is obtained by passing the current without using option 4.

Option 1.
This is the hardest to do in my opinion. You must fly your ship head first into the current from space at tremendous seed. This is extremely difficult as you must achieve seeds that range around 14000 - 18000 m/s.

Option 2.
Use the Nomai shuttle on Brittle Hollow and fly it into the ocean. It'll drop like a rock.

Option 3.
stay on an island until a tornado picks you up and drops you. Stay on the island until in space, where you should position yourself underneath the island. When it lands, it will push you under.
(I'd recommend Gabro's island for this one).


Option 4.
The easiest of the bunch. Just fly south until you find a group of tornados look for the one that appears to spin the wrong way. fly into it, it will suck you under the current.
The sentient electric barrier.

Congratulations! You have passed the first barrier! But what is this? An electric barrier seems to be blocking your way! And it follows your every move with a glowing, crimson eye? How do you get past it?




For this challenge you must use trickery. A camouflage!
First, you will have to find one of the glowing jellyfish. Swim up to it and position yourself directly under it. This is the only place that wont sting you. Then use your jet pack to fly directly up into it. You should pass right through to the head cavity.



Once inside, the jellyfish will begin to sink. It will insulate you from the barrier. It will spit you out once you are through completely.


Great! Your in. Now what?
At the coral core of the planet, you will find the eye tracking module, wedged between some coral. Inside are important lore parts.



Additional notes on Giant's Deep
There is one more secret of the depths. Well. Not really depths. At the north pole of Giants Deep, you will find a tornado far larger than any other. You will also notice that you can't just pass through it, you will have to fly over the tornado's arms and into the eye of the storm via space.




Inside the eye you will find one of the places of the Nomai's quantum pilgrimige - A quantum tower.
inside the tower you will learn how to utilise quantum objects.

@PeppermintTea, well yes you could look up how to do it to do it sooner, but its better to just play the game properly and learn how to do it through the game. Its only a matter of time before the game tells you how to do it

Banana duck, yes but if your anything like me, the game wouldn't have told you that by the time you looked this up. i hadn't been to ember twins yet. thanks for the feedback tho.

ok I was just about to get over my fear of the ocean depths until you said there's a crimson eye at the core that follows you.. now I don't want to go down there again, anymore.

whats the point in this guide? the game tells you how to get through the current and how to get past the electric barrier. You should've just made this guide a Deep Impact Achievement guide

Mirari, dang they mist have patched it. Ill see what i can do.
My pc isn't working properly so it may take longer than i would like...

I tried the option 2 many times, the nomai shuttle was always destroyed when it hit the atmosphere of gaint's deep if I hit it directly.
And if I use the right control (align) of the nomai shuttle, it will only stay in the middle of the water,
I still can't get in the core by swimming.

Can you provide some details or a video walkthrough of option 2 ?

Simple and direct with enough flair to be a model of what a guide should look like. Thanks for taking the time to crate this. Adventure awaits.
