This stupid Jellyfish is NOT SPAWNING
Why the hell won't it trigger? I have the Chromatic Metal and the Hypnotic Eye. WHAT AM I MISSING!? This is just consuming time for no damn reason and I'm actually starting to get really aggravated.

Can you explain where and how you are trying to trigger it? More info on this jellyfish you speak of would be nice also.

I am on the "Impossible Membrane" section of the "Starbirth" quest for my living ship. The issue is you need 100 Chromatic Metal (have), 1 Hypnotic Eye (have) and 150 Living Water (cannot obtain). You can ONLY GET IT from the Child of Helios (Space Jellyfish).

The issue I am having is the quest says "go to station to find Living Water". You land on the station and it says "Not detected. Pulse to Deep Space". Go outside the station and it flips and says "Go to station to find Living Water". I've elected to ignore that since it's friggin useless to go to the station. SUPPOSEDLY, just pulsing around the system will trigger a "Child of Helios" anomaly to ping you while you're flying around.

I have seen no indication of this stupid jellyfish and have wasted over an hour pulsing around in different systems. This RNG garbage needs to not be a thing during quests. Yes, it can happen outside of quests at random. BUT DURING A QUEST it should not be an RNG "chance to trigger". I want to slap whoever thought that was a good idea.

The only space jellyfish I have ever seen is a random anomaly that shows up when you are boosting in a system. I think you can buy/get tools that insure you will see some type of anomaly. Not sure if there is even a way to get that specific one to show up.

I haven't done that one since it was introduced, but don't you have to pulse for X amount of time to trigger any sorta mission like that? Also, be sure it's active in your quest log.

It's active. It has been the whole time. I think the quest broke because I already had a Hypnotic Eye in my inventory. It's SUPPOSED to send you to kill an Abyssal Horror. So, that's a really stupid bug and I have been wasting my time for over an hour. SUCH FUN! What a wonderful oversight! I LOVE wasting my limited time. I get to go to work angry that Hello Games didn't have enough brain power to make sure something like that can't happen.

It's a jellyfish, not a bug.

If you haven't restarted the game yet, start there. It could just be a load error, this game has a lot of those.

If not, make a manual save then abandon the quest. It should pick back up on that stage. You're gonna have to find the obelisk again, but this should work. If I'm wrong, well, that's why you make the manual save first.

Are you working on this from your E6 save? I'm waiting until the expedition is over and this save gets converted to normal.

This is a normal save, not expedition.

Restarted the game twice, did nothing. I'll attempt your manual save/abandon.

Cannot abandon. There is no option to do so.

I did this during Expedition 6 earlier this week, I had no issue finding it.
I had lots of eyes in my freighter at the time, about 50 or so I bought from black markets.

Have you tried shooting asteroids for an Anomaly Detector yet?

I have 2. Have had them for a while. Do they circumvent this nonsense?
