How many Atlas words are there and how do you learn them

no-mans-sky

When solving the riddle at Monoliths you can learn Atlas words. For the 3 species there are more than 400 words to learn. Are there as many words in the Atlas language?

Are there other ways to learn these words? I think the white bubbles on the floor on the Atlas stations do give them too. Anything else?

Best Answer

In my own experience with the game, I have run into the following situations:

  • The Atlas Station "floor bubbles" have never taught me an Atlas word, and if they have, it wasn't shown on my screen. It is still possible that I learned some, though, but next time I find an Atlas Station I will pay closer attention.

  • The only place that I have learned Atlas Words is from Ruins/Monoliths that involve a puzzle. For example,

    I came across a Ruin that asked me to Kill or Spare a bird that the monolith was keeping alive, even though it was broken and should have been dead. The right answer was to kill the bird out of mercy,

    and the monolith awarded me with 3 Atlas words.

  • Normal species-based words can be learned from certain Ruins/Monoliths, Knowledge Stones, Encyclopedia Terminals, and of course from that lonely alien you find in space stations and planet-shelters.

Again, this has only been my experience with the game, and I still have trouble deciphering the difference between Atlas monoliths/ruins and species specific monoliths/ruins. I will try to pay more close attention in the future, however, and edit this answer if anything new comes up.
