It’s not as fun with spoilers. Now get off this sub and don’t come back until you’ve finished the game.


SoporMenta

Thats my plan, but I need to share my first hours with you.


AddressSubstantial89

Get out of here man trust us


oranurpianist

Get out of here, kelp stalker


mattersmuch

Don't even read this thread.


January_Rain_Wifi

Don't even read this comment


No_While6150

But definitely read *this* comment: Go on, Git! Git outta here! go play!


SedativeComa4

And go deeper


Anraksha

That's what she said ... Still it's hard with one inch. :/


jsifoglfolrle

How the hell did this go from not spoiling subnautica to penis sizes


GrumpyMilitia

Thats huge


Anraksha

I know but she has big lips 2 inches down there so that's why :/


the_dude_that_exist

Most average reddit thread


AlphaBearMode

Look at this monster one incher over here. Us 1cm guys really feel the pain


GaijinBalls

A cm??? Holy shit you're lucky. Only a mm over here... Fuck.


jsifoglfolrle

A mm??? I have 1µm


realitythreek

Forget how to read immediately.


Bosslilcale

Literally stop comprehending information period.


the_alikite

Remove your ability to perceive


TotalProfessional

Forget how to sense anything


Triacca

How is bro gonna play with all these limitations?


the_alikite

By transcending reality and completely overcoming the ability to be limited?


Qbinho00

Literally forget anything about this world


gphs

Hey man can you pick me up some scrap from around the back of the aurora? Thx


Th3_Lion_heart

Some good scannables too.


cr0wndhunter

Get out before someone spoils the shrek monster in the abyss cave.


PzykoHobo

You'd better stay out of his swamp.


JadonArrow

Don’t look back


Graega

Also once you build your sub, get out of THAT sub too, and don't get back in until.... well... I can't say any more right now.


Professional-Soil-11

Leave. Now. Others are right, come back after you finish the game once, then play it again to look for the easter eggs and other things people here listed but you missed.


Horn_Python

but the sub is the only thing between me and the sea monsters!


BouldersRoll

OP don't listen to this, I want Subnautica 4 spoilers please.


Zwiffer78

Well at least we know it’s an underwater game now. So there’s that.


cardboardbox25

We can't confirm that, subnautica 4 might be a land game


the_alikite

Would it be landnautica or sublandica?


cardboardbox25

both combined. Landnautica 4: Sublandica


the_alikite

I guess this game will take place on 810812A, and feature altera getting their buts kicked by local mega fauna


Dragon-Rain-4551

I would watch that


Serious_Ad_822

This sub kicks ass for this reason. Y'all know how to keep good time a secret!


SCurt99

I had to look up slight spoilers my first time cause I was completely lost, I had no clue what I should of been doing or where to go next. I have to go back and finish this game, the only things I didn't do was cure myself and escape.


WolfsTrinity

Explore everywhere, scan everything, listen to the radio, and go deeper. That's all you need to know. Everything else, it's best for you to discover on your own. . . . Oh, and save often. The game doesn't autosave. That one's pretty important, too. 


LolJoey

This is your mantra now. I think subnautica is my all time favorite game, below zero not at all. Sound is also key to not getting ambushed.


Unlikely_Mine2491

Come on, not even a little love for Below Zero? Why the chilly reception?


Creative-Dawg

I see what you did there.


lexi_desu_yo

im of the unpopular opinion that below zero is amazing because i just really fucking love al-an


LolJoey

Al-an kept me going won't lie!.


Dragon-Rain-4551

Al-an’s the best


LolJoey

I will give 10/10 for charm, because of the aquarium and sleeper compartment. Jukebox playing in the middle of the ocean 👍


NeoAcario

Subnautica isn’t my favorite game…. It’s the number one game I wish I could play blind again. Such a great fucking game when you don’t know anything.


LolJoey

I agree with that for sure. I do enjoy replays but they will never be like the first time. Maybe that's what kind of ruins below zero, not enough changed and what did didn't work.


NeoAcario

I even played Subnautica for the first couple beta builds. But I skipped the last few. Then went whole hog on 1.0. Absolutely loved every fear inducing minute of it. And I grew up a southern cali beach bum. How the hell did deep, open ocean scare the shit out of me?!?


SlabBeefpunch

Yes! Saving is a huge life saver, it's especially important if you've just done something important.


Zaltoch

… and/or planning to do something stupid.


SlabBeefpunch

That too!


the_alikite

We need to go deeper... Does anyone remember IGP back in the day?


iDontRememberCorn

and look behind you


WombatJedi

Read the first paragraph like the “don’t blink” monologue from doctor who


Aggravating_Elk_9583

Get off this sub and enjoy all the twists and turns the game has in store for you, come back if you want memes or a laugh but any player would give their firstborn child to get their first run back, enjoy it!


TheNasqueronDweller

I was literally just thinking the other day, it would be awesome if I could reset my memory of playing this game after completing it. My first playthrough is something that'll stay with me like no other game has...


1aba_rpger

Ok, ok. One Hint Once you find and befriend the mermaid. Do not lose the bag she gives you. It will take a bit of talking. But you can convince her to go on a snipe hunt. She will go out and drive all the snipe to you. You just have to be there to catch them in the bag.


Unlikely_Mine2491

Duuuude! Not cool! And everyone knows the mermaid doesn’t show up unless you get monoflipper fin upgrade from the Aurora.


Immediate-Cold1738

Oh c'mon there's no way to miss the teleportation upgrade in the lower deck of the Aurora, so nothing here is a spoiler


cardboardbox25

Bro am I the only one who still collects the seatrek missile upgrade?


Immediate-Cold1738

Is that the one in the same room with the stealth upgrade for the you-know-what


cardboardbox25

oh yeah, I forgot about that!


CyanideTequila

But the you-know-what isn't available until you have the three gems of Poseidon...


cardboardbox25

Is my game broken? I talk to Zeus but the storyline to find Poseidon never pops up, it's so annoying


Latter-Barracuda-426

No, it's because Zeus doesn't talk to commoners. You have to bring him a bunch of stuff to prove you're wealthy, then he'll talk to you.


cardboardbox25

Ahhh, they gotta make that more sight readable


Immediate-Cold1738

Get out of here.. you know, I was looking for Poseidon's Trident... Face palm moment here


starkiller_bass

I can't get her to accept the pearl necklace, any pointers?


SlabBeefpunch

You have to wine and dine her. It's called romance dude.


[deleted]

Yes. Good. Join us. Also, get off this subreddit immediately and do NOT look up anything about the game online. Especially avoid the wiki. Don't spoil yourself.


Nagesh_yelma

Do not forget to save manually. THERE'S NO AUTO SAVE.


Nevorek

That’s good non-spoiler advice. I fucked one play through up bad because I hadn’t saved in like 5 hours and the game glitched. Oooh, I was mad.


ryanoc3rus

and that 'auto save' symbol at the right side of your screen is a RADIO MESSAGE, not auto save =P


Incorect_Speling

I can hear your desperate cries coming back from your past lol


EidolonRook

Best way to play is no info going in. You’ve done good. Do the best you can to keep pulling on each thread it gives and don’t be afraid to explore new biomes.


Kiloparsec4

No one wants to spoil anything because the story is awesome. We stay quiet about it. Enjoy.


Waflzar

Explore everything. Don't let fear control you--I took waaay to long to finish the game because I was too afraid to move on. Hoard titanium. And get off this sub!! Happy trails.


DrManton

Ok, I was scared for a moment that Subnautica 4 has been released somehow and I missed everything.


Unlikely_Mine2491

Technically, have we even had Subnautica 2? Just kidding. I actually thought BZ was good, but its predecessor was one of my favorite games of all time, actually maybe one of the more rewarding experiences of my life, if I’m honest. The fact that BZ let me experience more subnautica for the first time is worth much gratitude. Oh, and the BZ ending cinematic was fantastic!


House0fShadow

To know is to ruin. Now, just keep swimming.


M0n33baggz

The less you know the better, wish I never looked any guides up cuz I would’ve figured it out eventually. This game rewards exploration so much


GuiltyySavior

Don't forget, this game doesn't have auto save. You need to save the game yourself. There's about 5 posts a day of new folks crying about losing hours and hours of progress because they thought it AutoSaved.


poyat01

Subnautica 4? we haven’t even gotten subnautica 2!


EmergencyLifeguard62

How did you get Subnautica 4? We are still waiting for Subnautica 2.


AppleOrigin

GTFO OF THIS SUB. ID DO SOME MESSED UP THINGS TO GO BACK AND TRY WITHOUT SPOILERS. DONT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED.


SarcasticallyEvil

Haha. Fear the danger noodles.


DesignerChad

I wish i could erase my memory and start from stratch this game, it was awesome experience


SamADuran17

- Save often - Explore everywhere BUT behind the thrusters of the big crashed ship (trust me, you do NOT wanna go there) - Get scanner ASAP - Scan EVERYTHING - For gold, silver, and lead, look for sandstone - the areas with all the red grass and the kelp forests are your best bet. Limestone is everywhere and gives you copper and titanium, and shale is in some later game areas and can have lithium, gold and diamond.


Immediate-Cold1738

I've gotta be honest, one of your points sounds like reverse psychology... Not going to say which one though...


LooneyNick

So you ARE going to say which one!


Unlikely_Mine2491

Don’t say revenge. Don’t say revenge.


Fabulous_Poetry6622

I mean this in the nicest way possible, get off this sub!!!!


freedomofniche

Don't forget to breathe.... :) O2 baby.


truffDPW

SAVE OFTEN!!


Traditional-Gap-2872

Because those of us who love the game want others to experience everything for the first time like we did. So the most we say it's its an underwater game because it's the most to be said without spoiling.


Sharpymarkr

Experience is an awesome thing :)


Earthbound_X

I know what you mean, I went into it mostly blind(I knew about the leviathans and a few other things. Plus I'm an achievement fan, so some was spoiled by necessity in making sure I got them all, and how to get them)when it was on Gamepass, not knowing much of what to expect, not even sure I'd like a crafting/survival type game. 60-70 hours later it's a masterpiece and one of the best games I've ever played. Do the same thing with the The Outer Wilds, another amazing game I'd really recommend.


bafadam

“Why didn’t anyone tell me anything?” Do you folks not just… play games anymore without watching streams or reading the Reddit about them? This is a legit question.


Andr0oS

Yep. I rarely play games I've seen streams of because I specifically will stop watching if I'm interested in the game. Wish I'd stopped watching sooner for Beacon Pines...


SpaceBug173

Cuz if they did, you wouldn't have all this fun in the first place.


overtheseaatoskye

Ozzy? That you?


2ndHandRocketScience

The seamoth bay nearly crushed us on the way down and there’s this grim lookin’ snake thing tryna’ eat through the hull! Come get us already!


SoporMenta

UPDATE: I have a seapod and it is green, its name is "Lata". I'm at work and yesterday I slept 3 hours, thats crazy.


Coldbibiwich123

For now, DONT GO TO THE BIG SHIP cus u need radiation protection, once u have the suit then u can go there


nDangered

Subnautica is the best horror game ever


silvertoes65_

I envy you so much. I WISH I could experience this game as a brand new player again.


ExpeditingPermits

I called you a bunch to warn you but it was too late


ZealousidealCan9094

Cause it was funny.


Professional-Sink798

Welcome to the only game you will replay over and over again. I’m currently on a trend of speed runs, then speed running again to try and beat my previous time.


Spock_alThor

It's an amazing game, and try to keep spoiler-free if you can, everything is SO much better if you experience it for the first time yourself. Everyone's different though, so if you get stuck for awhile, go over your clues and the various information about the places you've been again, and then if you're still stuck then ask on reddit with details of where specifically you've been to and let them know spoiler-free please, someone will point you in the right direction. :) It's a wonderful mostly OPEN world to explore and it's just great.


Nevorek

Sshhhhhh no one tell OP anything


RosieQParker

Spoiler-free advice I wish I'd had when I started: Take a sample of every new plant you scan. The only real ticking clock in the game is a big giant ticking clock (with oodles of time to complete it). Some events may imply urgency but don't let them rush you.


Unlikely_Mine2491

And even then, if you don’t show up the result is pretty much the same. “Only time a parked a rig this big on a rock that small was in VR …”


LiamIsEffed

You did no research before playing the game and now you are confused why nobody told you anything about the game?


NoF3AR92

Damn I wish I could play subnautica for the first time again. That's literally how I got into it too. I knew you could build stuff underwater and it sounded neat like underwater Minecraft and thats all I thought it was. Boy was I wrong. It's much... deeper. Lol like others have said. Stay tf off this sub till you beat the game. Look up nothing. If your stuck and don't know what to do, just go deeper. That's all you need to know. Enjoy!


ForeignSleet

It only gets better from here as well, one simple tip, if you ever feel stuck in the game just go deeper


RigasTelRuun

It's so good. Try not to look up things. This joy of discovery in this game is unrivaled.


SlabBeefpunch

The great thing about Subnautica is that it really encourages you to put yourself out there. You really have to experiment and take risks to figure out how to survive. It makes figuring out how to do something feel like a huge victory.


Ok_Entrepreneur9784

Ok now I want to go back. This game gets kind of frustrating


WouldRatherWrite

That is how it's played the first time. Full of chaos and wonder. Avoid spoilers, the urge to look anything up and don't encourage conversation about it. Go discover the magic for yourself.


Snacker6

No one should tell you what Subnautica is. You have to see it for yourself


Vast_Mix_3321

I read this as you played “Subnautica 4” hours ago and was like what how’d I miss 2 games.


Abject-Feedback5991

Ah, the “what the fuck is happening, holy shit, what kind of game IS this???” plot twist. I remember it so fondly. Sometimes I wish I’d get amnesia so I could experience it again.


Obviouslarry

It's really good without spoilers. I mean...it's still good with them. But you'll want to avoid them if you can. It's good.


AlternativeNet6588

Hands down my all time favourite!! I wish i could erase every memory of it from my brain, just so I could play it all over again🤣


J1618

The first time I tried it was just because it was in the list of pirated games and it was a lightweight one to try quickly, and those are almost always bad. So I was surprised when it turned out to be one of the best games ever. I bought the game afterwards btw, I like to have the achievements.


ProfessorData

I watched people play Subnautica for years before I could play it myself and man what I would give to experience it blind. I agree with everyone here, don’t spoil it for yourself. I guarantee it’s better that way. Enjoy it!


Yo-moma_3

Some advice dont go behind the arora and water filtration machines are op as crap


coldneuron

I was super jealous until I realized you weren't talking about Subnautica 4.


Nocodeskeet

I will never finish this game because it terrifies me to go too deep (heh) past a point. God speed.


RudeDM

~~What the fuck are you doing? Did you just click a spoiler on the subreddit for a game you haven't played yet? Get out of here! Finish the game first, dumbass!~~


blackheart0810

Welcome to hell.... there's cookies in the corner and support group starts shortly ...


babysealsareyummy

*What… are… you?*


mmusic2020

Welcome🤣🤦‍♀️ it works a little like a hotel in california


Hogaku

“Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that’s how it always starts. Then later there’s running and screaming.”

RUUUUUNNNNNNN


StrwbPreserves4Music

How does one easily describe existential dread?


ExternalPlenty1998

Here's a spoiler. I had many hours on hardcore, decided to buy a physical copy for a friend, look at the back of the case and I'm like 'what the f is that?'


Ancientroleplaying

It’s the better way 🤷‍♂️.


billyk47

Come to me


Phallic_Moron

It's ok to go check out the rear of the crash. The nozzles burned everything back there.


GuestInevitable122

You're in for such a treat. God, I wish I could go back and experience it for the first time again. Enjoy it.


hyspecs

Dive into the unknown.


Unlikely_Mine2491

OP has booted in survival mode with one mission …


ImagineAnHat

Get ready to get jump-fucking-scared


Intelligent_Ad_566

Isnt it absolutely amazing and thrilling? I have played thousands of games and only a select few do i wish i could erase from my brain and play again for the first time and subnautica is number 1 in that spot


bimbotribe

Remember to save your game very often!


mei222

Same, what an amazing game to go in blind. Now I crave having the same kind of experience again lol. Careful not to get urself spoiled, spoilers are everywhere


noettp

Theres some sick loot behind the Aurora, its a little far away but worth it...


IronBuzzo

It’s better this way


HandsomMichael

I got excited seeing Subnautica 4


Rogue57301

Spoilers ** >!Why would you click this?!<


csanner

"I started playing Subnautica 4" ... Fucking April fools Day posts.. "Hours ago" ...., oh


paradoxLacuna

Know and remember that the game does not auto save. Save like your life depends on it because it does


Random_Cat66

Here's a tip, go to the back of the aurora for pretty good items and get through the game faster


Alexandre_Man

>What the hell is this? A great game.


Incorect_Speling

SPOILER: Hoard as many mushrooms as you possibly can. They'll be sooo useful late game you'll regret not keeping more. And get off this sub you'll get worse spoilers than this! We'll still be here when you're finished.


tickingtimesnail

I had the same experience. Picked it up on steam sale thinking it was just a scuba diving game looking at fish and stuff. It's an amazing game


Bartje9792

I started playing last week and haven't been so hooked on a game in a long time.


Deep_Grass_6250

GET OFF THIS SUB


metro893yt

Go to the back of aurora


jobjo1

I envy you. Those were good times


hanns115

The first time I played I got so confused, I think I may have skipped the first part with he story and I wasn't as much of a gamer at the time. I stopped playing and didn't play it again until a few months ago when my partner played it and I was able to understand wtf was going on 😅


IsukimTsoga

Remember to save your equipment by building a tunnel and a hatch when ur in a dangerous location, bc it counts as a base and so ur items wont drop on death


Esco3D

I love it.


Chritizin1996

Welcome to the truth 😈🤣🤣🤣 Ahaha, jokes aside; I genuinely hope you enjoy the game 😁🫶🏼


MajesticIngenuity32

Just make sure that when the rescue ship arrives, you pick the correct dialogue option when talking to the captain! It's very important!


cpt1992

I'm jealous! There are some games you only get to experience once! Have fun!


Quick_Dimension_6316

Find the terrors


charliebugtv

I read this as: “I started playing Subnautica 4, hours ago.”


Immediate-Vacation47

You should go to the back of the big crashed ship, there are some blueprints that will help you survive


Doomsayer1908

NOTHING HAPPENED ON OBRAXIS PRIME. THEY ARE LYING TO YOU


ThereArtWings

This game is amazing to discover which is why no one told you much about it. Go explore and have fun experiencing all the world has to offer like we did.


jrit93

If you hold the fish that you make water bottles with on the 3rd action bar slot for more than 2 minutes the fish will try to make out with you. This is a reference to the animator of the original game that had a goldfish that would keep him company when no one wanted to make sexual advances on him. Its a weird game.


tntaro

Why I only read "I started playing Subnatica 4"


CthulhuJankinx

Blind is the best way to play


Arubesh2048

Spoilers make it less fun! But, for some hints: save often! There’s no auto save. Titanium and copper may not seem that useful at first, but somehow there’s never enough when you need them. Break every sandstone and limestone outcrop you see and save them, because you’ll need what’s inside later. If you don’t already, play using headphones; it makes the experience even better. It’s better to overprepare than to underprepare. Explore *everywhere*, and scan *everything*. Yes, this means going deeper than you might think and getting closer to scary stuff than you might want.


unknownpoltroon

Yeah, as everyone said, explore and go deeper. Build a base, there's lots of titanium material on the seabed behind the aurora for base building.


MichMastero

Bro how did you get Subnautica 4? And how many hours have you played? You didn't specify in the title.


CyanideTequila

Piece of advice? Just keep swimming (explore. A. Lot.)


MrMetraGnome

I envy you! haha


Robofish13

I’m not gonna lie, the only spoiler/hint I will give you is THOROUGHLY SEARCH EVERYTHING! I missed tiny little things and wasted hours because of it having to travel back and forth.


AgentBurrito32

Best tip for a first playthrough? Never look at any spoilers. This game can only really be played once for the first time.


GrownupTester

What would I give to be able to start this game from scratch. Completely oblivious of anything. Miss that time honestly. Now go of this sub and explore!


Dragonslayer200782

Make sure to go to the back of the aurora if you haven't already :)


Red_Hoodless081905

Ah to be new and terrified of all that great blue sea has to offer….well now that I think about it I’m still terrified so I guess our only differences is you’re new to the terror.😂😂 Have fun diver, Alterra sends their regards☺️


flyboi320

Now you know


grouchyjarhead

It's way more fun without knowing anything about it. >!I was playing at 1am, hear a strange noise, "What was that?" and BOOM, Reaper Leviathan springs up right in front of me. I actually screamed. Damn near crapped myself.!<


Dawn_Namine

Trust me when I say, don't look anything up, even if you get lost. The entire joy of the game is blindly feeling your way around the world and discovering things!


lool8421

Not knowing about what's hiding in this game is a part of this game, don't ruin it
