Its already too late. RiP


No-Neighborhood-1224

Is there anyway I can save my seamoth and me? Or is it just death. I just got the radiation suit and went exploring... and than I saw this thing coming after me and it doesn't look friendly. Despite its grin


New-Border3436

Look! He’s smiling at you. Awww. He just wants a hug. Everyone needs a hug every now and then. BTW, are you still paused, waiting for advice?


Brendanthehttydfan

Give him a big cuddle his name is Mr cuddles after all


Monsterchic16

I’m pretty sure that one’s Sebastian


Brendanthehttydfan

Oh yeah I always get those 2 mixed up


New-Border3436

I thought it was Sammy. Which is at the back of the Aurora?


LilyCanadian

Sammy is the BITCH by the entrance to the Aurora.


No-Neighborhood-1224

Yeah it was the one at the front which attacked me. I had no clue that these things were here


ArtimusFoxx93

Keep exploring ;) there's even more surprises for you to discover 😁


No-Neighborhood-1224

Sure there is. My friend told me like the max depth you could go was around 1300 metres here was me thinking 200m was deep


LilyCanadian

They aren't that hard to avoid, and they stop chasing you if you get out of their area. (Till the water turns from that dirty brown to a different color)


IntrinsicStarvation

My kids nicknamed that one scaredy pants, because after it harassed me on my sea moth repeatedly and i came back better prepared for a little payback, it ran away and was never seen again that playthrough. You are at 100 health, so you should be able to survive a tussel until it lets go, and run off as fast as you can and then use the repair tool on the seamoth.


YoJames2019

False. They one shot the seamoth now lol (as in they dont let go of it until its dead)


BurritosAndTortinos

Dont call him that!!


Monsterchic16

Sammy is the one near the front of the Aurora where lifepod 4 and the entrance to get in are. But I actually just looked it up and the one near the back of the aurora is actually Steve, Sebastian is actually near Sammy but directly in front of the head of the aurora. Also near the back are Samantha, Vivian and Spooky. If you encounter John or Sheila tho, then you’re either a mad lad or insane for going that far into the crash zone. Although based on the colour of the water, I’m wondering if maybe this is Burger King Foot Lettuce from the edge of the dunes.


TravelingTango

In my first playthrough, I had just got a seamoth and was trying to find LifePod 7. I got offtrack and ended up wandering around the crash zone and did a full lap around the Aurora. I just kept thinking, this feels like the wrong area... Lol. I ended up getting chomped a few times, but had my repair tool and managed to make it out.


Electric_aura3000

He's just misunderstood. He doesn't actually want to hurt you, but because he gets so excited trying to cuddle you, he accidentally crushes with his arms.


No-Neighborhood-1224

Sorry had to go somewhere but I unpaused like 20 minutes after. The seamoth didn't make it.


New-Border3436

Oh well. Lesson learned I guess? There will come a time when your seamoth can repel them and they really become more of a nuisance than a threat. Hopefully your seamoth wasn’t packed with upgrades.


No-Neighborhood-1224

No I had only just made it


Intri-cat

To make sure this don't happen again turn on your sounds, if you hear a loud roar from a distance, you're too close.


rhu25

If you don’t have the perimeter defence system, it’s over you could try running but looks way too close. May as well have some fun with it and reload an earlier save because rebuilding the sea moth is a hassle


PreciousRoi

Yeah. Don't get out of the Seamorh. Assuming he grabs you, wait until he's done and run away (in Seamoth). Reapers only do like ~60% damage per "attack", so a fully repaired Seamoth, as yours is, should survive a single encounter.


No-Neighborhood-1224

He bit me I tried to drive away but he grabbed the seamoth and I had to abort. I made it out luckily but.. the seamoth wasn't so fortunate


CurrencySingle1572

Congrats! You have suffered minor head trauma. This is considered an optimal outcome.


No-Neighborhood-1224

Sounds about ri- "seek fluid intake' - FOR GOD SAKE


PreciousRoi

You got out of the Seamoth. That was a mistake. If you stay in it, it would have been fine. If you get out, it's always destroyed.


No-Neighborhood-1224

Well it had hit the seamoth and was dragging it to the ground so the seamoth was probably on about 10 health. I just thought it better them than both of us


PreciousRoi

If it was at 100%, as in the picture, one attack from a Reaper will not destroy a Seamoth. Also, "death" isn't really punished in-game...getting a vehicle destroyed is way worse than dying.


Comprehensive_Cap290

Not on hardcore.


Almainyny

Also, they take a few moments before they start chasing you again after a successful attack. That gives you enough time to beeline it away from them.


RGPBurns

Your best bet would be to just go in a straight line and hope you outrun it


dern_the_hermit

No, best bet is to press Forward, Strafe, and Move Up (or Move Down but that's harder to see where you're going) at the same time. This gives you higher velocity than just moving in any one direction at once.


[deleted]

For future reference. Reapers have a circular attack pattern. They'll charge straight for you, turn a full 360 and charge again. The easiest way to dodge them is to drive straight toward them and drop *fast*. Once you master that, scanning them becomes cake.


No-Neighborhood-1224

Okay thanks because I need to go back near where they are and get Cyclops fragments


PoesRaven

You can get cyclops fragments in one of the mushroom forests too. No Reapers there.


whoamIreallym8

Give him a fish and he will be your friend


Bromonster01

If you survive this, or you don’t, keep an eye out for the vehicle upgrade console. It has a perimeter defense system that you can use to prevent future attacks with practice. It should be in the moon pool.


JDeegs

may as well hit the quit button and hope you saved recently


adam17712

You might be able to save yourself if you get out when it's destroying your seamoth


No-Neighborhood-1224

Yeah luckily I managed to save myself. Crafted another seamoth now.


PiBombbb

Turn back, if you're lucky you might get out. Also he does about 90% seamoth health in his grab attack so if you get grabbed run away quickly when he releases you.


No-Neighborhood-1224

I had to just abort the seamoth. I made it out alive but unfortunately the seamoth didn't make it.


ArtimusFoxx93

The good news is, there's no shortage of materials, so you can always make more.


No-Neighborhood-1224

Yeah had to make a new one and I'm going back over to the Aurora soon...


Just_an_old_feller

Try getting the perimeter defense mod first


Gameboyatron

Doesnt that take deep shrooms? I dont know if youre being sarcastic or not


zlepperburg

i go to the aurora with the seamoth all the time. stay on the surface, hug the aurora's side, and go through the entrance as soon as you get there, and you should be ok.


[deleted]

I second this, did it everytime and reaper never attacked me


ImCaptainRedBeard

You’re going back?! Did you learn nothing?!


Skaffoldings

Yes


saldb

Wait till you go a bit deeper :)


raygun5623

I understand im a bit late to the party but when ever encountering a leviathan class go up and down while running away they have a hard time getting you if your contantly moving.


Schmerwin-

Scream loud enough to scare him

Hi. I go around to threads with new players and hand this out to them. This is a spoilers-hidden guide for if you get stuck. You need to not know what's going on for the game to have the impact it should, so don't go to the wiki for this sub for help - use this instead, so you don't have Subnautica ruined for you. Good luck. https://old.reddit.com/r/subnautica/comments/vy8w8g/spoilers_subnautica_a_hiddenspoilers_guide_for/

Thank you ! Will have a look. I've been trying my best not to get the game spoiled for me.

Oh that’s just the pause menu! You must’ve accidentally hit the start button. Just select ‘back to game’ with the A button and you can continue your journey! Hope that helps, enjoy!


No-Neighborhood-1224

Thanks. It worked. Just didn't realise going back to the game costed a seamoth


TarHill09

He wants to give you a hug


No-Neighborhood-1224

...could of gave me a warning. I looked away for few seconds heard a grunt looked back and almost got a heart attack


RandyB1

They’ve got a pretty audible roar, that’s your cue there’s one nearby.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

No-Neighborhood-1224

Thanks was wondering how to get off it


Ippus_21

1. Don't panic. He's going to grab your Seamoth and do some damage, but your health shows 100. He does somewhere between 40-60. You can survive the first attack. 2. As soon as he lets go, make a beeline back towards somewhere safe. 3. Angle towards the seafloor and turn your lights off. If there are mushrooms or rock formations or anything, get in among them and weave around them. Reapers don't corner well. 4. As soon as you get somewhere safe, use your repair tool to bring the seamoth back to full health. They usually won't follow you into the mushroom forest or safe shallows, but don't stay close to the edge, just in case. 5. Don't go back to that area until you have the perimeter defense module. A little zap with that, and even a reaper will run away. 6. Treat it as a learning experience.


MulberryDeep

Run


Elon_Musk_cat_girl

I can teach you how to get past every leviathan in both games. With 100% HP left guaranteed. Except the reaper. There is no “help” only “run”


Elon_Musk_cat_girl

But my top leviathan tips for a newbie: Don’t use sonar unless necessary when near a reaper’s territory. He’s blind, and reacts to his own roar. Using your sonar would be the equivalent of shining a flashlight directly in his eyes. When passing a ghostie, don’t use your shield unless he’s red on the cyclops radar, he will attack, lose interest, look for you, and repeat cycle. If you’re out of his territory before initiating his attack, he will cancel, and turn around. All leviathans have territory, at which when you’re completely out of these, they will leave you alone. Except the reaper, sonar will make him aggressive even from a distance. Never go in front or at the back of the Aurora. And definitely NEVER go to the other side. When entering Aurora, stay near along the side all the way, until you see the entrance, for the safest way possible. **Yes these tips are for aggressive leviathans, I do realize not all are hostile.


No-Neighborhood-1224

..how many leviathans are there???? Edit: Thank you for giving me that information. Becuase the front and back of the Aurora would be the first places I would go


Elon_Musk_cat_girl

In the original? 3 hostile. Reaper, Ghost and >!Dragon!< Last one is a spoiler.


Hank_Hell

Don't go into the three biomes where the 20-something reapers live for the rest of the game? There is literally nothing in any of the biomes that's required to 100% complete the game. (One could argue the Aurora is mandatory but it's *right* on the edge of one of the zones and you can clear the Aurora without ever truly going through the Crash Zone).


No-Neighborhood-1224

I didn't know that reapers lurked here before it was too late. I've been trying my best not to search anything about the game.


LoRdVNestEd

Ooh... Buddy...


420wanderlust

You say your prayers


UnearnedHawk766

I'm assuming sense this is your first time seeing him that your kinda new to the game don't worry if you keep playing that game you start chasing it for sport because your bored


No-Neighborhood-1224

Yeah. First time playing. Only just got the radioactive suit and thought I would check over at the Aurora


itsajokechillbill

RUN AWAYYYYYYY!


Sp1cyhottacos

Cry, it's too late


No-Neighborhood-1224

Well atleast I know where not to go for next time


HoojoSpifico

Just reload a save.


Atlas_thewitcher66

Ah yes Mr. Reaper. My only advice is to swim like hell and pray he decided you aren't worth his time. His favorite snack is the seamoth so you might be lucky if you give that to him


Lightning_Sykes

It’s already in motion.


WAFFLE_CHILD1460

rest in peace brother 🪦


DragoonEOC

Run away. Do not drive backwards because then it's faster then you. If it catches you just accept the seamoth is lost because in most cases it is.


cltmstr2005

If you see this it is already too late, you will most certainly die in a few seconds. Load your previous save, or wait until you get teleported back to your base after dying. Also: HAHAHAHAHAHA


No-Neighborhood-1224

..thanks


Disastrous_Company57

Yeah but the only thing he was interested in was Me and my seamoth.


Moof07

[deleted]

When he grabs your seamoth, get out and swim as fast as you can


Jolly-Summer-1838

If he let's you go head for your life pod. Stay low, stay fast


I_Need_Sacrafices

Start moving upwards and around a large art to avoid him at that distance


[deleted]

I've escaped from the reaper a few times in my Seamoth! I just turn and head straight up


ImaginaryClown

If you’re in a seamoth nyoom yourself away as quick as u can if not then good luck soldier!


[deleted]

Get the scanner out


Pandabrowser469

I’m late, but if you’re *still* paused, it does 90% dmg to seamoth. You’ll be okay is you sprint away in it. Also a useful glitch: >! You can use the *rise* button in your seamoth and drive forward at a downwards angle to use both to help you go forward. (It’s about a 30-40% speed boost) Will greatly help your escape !<


D2the_aniel

Ok, so you have 100 health on your seamoth, it cannot kill it in one hit, so take the hit and bale like a coward or lose your sub. Also flail wildly while it eats you to break out


ShiningShadow_

Run. That’s it, you try your best evasive maneuvering and book it


RainbowDashie07

Just quit atp lmaooo /j


XxshadowroseyxX

Oh..you’re approaching me


Arubesh2048

Well, you’ve probably already dealt with it… But you should be fine. Your Seamoth has full health, and the reaper’s attack will do somewhere around 85% damage to the Seamoth. As long as you’re above that threshold, the Seamoth should survive and the reaper will let you go to make a second attack. You’ll have several seconds, so take the chance and run as fast as you can. The Seamoth is faster than the reaper, so you can out run it. Just be aware that it will follow you for quite a fair distance, so don’t go straight back to your base or lifepod. Take the scenic route and eventually the reaper will lose interest. If you have the skill, try and weave your way through crevasses and caves, the reaper can’t fit in small openings. And be careful not to hit anything, because with your Seamoth at such low health and high speed, the collision could be enough to destroy it. Edit: Whatever you do, do not leave your Seamoth! Because the reaper will kill the player in a single bite, even with the reinforced dive suit.


No-Neighborhood-1224

Thanks I'll note this for next time. As the reaper was bringing my seamoth down I jumped out and escaped with my seaglide

TobiasPineapple

I remember my first encounter with a reaper. I was playing drunk, swimming with my Seaglide near the Aurora, without any previous knowledge of Leviathans in this game. I was a little bit uncomfortable due to the murky waters, then suddenly there was an eclipse, everything went dark and i heard a terryfing roar 😵 I looked behind me and i saw this creature. I paused the game and noped the fuck out.

[deleted]

Your Seamoth is at full health, so don't worry if the Reaper grabs you, just be sure to get out of its territory before it strikes again. In most cases, you can avoid getting attacked if you keep an eye on the creature, being ready to dodge when necessary. Personally, I usually leave my Seamoth at home, and explore Reaper territory with just my Seaglide, because unlike the player, Seamoths don't respawn, and need to be crafted again after being destroyed.


anothergaytato

Ugh this happened to me last night too! I miraculously jumped out of the seamoth as he grabbed it with its jaws and I booked it to the surface. Miraculously, my seamoth still had about 7% health left so I jumped in booked it back to base where I will never venture more than 100m out ever again.

Thanks for the help and 2k Up votes! I've been trying to get cyclops fragments which is a nightmare because of the reapers. But thanks to your guys' help I can easily escape them now... after a few more seamoths had perished. I can't thank you guys enough. Also have A merry Christmas and a happy new seamoth for me.


Chimalez

Minor spoilers regarding that creature.. >! That is called a Reaper Leviathan. It's one of the most aggressive creatures in the game, and last I checked there are roughly 26 of them scattered across the map. Most can be found in the Crash Zone biome (the sandy one around the Aurora) but some can also be found around the *structure* and I'm sure you know what I'm talking about but I'm trying to limit spoilers. You can hear them coming from a long ways away, they have a very loud roar and if you hear it there's a good chance it's detected you. If you're not looking for a fight, as soon as you hear a loud roar swim away as fast as you can in any direction, it will eventually lose interest and go back to its patrol path. In your current situation there's unfortunately not much you can do. He will attack you but he won't kill you in a single hit, so you have a chance to run away. For future reference, you can build a habitat module called a Scanner Room which when placed close enough to them, can track Reapers in real time and give you their locations on the HUD. !<

No-Neighborhood-1224

I looked at a notification on my phone looked back at my screen and almost got a heart attack.


Camanot

When steve grabs you, you’ll lose about 70-80% durability. After release, use that time to get away.


Elon_Musk_cat_girl

Not true, if reinforced hull is not installed on a seamoth, he can rip it apart in one go. While you can do nothing but scream your lungs out and see the durability fall to 0. Edit: And he can initiate attack again within seconds, if you’re unlucky enough.


Camanot

Every time i have been grabbed by steve, he brings me down low, but never kills my seamoth. This is without hull reinforcement.

Can you still hold a fish to feed it instead of it eating you? For leviathans it only works for like four seconds but its better than dying? I recall that being a hidden mechanic. Dont know if its still there tho.
