Goose!🤣

back to your lifepod make some power cells. then back to the sub.

if it'd any consolataion, that's only a baby ghostie.

i felt your pain. but i still laughed.

At first: I love your playthrough and you did a great job facing your fears so far! So there are a few ways to get out of this situation. Some of them might require more bravery than others and all of them require a bit preparation. At first you should know that he usually doesn't attack the Cyclops directly as long as it's engines are offline. As soon as you start them, the Cyclops will generate noise which makes the leviathan go after it. This does not count for the Prawn Suit or the Seamoth - they can and will always be targeted if they are close to the Ghosty, so it's actually safer to park them somewhere safe and go for the Cyclops with the Seaglide. - The first step would be to repair the hullbreaches on the Cyclops. Is a bit scary, but should be doable as long as you don't park your other vehicles too close, for the reason mentioned above. - The next step would be to bring a few charged power cells to the Cyclops. 6 would be optimal, but 2 or 3 should already be enough to get him out of the area later. Exchange the cells but don't start the engines yet! Now come the optional ways to get rid of the Ghosty near you: - The Prawn Suit Rodeo: Equip the grapple and the drill arm. Try to grapple the leviathan by aiming at or directly behind it's head. Hold onto him while using the drill arm to cause as much damage as you can. This is a bit tricky since it requires a bit practice with the grappling arm, but is actually a common practice of dealing with leviathans among players who don't mind killing them. - The Closeup Knife: Even scarier but about as efficient as the first method. Get the stasis rifle, your thermo blade and your seaglide ready. Go close to the Ghosty until he goes towards you, charge your stasis rifle. Aim for his head while he's coming towards you and release the trigger. Once he's in stasis swim close and aim for it's neck with you'r blade. It needs a lot of hits and you will need to stasis him oner or two times more to get more hits in, but this way you can also kill him. Both methods above involve killing him, which would deal with him for good since he doesn't respawn. You could call it the Marguerit way as in "If something tries to kill you, kill it first". - The third more peaceful, but perhaps even more scary way: Decoys. Make at least 3 or 4. Approach the location with your Seaglide. At best from an angle that leads him away from your cyclops. Drop a decoy that he will eventually go for if it's within it's patrol radius. Once he swims towards it, swim towards the open waters and release the next decoy on the way. Repeat until you lured him away from the location. This method doesn't kill him, but is definately more scary since you're on your seaglide only and the decoys would be your only weapon. So i'd suggest to bring the stasis rifle as well just in case. - Now that i wrote the Decoy way, that could actually work as well: After exchanging the power cells, fill the decoy tube with decoys. Then, when the ghosty is a bit further away on his patrol, start the engines in slow mode to try to sneak away. If you see the ghosty coming in your direction: Drop a decoy, change to medium speed and silent running and try to get away. In case the first decoy runs out too quick, deploy another one and keep going. I never tested this method, but it should work as well with the downside that the leviathan will still be there later.

Took me a couple of days to be able to watch this one (sorry - busy!) And I have to say, it was kind of heartbreaking to watch. You've had lots of advice - some of it actually good, too. I'm not going to repeat most of it, but I will just mention a few highlights if I may: Calm down and don't panic - time to stop and think is important. (You largely held it together during some difficult moments, which a few short weeks ago would have utterly broken you, I'm sure. Good job.) You probably need to pay a little more attention to details (like not letting your base run out of power, making sure your batteries are charged, making sure you have the right arms fitted, and torpedoes if you use them, keeping track of your power usage on your vehicles... lots to worry about!) Personally, I don't like the torpedo arm - torps have limited utility, are difficult to hit with, take up inventory space. The drill does decent damage, should you wish to do it (I believe the punch has a slightly higher dps, but it's harder to do repeated damage with it.) Enhanced jump is so worth it. The PRAWN is actually really good once you get used to it - and it's much tougher than the Seamoth (and can go deeper too, which matters.) Once you've got the Cyclops repaired, charged, and moving safely again, you' feel better, I'm sure. I'm sure you'll get it sorted and when you do, it will feel great.

I hope you deal with the situation as is; it will make it really unique gameplay. Tip: Gel sacks can save your life (water). Leave with Gander, or Ghostie will keep attacking. Once you leave, it will most likely leave it alone. Get a lot of copper on the way home and make a lot of power cells. Hopefully, Duckey will survive. good luck P.S if Ducky gets destroyed while you are away you lose the icon in the beacon manager. then you have to rebuild Ducky you gonna really need a Cyclops down there

Torpedo arm is useless unless you make a fully combat proven suit just for that purpose. And you have to build torpedoes all the time. Drill Arm or vanilla arm can do damage. Overtime for the Drill and Punch for the vanilla. And the Prawn is vastly more resistant than the Seamoth, although not indestructible. If you want to fight a given creature with the drill arm, you can also aim the grapple at it to get into close contact and, while remaining attached to the creature, drill it down, it can take a while. One of the mushroom tree forests has a lot of small lithium lying around. The lost river has a lot more ambiant lighting than the Jellyshroom cave, you won't have any lighting problems there. Seriously, for the base, build yourself a nuclear reactor and its rods... I know you don't like maneuvering the Prawn, but having the drill and grapple means you will be able to mine ressources in situ instead of bringing them all with you. It's much more convenient to build a base in the Cove Tree cave which has tons of ressources lying around, including big Titanium outcrops. Table Coral is one of the only ressources that you have to bring with you from the Shallows, they are rare elsewhere. The little triangle sign just means, that you can't use the commands because the engine is powering up, that's all. The best way to enter the Lost River with the Cyclops is to go there via the big trench you are so afraid of ! Don't forget to use navigation cameras to better get a sense of how to maneuver inside it, it can be tricky. The radar only shows you dangerous creatures to the sub. Stalkers are not a threat to it nor are sandsharks or bonesharks. Crabsquids attack the Cyclops but cannot really damage it. The dots go yellow when they are going away from you, red when they are approaching you. Usually it's Warpers, Crabsquids or Leviathans. Bipping occurs when you are close to terrain and remember that the hit box extends to the catch zone of the vehicle bay... That's why the most useful camera is the Keel one, then comes the Screw one and the least used is the conning tower. If you want to better see outside from the cockpit view, switch off internal lighting. Or use cameras. WHat you should do is park the Cyclops at the entrance of the cave and continue with the Prawn, that would allow you to mine ressources into the green brine, and scout the area for how to enter the Cyclops into the cave. The Ghostie seems to not register your presence in the tree, that's a relief, and it's busy hunting cave prawlers too for good measure so it's pretty budy. If you bandon the sub while in the presence of leviathan, switch off everything, lights, engines, so its thermal and noise signatures are zero and repair what you can to have it full HP. Also take all valuables with you if possible, modules so you don't lose them (except the depth module if the accident occurs beneath the basic crush depth) so you won't have to remake them. Repairing works on the exterior just like repairing holes in base hulls. Also, always save the game before you go in an expedition with the Cyclops so you can reload if you are stuck, it will be a life saver for you. Some people like the challenge to salvage desperate situations but that's not what you want, I guess. Using shield and silent running is also why you should have engine Efficiency module AND at least six spare PowerCells in one of the Cyclops storage compartments. Yeah the game pyshics is wonky at times... You hate the drifting after you release the arm? Just use the drift to get you over ledges by releasing the grapple eariler while you are going up with the thrusters. The Grapple will act as a pivot and reorient your trajectory forward while you are going up, that's how you get over ledges. It's just a question of timing. Picking things up only work if you take off the arm improvements. If you could get Ghostie stuck into the trees, that would be good. In case of starvation emergency, remember that Gel Sacks are edible. They don't give you much but there are a ton of those down there. It can give you a little bit water too. Worst case scenario get back to your previous save if you can...

Fabricate a radio, record the following and transmit on repeat: “Mayday, mayday, mayday! This is Captain VahLanayru of the Cyclops medium-submersible _Ducky._ My craft has become entangled in dense vegetation at a depth of 600 meters near the northernmost entrance to a submarine cave system called the Lost River-coordinates attached. My vessel has lost all power and is taking water. Oxygen is running low, but I have an unlimited supply of Marblemelons. Please attempt a rescue. If you need supplies, you'll find my base below the partially-constructed launch pad located west of the wreck of the _Aurora._ An upgraded Seamoth- _Goose_ -is docked in one of its moonpools. His storage should contain everything you need to effect a search-and-rescue operation-either that or a couple of completely rotted Marblemelons. Did I mention that I like Marblemelons? So delicious, so versatile! I even like saying the word Marblemelons. _Marblemelons!_ Much better than Lantern-fruit. Blech! I put Lantern-fruit in my bioreactor. “Anyway, I realize that it may be years before this message is received. If it's... too late... for a rescue, then I bequeath my base and all it contains to you-may it aid your survival on 4546B. Please release any surviving specimens from the containment tank. And if you should find a somewhat bewildered Cuddlefish still haunting about those precincts, her name is Clara-she's waiting for me to come home. Try to make her understand that I won't be coming-that I can't-but that I love her very much, and that I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye before I left...”

That right there is why I never even use a cyclops. I just head down there from my base to the depths with a prawn suit.

The best entrance into the lost river for the Cyclops is in the Bulb bush zone.

"Radiation suit: a necessary precaution in a post MAD world" MAD stands for Mutually Assured Destruction, meaning Earth definitely is no longer habitable in Subnautica's universe

You really do need to get used to the prawn and the Cyclops because you can't get past the lost river with your seamoth and they're way less fragile too

Steps i would take: Relax, your going to die a few times but you already died a few times, your invincible in a way ;) Take the powercells from Gandar, put these in Ducky. Get out and repair Ducky, creatures do NOT attack the Cyclops when you are NOT in it. Get in and go UP When attacked, get out asap and repair Ducky (Ducky can and will explode when severely damaged) Get back in and go UP and Backwards. Breathe ..... youre safe now.

You can store the other arms in Gander to swap them out as needed. Note that when attacked in Gander you only took 9 damage, you can easily get in a fist fight with a Ghostie, getting out to repair when he circles around you. Don't use the shield when you're not actively being attacked. Yellow marks on the radar are enemies that are aggressive to a Cyclops but are not currently attacking, red are those that are attacking. There's a blue sphere in the centre of the radar that shows the range of your sound which changes size based on what engine level you are at and what you're doing. It grows when you start moving which is what caused the Ghostie to hear you and attack.

I love the self-deprecating editing 😹

"Cyclops is too gosh darn big".. Or, you're trying to get it through a hole that's too small. I think I managed to get it through that tree-filled passage and past the leviathan - once. There are other, safer, wider entrances to the lost river.

I say first take all your material from ducky and just go with gander to the giant tree, and built a quick base there. There's enough material down there to built basic base, you can use drill arm to collect material, for food shortage remember you can use your heat blade to cook fish, there are also edibles fish down there, Cooked fish also give you small water, just eat plenty of fish, you'll be fine 😂 and

and lastly for future advice. Head up as best as you can and get power cells. I usually run with 9 and have more than I need... you'll want a min of 9 and not to equip more than 3 at once. So if you panic you run out of battery and eventually be left alone. A dark, shut down cyclops can sit right beside a reaper or ghost and be left alone. Just like swimming with sharks in real life, the more noise and flailing around you do, the more likely they are to examine you in ways you don't want.

I guess you missed my ghosty avoidance advice. turn off the engine when it's nearby and run slow, if it comes close turn off engine and external lights and he'll leave you alone. yellow is mellow, red wants you dead

Good news, you don't need to worry about dropping down in lost river, you throw Gander on the Cyclops only drop out to mine stuff. You can take it all the way to the end of the game. last place you can walk around in the prawn suit she's done exactly what I thought she would. She's using seamoth as a crutch.

You chose the worst possible entrance to the lost river... Hole would be fine afaik (dunno, never found that place when I played, but I remember it connects to the rest of the lost river). The degasi entrance is a bit tricky, but once you pass the first hole it is easy. But the entrance by the lifepod... ugh! Those trees are freaking hard to navigate around with the cyclops. I'd suggest taking one power cell out of the prawn and using it in the cyclops, but chances are, you'll use all the power and still be stuck. Especially if you keep overusing the shield. Just take all power cells out and go home by foot, recharge them and come back. It will be a good practice with the grappling arm anyway. Or if you decide to stick around a little more, look for nickel for the last prawn upgrade and then go home. Heck, you could even get back to your base using the seaglide alone, there are lots of options. Whatever you choose, just calm down and plan before you act. We're all rooting for you, you can do it!

Well this was dramatic! Worthy of a movie like The Abyss.

you have a few options, but what i would do is take all of the power cells out of ducky, and take them back home with gander. once you're home, put those power cells into charge and take goose to the aurora. inside the aurora is something that you want- an engine efficiency module. you'll find it in the first terminal inside the room you repaired once. also something you need to get right away (you'll have to make it) is the jet upgrade for the prawn suit and the thermal reactor module. in any hot place, you'll be able to charge gander by just leaving him somewhere hot (don't park him on exposed lava, but anywhere else hot is fine like vents). you can also make hull reinforcement if you haven't yet, and i like to expand the storage by one as well. NOW- once you've got all your supplies (take ingredients for a modification station with you as well) go back to ducky. make sure you put that engine efficiency module in the cyclops and don't use the sonar or shield as much as you were. what you do is shut the engine off and wait for the creature to move away, then move the cyclops. only use the shield when your cyclops is over half broken or if you need to turn it on for a second to remove lava larvae from your ship. and remember, its better to leave than stay still. they will only follow you so far if you inch away from them. just go, they won't follow forever. use the "silent running" if you really can't get them to leave you alone, but remember any of those modes use a lot of power, as soon as you're out of dodge, turn it back off. important: you will be more maneuverable in the prawn when you upgrade the jump jet. that is something that takes priority if you can't upgrade other things. it takes a bit to get used to using the grapple to slingshot your prawn across the floor, but once you do learn how to use it well it can be even faster than the seamoth. try sending the grapple out a few meters in front of you onto the ground and walking forward, and release before you reach the grabbing point right after jumping off the ground with your jump jet. practice while you're at home!

39:56 well you exchanged the hands for a tornado launcher so yeah, also the game goes well past 900 meters which is the max of the sea moth

Starvation? you have a heat blade...

Prawn is the best vehicle out there. If you spend 5 minutes learning the grapple arm you can get so much speed its cray cray

29:55 personally I think it would be better this music was really quiet in the background but good choice to convey the emotion

28:12 Lana just because it sees you doesn't mean it will attack you, it most likely does see you

To get the cyclops in I like the largest entrance which infront of the Aurora kinda, not far from life pod 12, in the Bulb zone

23:38 I'm beginning to realize why you came into the discord and said Ducky was out of power, that shield uses an immense amout of power

13:55 the lights are just facing forward and don't move when you look in a different direction

I got 2 options for you. 1, equip the drill arm and put your best battery in your repair tool. Go on the offensive, latch on to the ghost and drill him till he falls. (It is possible) 2, take the power cells and flee back to your base and make some torpedoes for the prawnsuit, go back with fully charged cells, use the torpedoes to distract the ghost and continue down the hole. It is possible to take the cyclops down that way all the way to the lava zone. Take your pick, and from a pro who loves this game, you got this.

The prawn suit is better, it just has a learning curve. (1) As you probably noticed, the grapple has a limited range. Aim closer rather than farther. (2) To slingshot the prawn suit, aim a little ways forward while walking forward. Fire the grapple arm, jump once it starts pulling, then release the grapple. *_Aim, walk, shoot, jump, release._* If you time the release just right, you’ll go flying far and high. Use your jump button to guide your flight as needed. (3) To climb vertically with only one grapple arm, start a short distance from the wall you want to climb. Either grapple or jump and grapple, and let the grapple pull you up (don’t use your jump jets). Once the grapple has pulled you all the way in, wait until your jump fuel is full. Once it’s full, start holding jump, release the grapple, and you’ll start to hover. Before you run out of fuel, aim at a higher spot and grapple to that. Then rinse and repeat. Again, make sure to wait while hanging on the grapple - the fuel recharges slower when you’re not on solid ground. *_Grapple, wait, hover, grapple, repeat._* (4) If you have two grapple arms, climbing is much easier as you can just Spider-Man your way up, and slingshotting is more powerful because using both grapples will pull you harder. (5) You can slingshot vertically, too (double grapples recommended). Just aim up instead of forward, and ignore the “walking forward” step. Stand a little closer to the wall you’re using so you can get as much vertical momentum as possible. *_Aim, shoot, jump, release._* Sometimes you can naturally guide the Prawn suit to land on the ledge you’re trying to reach, but if not, use your grapple(s) to guide your landing. (6) To collect items in the Prawn suit, just unequip one of its arms. As long as it has at least one three-fingered arm, it can pick up items. (7) To defend yourself, either use the drill arm or the regular arm. You might still get hit or grabbed, but just keep hitting until the creature runs away. Use that time to run away yourself or repair the suit.

Prawn suit is actually faster than the Seamoth if you learn how to operate it. Jump Jet ugprade for the Prawn is the best thing. Torpedoes are pretty much pointless. The grapple jump movement is key and makes it go really fast. You jump just as your grapple pull you forward then release the grapple. Manipulating the jump jet during this will then allow you to glide forward at pretty high speeds once you've mastered it. Cyclops is damaged on the outside. The hologram shows where the holes are. If it keeps flooding it will eventually get destroyed. Piloting the Cyclops takes some practice and use of all 3 cameras. You can actually get the Cyclops down that hole/drop you found, it's just a bit tight.

Probably the best worst disaster episode I've ever seen haha

Turn off the cyclops headlights it attracts it.

The prawn suit is extremely durable - there's no fall damage. Also the drill arm is decent for fighting off enemies. Worst case if you're stuck in a deep hole, use & hold the grapple to "rest" while your jump jets recharge

What?!

Of all the ways to enter the lost river with a Cyclops - you probably picked the worst (the safest for the Prawn or Seamoth though - trees = cover). To avoid leviathans with the Cyclops just go slow and occasionally use silent running if they get close. In the lower left of the Cyclops HUD you will see two bars - one is your health, the other is how much noise you are making. You repair the Cyclops from the outside. Also the Prawn can punch or drill annoying creatures. With enough skill you can kill a Leviathan with one and it can really take a beating. That drop at 45:25 is where you need to go - and where you will link up with the other entrances to the lost river. Just remember to bring some beacons if you explore down there to make your life easier.

Geting Cyclop into lost river is a good idea, but you chose the worst possible way. The only plus of that hole is that its close to cove tree. In my opinion the best way to get into lost river is through blood kelp zone South-Southwest from your main base

At 8:38 Below Zero is more like additional story that talks about the Alterra Corporation and the Alien species that landed on 4546B. Not a sequel. But I still really love it. Think of it as more of an extended DLC.

This episode perfectly capitalizes my love/hate feelings with subnautica play through with thalassophobia as I find them both funny and annoying at the same time, funny because let's be honest its always funny to see people get scared of everything they see or hear, but on the other hand it's annoying because that fear holds them back not allowing themselves to truly experience what the game has to offer as well as being too scared where you put yourself in even worse situations like here she drained her cyclops of all it's power for using the shield generator too frequently because of one ghost leviathan she put herself in that situation for being too careful.

Okay here’s my advice (as someone who’s never quite been THIS screwed but is kinda scared of the LR): - repair quickly - forget gathering, take gander back to your base (yes it sucks but that’s your best option) - come back either in either goose or gander with the power cells AND BEACONS (preferably extra power cells, I usually travel with a full set of spares. Resource heavy but it’s worth not being as worried in deep areas). You can always go back for gander if you’ve got goose - along the way drop a couple beacons marking your entrance/exit path - dock vehicle - repair ducky - use your cameras to steer and quickly navigate down that drop in the cyclops - look for an area glowing BLUE, which shouldn’t be too far ahead - mark the path you took there with beacons Notes/observations: - use your cameras to steer, especially screw(?) and keel. Keel if you’re descending, a top camera if you’re near the top. Learning to do this is a literal game changer lol - you ran out of power because you were running the shield constantly. You can safely toggle it just when something goes yellow or red or the radar. - creature decoys are a lifesaver dealing with the LR ghosties - i personally waste energy on silent running and cyclops sonar, if you have the latter, when im going into the LR. You can turn SR off once you’re past the ghostie, and the ghostie will probably leave you alone. Also make sure you’re traveling “ahead slow” to generate less noise, I don’t remember what speed you were using. I pretty much travel slow through the entire river tbh Not trying to backseat but that’s how I’d get out of this, and you did ask for help! Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. And if the ghostie hits your vehicle (goose/gander) and it’s at full health, you should be able to take one hit and be okay! You’ll have time to run and repair and hopefully leave the area before it comes back for more. Also, don’t be afraid to drill arm it if you have to.

Cyclops sonar would be a good investment because of your use of the camera and you seem to run into things when you’re in tight spots

Remove torpedo arm so you can defend yourself/grab items with the Prawn > go get food and water from the Cyclops and maybe repair it > go home with the Prawn and learn how to use it in the process > grab 8-10 power cells > come back to Cyclops with the Prawn (Goose is obsolete at this depth and in such dangerous places) > don't drive through trees anymore

How I would try to get out of this, um, situation: - Take a deep breath - check requirements for a powercell charger - you may need to find some rubies but these are plentiful below - grab 1 powercell (the mostly depleted one) from Gander and put in Ducky, making sure to turn off engine and lights on Ducky. This will give you air. - repair Ducky. This has to be done from the outside. - remove torpedo arm and equip drill arm on Gander - with power you can bring him inside Ducky to make it easier. - remove all dead powercells from Ducky and put in inventory of Gander or personal inv. - check and be certain you have the materials for a moonpool (I believe that is what you were planning), or just a simple tube and hatch, and a thermal power station with you or gander - take Gander and jump down that big hole. It is a long way and he won't be able to get back up right now but thats OK - go forward past any hostiles (Gander will be fine) and find thermal vents - build the moonpool or just a tube/hatch, thermal generator, and once inside the powercell charger. Once you have all of the cells charged up you can use your seaglide to get back to Ducky and bring him down to pick up Gander. The big hole is a tight fit for Ducky, but he is able to navigate it down to your new makeshift base. From there, you can explore (there is another exit to the surface that is easier) or take Ducky back home and curl up in the bed for a bit before preparing again :). Good luck! I am enjoying the series immensely. Hang in there!

Now that you have the grapple arm and the drill arm, you can take on the Reapers. Use the grapple arm to swing behind their heads and drill a hole in them. They can't bite you behind their own heads. By the way, you can also build your own lockers in your submarine and enlarge the storage area.

Transfer one power cell from Gander to Ducky. Or take all the power cells and take Gander to home and recharge them. Going down is not the way out.

You clearly needed a breather after this. pause the game once in a while so you can cool down and think straight.
