A legit possibility could be that maybe if the degasi crashed close enough to where the aurora crashed then maybe since the reapers are larger and can last longer against radiation since it was "just a leak" it could be that reapers in that area adapted to the radiation the degasi may have gave off when it crashed, therefore the reapers in that reigon adapted to the radiation and when the aurora arrived then it didn't affect them.
Water is actually an excellent radiation blocker, even a few cm can massively reduce the dose. So 20+ metres between the aurora and the leviathans is probably plenty to shield them from the radiation.
@@Dragooses even though the dose is reduced, it's not blocked entirely. For that you'd probably need one meter of lead. The dose might not be enough to instantly kill you but it might be enough to give you cancer and kill you in some months or years so the game might kill you at that point. Or probably cause the creatures are more resistent than humans to radiation. Most likely just a game design choice.
My theory is a combination of 3 theories: Part of their survival is the fact that water is an exceptional radiation blocker, a few centimeters of it can drastically cut down the dose (i heard this from another comment.) another part is that its just a leak. The drive core was damaged, not destroyed (this part is from the video.) and the part i came up with: (from what i know) a radiation dose will be less fatal the bigger the creature, which is why there is barely any small lifeforms.
To add, "damage to ecosystem" PDA mentions might not apply to Reapers directly - if radiation keeps leaking long enough, it will spread with water affecting primarily more vulnerable lifeforms (smaller and simpler ones) which will cause ripple effects on Reapers food chain and overall ecological disaster.
The idea that there's a lack of enzyme 42 in the area is very interesting, and sad at the same time. I can't deny nor point towards any more probable explanation. A really interesting video imo I can only add that some animals are indeed immune or kinda immune to radiation by having "strong DNA" that quickly regenerates any mutations the radiation might have caused, so all of these things are entirely possible and realistic. Dude I really love your videos and love speculating
there is actually a thing that helps against radiation and it's called tumor suppressor genes. these genes stop the cancer that would happen from radiation.
My theory is that the reapers are a highly adaptable species and once the aurora crashed, the reaper realized the area is devoid of other lifeforms to prey on, the only other ones being the ampeel which are very hard to make a meal out of. the reaper then was able to develop a trait that went into effect in a matter of hours after the crash that allowed the reaper to feed off of radiation.
Hey bud just found your channel. You’ve got a soothing voice and seem passionate about subnautica. Hope you keep up the vids they are very good quality.
There are technically 3 reapers at the Aurora, 22 total in the world of Subnautica, and it does make you wonder why there are so many of them and how all of them survive. They must need a lot of food...
Either the sound of the crash or they originally lived there I’m not sure why people don’t at lest know that it was from the sound or something but Like I’d understand..
Another possibility: The Degasi Crash The Degasi might crash between the floating island and the crash zone existed. They might be not classified as leviathans but since the Degasi crash possibly emits radiation, they took advantage and use it as their energy source, causing them to grow in massive size. That might be the reason why reaper leviathans are strong, but worse than the sea dragon leviathan.
Thanks man, I appreciate all the support! I have a few other videos like that if you want to check them out: th-cam.com/play/PLR0X39MrZ1b9rnf-vfRpqGSiv98cX6_j9.html
The reaper might look like that because of radiation. They might of looked like a small fish but because of the radiation it turns into the smoth destroying fish of death.
Funnilly enough, there have been studies on topics similar to this. Scientists and biologists studied whales and incredibly large creatures in an effort to find out about their supposed immunity to cancer. What they found is that while they still have 'cancer' they have so much biomass that smaller pockets of different types of cancer will tend to consume each other, effectively removing themselves from the creature without any work necessary. Very interesting stuff!
I feel somewhat bad for reaper leviathans though. It's stated that sea dragons lure and corner them in the lava zone, boiling them alive and then eating them. That doesn't sound like a good way to die
I thought that it was empty because it used to be a breeding ground for various leviathan types around the planet, and the Aurora just crashes during the reaper’s mating/Egg laying season, larger creatures have larger and thicker skin meaning they can probably take the radiation for a lot longer, The low population of other creatures may be too small to sustain a adult reaper leviathan but it may be the perfect amounts for a newborn, perhaps similar to Bear’s, just before hibernation leviathans (or at least the reaper variety) bulk up on food before the season.
the aliens could’ve emitted some sort of radiation before the aurora crash landed and since that was a big time gap the reapers could’ve had an evolution to make them resistant to radiation (just a thought)
I know this is an old video but my theory is maybe the kharaa infection had some sort of radiation-resistant property, and whoever caught the disease could survive a large amount of rads. You see, the bacteria was on the planet for hundreds of thousands of years, and in this large amount of time, it gave the creatures who were swimming in the stuff said properties. the reason Riley isn't resistant is because he was only recently infected, and hasn't had time to acquire all of the symptoms.
I think the reapers where attracted to the area because they sense vibrations or whatever,right? That’s why they are in the dunes, a meteor crashed there, that’s why there in the mountains, vents and the big boy gun. And that’s why they where in the crash zone, because the aroura had a hard and loud landing. I think their skin protects them from radiation. And I’m pretty sure that all leviathans make their own version of enzyme 42, and that’s how Margaret survived when she was afloat, she ate the reaper while on their way to below zero area, and she was cured by the enzyme in the reapers.
I like the ideas in the video, however I feel like a lack of enzyme 42 would be unlikely, because there are alien arches and vents in both the Crag Field and Bulb Zone, both bordering the Crash Zone, so peepers should be able to get there relatively easily. Great theories!
fun theory: ghost leviathans in the void are the void's version of peepers, and are considered the smaller fish in the vastly large void, which has unique biomes just like the crater, but are extremely deep. the ghost leviathans stay close to the surface in order to stray from their predators. now what those are, ill let you imagine
You can lure reapers away with a peaper right? So maybe Reapers eat them and as such peapers learned to avoid the crash zone hense leading to little enzyme42.
So my theory goes as follows: It is known that the peepers trailing the enzyme keep the animals alive and safe from Kharaa, but we also know that a reaper's favorite snack, even more than a player, is a peeper. This could mean that the reason its so bleak is cuz peepers arent able to make it there to spread the enzyme, due to the reapers. Its canon that reapers are immune to the kharaa, as evidence by a degasi voice log where Bart Torgal notes that the reapers are unaffected by the disease. Im not sure about sand sharks, which can also be found in the crash zone, but it could be assumed that with the reapers killing all other lifeforms, and not attacking the sharks, that it mightve effectlively created a quarantine area for them to live. Also look at the dunes, which are just as vacant when it comes to life, and guess where you kind find even more reapers than the crash zone? The fish honestly might be immune, but ofc the pda has no way of knowing, so it tells you that it could have a negative effect on the ecosystem. It also just might affect flora, or microorganisms that a lot of the creatures live off of, such as the ghost and reefback leviathans. As for the theory that the volcano forced this immunity, i dont think it holds, as gamma radiation is different than thermal radiation in almost eveery way except that it causes heat. There is bacteria that is naturally resistant to gamma radiation, which could lead one to believe that the organisms on 4546b are born with the same resistance to gamma radiation as this bacteria.

I'm very late, but I love this video. My theory is that the reapers absorbed the Khara, because it never said how reaper leviathans came to be. They could have been genetically altered stalkers, but we never know.
i know another possibility. There is a time capsule that you can find and other bases that are run down, so maybe another Aurora type ship crashed causing them to adapt to it.
You do great content and there is not many youtubers who do great content like this also your editing is fine editing is not as important as what the content is
I could be wrong about this but I remember hearing/seeing something somewhere that the reapers are in the crash zone because they are attracted to loud sounds and this big crash drew some reapers near
1:29 you know when you said they could've held out until you repaired it I might have an idea during early access their eyes were green but it could be a idk
You sound so young, which at first made me think it wouldn't be a good video, but your editing is really good, and you sound very professional for your age. You keep this stuff up, and you'll grow in subs higher than even now
I think that it's because the reapers are much bigger, and alot bulkier then you are. So the radiation kills you, but leaves the reapers relatively unharmed. Think of it like animal born diseases. Tuberculosis to cows is like the common cold, but to us it's much deadlier. There also may have been some sort of large uranium deposit near the crash zone before the Aurora even got there, meaning the Reapers would evolve to handle high amounts of radiation.
I believe they survive because you're not supposed to be there, you can go there. But you can't do anything until the big boom. I believe that's when reapers go there. Not when the crash happened as there was multiple Loud sounds. I believe in lore, everything came there right after the big boom
If you manage to scan the reaper leviathan, the pda scan will say that the reaper is made mostly of muscle. Due to the cells that make up muscle this means that muscle is NOT radiation resistant. (Trust google). The reaper leviathan’s skin could be the reason why the massive beast doesn’t just keel over and die. The skin could be dense witch would be another reason why it takes 50+ slashes of a thermal knife to kill this leviathan. (I counted). Due to the density of the skin this could be the reason the reaper leviathan doesn’t die. But of corse a lot of the time games don’t need an explanation to make them fun. If they did then speedy wouldn’t be posting this amazing video. If you ask me the more less things are explained the more fun they are. ( like with goat simulator’s wack physics, they just make the game fun, not accurate at all. Maybe the developers just didn’t think about this question. Just because this topic exists doesn’t make the game less fun. The game is perfect and doesn’t need an explanation for it to be fun. You always look at the gargantuan leviathan skeletal remains and don’t think “how did it get here”. You get a sense of shock at the size. (Speedy if you read this it might be a decent video topic). The topic, time and effort in these questions and videos is always appreciated. None the less, thank you for the amazing content, and keep up the good work. 👌👌 -pat
I’m pretty sure the reapers are attracted to noise, which makes sense why there in the mountains, crash zone, and dunes, dunes has a lot of wrecks and there’s that meteor from a long time ago, which most likely means the dunes could be the ancient home of the reapers, QEP shooting Aurora probably brought reapers there, and the aurora crashing was like a hotspot. Without watching the video yet, i think it’s probably because they’re so big or they eat lead
3:52 let's all. Say it that's the most probable one, same with the biters and those other "fishes" that suck your blood in the radioactive engine thingy there
Maybe the reaper wasn’t at the crash site when it happened and it lives off radiation and it could tell radiation was coming from the aurora so it traveled from its previous habitat place (Crater Edge) and the reason the is few of the reaper is because it fought with the ghost lav
We are talking about a alien planet here. The animals might work a lot differently there, maybe there Dna is more immune. Or they might not even have Dna, they might have a completly different thing. But it's most likely that the devs didn't though of this thing which is fine.
Honestly I wouldnt be surprised if they were cannibals. We see they have scars mainly around the face. So mabye they are eachother and that's how they survived for so long. Not connected to radiation. I just think they might be immune. Like they seem to be kharaa
I think it is the fact that they are not entirely immune and if you don't know reaper leviathans are blind so maybe they lost their sight but they endured
I think maybe the pre-cursors made Reaper leviathans after the Degasi crashed on the planet to suck up radiation. They are only found in places near Electricity/Radiation/Ion-power, so this could explain why they live in those places. Eventually they started breeding though, and things got out of hand when the Pre-cursors were no longer there.
Aside from the just a game answer, radiation poisoning takes a long and painful amount of time for those exposed to pass. Length of exposure also does shorten the time.
This is a super old video! So, I apologize for the bad editing. Trust me, my editing is now a lot better. Also, sorry for the somewhat cringe intro...

(Trust google). The reaper leviathan’s skin could be the reason why the massive beast doesn’t just keel over and die. The skin could be dense witch would be another reason why it takes 50+ slashes of a thermal knife to kill this leviathan. (I counted). Due to the density of the skin this could be the reason the reaper leviathan doesn’t die. But of corse a lot of the time games don’t need an explanation to make them fun. If they did then speedy wouldn’t be posting this amazing video. If you ask me the more less things are explained the more fun they are. ( like with goat simulator’s wack physics, they just make the game fun, not accurate at all. Maybe the developers just didn’t think about this question. Just because this topic exists doesn’t make the game less fun. The game is perfect and doesn’t need an explanation for it to be fun. You always look at the gargantuan leviathan skeletal remains and don’t think “how did it get here”. You get a sense of shock at the size. (Speedy if you read this it might be a decent video topic). The topic, time and effort in these questions and videos is always appreciated. None the less, thank you for the amazing content, and keep up the good work. 👌👌

That's a good point.
I’m pretty sure the reapers are attracted to noise, which makes sense why there in the mountains, crash zone, and dunes, dunes has a lot of wrecks and there’s that meteor from a long time ago, which most likely means the dunes could be the ancient home of the reapers, QEP shooting Aurora probably brought reapers there, and the aurora crashing was like a hotspot. Without watching the video yet, i think it’s probably because they’re so big or they eat lead
Suddenly this in my recommended, i must say. Good commentary!
3:52 let's all. Say it that's the most probable one, same with the biters and those other "fishes" that suck your blood in the radioactive engine thingy there
It's definitely a likely possibility.
I can’t find any reapers near my crash zone since I never repaired the drive core
They are still there
My PDA has told me to repair it but I’ve never done it and I’ve almost beaten the game
Yeah, you don't need to do it, but if you're already going to the Aurora to beat the game, you might as well repair the drive core.
SpeedyMouse yeah I went to the aurora but didn’t repair the drive core because I forgot
@@null_502 Yeah, it's not gonna affect you beating the game or not at all. It really just doesn't matter.
It just makes Maneuvering around the Crash site easier
Very true because you don't have to worry about radiation.
Hey I’m late but I got a good vid idea where u should talk about the connections with Riley and the sea emperor
Maybe the reaper wasn’t at the crash site when it happened and it lives off radiation and it could tell radiation was coming from the aurora so it traveled from its previous habitat place (Crater Edge) and the reason the is few of the reaper is because it fought with the ghost lav
Awesome video I love your TH-cam channel
I really want to Make a sub Nautica video
their skin has a special light color so maybe that makes it amune or its red hairs might absorb and catapult of radiation.
Mouse:one of the most terrifying leviathans ever
Me:he’s so adorable
What I’m not adorable I’m terrifying
Man u sound young, im so impressed with quality of the video haha... keep doing videos, i like ur content!
The reapers just smack the radiation away with those leg fins
Ne we don’t need to we’re build different
We are talking about a alien planet here. The animals might work a lot differently there, maybe there Dna is more immune. Or they might not even have Dna, they might have a completly different thing. But it's most likely that the devs didn't though of this thing which is fine.
I think because it was only A leek every thing around the aroura now are immune
Imo the scariest part of the reaper is their arm fins, just the long fins shaped like arms/legs with nothing on the end moving while they swim
He ain't scary he just wants hugs
The reapers are (nearly) completely made of muscle so maybe that protects them from the radiation in the area
what if they...live off radiation (i'm pretty sure there is some radiation after you repair the drive core)
Honestly I wouldnt be surprised if they were cannibals. We see they have scars mainly around the face. So mabye they are eachother and that's how they survived for so long. Not connected to radiation. I just think they might be immune. Like they seem to be kharaa
Ok this man is going places
I have a theory. What if the reapers were completely different organisms and the radiation mutated them
This is a really smart kid. I like the videos!
I think it is the fact that they are not entirely immune and if you don't know reaper leviathans are blind so maybe they lost their sight but they endured
I think maybe the pre-cursors made Reaper leviathans after the Degasi crashed on the planet to suck up radiation. They are only found in places near Electricity/Radiation/Ion-power, so this could explain why they live in those places. Eventually they started breeding though, and things got out of hand when the Pre-cursors were no longer there.
Aside from the just a game answer, radiation poisoning takes a long and painful amount of time for those exposed to pass. Length of exposure also does shorten the time.
