Still pretty epic, but I don't think anything can top when Tom killed the sea dragon with the grapple/drill arm combo like fucking batman. That shit was insane
Tom shouting, "I was the king!!!" In utter terror as the leviathan returned has got to be one of the best moments of the series. (Also, are the rock grubs the baby form of the big dude? like in dune. seems possible, since the "inedible" tag sets them apart from other little critters in the game)

He used to ruuuuule the caves Leviathans would run when he gave the word Now every morning he stares below At the deadly crushing lows He used to wield his knife Feel the fear in his enemy's eyes Listen as the lads would sing "Now the Crystal King is dead! Long live the king!"
Game developers: Noooo! You can't just kill the biggest enemy in the game without even getting the right equipment first! You're supposed to just avoid it! Tom: heh heh, hot knife go stab
Who would win. The absolute apex predator of a planet, the product of million of years of evolution crafted to be the ultimate killer, or, one Angory boi?
I was half expecting a second shadow leviathan to show up almost immediately (since there's normally more than one of every creature in the game). The delay on the arrival was absolutely hilarious of a reaction. Guess it's time for that rematch. Glad that Tom's finally going to meet Marguerit after so long.
I built my deep sea base right where Tom enters the crystal caves; right by the first large cluster of purple gems. I started Re8, and so took a break from BZ to complete that. This video is the first I'm learning that I built my base 200 meters from a Shadow Leviathan. I'm moving now. Thanks Tom. 👍🏽
Tom’s massive panic when the second leviathan showed up- omfg. Hysterical! “I’m the king!” - Tom “Look at me. I am the captain now.” - Second Leviathan.
Tom you MANIAC. Taking on Leviathans with a POCKET KNIFE. What a guy. I think they respawn though, so whenever he kills one, he's only buying some time.
Yeah. Unfortunately all the "KILLING EVERY LEVITHAN ON THE MAP!" twitch streamers earned the ire of the devs who intended for your character to be a biologist/passive explorer, so they removed the two mechanics that made killing them worthwhile: the fact that they never respawned, and the stasis rifle breaking the fear factor of the game.
Are you sure they respawn? I haven’t seen the ones I killed come back. I know the developers respawned everything on launch day, but since then it’s been pretty quiet.
I stopped following Below Zero's development around a year or two ago because I wanted to experience the new story blind alongside a let's player (which ended up being Tom) so I've seen the Shadow Leviathan before, but only as concept art and animation tests. Having my first survival exposure to the beast being Tom immediately deciding to kill it is freakin' hilarious!
I did the same, I am actually surprised how easily Tom just stumbles on all of the story stuff. Took me ages and ages to discover omega lab, or the valley with the trees leading to the frozen leviathan. Going around in circles and just missing the right path over and over again. And now I've spent hours trying to locate Marguerit's greenhouse, even though she's already told me it's 1km east of the drop-pod... And I missed the habitat builder about 6 or 7 times while walking right past it
@@NotMurkan If it helps, I'm pretty sure her greenhouse is east of the island. She gives that message immediately after you disable the satellite which means you're on that island when she says she's 1km east of you.
Finding Marguerite was a good thing her base has tech you are missing. Especially for dealing with leviathans. Help here out and you will get access to some really good food. I have yet to see a stasis rifle in below zero but vortex torpedoes have a similar effect.
Daily reminder that Tom is an amazing person and to thank him for all he has done/will do - Day 559 God we encountered the Shadow Leviathan the other day, and by encounter I mean we got the PDA warning, saw its glow in the distance and promptly shat ourselves in panic and ran for the hills XD (I know we are going to have to go back though and it scares me) WOW, I am first amazed Tom defeated the SL, even though it was cheaty. But my god, that point where he was so high and mighty only to come crashing down and shit himself was amazing and just hilarious XDI can't think of anything more Tom, just AMAZING XD Interestingly we found the lady first, then all the other stuff around the area XD (I mean we also got her warning when we where in search and long before finding the Mercury II)
I love all the different biomes in this game, the starter ones are cool aquatic stuff but I've been enjoying the neon area of the base and the other alien looking stuff like the crystal caves
Also the deeper areas of the Crystal Caves are a fantastic spot for a scanner room. At max range upgrades you can see the whole structure, as well as several other cave systems surrounding it.
To be honest, just avoiding the leviathans is easier and adds less time than going out of your way to kill them. The thing is - almost every aquatic predator is slower than you and is bound to a very tight roaming box. Just move past them and wave
@@pegusus12346 I was using the prawn, and usually they just wouldn't spot me or get confused by the landscape and get left behind. I only got caught 3 times, out of which 2 were on purpose to scan them while they munch on the prawn
This is the first part of below zero I've seen that really feels like it's captured the magic of the first game. I was worried that the devs had almost completely removed the horror elements from the series. The king has returned!!
im gonna post a "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRHH" comment just this once. There are 13 achievements in this game im counting on you completing all of them Tom :) * *smiles trustingly* *
Seeing that Shark Tale clip reminded me that one of the whale cleaners had headphones on... I wonder if anyone has done a "They can't hear us! They're wearing AirPods!" meme with them.
I was really hoping you would have gotten "Clever Girl'd" when you killed the Shadow Leviathan. What happened will do though, that will do Tom. That will do.
Mandatory Algorithmic Comment Because We Love Tom And The Editing! Knowing there were more then one; Omfg, I felt like I stopped breathing when The Return Of The King happened, omfg, I'm still giggling.
OHHH SHIT I WAS THE THE KING! THE KING! Tom just in full panic ranting about The King... Funniest thing I've seen in ages. This is why I love Toms stuff.
I cant believe how cocky Tom got when he took down the big guy but when the second one popped up i just couldn't help but smile. i'm calling the second shadow leviathan Aragon because its return of the king (Gimli's Crystal caverns and all).
You can build moon pools cant you , you should already be able to dock at the base.. at least i think so. Then again i was confused in the last episode why you couldn't grow crops in your alien containment, maybe it needs to be 2 rooms tall? or be the mutli purpose room version, I have a 3 room tall multi purpose room tank that i can grow things in no problem.
Gondor would have been much better off, had they just ben able to spawn a new King.... Also why no electro shockerino in the seatruck? Used to scare them off or let them release you.
The utter panic when the king returned was glorious
12:58 for rewatching the glorious moment.
The shaking absolute panic was great and he did manage to escape.
That moment when that second Leviathan came back was probably the funniest thing I have witnessed in a very long time, haha.
The SUBNAUTICA devs saw Tom play the first game and was like: ‘Huh, well that’s an easy fix.’
@@currymcflurry7839 they don’t respawn, there are two in that area
@@synonymrolls8531 ah okay, just a coincidence then, sorry I haven’t actually played the game so just assumed
Still pretty epic, but I don't think anything can top when Tom killed the sea dragon with the grapple/drill arm combo like fucking batman. That shit was insane
Hunting isn't what it used to be.
omfg when was that?
@@petralizzy7383 towards the end of his playthrough of the first game, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend
The pain in Tom's voice when he's says "Can I not kill...." nearly broke my heart.
The frustration at the end of basically going through all of the Crystal Caves only to find Margaret, priceless.
Tom shouting, "I was the king!!!" In utter terror as the leviathan returned has got to be one of the best moments of the series. (Also, are the rock grubs the baby form of the big dude? like in dune. seems possible, since the "inedible" tag sets them apart from other little critters in the game)
The code in the assets folder refers to rockgrub as Rock Puncher larvae. But according to Wiki, it's their food. And it's why Rock Punchers punch rocks lol
@@cyrilleyong9615 Huh, thanks! That's cool too.

Tom: finds a hidey hole
The leviathan: why do i hear boss music?
😆
He used to ruuuuule the caves
Leviathans would run when he gave the word
Now every morning he stares below
At the deadly crushing lows
He used to wield his knife
Feel the fear in his enemy's eyes
Listen as the lads would sing
"Now the Crystal King is dead! Long live the king!"
Fantastic
Now I want the full song. Couldn’t help but sing this. Really like it!
Of course there is more than one, tom. There's always a bigger fish.
That's a bit of a step up in intensity from the last video - zen garden to MONSTER MURDER
Game developers: Noooo! You can't just kill the biggest enemy in the game without even getting the right equipment first! You're supposed to just avoid it!
Tom: heh heh, hot knife go stab
The True King of Leviathans has returned. Tom the Knife guy
seeing toms mouse shake violently as he yells “I WAS THE KIIIING!” really just sells the whole scene I think
For real! That was hilarious
Who would win. The absolute apex predator of a planet, the product of million of years of evolution crafted to be the ultimate killer, or, one Angory boi?
To be fair, humans are also an apex predator from a death world, but also with metal tools
wel there are already bigger fish we've seen so it's not the apex
*1000 Degree KNIFE VS LEVIATHAN* (Not Clickbait!!!)
I was half expecting a second shadow leviathan to show up almost immediately (since there's normally more than one of every creature in the game).

If you build a scanner room you can keep track of it. Or the prawn suit is a pretty solid leviathan killer in this game as well.
Who are you to deny the return of the king? STEWARD!!
This is a pretty freaking solid reference right here. 🙌
IF THEY BLEED YOU CAN KILL THEM!
just like grandmama used to say
if my math is correct, he had to stab it 125 times to kill it.
This episode could not have had a more "Tom" like series of events. I can't wait to see how it pans out next.
I nearly spilled my coffee from laughter when the king returned
Tom’s massive panic when the second leviathan showed up- omfg. Hysterical!
“I’m the king!” - Tom
“Look at me. I am the captain now.” - Second Leviathan.
Oh my gosh, Tom's utter panic at 12:58 was amazing. You could see the terror in his frantic mouse movements lol

"After the uprising, only knives can be produced by the fabricator"
Meanwhile...
How on earth did Tom encounter the crystal caves and the shadow leviathan before finding Marguerit's base? 😂
I did the same, I am actually surprised how easily Tom just stumbles on all of the story stuff.

@@pegusus12346 That actually makes sense, thanks!
God that both scared me and make me cackle at Tom's freak out
Poll to see what’s more important: 1. Tom “accidentally” killing fish friends? 2. Blindoman on scanning and PDA’s? 3. MYEEEEEEEEH!!!
Got to be the fish murder, and their belligerence in return. Absolutely makes the series for me.
MYEEEEEEEEH!!!
Is it just me or does anyone else absolutely love watching Tom shit his pants? There's just something about him panicking that is hilarious!
Shadow Leviathan:
"help me step-tom! I'm stuck in this crevice!"
Tom maniacly shouting "I'm the king! I'm the king!" reminded me so much of The Repairer of Reputations from The King in Yellow.
Finding Marguerite was a good thing her base has tech you are missing. Especially for dealing with leviathans. Help here out and you will get access to some really good food.
I have yet to see a stasis rifle in below zero but vortex torpedoes have a similar effect.
17:18 I would take the Northwest passage!
Humans are the only species that develop specialized hunting tools but will sometimes eschew those tools for the sake of a challenge
Congrats on usurping the throne and then shitting your pants xD
Great episode as usual!
Also is that the mega survival lady from the first game???
Yes it is
@@jonasquinn7977 Here I thought it was just the same voice actor lmao. That makes so much more sense.
MYEEEEEEGHHHHHHH

Just from the title my immediate thought was: of course he did
I love all the different biomes in this game, the starter ones are cool aquatic stuff but I've been enjoying the neon area of the base and the other alien looking stuff like the crystal caves
14:00 "I can't do anything if you come and attack!" Oh how the tables turned... XD
Tom, don't finish the stuff for Al-an until you finish the other stuff
You handled that second encounter like a boss
Also the deeper areas of the Crystal Caves are a fantastic spot for a scanner room. At max range upgrades you can see the whole structure, as well as several other cave systems surrounding it.
The little Glowy Grubs are what the Puncho-Crabs eat.
In a way, to the Glow Grubs, the Puncho-Crabs are their Shadow Leviathans.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
To be honest, just avoiding the leviathans is easier and adds less time than going out of your way to kill them. The thing is - almost every aquatic predator is slower than you and is bound to a very tight roaming box. Just move past them and wave
I found that to not actually be true with the Shadow Leviathans. Even hitting the afterburner, they were constantly catching me.
@@pegusus12346 I was using the prawn, and usually they just wouldn't spot me or get confused by the landscape and get left behind. I only got caught 3 times, out of which 2 were on purpose to scan them while they munch on the prawn

Love the fun videos, thank you for your work Tom and Josh.
Overconfident glowbug is now my favorite character

Leviathan adrenaline begets Margaritte retreat.

Seeing that Shark Tale clip reminded me that one of the whale cleaners had headphones on...
I wonder if anyone has done a "They can't hear us! They're wearing AirPods!" meme with them.
"I WAS THE KING!!" How the king has become the fool
“It felt great when I was on top” - out of context Tom 2021 🥰
I was going to complain about the massive spoiler in the title, but the suprise of the second leviathan showing up made up for it
Tom forgetting that Leviathan hitboxes only exist around the head
I was really hoping you would have gotten "Clever Girl'd" when you killed the Shadow Leviathan. What happened will do though, that will do Tom. That will do.
That was Hillarious! I waas the kiiing! 12:58
Tom "Leviathan Slayer" Clark returns with a passion.
13:00 had me crying
I feel so bad for these Sea Monkeys.
So friendly, yet they made the mistake of interacting with Tom the Undersea Pirate.
Oooh! Step-diver, what are you doing?

Omfg, I felt like I stopped breathing when The Return Of The King happened, omfg, I'm still giggling.
6:31 IT'S AN ANGEL!
The moment the second one appeared was Angory Gold.
OHHH SHIT I WAS THE THE KING!
THE KING!
Tom just in full panic ranting about The King... Funniest thing I've seen in ages. This is why I love Toms stuff.
Marguerit! Idk if you'd remember at all Tom but she was mentioned in some of the audio logs in the first game.
I mean hunting everything to extinction is a goal too.:P
The I am king to peasant is such a graceful fall
I cant believe how cocky Tom got when he took down the big guy but when the second one popped up i just couldn't help but smile. i'm calling the second shadow leviathan Aragon because its return of the king (Gimli's Crystal caverns and all).
We shouldn't be surprised. If a Sea Dragon Leviathan couldn't stand before Tom's might, then what hope would a mere Shadow Leviathan have?
Natural selection baby, if a BIG fish gets stuck on a rock it’s a mercy kill at that point
Every other streamer gets the shock module to deal with the lavithan. Tom goes hardcore with a knife 🔪
Really finding it odd being called Alan for this one…
No, Tom! I have no tips!
That shadow leviathan made me Shat myself too.
I hope Tom realised this is the same Margaret from the first game from the degasi bases
Mr Editer you make me giggle. Thank you
HAHA YEAH!!!! The hubris of tom
*I don't think I want to get eaten.* Angory Tom 2021
is anyone gonna tell him the stasis rifle isnt in this game?
Blood for the blood gods tom, even if it's green.
Peace was never an option
This was a great ep
If they game didn't want you to cheese monsters caught on rocks, they wouldn't program monsters to get caught in rocks!
That's one crossed off the list! Now for the others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MYEEEEEEHHHHHH!
JK Loving these videos Tom.
If you use the shock truck upgrade and continually ram it it'll die before half your truck health is gone
THE JUKES
Anyone else noticed it's Maida the mercenary from the first game??? :0
Super Genius Tom.
I love this!
I guess you should consider getting the thing that you can place waypoints to find your way out
Kneel before Z..TOM!
I was hoping he would run into a Lily Paddler big time.
MYYYAYAAAAAAAAAAH!

You can grow crops, he just missed it, he hovered over the option to do so in an earlier video
Gondor would have been much better off, had they just ben able to spawn a new King....
Also why no electro shockerino in the seatruck? Used to scare them off or let them release you.
Omg the second leviathan im dying
