i think the no breaking surface rule should be an exectption for the floating islands because you need to go on them to get all of the achivements and to complete the story
I'm guessing that's where Gun Island comes in. If you enter through the moonpool then use the teleporter I could argue that you can access the islands without technically breaking the surface of the water.
Your voiceover is frankly perfect. I love the pacing of the video and the voiceover, and the audio is balanced better this episode. I'll definitely keep watching this series.
Hopefully you get the leads to visit the Bulb Zone and get some growbeds soon, it's agonising even watching you do a vegetarian diet without them. Good luck with the challenge!
so glad this series got recommended to me. fantastic calm commentary, surprisingly great jokes, and no talking down to the viewers. seriously just a super fun watch keep it up man
I really enjoyed the first part of this series. It was just really well put together and had good flow throughout. I’m only watching part 2 now as it only came out but I just wanted to say that I hope you continue this and also continue to grow on TH-cam And have a good day aswell👍
15:54 yes! I always thought it was interesting that the one who survives the longest was the one who didn't want to exploit or overpower nature. Also, if I remember correctly the Grand Reef PDAs imply that tthey were attacked because Marguerit got the leviathans' attention. (And yeah, BZ does not count. I was so salty when they brought Marguarit back) I really like your narration, especially how you go over the story elements as you encounter them.
usually a lot of try hards take challenges like these and they already know how to play most of the game or have attempted even harder challenges like this in the past. their outlook is that either its totally possible, just long, or that it isn't possible, but they drag you along for like, 6 7 hour streams or something. Your humor and approach to this are a (figurative because its banned for this challenge and all) breath of fresh air! I look forward to what you make next!
I think the breaking the surface rule should be allowed for areas like the two islands as well as the Aurora, as they contain scannable items and PDAs that can't be found anywhere else. Obviously you should only go there when you need to, not just for air, but I still think you should be allowed to set foot on them for story purposes.
He’s allowed to break the surface indoors, so he can get to the island through the alien base, and he’s counting the aurora area as indoors so it should be possible
Honestly, this series is being done so incredibly well. Like, there are a tonne of actually really tense moments which I'm not prepared for! And the editing and pacing is great! Really glad I stumbled upon this, and wish you the best of luck!
This series is so cool! Clever jokes and the semi-roleplay commentary make it really unique. Though I do wonder how you'll get the PDA entries for the islands and the Aurora...
So far I love your sense of humor. If you decide to turn this into a lets play channel I'm here for it. Or just general fun gaming videos would be cool too. Do what you want, but I subbed to see what you make of your channel for now.
I just discovered your channel through this series and cannot wait for more! If you are interested in constructive criticism I do have a suggestion. I love it when the rules pop back up to remind the viewer of the details that may be forgotten. Whenever they pop up I always have the same thought "I wish that each rule had its own colored text so I can tell what rule it is at a glance" I hope that is helpful, keep up the great content!
Great episode. I'm glad you mentioned the extra O2 tanks. I always carry one because I only play on hardcore and I die from getting lost in caves and wrecks without them.
some notes that might be helpful. the Air Bladder can restore 15 seconds of oxygen which is very useful for emergencies while only using one inventory slot as opposed to the 6 that having an extra o2 tank. For normal runs you could also eat (raw) bladderfish for 15 seconds of o2 however this breaks rule 6c (and although turning a fish into a tool doesn't seem like animal lover behavior it doesn't break 6a, 6b, or 6c). Another tip that definitely doesn't break any rules is that beacons keep their name when you pick them up meaning you can rename a beacon somewhere safe and then easily deploy it without having to risk spending time typing in a dangerous situation
Subbed! The editing and commentary is so well done in these videos. I agree with a post below, get a catchy thumbnail to unify the video series, that should really help with views.
Very cool video! You should consider maybe looking up a tutorial for youtube thumbnail advice, though, because your current ones are very bare-bones, and i’ve heard that thumbnails are crazy important to the youtube algorithm.
im enjoying the episodes of this, reminds me of old jacksepticeye videos. It feels like every video today gets these challenges done in 20 minutes, but this feels more like we play alongside
Something you could do for the islands would be building a base that you can enter from underwater and exit on the island itself. That way there's absolutely no air-related benefit derived from going up on land
i love the game, but i'm too adhd to watch ordinary letsplays. thanks for guiding me through the plot as it's supposed to go and being creative in doing so! this is so much fun to watch! (hope you won't die)
I think a cool workaround to the no surfacing rule should be that when you go up to the islands, you submerge WITHOUT an oxygen tank, so that the stakes are much higher. Perhaps build a base right below them?
i think people saying you should carry another o2 tank underestimate how much reliance the player has on mobile storage methods that you arent going to have access to lol. I wish this game did inventory at least a little like factorio - give you a couple more rows as you progress through armor tiers.
i would still always carry at least 2 blader fishes. Those give you 15 seconds more oxygen when eaten and can save you many times from drowning (speaking from experience)
Good tip, but I think our hero can't use it because of rule 6c - Animal Lover: Vegetarian, no eating fauna, filtered water, or nutrient bars. Still a good tip for those of us unburdened by regulations or moral imperatives.
itd be a stretch since every area it can be found in is swarmed by reapers, but you should try to go for the still suit, so you don't have to eat so many creep vines to get water back, or other flora on the planet.
I subscribed for this challenge, I love watching people torture themselves with hard challenges in games haha
Same. Gamechamp is the best channel for that but between the uploads we have to make do with others
Same here
same
Same here😂
Ever heard of BastiGHG? You'd love his challenges ;)
love that during the "allllllllllllll" at 10:06, you take a breath right when youre getting oxygen from the brain coral, really fun little touch lol
i think the no breaking surface rule should be an exectption for the floating islands because you need to go on them to get all of the achivements and to complete the story
Yep, there's several PDA logs in there along with flora you can't find anywhere else.
I think you can get on the islands without "breaking the surface", so this should be fine for now.
I'm guessing that's where Gun Island comes in. If you enter through the moonpool then use the teleporter I could argue that you can access the islands without technically breaking the surface of the water.
@@DuffTerrall This is true.
Your voiceover is frankly perfect. I love the pacing of the video and the voiceover, and the audio is balanced better this episode.
I'll definitely keep watching this series.
If this man can do this, I can probably beat the normal game.
let us know how that goes :3
People like you keep the game alive, i'm so glad to see how this game still gets content ideas out of nowhere. Cant wait to see the next part!!
I have been playing since 2018 intermittently and I just beat my first legit playthrough two nights ago. You got this!
Hopefully you get the leads to visit the Bulb Zone and get some growbeds soon, it's agonising even watching you do a vegetarian diet without them. Good luck with the challenge!
so glad this series got recommended to me. fantastic calm commentary, surprisingly great jokes, and no talking down to the viewers. seriously just a super fun watch keep it up man
hey man, excelent vid. I am a subnautica old player, deathrun hardcore completionist, and i must say: your channel deserves more views. Keep it up. 🔥
18:36 Oh, I'll be back alright 😁
This is fire, I don't see any reason to miss out
@LunaticLacewing Exactly bro. Underrated content creator!
I will to
The fact that a man can still make good content over an almost decade old game and still get views is amazing.
I love this series already!! Your voiceovers and script are really engaging and I love how difficult the challenge is
Keep up the great work :)
HELL YEAHHHH NEW EPISODE
This series got me back into the game
I really enjoyed the first part of this series. It was just really well put together and had good flow throughout.
I’m only watching part 2 now as it only came out but I just wanted to say that I hope you continue this and also continue to grow on TH-cam
And have a good day aswell👍
Excited to see where this goes

WOOOOOO. I just finished part one yesterday and was dreading a long wait.
This is the most engaging playthrough of subnautica I’ve ever seen, keep it up!
I had no idea i was watching someone with only 3k subs! Keep up the great work man, these videos are a fun watch
Can’t wait for the next episode!
Give me more father I must consume

I think there is mods that make it so you can't breathe the surface air meaning no refilling oxygen there
He’s allowed to break the surface indoors, so he can get to the island through the alien base, and he’s counting the aurora area as indoors so it should be possible
Either one or both islands (I forget which) have caves where you can surface, which isn't "outdoors" so it should be allowed.
I'm absolutely loving this series! You're so fun to watch
ive been waiting for this one
Great video, your story telling / roleplaying is astonishing
you're such a good storyteller and this series is so great!
The editing and entertainment value are superb by the way. Keep at it and the big numbers will roll in, im sure 😊
Honestly, this series is being done so incredibly well. Like, there are a tonne of actually really tense moments which I'm not prepared for! And the editing and pacing is great! Really glad I stumbled upon this, and wish you the best of luck!
So glad I found you, your pretty entertaining, keep it up, we're all waiting for part 3.
This series is so cool! Clever jokes and the semi-roleplay commentary make it really unique. Though I do wonder how you'll get the PDA entries for the islands and the Aurora...

I NEED MOREEEEE!! No seriously though, genuinely really enjoying this series so far, amazing quality too, keep it up!
Great episode. I'm glad you mentioned the extra O2 tanks. I always carry one because I only play on hardcore and I die from getting lost in caves and wrecks without them.
I've been loving watching this run, good stuff man!
I really enjoy the way you are making this challenge about progressing as the game intended makes you appreciate it more

Great content, gj mate. I agree the game is primarily an exploration game, so lovingly crafted, an absolute gem.
Subbed! The editing and commentary is so well done in these videos. I agree with a post below, get a catchy thumbnail to unify the video series, that should really help with views.
Love the videos man! Reminds me quite a lot of the older glory days of TH-cam.
I love your narration dude, looking forward to the next part!
I am loving this series so much! Please continue
This is exactly the sort of ridiculous nonsense i am here for
Loving this series so far, I can't wait for part 3!
Thanks for your series man, you've inspired me to do my first run of hardcore subnautica. Time to face my fear of reapers lol. Keep up the good work
My dude you are gonna blow up, this is awesome stuff
I subbed last video and I am not disappointed, can’t wait for the next one!
thank you for helping me procrastinate on studying for finals 🙏😔
i just discovered the first episode earlier in the afternoon and immediatly subscribed, so i'm very pleased to get a new episode this soon ^^
Very cool video! You should consider maybe looking up a tutorial for youtube thumbnail advice, though, because your current ones are very bare-bones, and i’ve heard that thumbnails are crazy important to the youtube algorithm.
i like making thumbnails extremely silly shitty photoshops representative of the episode
I subscribed for the series, I cant wait to see how the rest goes and for future challenges
This is such a good series so far! Can’t wait for the latest episode 😁
im enjoying the episodes of this, reminds me of old jacksepticeye videos. It feels like every video today gets these challenges done in 20 minutes, but this feels more like we play alongside
Something you could do for the islands would be building a base that you can enter from underwater and exit on the island itself. That way there's absolutely no air-related benefit derived from going up on land
keep doing the good work
Yes! I didn't notice you uploaded this. Time to chill for 20 mins.
I cannot understate how much of a treat it is to watch a video from a week ago, and the sequel to come out a couple hours later 💞💞
Looking forward to part 3! Great video and challenge
This is a great series I love this can’t wait for part 3
It has been long time since I've played Subnautica... Well.. this brings those memories ❤️
Just caught part one a few hours ago. My lucky day that this uploaded while i was out of the house for when im back now😂
Good stuff man. Love this type of video tbh.
My favorite genre of TH-cam video. Creative self-inflicted suffering :)
i love the game, but i'm too adhd to watch ordinary letsplays. thanks for guiding me through the plot as it's supposed to go and being creative in doing so! this is so much fun to watch! (hope you won't die)
Playing the game vanilla is hard enough i feel but this challenge is crazy. looking forward to following along
I think a cool workaround to the no surfacing rule should be that when you go up to the islands, you submerge WITHOUT an oxygen tank, so that the stakes are much higher. Perhaps build a base right below them?
I'm so happy you made the second part
dude these videos are so good you hundreds of thousands of views!
I've been waiting for this one!
16:05 ''Bart lives the longest out of the three'' or so we thought...
Really cool series, and excellent commentary.
Goated series
Keep it up man, its a fun watch
Including a thalassophobia warning in a game that's 100% underwater is pretty funny x)
Love this series man keep it up
Forgot to sub last time. Glad yt recommended you again
Back for part two so that’s worth a sub. Thanks for suffering for our entertainment!
loving the series man :))
Perfext timing, i couldn't find any other videos rn
i think people saying you should carry another o2 tank underestimate how much reliance the player has on mobile storage methods that you arent going to have access to lol.

@ oh i didnt realise that😅
Oh yeah just in time for sleep
yooooo keep up the great content my man
itd be a stretch since every area it can be found in is swarmed by reapers, but you should try to go for the still suit, so you don't have to eat so many creep vines to get water back, or other flora on the planet.
Amazing serie, keep it up!
Thanks for the great videos, I'll be back for the next one👍
looking forward to the next one!
LOVE THIS SERIES
This run is somewhat similar to how I initially played. Not for the challenges, but because you didn't use vehicles and made small bases everywhere.
Heck yeha looking forward to seeing more
7:40 better does end in r.
x'DD
This convinced me yer funny.
Huge challenge run enjoyer here, and I think you have great editing! could work on the pacing of the voiceover a tad, but I like what you are doing!
consider me a subscriber!
Ah yes, you totally couldnt check out that portal because you were low on oxygen... not because of what came out of the portal at all... yes...
You could probably use air bladders for extra o2 in emergencies
Could also surface for extra air lol
@@lackofsins929 but that's against the rules of the challenge
Air bladders are made with the body of a bladderfish, so probably against his rules
@purevessle2641 So are air bladders, hence why I suggested it with a lol
@@lackofsins929 oh, ok, I have never played the game so I was not aware of this, thanks for clearing it up
just in time
Love the narrative
Question- if you're going for 100% all achievements, how do you plan to get the island Degasi PDA's?
I started playing with the no surfacing, and the game is waaaay more fun now.
