The silence lets you know you truly fucked up lmao. I remember my first time going there (on purpose, just to see what it was like) and getting the PDA warning, then immediately speeding back where I came from. The second time I accidentally went into the zone, I didn't get a PDA warning, and I couldn't figure out why I was so uneasy until I stopped speeding ahead and saw nothing around , then realized there wasn't any music and knew I fucked up. I tried to turn around, but it was too late by then.
@NotARealChannel I was trying to get to the crystal caves for the first time, just having bought the game, I kept going down and then it just goes silent and not to mention the void chelicerae are massive
I did that on subnatica 1 and panicked hard freaking core, lost my seamoth but survivd. What made it worse was that i got turned around a little in my panicked which is why i lost my seamoth.
You know what scares me most about the void? Its not the creatures that we see, but the fear of other nonseeable creatures. Bigger, scarier, deadlier.......
Fun fact : In the first game of subnautica , when you reach the dead zone and the PDA gives you the data about the void , it says "Microscopic and leviathan lifeforms" Meaning that apart from ghostleviathans there are other leviathans , and this can be seen in below zero.
@Mɪᴋᴇ what's even scarier is that when they said microscopic, they might have been talking about the ghost leviathans. Which would mean *_theres something much larger than the ghosty bois_*
I had that experience with the cryptosuchas. I thought they were a little bigger than the player, until one got stuck inside of a room in the Mercury and the scale made it obvious that they're actually like 25 feet long
Subnautica screws with your perception of how big things are Did you know that Stalkers are 18 feet long or about the length of a average great white shark
IKR. You don’t understand how big they are when your in your sub or just on your own. What is it that makes everything look small until you see it in comparison to stuff

While technically true, I doubt they would get much bigger than they are. The larger they grow the more energy they require and the longer it takes to molt.

That's why lobster never get gigantic, the could grow forever, but they either get killed first, starve, or die during molting.

This is a really good theory, it really makes you think what’s really in the void apart from these demonic husks of dead flesh. Btw the fungal infection in ants you were talking about is called a cordysep which cause a spore expelling mushroom to grow out of there head’s originating from there brain, so what if the cordysep in there brain cannot penetrate the skull so it moves down the body in the process degrading the leviathans skin eventually reaching a point we’re it can grow the mushroom out of the leviathan and spreads the spores through the ocean (not effecting humans)
1. The whole skin thing can just be explained away with their name. Chelicerates are actually a subphylum of arthropods which contain things like arachnids and horseshoe crabs. So it could just be that these things are overdue for a molt. 2. How do they eat? Well cannibalism isn't uncommon for predatory animals. They would probably eat everything and anything they come in contact with.
@@martingonzalez3629 that and what the PDA said about the void having and I quote, "microscopic and *leviathan* class life forms". So basically they feed on other leviathans. (Who knows they might even start a fight between them, and the ghost leviathans.)
The other ghost leviathans where juvenile. Their life cycle is pretty much seen from start to end in the first game. They hatch by the ghost tree, grow up in the caverns, then move to the dead zone because it's the only place that can house them.
Imagine just having a nice nap in your totally safe and secure underwater base, and waking up to see a whole ass leviathan swimming through your walls 🔥🔥
As a person who is fascinated with sea life but also deathly afraid of it, I find this game so captivating though I could never play it for myself. So I just watch TH-cam videos of it instead.
it was exactly like this for me too, but then i got the games to try, and little by little you will overcome your fear just like anything else and gain control over the sea, and its a pretty good feeling. im not saying these shrimp things wont ever stop freaking me out though:)
@Kryvi no not yet, working on getting into the lost river still, idk the proper organized way to play either. I know there's a streamlined way of doing it but I'm ignorant to it lol
Update: I have added a cage to watch the chelicerates in the water at th-cam.com/video/i7yUtIKq1xY/w-d-xo.html Update 2: I used my cage to kill the void chelicerates (they don't respawn) at th-cam.com/video/ds_LGNdktwY/w-d-xo.html Hey folks, small update with answering some common questions about this base: 1) The corridors along the dead zone (and multipurpose rooms outside the dead zone) all have as many reinforcements as possible to keep the hull integrity manageable. You can see this at the start when I enter the first multipurpose room and at the end of the video when you briefly see the non-glass corridors. These sections were at the edge of the dead zone where the chelicerates would despawn and so wasn't as interesting to record. 2) I died once making this from miscalculating how much time I had in the water. When you save and quit and then reload inside your base in the abyss it'll reset the chelicerates giving you a brief window to enter the water and build stuff (most things won't require going into the water, fortunately). You can take three hits with a reinforced diving suit so you're fine for a bit with only one up. 3) I scoured the zones for as much quartz as possible to make this (using a scanner room at times to find bunches I had missed in zones). I hadn't built a prawn suit so if I had opted to do so there were more deposits available. 4) This was done in survival. The purpose of this video was to show off the chelicerates with a base so if you want to believe I did this in creative that's fine. 5) This took several hours to make (a lot of it from backtracking for more quartz). I needed six hours to hit a time limit game over on my laptop for a death compilation so it was some effective multitasking.

I know right! The pov makes the scale seem super off, like in Subnaticua when I was super close to it the Reaper seemed about the same size as the Ghosts 🤣 in BZ the Cryptosuchi looked about the same size as the Chelicerates up close as well
Seeing the one rise up from the depths was really terrific. Being inside the base it sound like breathing... Step foot in the moon pool AAYEAAAEEE. Bonus note: never realised how big these guys are
Swimming straight down looking for the bottom so you can determine what zone you’re in. Then around 400m it sets in: you’re in the dead zone, there is no bottom, and you’re totally exposed in open water. Every real subnautica player knows the feeling.
@@Zzz-dt2dl "only" roughly 3 times the length of the blue whale, largest animal that has ever lived on Earth. But yeah, as far as 4546B goes, there's bigger. Much bigger.
Thanks for reminding me of how absolutely horrified I was the first time I accidentally went into the void and got attacked by this beastie. edit: lmaooo "Sometimes I take a quick dip into the void moon pool just to feel something" moment
People are always bashing Below Zero for how "it's not as scary" and that the chelicerates are "just giant shrimp" and that "the ghost leviathans are scarier" but to be perfectly honest these guys scare me way harder than the ghost leviathans do. The ghost leviathans are just plain cool (though they definitely ARE a bit... _spooky_ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ), while these guys seem more like they just straight-up have rabies. The void chelicerates in particular give me the impression that they have not a single thought running through their heads, and that that they operate purely on destructive impulse. Ghosts almost have a regal air about them. Edit: Also, the way their beaks clip through everything and are large enough to envelop you in darkness through the wall is my _least_ favorite thing.
Ghosts aren’t even all that terrifying tbh, I used to bash the Chelicerates too but after playing a bit and having a few run-ins with them, I think they’re a bit scarier. I will agree that BZ is not nearly as scary as Subnautica though. Since Shadows are super deep underground and Ice Worms are on land, Chelis are the only active leviathan you’ll find in the ocean, whereas in Subnautica you could find both Ghosts and Reapers to attack you. And the only other hostile creature you ever need to worry about are the squid sharks. Plus, you feel a lot less alone in BZ, with ALAN with you for most of the game and all. Not to say that’s bad, because I prefer it. I wasn’t ever able to go passed the grassy plateaus in Subnautica, meanwhile I already have a ton of progress in BZ. Plus, having an actually substantial amount of land exploration is great, unlike to two fairly small islands we got previously
I think this was one of the first times I Truly felt fear of the ocean, just the heavy strokes each emmits as your surroundings are pitch black and cold, with no escape in sight as the orchestra portrays the dire situation is just pure dread
"So this is the bedroom, and... What's that? Oh, those are the Void Chelicerates. I like to call them 'Pale Chellies'. Oh, don't worry about them. They're the least of my problems out here. Just don't go too far out there, alright? The things I've seen... I still get nightmares..."
Everytime I see the void chelicerate first this on my mind is "That shrimp boi need some milk!" (unlike the adult ghost leviathans which were simply bigger, the void chelicerate doesn't even look like a variation, it looks diseased). I honestly find the creatures on the first game more scary and original(?) (particularly the reaper leviathans), but since basically everything that's not a peeper scares the daylights out of me I realize I'm not the most unbiased individual here 😅
I apologize for being comment #70 and making it no longer 69 nice comments but thank you for sharing this! Awesome base, and I really like the shallow observation deck, as it’s cool to see them in different lighting. I especially loved that shot when you were running along the hallway while one was swimming over you and you could see along its whole belly. It really gives a sense of just how huge these are compared to the young ones. Amazing build, hilarious video description, and this is very well-shot and put together. Thank you again!
They look like messed up versions of real leviathan. But they look like they are rotting. I cant imagine a ghost leviathan mixed with cherillian. Its probably gonna be way scary. Im sure the below zero leviathans in the void is more scary
I mean It has about the same amount as the last game doesn’t it? Chelicerates, Shadow Leviathans, Ice Worms, the big jellyfish I forget the name of, that’s 4 Then Subnautica had Reapers, Ghosts, Sea Dragons, Reefbacks, Sea Treaders (are those leviathans? I think so) and then the Sea Emperor, which hardly counts since you don’t see it until end-game/post-game There’s really only a difference of 1, and each game has the same amount of hostile leviathans. Maybe it just feels like less since the Ice Worms are on land?
I feel like The Void might be more terrifying in Below Zero, because at least the Ghost Leviathans are bioluminescent and you can see them coming for you, whereas with Void Chelicerates you do not have that same comfort.
imagine having a bed in the void. who'd be able t sleep there? idc about big void fishies but if there's a slight error in building these things the water pressure may destroy them in your sleep. terrifying way to go
My hot take is that I find these things 20x scarier than the ghosts. Unlike the ghost these ones aren’t supposed to be massive, something is wrong with them. The fact that unlike ghosts they’re activly carnivorous instead of territorial is also horrifying
This person: large and well organised and decorated base in a thoughtfully chosen location Me, placing a single multipurpose room in an almost somewhat convenient location, powered by a single radioactive rod with the occasional useful object scattered around:
The Void Chelicerate has a certain gracefulness in swimming that reminds me of the Reaper Leviathan from the first game. However, the Reaper’s roar was bone-chilling in comparison.
You really notice that you're en the void when the music suddenly stops, the water turns in to an liveless blue color and you start falling in a topless void were the scariest and biggest monsters are nothing compared with the ones you could imagine and fear. You're alone, no plants o other animals to see just you and the Infiniti of the void. A very simple but greatly effective form of a terrorific that almost no one can ignore. Subnautica is a masterpiece
the fact that their models clip through the walls to the extent that they do is pretty unfortunate and kind of immersion ruining. but still, an unhealthy amount of adrenaline and fear hormone were delivered to my brain as promised
A detail i find interesting is, much like waterbin real life, these giant monsters straight up disappear when they get a certain distance and gradually reapear when they get closer. The way the shadowy form move in the distance is both eery and cool.
Humans watching these demon fish: exist. The plankton in the sea having to deal with large fish: *finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary!*
Man i really really really want the next Subnautica Game to have an actual Storydriven Ecological Dead Zone where you actually have to go that Deep or far out to get something what you need to collect or doing mutiple tasks. I think the developers need to take the oppurtunity that the Dead Zone gives and make something that you fear. It's kinda loss potential.
When I look at the void I don’t see those creatures as the main threat. Just imagine the immense cold in a ocean of pitch black, where supposedly the winter time would be an infinite night like Earth’s Arctic’s.

The other ghost leviathans where juvenile. Their life cycle is pretty much seen from start to end in the first game. They hatch by the ghost tree, grow up in the caverns, then move to the dead zone because it's the only place that can house them.
The scariest thing is when they glitch through the walls of the base
That has the opposite effect for me because it reminds my mind that it's a video game.
They need to fix that crap, lazy bastards.
Imagine just having a nice nap in your totally safe and secure underwater base, and waking up to see a whole ass leviathan swimming through your walls 🔥🔥
@@gregoryl.levitre9759If they enable collision on the entities, then loads of bugs and glitches are possible.
Alternative title: I built my base in thi- WTF IS THAT FISH
As a person who is fascinated with sea life but also deathly afraid of it, I find this game so captivating though I could never play it for myself.
So I just watch TH-cam videos of it instead.
Same
it was exactly like this for me too, but then i got the games to try, and little by little you will overcome your fear just like anything else and gain control over the sea, and its a pretty good feeling. im not saying these shrimp things wont ever stop freaking me out though:)
I recently got the balls to play the 1st one. I own this one, I can barely play it, this game developed my thallasalophoboa

@Kryvi no not yet, working on getting into the lost river still, idk the proper organized way to play either. I know there's a streamlined way of doing it but I'm ignorant to it lol
I haven't played this one yet but as a marine bio student, it warms my heart to see gamers saying "chelicerate" 🥺
I've likely pronounced it incorrectly each time I've tried to say it on stream.

Got any information on those giant squids? 🧐

@@ceilidhmacmullin The question ain’t about this game
Update: I have added a cage to watch the chelicerates in the water at th-cam.com/video/i7yUtIKq1xY/w-d-xo.html
Update 2: I used my cage to kill the void chelicerates (they don't respawn) at th-cam.com/video/ds_LGNdktwY/w-d-xo.html
Hey folks, small update with answering some common questions about this base:
1) The corridors along the dead zone (and multipurpose rooms outside the dead zone) all have as many reinforcements as possible to keep the hull integrity manageable. You can see this at the start when I enter the first multipurpose room and at the end of the video when you briefly see the non-glass corridors. These sections were at the edge of the dead zone where the chelicerates would despawn and so wasn't as interesting to record.
2) I died once making this from miscalculating how much time I had in the water. When you save and quit and then reload inside your base in the abyss it'll reset the chelicerates giving you a brief window to enter the water and build stuff (most things won't require going into the water, fortunately). You can take three hits with a reinforced diving suit so you're fine for a bit with only one up.
3) I scoured the zones for as much quartz as possible to make this (using a scanner room at times to find bunches I had missed in zones). I hadn't built a prawn suit so if I had opted to do so there were more deposits available.
4) This was done in survival. The purpose of this video was to show off the chelicerates with a base so if you want to believe I did this in creative that's fine.
5) This took several hours to make (a lot of it from backtracking for more quartz). I needed six hours to hit a time limit game over on my laptop for a death compilation so it was some effective multitasking.
Chelicerates are way scarier than ghost leviathans imo, especially the dead zone ones.
Its because they dont glow much
Is because their size or their zombie appearence
Ghosts leviathans are so beautiful
I did not know thay were that big
@@snakespartan4625 like the ghosts,once they grow they need more space so the dead zone/void is the best place to live
" Welcome people, To the Abyss Hotel! " This is Where You can See Void Exclusives! " For extra fun, stick your Feet in The MoonPool, they might Snatch! "
Subnautica always has the “always a bigger fish” trope. I fear the day we go into the void and these get a “bigger fish”
I think the Cheli is scarier than the ghost Leviathan.
Mostly due to being faster and not having a stiff straight body unlike the ghosts.
Ngyes
its wild how just putting them next to a base makes me understand just how massive theses things are in a why I was never able to before
I know right! The pov makes the scale seem super off, like in Subnaticua when I was super close to it the Reaper seemed about the same size as the Ghosts 🤣 in BZ the Cryptosuchi looked about the same size as the Chelicerates up close as well
Seeing the one rise up from the depths was really terrific. Being inside the base it sound like breathing... Step foot in the moon pool AAYEAAAEEE. Bonus note: never realised how big these guys are
Well the ones in the void are bigger than the regular ones
Swimming straight down looking for the bottom so you can determine what zone you’re in. Then around 400m it sets in: you’re in the dead zone, there is no bottom, and you’re totally exposed in open water.
Every real subnautica player knows the feeling.
There actually is a small bit of land 2km down in the dead zone before it drops off into nothing.
It is amazing that you did this, my base is the same size and growing but in the deep twisty bridges area. I'm beyond impressed.
Thanks! Good luck with your base!
Wow! I didn't know old helicerates were that big.
Only 65 meters apparently, basically half the size of a sea dragon…
@@Zzz-dt2dl "only" roughly 3 times the length of the blue whale, largest animal that has ever lived on Earth.
But yeah, as far as 4546B goes, there's bigger. Much bigger.
@@felynecomrade yup
@@Zzz-dt2dl im glad theyre much more smaller now
@@Zzz-dt2dl now theyre little baby
"You are not yet tired enough to sleep"
*Huh. I wonder why*
They be like: *you got games on your phone?*
Chelicerate’s have such cool designs, like something you would have found swimming in primordial seas millions of years ago
Welcome to the abyss hotel enjoy you stay
Me: this is cooI and all but this is just wrong 6:38
I'm always impressed how the players design the habitats. Like really nice architecture and interior design 👍
One power outage on that base and it truly turns into a horror game
Thanks for reminding me of how absolutely horrified I was the first time I accidentally went into the void and got attacked by this beastie.
edit: lmaooo "Sometimes I take a quick dip into the void moon pool just to feel something" moment
I can't tell if the clipping is more or less scary than it would be if it didn't clip
People are always bashing Below Zero for how "it's not as scary" and that the chelicerates are "just giant shrimp" and that "the ghost leviathans are scarier" but to be perfectly honest these guys scare me way harder than the ghost leviathans do. The ghost leviathans are just plain cool (though they definitely ARE a bit... _spooky_ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ), while these guys seem more like they just straight-up have rabies. The void chelicerates in particular give me the impression that they have not a single thought running through their heads, and that that they operate purely on destructive impulse. Ghosts almost have a regal air about them.
Edit: Also, the way their beaks clip through everything and are large enough to envelop you in darkness through the wall is my _least_ favorite thing.
Ghosts aren’t even all that terrifying tbh, I used to bash the Chelicerates too but after playing a bit and having a few run-ins with them, I think they’re a bit scarier.
I will agree that BZ is not nearly as scary as Subnautica though. Since Shadows are super deep underground and Ice Worms are on land, Chelis are the only active leviathan you’ll find in the ocean, whereas in Subnautica you could find both Ghosts and Reapers to attack you. And the only other hostile creature you ever need to worry about are the squid sharks. Plus, you feel a lot less alone in BZ, with ALAN with you for most of the game and all.
Not to say that’s bad, because I prefer it. I wasn’t ever able to go passed the grassy plateaus in Subnautica, meanwhile I already have a ton of progress in BZ. Plus, having an actually substantial amount of land exploration is great, unlike to two fairly small islands we got previously
I always found the void Chelicerate scarier than the Ghost Leviathans. Something about the eyes, mouth and the decaying pale skin.
What really gets me is how much bigger the Void variants are compared to the regular ones.
The description is great
Ik right lol
I have never felt more fear than I had when you jumped into that moon pool.
And I thought the Ghost Leviathans were huge and scary.
@Not a weeb and yet somehow it’s MORE terrifying.
Probably just a perspective thing, anything looks massive when it’s jaws can fit your whole body in them.
I think this was one of the first times I Truly felt fear of the ocean, just the heavy strokes each emmits as your surroundings are pitch black and cold, with no escape in sight as the orchestra portrays the dire situation is just pure dread
I’m not scared of the Chelicerate, but these ghost variants are freaking scary
The fact that there's all that glass and not a single bulkhead door to be found gives me the puckers...
I almost got a heart attack as you jumped into the water and heard the screams....
Damn, this game is awesome!
"So this is the bedroom, and... What's that? Oh, those are the Void Chelicerates. I like to call them 'Pale Chellies'. Oh, don't worry about them. They're the least of my problems out here. Just don't go too far out there, alright? The things I've seen... I still get nightmares..."
God knows what brought the things to such a decayed state. There are things out in the dead zone that are worthy enough to fight these things...
@Daemo Uchiha Reminds me of how juvenile ghosties flee to the dead zone.
@@theostemporium7507 You mean adults, juvenile sticks to Grand Reef, Blood Kelp and Lost River until they're big enough to go to the void
developers: made a dead zone so that players do not float out of the map
Meanwhile players: made an aquarium out of the dead zone...
Everytime I see the void chelicerate first this on my mind is "That shrimp boi need some milk!" (unlike the adult ghost leviathans which were simply bigger, the void chelicerate doesn't even look like a variation, it looks diseased).
I honestly find the creatures on the first game more scary and original(?) (particularly the reaper leviathans), but since basically everything that's not a peeper scares the daylights out of me I realize I'm not the most unbiased individual here 😅
I apologize for being comment #70 and making it no longer 69 nice comments but thank you for sharing this! Awesome base, and I really like the shallow observation deck, as it’s cool to see them in different lighting. I especially loved that shot when you were running along the hallway while one was swimming over you and you could see along its whole belly. It really gives a sense of just how huge these are compared to the young ones. Amazing build, hilarious video description, and this is very well-shot and put together. Thank you again!
You jumping into that pool is scarier than most horror movies
They look like messed up versions of real leviathan. But they look like they are rotting. I cant imagine a ghost leviathan mixed with cherillian. Its probably gonna be way scary. Im sure the below zero leviathans in the void is more scary
Developers need to add more leviathans to this game.
Subnautica was way better then Sub2
I mean
It has about the same amount as the last game doesn’t it?
Chelicerates, Shadow Leviathans, Ice Worms, the big jellyfish I forget the name of, that’s 4
Then Subnautica had Reapers, Ghosts, Sea Dragons, Reefbacks, Sea Treaders (are those leviathans? I think so) and then the Sea Emperor, which hardly counts since you don’t see it until end-game/post-game
There’s really only a difference of 1, and each game has the same amount of hostile leviathans. Maybe it just feels like less since the Ice Worms are on land?
@@KikiCatMeow the squid thing is called a vent garden, and sea treader is a leviathan, but you forgot the glow whale leviathan in bz
@@mantisolivares
this is more of subnautica 1.5 dlc than 2, 2 will pop up later ig
@@chirsal9487 how is it a dlc?
The low rumbles and swishing of the water is strangely calming, I think I'd get better sleep out in the void
I feel like The Void might be more terrifying in Below Zero, because at least the Ghost Leviathans are bioluminescent and you can see them coming for you, whereas with Void Chelicerates you do not have that same comfort.
Also the void chelicerates have a zombified look, almost like they have raibies
my anxiety when he fell into the moonpool:📈📈📈📈📈
Honestly to me the blue is almost scarier. The thought that its brightened up yet you still cant see anything is terrifying
imagine having a bed in the void. who'd be able t sleep there? idc about big void fishies but if there's a slight error in building these things the water pressure may destroy them in your sleep. terrifying way to go
You'll sleep as soundly as the dead in this luxury hotel.
@@CrankyTemplar great slogan, maybe you’ll get some billionaires to pay you? 😭😂
These leviathans look so much scarier than the ghost leviathans from the first Subnautica
what a madlad...to build a base at place like this....
Meanwhile Al-an is regretting not going into the pda instead
Adding a moonpool to that base was like adding a dinner plate
This hotel does offer fine dining.
3:30
Robin: gets out of base
Chelicerate: gets instantly triggered
The void chelicerates do not appreciate your moonpool shenanigans.
YOUR BASE IS SICK YOU'RE A PRO BUILDER
0:59 I love the slight camera jerk, incredibly relatable.
I swear these videos will actually infect me with thalassophobia
Imagine Living there and all you can hear outside is nothing, but then suddenly you hear distant bloodcurdling roar
My hot take is that I find these things 20x scarier than the ghosts. Unlike the ghost these ones aren’t supposed to be massive, something is wrong with them. The fact that unlike ghosts they’re activly carnivorous instead of territorial is also horrifying
Without the base, it looks smaller, but with the base as a reference, it looks gigantic!
It's almost give me heart attack when he jumped off to the moonpool at first time
This person: large and well organised and decorated base in a thoughtfully chosen location
Me, placing a single multipurpose room in an almost somewhat convenient location, powered by a single radioactive rod with the occasional useful object scattered around:
Me, still living out of the life pod: …
The Void Chelicerate has a certain gracefulness in swimming that reminds me of the Reaper Leviathan from the first game. However, the Reaper’s roar was bone-chilling in comparison.
You really notice that you're en the void when the music suddenly stops, the water turns in to an liveless blue color and you start falling in a topless void were the scariest and biggest monsters are nothing compared with the ones you could imagine and fear. You're alone, no plants o other animals to see just you and the Infiniti of the void.
A very simple but greatly effective form of a terrorific that almost no one can ignore. Subnautica is a masterpiece
See its bases like this that make me want Subnautica to have its own Open world multiplayer where u work as a team or go solo to survive.
when you jumped into that moon-pool i had to set my laptop aside out of fear
the fact that their models clip through the walls to the extent that they do is pretty unfortunate and kind of immersion ruining. but still, an unhealthy amount of adrenaline and fear hormone were delivered to my brain as promised
A detail i find interesting is, much like waterbin real life, these giant monsters straight up disappear when they get a certain distance and gradually reapear when they get closer. The way the shadowy form move in the distance is both eery and cool.
Humans watching these demon fish: exist. The plankton in the sea having to deal with large fish: *finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary!*
You jumping in that tiny pool for a split second scared me so bad
And I thought I had to much time on my hands,,, This person's base is so huge and amazing 👏
“We’re generally pretty safe in here, just do NOT go in the moonpool. It’s less of a vehicle bay and more of an accidental feeding pool.”
Man i really really really want the next Subnautica Game to have an actual Storydriven Ecological Dead Zone where you actually have to go that Deep or far out to get something what you need to collect or doing mutiple tasks. I think the developers need to take the oppurtunity that the Dead Zone gives and make something that you fear. It's kinda loss potential.
I never realised the void chelicerates were this big 💀 they look way smaller without seeing the base as reference
When I look at the void I don’t see those creatures as the main threat. Just imagine the immense cold in a ocean of pitch black, where supposedly the winter time would be an infinite night like Earth’s Arctic’s.
He has a bed down there like he can sleep with having that thing watching your every move. Hell nah 😂
subnautica void: 😃
subnautica below zero void: 💀
That scream after you jumped in the moon pool terrified me
