DREDGE Leviathan

"Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you're doing is worth it?"

The cool part is that it doesn't spawn only on the border, if your sanity is low enough it can appear almost anywhere on the map that isn't too shallow

Got hit with this 12 hours in, not on the edge of the map just traveling and I didn't see the fin before hand, it literally broke me. I had built up such a large false sense of security, it's like getting jumpscared in stardew valley.

[MaddyBlu]

The first time this monster got me, I was not going out of bounds, and it was the only part of the game that legitimately made me jump out if my skin lol.

[Nisenziart]

So nice of them to escort you and make sure that nothing bad happens

[onedeadcat]

Depending on how you interpret the game's lore/story, the Leviathan isn't actually a 'villain' in the traditional sense, but more like a force of nature (like Godzilla) who is trying to destroy something that is corrupting the oceans.

[justmynameandnothing.]

the fact that they gave us 2 warnings before eating us is actually a very detail thing

[TheAdvertisement]

Keep in mind the fact that the leviathan first appears at around 9am in-game time, and doesn't eat you until 1pm.
From the protagonist's perspective, these appearances were hours between each other.

I really like it when games add an entity or creature to keep players inside the bounds. I hate it whenever games just go to a black screen and teleport you back to the main land.

[TheAdvertisement]

Goddamn that's the coolest thing in this game by far, what an awesomely cinematic way of warning you never to go out of bounds.

[DarkinBladeGaming]

Raises the question of how anyone enters or leaves the islands, but the answer is probably something something something Book of the Deep anyway

My game design professor literally just showed us this feature during a lecture this morning

[justmerc]

Your ship founders! There are screams - a flood of dark water - the unforgettable sound of a ship's spine breaking -

*Slip beneath the waves*

Perhaps you'll be remembered in song.

"WARNING: Entering ecological dead zone. Adding report to databank."

[sevenproxies]

"Entering Uncharted waters. Turn back!"


it'll be fine!"

[guizamir]

there are a few times i saw the leviathan's fins and went "wait are there two of them?" no. it's just that massive.

[morphoblu]

They can just show up anywhere on the map, but usually don't attack unless you're out of bounds. I had 2 circling me one time, it scared the fuck out of me, and then they just left.

[FoolhardyZardy]

This game needs a mod with Subnautica creatures, especially leviathans.

“*Detecting multiple Leviathan class life forms in your region. Are you certain whatever you’re doing is worth it?*”

[Quantum_Plus]

This is absolutely terrifying. I've always had this primal fear of any large body of water, ESPECIALLY ones where you can't see the bottom. I mean, think about it. We've explored more of outer space, then we have our own planet. Nobody knows the horrors of the deep blue and that's what's scary.

I mean, you wouldn't want to be an astronaut coming back down from the moon, landing in the ocean only to have the pod you're in to jostle ever so slightly, then it flips over, leaving your top half covered and your bottom half completely open to whatever entity dwells in the waters beneath you. You try to swim but as soon as you start to move, something wraps your leg and drags you down. Deeper, and deeper, and deeper. The sun slowly fading as you sink endlessly within the watery grave, slowly succumbing to the darkness that envelops you.
