Subnautica But I Start in the LOST RIVER...

Soon after Ryley Robinson’s return to Alterra, several research teams are sent to 4546B to catalog the species there and begin to uncover alien technology left by the Precursors. During one research mission, you and your team are sent to explore the Lost River. However, not far along into the expedition, your team is attacked by a Ghost Leviathan. You manage to escape in a SeaMoth just before the Cyclops explodes, although it’s damaged by the blast. Disoriented, you travel deeper into the depths of the Lost River, until you finally stop where we find you now. You decide to get out and quickly construct a base for shelter, hoping to have a safe place to recuperate and decide what to do next. However, moments after you finish the base’s construction, a River Prowler attacks, destroying your SeaMoth, and knocking your Habitat Builder into the brine…

I would like to quickly mention that yes, I could have taken the battery out of the scanner instead of going to the vent and getting acid mushrooms in order to craft it. But I decided that that would be against the rules of the challenge since it would be kind of lame. I apologize for forgetting to mention this in the video. I hope you guys enjoyed regardless :)

If Riley can survive starting at the lost river and make it back to the surface then what excuse did the rest of the Aurora crew have for dying

[EzekEyes]

After escaping to the surface, Riley realised he needed to go deeper than where he started and died of sadness

[The_True_Guy_Who_Asked]

He sounds like he’s grown

Feels like yesterday i was listening to him talk about reaper leviathan lore

[moonlord]

Can we appreciate how speedy sacrifices his time and sanity for us and makes incredible videos and has awesome editing

[physicalnova]

Never ate raw bladderfish, and didn't know it gives oxygen. Nice !

[retro]

Gotta be honest the lost river looks a lot less scary when you start there, instead of a long, uneasy and scary journey there

[dhairyam]

Speedy: I have no idea how far away the surface is


The depth meter: aM i A jOke tO YoU?

18:13 never heard anyone say: 'unfortunally i got copper'

I'm never this early for a video, but this one was amazing! the way you handled the challenge to make it possible but difficult while using your knowledge of the game to teach ME new stuff as you escaped was perfectly crafted. love your content, speedy.

It would be so cool to pick your spawn area for an added challenge in the base game, so much replayability value.

My forgotten river story. I just got my cyclops into the lost river, I was super nervous and put on silent running mode without knowing how it killed the power cells. Well, I do some exploring with my prawn for a bit and when I get back my cyclops is completely dead, my prawn is at 25% and I'm freaking out. I ended up making an entire makeship base just to recharge all of my batteries and damn it was the most stressful thing lol. Got out tho!

With a total of 780 seconds of air would it not be simpler to go out the blood kelp exit?

Also you didn’t need the acid mushrooms because your scanner had a battery in it

[Inv_ity]

This was amazing. Would love to see a part two in the Lava Zone! So excited for your new videos, as you are very entertaining to watch. I’m also hyped for Subnautica 3. Csn’t wait to see what it’s all about.

1:27 I guess you can say he's rolling in the deep!

now if im correct: you actually have an additional 10 seconds for your screen to fade to black everytime you run out of oxygen, so you actually have 25 seconds with each bladder fish

taking some time out, lets be generous and remove 5 seconds, multiply by 37, you effectively got an additional 185 seconds

additional calculation: your high cap tank takes 6 slots and give 90s oxygen (95 with fade-out time), but 6 bladder fish also give 90 seconds, combining it with the additional time you get from fade-out (effectively 30s from 6 fish), you actually get 120 seconds from bladder fish which is 35 seconds more than high cap tank

also the entire trip to go get the battery and return may have been over half the way if you used blood-kept exit, and that much only took half your bladders, so if you just filled your inventory with them you might have escaped a lot faster

removing your dive suit would also help you swim faster and save some time (as reinforced suit have a ~1 m/s penalty)

experiment from free play mode:
-it takes 3:44:56 (224, 56 seconds) for me to reach the surface from the moment i exited the compartment using blood kept route with ultra glide fins... i seem to forgot to calculate with air tank speed penalty but speed loss from it is insignificant as you still have a shit load of time with 43 bladder
-if you have 43 bladder fish, that means you have 645 seconds of air, and a total of additional 215 seconds of fade-out time between each use, you have effective total of 860 seconds to leave
-trade off from this route is that you will have to evade the amp eels and those pesky fish in the cave entrance (bad luck if you have the crab squid)

As someone who almost always moves their main base down into the Lost River because I love the aesthetics and atmosphere there, this is beautiful.

[ayaan]

I love how og subnautica is still well and alive, I really hope they bring an optional multiplayer for the game

[robsinmvlg]

When u needed the batterie, u could just have taken the one out of the scanner, I think! :D
But great video and I‘m so doen for a part two! <3

[aka]
